Where to watch the Australian Open Tennis in Bali
Bali’s sports bar scene is solid for expats and tourists, with several venues showing major tennis events like the Australian Open Tennis via satellite (ESPN/TrueVisions) or streaming. Due to the time difference (Bali GMT+8 is 3 hours ahead of Melbourne AEST), day sessions start early morning/afternoon Bali time – bars open early for finals/big matches. Confirm via bar Facebook/Instagram for coverage, as it depends on demand; Aussie-heavy crowds make it lively!
