Carlos Alcaraz vs Adam Walton live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Australian Open 2025
Alcaraz is eyeing a maiden Australian Open crown.
The Australian Open 2026 opens with World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz stepping onto Melbourne’s biggest stage, chasing the one major title missing from his collection as he begins his campaign at the season’s first Grand Slam.
A six-time major champion at just 22, Alcaraz arrives as the top seed with history firmly in his sights. Victory in Melbourne would complete a career Grand Slam, underlining his dominance across all surfaces and marking another defining chapter in his rapidly growing legacy.
Standing opposite him in the first round is Australian wildcard Adam Walton, who will look to harness home support in his bid for a breakthrough performance at his home Slam.
The world No. 79 enters as a heavy underdog but with nothing to lose. However, his recent form has been poor, as he is still searching for a main draw win in 2026.
Set to be played on the iconic Rod Laver Arena, the matchup strongly favours Alcaraz’s explosive all-court game. For Walton, the contest represents a rare opportunity to test himself against the sport’s premier force under the brightest lights.
