Adelaide International: How to watch
Before the Grand Slam action begins on Eurosport and the Eurosport Player, we will be bringing you live coverage of the new Adelaide International – starting on Sunday, January 12 and concluding on Saturday, January 18.
The Australian Open then starts on January 20 through to February 3, as defending champion Novak Djokovic goes in search of an eighth title in Melbourne.
Who’s playing in Adelaide?
Australian No 1 Alex de Minaur is in pursuit of a fourth title of his own and he is now the top seed following the withdrawal of Novak Djokovic.
The 20-year-old is at a career-high 18th in the world, having won the Sydney International 12 months ago, as well as the Atlanta Open in July and Zhuhai Championships in September.

Meanwhile, fellow Next Gen star Felix Auger-Aliassime is on the hunt for his ATP title.
The Canadian, 19, broke into the top 100 last year, and the current world No 21 will have bigger ambitions in 2020 – starting with a deep run in Adelaide.
