Will it be an AO three-peat for Sabalenka, and Sinner defending his title? Or will new names be inscribed on the sterling silver trophies? The 2025 Australian Open is shaping up to be another record-breaking instalment for one of the world’s largest sporting events.

At Tennis World, we’re honoured to play, learn and practice on the courts used by the very best in the world at Melbourne Park and Albert Reserve. Unfortunately, this also means our regular court and program offerings are limited over the summer period. At Albert Reserve, we will be running at least three courts of Cardio Tennis daily up until December 13 as well as social leagues and play sessions every evening. Details will be released via the client portal for members to book in from the start of December.

This year, the qualifying week at the AO kicks off on January 6. To watch all the qualifying action, you can grab tickets from $10 per person.

Due to venue requirements for site bump in and court resurfacing, Tennis World are required to wind down operations well in advance of qualifying week. As a result, all memberships at Melbourne Park and Albert Reserve will be frozen from December 1. Albert Reserve will be running evening Cardio Tennis sessions daily from 6:00 PM during the AO, access to these sessions is provided via the Summer Program Pass, which is discounted for members.

Both venues will resume business-as-usual from February 3 with Term 1 commencing on that date.

We are proud to operate out of some of the best tennis venues in the world and while we look forward to another record-setting Australian Open, we understand the disappointment many of our members may feel during this time.

We are working hard behind the scenes to bring more benefits, programs, and service enhancements to every Tennis World member in 2025. We look forward to sharing some exciting updates with you in the new year.

Hope to see you on court soon!
