Rafael Nadal and Iga Swiatek will play their first round on Monday

Things are really heating up in Melbourne. The schedule for the first day of the Australian Open, next Monday, was revealed on Friday by the tournament organization. And it will be the high parts of the women’s and men’s singles tables that will launch the fortnight, with the main seeds, Iga Swiatek and Rafael Nadal, at the forefront. If the first will animate the first “night session” of the Rod Laver Arena, the second will have performed a few hours earlier in the day on the same court.

Coco Gauff will be the first to take the court on Rod Laver Arena, against the Czech Katerina Siniakova. Daniil Medvedev will close the evening session against the American Marcos Giron.
