This official #AustralianOpen YouTube channel has live coverage of select matches at the tournament... with a twist: it presents cartoon-like avatars of players instead of the real footage, as a workaround for broadcast deals which often mean #tennis only being available to paid TV channel subscribers in many countries.

It includes standard English commentary though, so for blind tennis fans who don't mind TV coverage it might be a pretty good offering when radio isn't covering the match you want.
