The Australia Open – the first tennis Grand Slam event of the year – has finally got under way.
The event, which is allowing a reduced number of fans to watch matches at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, was postponed to allow players to quarantine in hotels upon their arrival down under.
Despite the coronavirus pandemic causing chaos across the world, some of the sport's top names have still signed up to compete in this year's event, although British superstar Andy Murray will miss the tournament after testing positive for Covid-19 shortly before being due to fly to Melbourne.
The incredible athletes who do take part will be cheered on by reduced crowds, with 17,922 fans watching on Monday, down from 64,387 on the same day at the previous year's tournament.
Also cheering them on will be their glamorous WAGs.
