Amateur players' chance to win $1m against pros returns to Australian Open

Australian Open 1 Point Slam to feature Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka

In short:

Australian Open's 1 Point Slam, where amateurs compete against professionals for a $1 million prize, will continue next year.

Amateur Jordan Smith won the cash prize last year, defeating pros Jannik Sinner and Joanna Garland in the knockout tournament where every match lasts one point.

What's next?

The 2027 1 Point Slam final will see the pros competing against amateurs and wild cards for the prize at Rod Laver Arena on January 13.
