Here’s what you need to know about the tournament:
The Australian Open begins on Sunday, January 14 and runs through to the men’s singles final on Sunday, January 28.
The women’s singles final will be staged the day before.
The event’s 15-day duration is a first, given the tournament would usually begin on a Monday, but an extra day has been added in the hope of avoiding late-night finishes.
Players qualify for the main draw by being ranked in the top 104, or by winning three qualifying matches (in qualifiers from January 8 to 11), or by wildcard.
