The stage is set in Australia as the National Tennis Centre in Melbourne Park prepares for the return of the Australian Open, with the Rod Laver Arena ready to host the first major of the 2026 calendar.
At last year's event, Madison Keys upset Aryna Sabalenka in the women's singles before Jannick Sinner took home the men's trophy with a straight-sets win over Alexander Zverev.
The action at Melbourne Park gets underway on January 12, and runs up until the Men's final on February 1, with a total of 19 different competitions concluding over the final three days of the event.
