Australian Open Tennis Championships
What started out as the Australasian Championships in 1905 has
become what is known today as the Australian Open. It has been
staged at six different venues: New Zealand, Melbourne, Sydney,
Adelaide, Brisbane and Perth. Since 1972, the tournament has been
held every year at Melbourne Park. The Australian Open is one of
the four tennis championships that make up the 'Grand Slam,' and a
coveted prize for the top professionals.
