Australian Open Tickets

The Australian Open is not only the first Grand Slam tournament of the year but also the most technically advanced court in the Grand Slam. With a surface designed to dispel heat, the Australian Open should get plenty of action out of the players, even in the midst of the Australian January summer. Melbourne Park has become the best tennis stadium in the Grand Slam from a technical point of view and packs in the fans.

Though it may not have the historical legacy of Wimbledon, the Australian Open has made its fair share of history. The modern legends of Andre Agassi and Steffi Graff set many of their records at the Australian Open. The 1988 Australian Open began the run that would eventually make Steffi Graff a Grand Slam Champion, vaulting her into the history books. In recent years Roger Federer has grown his Grand Slam tournament wins total in the Australian Open.

In the 2008 Australian Open, Roger Federer looked to rule the tournament once again in hopes of going for a Grand Slam sweep in 2008. Roger Federer was however upset by young phenom Novak Djokovic in the semi-finals. Novak Djokovic would later win the 2008 Australian Open. Maria Sharapova won the female tournament of the Australian Open putting even more doubters to rest.

The Australian Open kicks off the professional tennis season and sets the tone for the rest of the year. The male and female winners of the Australian Open are automatically looked upon as possible Grand Slam Champions and the pressure will be on until the French Open. Whether you want to see a perennial favorite make his or her run for the Grand Slam or want to see a monumental upset, the Australian Open is a necessity for any tennis fan.
