Australian Open 2025 is taking place from 6 to 26 January at Melbourne Park. This year marks the 120th anniversary of the world-famous event, which was first played on grass courts in 1905 as the Australasian Championships. It was initially held at the Warehouseman’s Cricket Ground, now known as the Albert Reserve Tennis Centre, before moving to its current location at Melbourne Park in 1988. The Australian Open is managed by Tennis Australia and is the first of the four annual Grand Slam tennis championships, occurring every year along with the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open. In 2024 the AO attracted more than 1.1 million fans, a Grand Slam record and proof that the AO really is the world’s Happy Slam.
