Tennis is back in action and the first Grand Slam of the year is set to bring the heat down under in Melbourne Park.
The 2023 Australian Open will run from Monday, Jan. 16 through Sunday, Jan. 29 with an expectant record-breaking attendance of 900,000 fans.
While fans won't be able to witness the defending champion Australian star Ashleigh Barty as she retired after winning the Slam last year, fans can begin to set their sights on the one and only Nick Kyrgios, who made numerous headlines throughout the 2022 tennis calendar.
Nonetheless, with all the hard work players will be putting in on the court, there is a historic-high prize pool of a record $76.5 million (a 3.4 increase from last year) on the line as a reward.
