The Australian Open is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments held each year. The other 3 Grand Slam tennis tournaments are the French Open, the US Open, and Wimbledon. Dates for the 2011 Australian Open will be released at a later time.

The Australian Open tennis tournament was in danger of fading into irrelevance before being revived in 1988 with a shift to Melbourne Park, which is where it has been held ever since. Like the other three Grand Slam tournaments, it was contested by top-ranked amateur players.

Like all the Grand Slam tournaments, the Australian Open has men’s and women’s singles competitions, men’s doubles, women’s doubles, and mixed doubles, as well as junior and master’s competitions.

The two main courts used for the tournaments are Rod Laver Arena and Vodafone Arena and feature retractable roofs, which can be shut in case of rain or extreme heat. Held in the middle of the Australian summer, the Australian Open is famous for its notoriously hot days. An extreme-heat policy is often put into play when temperatures (and humidity) reach dangerous levels.
