The most important thing about the Australian Open

The new tennis season is only a few days old and the first highlight is already coming up. The Australian Open is traditionally the first of four Grand Slam tournaments that are held annually in tennis. The answers to the most important questions are here at a glance.

When and where is the game played?

As in the previous year, the Australian Open in Melbourne starts again on Sunday (January 12th). The first round, which is stretched over three days, is intended to streamline the schedule, but financial reasons with an additional tournament day are also likely to play a role. The women’s final will take place on January 25th, the men’s champion will be determined a day later. The matches take place at Melbourne Park on hard courts. The big duels will take place in the Rod Laver Arena with 14,800 spectators. There are a total of three arenas with sliding roofs that can be closed if it rains.

What are the German chances?

Of the only seven Germans placed in the main field, only Alexander Zverev has a realistic chance of winning. The world number two wants to finally fulfill his dream of winning his first Grand Slam title with a new racket and a slightly more aggressive style of play. The biceps strain that he suffered a week and a half before the start of the tournament should have healed. Jan-Lennard Struff can at least hope for the second week of the tournament. For German women, the world rankings are 79th. That would be a surprise to Laura Siegemund.

Who are the tournament favorites?

In addition to Zverev, the Italian defending champion Jannik Sinner and Spain’s tennis star Carlos Alcaraz are particularly popular among men. Both had shared the victories at the four Grand Slam tournaments last year. This particularly bothered the former dominator Novak Djokovic, the Serb is planning to attack his 25th Grand Slam tournament victory with ex-professional Andy Murray as coach at his side. In the women’s category, the biggest contenders for the title are Iga Swiatek from Poland, Aryna Sabalenka from Belarus, US star Coco Gauff and Kazakh Jelena Rybakina.

Is there a doping problem in tennis?

According to prominent cases, this question is at least legitimate. Most recently, Australian Max Purcell agreed to a provisional ban because he exceeded the permitted level during a vitamin infusion. Before that, world number two Iga Swiatek served a one-month ban because she was found to have the banned heart drug trimetazidine. Their explanation: a contaminated medicine. Following an objection by the World Anti-Doping Agency, the Jannik Sinner case is before the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas). The world number one, who tested positive twice for the anabolic steroid Clostebol, faces a ban of one to two years. The Italian is still allowed to start in Melbourne. The lack of transparency in the case is causing frustration among competitors like Novak Djokovic.

How much is the prize money?

In total there is the equivalent of 58.2 million euros to be won – a record and an increase of almost twelve percent compared to the previous year. In the pursuit of more equality, the prize money for women and men at the four Grand Slam tournaments has long been the same. Both champions of the individual competitions will each receive the equivalent of 2.11 million euros.

Which TV channel can the tournament be seen on?

As in previous years, the broadcasting rights for Germany are held by Eurosport. Selected matches will be shown on free TV on Eurosport 1, and tennis icon Boris Becker will also be there again as an expert. The complete package with all games is only available with a paid subscription to Discovery+, Eurosport’s official streaming portal.
