The first ATP and WTA tournaments of the year are upon us, with some of the best players in the world set to descend upon the Brisbane International. This is The Roar’s guide to live streaming all the action online and watching it on TV.
The tournament got underway at 12pm (AEDT) on Sunday, December 29. It will run until the conclusion of both the men’s and women’s final on Sunday, January 5, which are expected to be played from 6pm (AEDT) on that day.
All matches for the tournament will be played at the Queensland Tennis Centre, with the centre court known as the Pat Rafter Arena.
Along with the United Cup in Perth and Sydney, the tournament kicks off the Australian summer of tennis, and is followed by the Adelaide International, which runs from January 8-13, and of course the Australian Open itself, which
The Brisbane International is often used by some of the biggest players in the game as the main warm-up tournament to the Australian Open, which gets underway in the third week of January.
This year’s tournament features 24-time Grand Slam champion Djokovic, world No.10 Grigor Dimitrov and world No.13 Holger Rune, as well as women’s world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka and two-time Australian Open winner Victoria Azarenka; while the 24th- and 26th-ranked Alexei Popyrin and Jordan Thompson are the top-ranked Australians on display.
Nick Kyrgios also featured, but lost his first-round singles match and second-round doubles match.

They will have one channel dedicated to the Brisbane International, showing all the big matches and Australians throughout the tournament.
This channel will for the most part be secondary channel 9GO (Channel 99) due to the presence of the United Cup on the main channel.
