Australian open has a rich history of talented players and engrossing matches, of legends made and dreams shattered, and of an entire world cheering their favourite players on for over a century.

Australian Open's prestige is not defined by the fact that it is the only Grand Slam event in the southern hemisphere. That it was first held in 1905 is also not the real proof of it's stature. What truly defines this tournament is the importance that premier tennis players have attached to it for more than a century.
