Aus Open Day 6 Broadcast Schedule: Dasha set to sizzle

Aussie 22nd seed 'Dasha' Gavrilova will take confidence into her Saturday night prime time battle with Timea Bacsinszky knowing she's won both previous clashes against the Swiss star.

If the young Australian proves victorious, she will advance to the fourth round to face either Karolina Pliskova or Jelena Ostapenko.

Following the Gavrilova match, world no. 15 Grigor Dimitrov is up against Frenchman Richard Gasquet.

Dimitrov beat Gasquet for the first time last year in Shanghai after six attempts and the Bulgarian will be aiming to repeat the dose to book his spot in the second week.

Late afternoon, fourteen-time grand slam winner Rafael Nadal takes on the young rising star of world tennis, German Alexander Zverev, for the second time after dropping a set in their first encounter at Indian Wells.

Six-time Australian Open champion Serena Williams will face off against compatriot Nicole Gibbs.

Also at night, French show man Gael Monfils versus German 32nd seed Phillip Kohlschreiber.

Seven will serve up the tennis on all platforms again allowing viewers to watch live anywhere, anytime, on any device.

In addition to live and exclusive match coverage on Channel 7, 7TWO and 7mate, fans will be able to watch more tennis than ever before with every tournament during the Summer of Tennis streamed live via the 7TENNIS app.
