The Australian Open's 1 Point Slam, set for January 17-31 in Melbourne, has attracted major tennis stars including Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, and Jannik Sinner. The event features a unique format where professionals compete against amateur qualifiers and celebrities for a grand prize of AU$1 million (about US$700,000). Qualifying events are currently taking place across Australia with additional rounds scheduled during the tournament's opening week. The final match will be held on January 13 at Rod Laver Arena, pitting pros against amateurs and wild card entries in matches that last just one point each. Last year’s winner was Jordan Smith, a local amateur who triumphed over Jannik Sinner and became an instant millionaire after winning the shortest match in tennis history.
