The Australian Open is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments that take place throughout the year. Held annually in Melbourne in January, it is the first of the four tournaments, marking the vibrant start of the tennis season and being a bellwether of what we can expect for the season, so it’s important to keep an eye on the Australian Open champions.
In 2024, for example, the Australian Open champion became world number 1 in May of the same year. And you’re wrong if you think it was Djokovic or Nadal! It was the Italian Jannik Sinner who won the Australian Open.
That’s why you should get to know the Australian Open champions and immerse yourself in the history of this exciting tournament;
