The 2022 Australian Open is still a few months away however preparation is well underway with a luxury resort to be built ahead of the start of the event.
The Australian Open every year is a big deal in Australia and Melbourne sees many domestic and international tennis fans flock to Melbourne Park to watch the best play. The 2022 edition will be no exception and ahead of the event, the Park will see an addition to its tourist offering. A new luxurious resort will be built on the northern side of Melbourne Park in order to boost traffic to the event.
The northern side of the Australian Open
site will be transformed into an 'AO Beach House' to reinvigorate
tourism in Melbourne during its tennis grand slam in January. Cocktail
bars, private cabanas and a spectacular beach tennis court will take
over the precinct previously occupied by international broadcasting
compounds.
Australian Open Tournament Director Craig
Tiley said the 2500 sqm refurbishment is part of plans to welcome back
large crowds to the city's biggest event:
"The
AO is as much a part of summer as heading to the beach with family and
friends and we've designed a brand new precinct to bring the best of the
beach, and the best of the AO, together. As we all celebrate the easing of
restrictions this weekend, and the wonderful opportunity to come
together with friends and family once again, we are incredibly excited
about what this means for the Australian Open."
Access to the beach house will be free to all Australian Open ticket holders. Tickets will go on sale on November 19th.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
