The 2024 Australian Open was a Grand Slam tennis match held at Melbourne Park from January 14 to 28, 2024. It was the 112th Australian Open, the 56th in the Open Era, and the first major tournament of the year. The tournament consists of events for skilled gamers.

Novak Djokovic was the defending Adult men’s singles winner. He was defeated in the semifinals by Jannik Sinner. Sinner then beat Daniil Medvedev in a five-set ultimate to earn his first major title. Aryna Sabalenka successfully defended the Women’s singles title. She claimed her second major singles title by defeating Zheng Qinwen. She did not lose a set during the event.
This was the first time in the tournament’s 119-year history. The Australian OpenTennis Championships were held on a Sunday. No matches were played.
The tournament showcased the subsequent improvements from past tournaments:[9]
Very first-round matches occurred about 3 days instead of two.
Most of the two matches were played during the daytime classes. They were played on the central courts, Rod Laver Arena, and Margaret Court Arena. They only had two, instead of three, matches. This was done to prevent matches from lasting into the early hours of the morning. For example, in 2023, a match involving Andy Murray and Thanasi Kokkinakis ended at 4:05 am local time. The John Cain Arena schedule remains the same. However, the good results of the coverage improvement could be better. Some matches at this edition of the tournament finished immediately after midnight. For example, one betweenDaniil Medvedev and Emil Ruusuvuori finished at 3:40 am area time.
The occasion has gone from 47 to 52 sports periods. Competitors have an extra day.
