One of Australia's most well-known and prestigious tournaments, the Australian Open is an annual tennis tournament that has been going on since 1905.

Played over two weeks, the Australian Open was established in 1905, but since 1969, it has been an Open Era event.

This allowed professional players to compete with amateurs; before 1969, only amateurs could compete in Grand Slam tournaments.

Since 1969, 15 individuals have been crowned as winners of the Australian Open, with Serena Williams (7 wins), Margaret Smith Court (4 wins), Evonne Goolagong (4 wins), Steffi Graf (4 wins) and Monica Seles (4 wins) at the top of the list.
