SPORTALITY provides exclusive tickets, corporate hospitality, luxury hotel accommodations, and dedicated transportation for the 2011 Australian Open.
The Australian Open is the first of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments held each year. Like all other Grand Slam tournaments, there are men's and women's singles competitions; men's, women's, and mixed doubles; and junior's, wheelchair, exhibition, and legends' competitions. In 2010, Serena Williams defended her Australian Open Crown (her fifth in total) by beating our Belgian Justin Henin.
The tournament was held for the first time in 1905 and was last contested on grass in 1987. Since 1988, the tournament has been held on hard courts at Melbourne Park. Mats Wilander is the only player to win the tournament on both grass and hard courts.
The two main courts used in the tournament are Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena and feature retractable roofs, which are shut during rain or extreme heat. The Australian Open and Wimbledon are the only Grand Slam tournaments with indoor play.
The Australian Open typically has very high attendance, with the 2010 Australian Open achieving the highest ever single-day day/night attendance record for any Grand Slam tournament of 77,043 and an overall attendance of 653,860.
