The 2026 Australian Open is set to begin on Sunday, and some of the top tennis players in the world enjoyed a quick tuneup with the 1 Point Slam.

The 1 Point Slam isn’t likely to be a one-hit wonder. It was still a big topic of the day for tennis stars ahead of the season-opening Australian Open starting Sunday.

Australian Open’s '1 Point Slam' last night was a big hit inside Rod Laver Arena, bringing the world’s best professionals together with Australian amateurs and celebrities with a A$1M prize on the line.

The One Point Slam lived up to expectations at the 2026 Australian Open. The fast-paced knockout event featured 48 players battling for a $1 million AUD prize.

Some of the biggest names in tennis battled it out for the $1 million prize in Melbourne. But it wasn’t Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, or Iga Swiatek who pocketed an extra $1 million.

Jannik Sinner failed to chase $1 million at the 1 Point Slam in Melbourne, losing to an amateur Jordan Smith! A thrilling format with only one point offered a chance for the lower-ranked players and amateurs.
