2019 Australian Open live stream: How to watch the tennis grand slam online or on TV

Under a new TV deal with Tennis Australia, the Australian Open, like all the other events this summer and the upcoming Davis and Fed Cup ties, will be available on the Nine Network.

They are the exclusive broadcasters of the Australian Open for Australian audiences.

For the first six days of the competition, they will be using two channels to broadcast the tennis on TV, with one channel to be used after that.

The only time the tennis will not appear on Channel 9’s main high definition station is between 6pm and 7pm (AEDT) when they break for the news. During that time, both 9Go and 9Gem will be used.

Otherwise, we suggest you check your local guides to make sure you don’t miss out on any of the action.

Even though the individual player results are not included in the calculations towards the ranking, the Australian Open is still one of the most entertaining events in the Australian Open series. The event takes place in Perth, draws in huge crowds from Western Australia every season.

2019 Australian Open Schedule & Dates:

The 2019 Australian Open will be played in the first week of January. It kick-starts from December 29, 2018 and will go all the way up to January 5, 2019, when the final will be played.

Each year, eight teams from eight countries participate in the tournament. The eight teams are split in two groups of four, which then compete in a robin round format.

Every team, comprising of a male and a female player, plays three matches with the opposing team – one men’s singles match, one women’s singles match and a mixed doubles.

The leaders of each group compete in the final for the prestigious championship trophies, usually studded with gold and diamonds.

The 2019 tennis season is just a day away as the players and fans get ready for another exciting year of tennis action.

The season will kick off at Perth, with the Australian Open beginning on December 29. This will be the 31st edition of the tournament, which began way back in 1989. It's a one-of-a-kind team tournament, with men and women competing together.

While the players do not gather any ATP or WTA points from the tournament, the results are tallied by the International Tennis Federation.

Just like any other year, this year will also see 8 teams participating. Germany, France, Australia, and Spain were drawn into Group A while Switzerland, USA, Greece, and Great Britan were drawn into Group B.

The 2018 edition of the tournament was won by Switzerland, who defeated Germany in the final of the tournament.

The tournament will see the likes of Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Alexander Zverev, and Angelique Kerber take part for their respective countries.

The first round of matches will begin tomorrow, December 29, from 10:00 AWST.

Here is all the information you need to know:

Format:

The men's and women's singles will be played in the normal format, with six games per set and three sets in total, with a tie-break to determine the winner in each set if the players are tied at six games apiece.

The mixed doubles, on the other hand, will be played in the Fast 4 format, like last year. In the Fast 4 format, the first team to four games wins the set. There are no advantage scores, 'lets' are allowed, and tie-breaks are played at three games each.

Overall, the team which wins two matches will win the round. Each team will face off against each other in the group stages. In the end, the top team from each group will qualify for the final to be played on January 5.

Match 1: Great Britan vs Greece(Group B)

Time: 10:00 AWST (07:30 IST)

The first match of the day will see Great Britan take on Greece. Unfortunately, Andy Murray is not competing for Great Britain. They have named Cameron Norrie as the men's singles player and Katie Boulter as the women's single player.

Meanwhile, teenage sensation Stefanos Tsitsipas will be playing for Greece alongside his partner Maria Sakkari.

The first match of the round will be the women's single encounter followed by the men's singles match between Cameron Norrie and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The final match of the round will be a mixed doubles match.
