Australian Open to Make Changes for 2024 Tournament
Summary by Ground News
The Australian Open will be held on a Sunday for the first time in 2024. Tennis Australia says it wants to reduce the number of late-night matches. The first round will now be scheduled across three days, instead of the previous two. The French Open and U.S. Open are the only two Grand Slams to be held over 15 days.
In order to avoid playing matches in the middle of the night, the Australian Grand Slams will be played over 15 days instead of 14, starting next season.
The 2024 Australian Open will begin on Sunday, January 14, with the Grand Slam tournament set to take place for the first time over 15 days, organisers have announced.
