As originally written by Tony Miller

The year's first Grand Slam tennis event begins Sunday evening in the U.S. and Monday morning in Australia. The ESPN family of networks and Tennis Channel split coverage in America, with ESPN2 carrying the bulk of the linear television load. ESPN+ has first-ball-to-last-ball coverage, with three courts per day on ESPN3.

Broadcast Schedule

The grid below shows the TV schedule for the fortnight. Because of the time difference -- Melbourne is 16 hours ahead of EST and 19 ahead of PST -- each day of play begins the night before and runs into the morning hours in the Americas.

Sunday 1/19      Monday......7 p.m.-7 a.m.                       First

                                             5:30-7:30 a.m.     ...followed by men's doubles final

Saturday 2/1     Sunday.....[3:30-6:30 a.m.]  11 p.m.-12:30 a.m. Mixed doubles final (11); men's final (3:30)

ESPN's portion of the schedule is almost exactly the same as last year, with 101.5 hours on ESPN2 and 10 -- the men's singles semifinals and both singles finals -- on ESPN. Tennis Channel lost two hours that ESPN picked up from them on the opening Thursday night (early Friday afternoon in Melbourne).

Courts

The tournament plays out on 16 courts in Melbourne Park. Three of the courts -- Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Arena and Margaret Court Arena -- have retractable roofs. All of the courts have lights.

Rod Laver Arena seats 14,820. Melbourne Arena, which was known as Hisense Arena until the naming rights expired in August, seats 10,500. Margaret Court Arena seats 7,500, while 1573 Arena and Show Court 3 each seat 3,000. (Margaret Court Arena was originally Show Court 1; 1573 Arena was Show Court 2.)

Commentators

ESPN's coverage includes host Chris McKendry; match-callers Chris Fowler, Cliff Drysdale and Patrick McEnroe; and three people who basically do everything in Darren Cahill, Jason Goodall and Pam Shriver. Cahill has only worked men's matches since he became Simona Halep's coach in 2016.

The remaining analysts are Chrissie Evert, Mary Joe Fernandez, Brad Gilbert, Bethanie Mattek-Sands, John McEnroe, Patrick Moratoglou and Rennae Stubbs.

Ted Robinson and Alex Faust are each heading Down Under for the first time for Tennis Channel, which does not mention Bill Macatee in its press release.

Tennis Channel's programming is hosted by Brett Haber in Melbourne alongside analysts Jim Courier, Martina Navratilova and Jon Wertheim. Steve Weissman, Tracy Austin and Jimmy Arias will appear from Los Angeles. Lindsay Davenport and Paul Annacone are also on-site.

Day 3 - Wednesday, January 22nd

16 men's singles second-round matches

 8 women's singles first-round matches

16 women's singles second-round matches

17 men's doubles first-round matches

10 women's doubles first-round matches

67 total matches, 149.1 court-hours

Linear TV: Tennis Channel, 6:30-9 p.m.; ESPN2, 9 p.m. to God knows when

Keys/Rus would end up being moved to Laver due to the length of the two men's matches on MCA -- if it had not been moved, Keys/Rus would have begun at about 12:40 a.m. local time instead of 11:07 p.m.

Raonic/Garin was moved to the place of Tsitsipas/Kohlschreiber when Kohlschreiber withdrew.

Notes:

*There were two matches with solo commentators. I credited them with both a PBP and a color appearance, since they had to fill both roles, but did not double-count those in their total.

There were also two mid-match announcer switches, which is how we got decimals.

Two weeks off before Doha (which is the next tournament that gets a schedule chart, albeit not here).

Five and a half weeks until Indian Wells, the next tournament on the largest sub-major level for the men.

Sixteen weeks until Roland Garros.
