Australian Open Federer, Serena in entry list

Roger Federer and Serena Williams were among the entries announced Thursday for the coronavirus-disrupted Australian Open, with tournament director Craig Tiley vowing a "happy Slam" after months of painstaking planning.

All the world's top players have signed on, led by Djokovic and Ashleigh Barty. There was a question mark over Swiss great Federer but was among those entered to play as he targets a seventh title. Williams is also committed as she once again attempts to pull level with Margaret Court as a 24-time Grand Slam champion."
