🎾 Rod Laver Arena: Big Matches & Electric Atmosphere

Nothing beats the energy inside Rod Laver Arena at the Australian Open.

We attended on the 24th and the 25th of Jan and we were so lucky to witness:

• Aryna Sabalenka power through another strong performance

• Carlos Alcaraz impress the crowd with his athletic, high-intensity game

• Jessica Pegula defeat defending champion Madison Keys 

• Lorenzo Musetti score a major win over Taylor Fritz

If you're heading down to witness the finals this week, keep sun safe, grab lunch quickly in between the matches especially during a day session, carry hydrating drinks, SPF and munchies!

The level of tennis at AO 2026 has been incredible - every match feels like a main event.

👨👩👧 Family Activities at the Australian Open

Looking for family-friendly things to do at the Australian Open? Head straight to Ballpark presented by Emirates.

This area is perfect for kids (and fun-loving adults), with and all you need is a Ground Pass:

• Live entertainment on the kids’ stage

• Mini tennis courts and interactive games

• A sensorial room completely air conditioned for anyone feeling overwhelmed

• A giant waterslide to cool off in the Melbourne heat - take swimmers with you!

It’s one of the reasons AO is one of the best summer events in Melbourne for families.

🛍️ AO Fashion, Shopping & Lifestyle Vibes

The Australian Open is now just as much about fashion and lifestyle as it is about tennis.

A standout was the Polo Ralph Lauren and New Balance pop-ups, where fans could personalise AO towels, caps and T-shirts — the ultimate tennis keepsake. Around the grounds, the street style was just as fun as the sport.

If you love shopping and exclusive merchandise, make time to explore beyond the courts.

🌞 Don’t Forget This: SPF is Essential

Our biggest tip for attending the Australian Open?

Do not leave home without SPF.

Melbourne’s summer UV is strong, and you’ll be outdoors for hours. Reapply regularly and protect your skin - especially at all-day sporting events like AO.
