Watch Australian Open 2011 Live Video Stream Online

Australian Open, the first Grand Slam of the 2011 season, takes place from January 17 to January 30 and the biggest names in both men’s and women’s tennis will participate in this multimillion-dollar event. With massive cash prizes and ranking points at stake, this is certainly a tournament that should not be missed. Despite the absence of defending women’s singles champion Serena Williams, the field is as strong as ever with current world number one Caroline Wozniacki attempting to clinch her first career Grand Slam title. Last year’s runner-up, Justine Henin is back and will attempt to take another step further to increase her career Slam haul to eight.

In the men’s side, defending champion and current world number two Roger Federer will attempt to secure the trophy once more this year and retain the ranking points he acquired to inch his way back to the top of the rankings once more. Current world number one Rafael Nadal will attempt to improve on his semifinal finish last year. Nadal is currently on a three-Slam streak – having won the French Open, Wimbledon and US Open titles last year.
