AT A GLANCE

Venues: Melbourne Park
Destinations: Melbourne
The 2018 Australian Open kicks off the Grand Slam tennis season in January, and plays out during the heat of the Melbourne summer.
Due to the rising temperatures, as the day wears on, much of the action takes place in the evening under lights which makes this event particularly enjoyable. The Rod Laver Arena, Hisense Arena and the Margaret Court Arena are all equipped with retractable roofs.
The 2017 event saw Roger Federer storm to an emotional final win, taking home his first Grand Slam trophy in 5 years, but which tallied his overall haul to 18. There are plenty of incredible tennis moments in store for the 2018 event, which takes place between 15 and 28 January. Melbourne is popular with tennis fans from all over the world, but it is the city's relaxed ambience and feast of activities, cuisine and culture that draws them in.
