The spotlight is on Jannik Sinner and Madison Keys as they embark on their title defenses at the Australian Open. Sinner's opponent, Hugo Gaston, awaits him for a much-anticipated face-off.

With a challenging season behind her, Keys is determined to claim victory against debutant Oleksandra Oliynykova. The American champion faced nerve-racking three-setters last year to secure her win but aims for smoother matches this time around.

Adding to the excitement, Taylor Fritz is putting his rehabilitated knee to the test against Valentin Royer. Fritz's performance in prior matches has been less than stellar, but hopes are high for a turnaround.
