Australian Open round of 16 live stream: How to watch online, TV, time, schedule
Novak Djokovic faces another test of his fitness as he plays Alex de Minaur for a place in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open on Sunday, Jan. 22. The Australian Open will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Sling (half off the first month).
Djokovic has been dealing with a sore left hamstring throughout the tournament and will try to fend off De Minaur, the Australian who is perhaps the fastest player on the men’s tour. Djokovic is trying to win the Australian Open for a record-extending 10th time. He is also the only man left in the bracket who has won a Grand Slam title — and another would pull him even with Rafael Nadal at 22, the most for a man.
In other men’s fourth-round matches, No. 5 Andrey Rublev plays No. 10 Holger Rune, No. 24 Roberto Bautista Agut faces Tommy Paul, and Ben Shelton takes on J.J. Wolf in an all-American contest. In women’s action, No. 4 seed Caroline Garcia tries to take a step closer to her first Grand Slam title when she plays Magda Linette, No. 5 Aryna Sabalenka plays Belinda Bencic, Donna Vekic faces 17-year-old Linda Fruhvirtova and No. 30 Karolina Pliskova plays No. 23 Zhang Shuai.
When is the Australian Open?
The Australian Open continues at 6 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) on Sunday, Jan. 22.
Will it be live streamed?
FuboTV
The game will be live streamed on fuboTV, which offers a free trial. The most basic of plans is the “fubo standard” package, which comprises 121-plus channels for $69.99 per month. Like all cord-cutting alternatives, there are plenty of options, especially for sports. It comes with more than 1,000 hours of cloud-based DVR, and up to 10 screens at once.
SlingTV
SlingTV is also one of the cheaper live streaming services. It offers three different channel packages for its users: Sling Orange, Sling Blue and Sling Orange + Blue.
All three packages are offering half off the first month.
Sling Blue and Sling Orange are both $40 per month, but offer different channel selections.
The main difference between the two packages is the line of ESPN channels offered with Sling Orange as opposed to channels such as Fox News, MSNBC, Discovery and Bravo offered with Sling Blue.
Meanwhile, Sling Orange + Blue is both packages combined for $55 a month.
What TV channel will broadcast?
The Australian Open will be broadcast on ESPN2.
