Australian Open
2021 dates to be confirmed
The 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 2020 event saw Novak Djokovic storm to a thrilling 5-set Final win over Dominic Thiem, with Sofia Kenin winning her first Australian Open title in the Women's draw, beating Garbine Muguruza in a nail-biting 3-setter.
Melbourne is popular with tennis fans from all over the world, but it is the city's relaxed ambiance and feast of activities, cuisine and culture that draws them in.
