Tennis greats John Newcombe and Pat Rafter are backing seeded home hope Alex de Minaur to make an inspired Australian Open ...
Heavy rain forced the suspension of matches on outside courts Sunday about an hour into the first day of the Australian Open.

The Hewitt family stepped out in style on the blue carpet as they were joined by other stars of the sport for the Newcombe Medal ... excited to get back to Melbourne Park.
