Australia hosts the first major of the tennis season, and the world’s best players arrive Down South to compete for both history and some of the sport’s most prized trophies.
Genre: Sports, Tennis.
Venue: Melbourne Park, Melbourne, Australia.
Dates: January 14 – 27, 2019.
Sponsors: International Tennis Federation, Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), and Women’s Tennis Association (WTA).
Description: One of four, prestigious slam major tournaments, and the first of the tennis season. From each tour — the men’s and the women’s — about 120 players schedule their off-season rest, rehab, training, and match preparation to peak during these two weeks in January. The result has been a number of epic battles through to final sets, played during the heat of the day, the cooling night, and into the early hours. With the enthusiastic and knowledgable crowds staying right through it all.
The Australian Open is also known to be the most accessible of the slams, so a ticket or two here affords fans a great chance to watch those high-quality matches between all-time greats of the game. Not to be missed.
