Australian Open - Melbourne

HardGrand Slam

The Australian Open, the year's first Grand Slam, on outdoor hard in Melbourne. The GreenSet courts measure in line with these players' norms, so serve and return sit in balance and the matchup matters more than the court. Best of five is the real filter: a little over half of matches end in straights, which gives the stronger player time to find a way. Djokovic has eight titles here.
