The 2020 Australian Open will be the 108th edition of the tournament and will be held at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
The tournament is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2020 ATP Tour and the 2020 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 the mixed doubles events. There are singles and doubles events for both boys and girls (players under 18), which are part of the Grade A category of tournaments. There are 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 across a series of 25 courts, the three main show courts Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Arena and Margaret Court Arena. 1573 Arena (formerly Show Court Two) was upgraded into a main show court.
Impact of bushfires
The bushfires that had burned large portions of Australia for months, left a smoke haze over Melbourne on the first day of qualifying. The air over Melbourne on that day was rated as the worst in the world.[2] In qualifying, play was delayed, some players called for medical timeouts and Dalila Jakupović was forced to retire, due to a coughing fit brought on by the poor air quality.[3]
