The 2014 Australian Open is a tennis tournament that will be played on outdoor hard courts. It will be the 102nd edition of the Australian Open, and the first Grand Slam tournament of the year. It will take place at Melbourne Park from 13 to 26 January 2014.[1]

Tournament

Rod Laver Arena where the Finals of the Australian Open take place

The 2014 Australian Open will be the 102nd edition of the tournament and will be held at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The tournament is an event run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2014 ATP World Tour and the 2014 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consists of both men's and women's singles and doubles draws as well as a mixed doubles event. There will be singles and doubles events for both boys and girls (players under 18), which is part of the Grade A category of tournaments, and also singles, doubles and quad events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players as part of the NEC tour under the Grand Slam category.

The tournament will be played on hard courts and will take place over a series of 16 courts, including the three main showcourts, Rod Laver Arena, Hisense Arena and Margaret Court Arena. The latter is undergoing refurbishment, as part of the Melbourne Park Redevelopment project. For the first time in the history, any Grand Slam event will be played on three stadium courts, however the retractable roof over Margaret Court Arena will be fixed in an open position throughout the tournament.[2]
