The first round of the 2015 Australian Open was riddled with upsets of seeded players, but none were shocking. On Day 3, the matchups will become slightly more difficult, and young players will be looking for their chance to shine.

Some of the biggest stars will grace the court yet again on Day 3. Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova will both play in Rod Laver Arena. Meanwhile, underdogs like Nick Kyrgios and Eugenie Bouchard will look to make a statement after a strong 2014 season.

The earliest matches on Day 3 begin at 11 a.m. Wednesday in Australia, which is 7 p.m. ET Tuesday. The latest matches begin no earlier than 7 p.m. locally (8 a.m. ET Wednesday).
