About our tournament

The tournament featured the following changes from previous tournaments:

  • First-round matches took place over three days instead of two.
  • The daytime sessions on the central courts, Rod Laver Arena and Margaret Court Arena, featured a maximum of two matches instead of three to avoid matches lasting into the early hours of the morning, such as the match between Andy Murray and Thanasi Kokkinakis in 2023, which ended at 4:05 am local time. The John Cain Arena schedule remains the same. However, the success of this policy change is questionable, since some matches at this edition of the tournament still finished after midnight, including one between Daniil Medvedev and Emil Ruusuvuori which finished at 3:40 am local time.
  • The number of game sessions for the event increased from 47 to 52 with the extra day of competition.
