The Australian Open continues on Monday with Novak Djokovic still on course to win the opening grand slam of the tennis season.

Andy Murray was the story of the first week at Melbourne Park after his epic five-set victories over Matteo Berrettini and Thanasi Kokkinakis, but the exhausted 35-year-old’s memorable run was put to an end in a gripping four-set defeat to Roberto Bautista Agut on Saturday.

Djokovic has been battling with a hamstring injury on his return to the Australian Open, following his dramatic deportation from the country 12 months ago, but prevailed against Grigor Dimitrov to reach the fourth round despite looking uncomfortable with his leg.

Women’s world No 1 Iga Swiatek was knocked out by Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina, and the Kazakh is now one of the favourites to win the tournament, alongside America’s Jessica Pegula.

Casper Ruud and Ons Jabeur were among the high-profile seeds exiting the tournament and adding to ‘The Netflix Curse’, with most of the star players featuring in Break Point struggling this week. Here’s everything you need to know during the Australian Open:

Sky has also announced that starting today, Discovery+ will be available at no extra cost for Sky customers, including for Sky Glass and Sky Stream customers.
