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.

What Happened in the 2021 ATP & WTA Melbourne?

There were no Melbourne Summer Set competitions in 2021 but there were a few tournaments which were held in the city of Melbourne as the tennis authorities tried to reduce the chances of the spread of the coronavirus by concentrating on just one city.

Jannik Sinner won the Great Ocean Road Open and Dan Evans clinched the title at the Murray River Open on the men’s side of things.

The Yarra Valley Classic was won by Ash Barty, Elise Mertens pocketed the Gippsland Trophy while the final of the Grampians Trophy was abandoned because of scheduling issues with Anett Kontaveit scheduled to play Ann Li in the final.

In 2020, ATP tennis saw Andrey Rublev win the Adelaide International, while Ugo Humbert was the winner at the Auckland Open.

Karolina Pliskova won the 2020 Brisbane International, Serena Williams clinched the Auckland Open, Ash Barty scooped up the Brisbane International while Elena Rybakina went the distance at the Hobart International.
