The men’s field features defending champion Novak Djokovic, world #1-ranked player Rafael Nadal, and 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer, as well as Canadians Denis Shapovalov, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Milos Raonic, and Vasek Pospisil.

In response to the devastating bushfires impacting Australia, Tennis Australia is raising support and awareness for disaster relief through the Aces for Bushfire Relief initiative. Multiple players will make donations for every ace they serve in Australia, and fans can show their support by participating in the #Aces4BushfireRelief campaign, which encourages tennis fans around the world to serve an ‘ace’ and donate to the disaster relief effort.

Additionally, this week the AUSTRALIAN OPEN hosted the AO RALLY FOR RELIEF exhibition match featuring many of the biggest stars in tennis, including Williams, Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic. TSN airs an encore broadcast of the event ahead of First Round tournament coverage on Sunday, Jan. 19 at 3 p.m. ET on TSN1 and TSN4.
