Australian Open History and Previous Winners
History
The Warehouseman’s Cricket Ground hosted the first Australian Open championship in 1905, marking one of the oldest events in tennis. Over its 110-year history, the tournament underwent several name changes and was held in various major cities across Australia. Originally known as the Australasian Championships, it did not transition into a modern-day Grand Slam with global recognition until 1924.
During many years of its existence, the championship was played on grass courts, the dominant surface during the Amateur Era. However, since 1988, the event has been conducted on hard courts. Not only has the location changed, but the format of the tournament has also undergone modifications. The inaugural women’s event took place in 1922.
