Australian Open Day 5: 2nd Round

Australian Open 2027: Day 5 – the second round continues

On 21 January 2027, the second round continues at Melbourne Park. This phase of the tournament tends to be especially unpredictable: seeded players run into opponents who have already raised their game beyond expectations – classic territory for upsets.

The round of contrasts

Where Day 4 marked the start of the second round, Day 5 often reveals its first consequences: some favourites confirm their form, others exit earlier than expected. For fans who want to experience Grand Slam tennis in its full range, that's exactly the appeal of this day.

Ground Pass still available

A Ground Pass still lets you move freely between matches on Day 5 – a good chance to catch some lesser-known names on the tour live, before the draw narrows to the last 32.

Melbourne beyond the court: Chapel Street, Prahran

Anyone after some Melbourne flair after the tennis will find it on Chapel Street in Prahran: boutiques, cafés and a lively restaurant scene line several kilometres of the street – a popular spot for shopping and winding down after a day of tennis.
