Why Multiple Tournaments in Melbourne?
The coronavirus situation and the Australian government’s [correct] decision to close borders between states as soon as there is an outbreak of a handful of cases has made Tennis Australia go the route of the US Open.
Much like the US Open organizers had shifted the Cincinnati Open to New York, Tennis Australia has opted to organise three tournaments in the week leading up to the Australian Open, all of which will be played in Melbourne to ease the creation of a bio-secure bubble.
As a result, we will be covering an ATP Melbourne Summer Set and two WTA Melbourne Summer Set live streaming options below.
What are the Names of These Tennis Tournaments Held in Melbourne?
As mentioned earlier there will be three tournaments played in Melbourne in the first week of the tennis season. These are as follows:
- WTA Melbourne Summer Set 1
- WTA Melbourne Summer Set 2
- ATP Melbourne Summer Set
One other tournament will be played in Adelaide during the second week of the first major, and will go by the name of Adelaide International which is held each year.
