Finally, after a round of discussions, Tennis Australia announced that the Australian Open 2021 will begin from the February 8, 2021. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, there have been many delays and changes in the tennis calendar. This pattern has continued from the 2020 season into the season ahead in 2021.
The effects of the pandemic have been severe to humankind. The ease with which humans were contracting the virus has been alarming. Citing these reasons, the authorities had to keep the safety of all individuals as the number one priority.
Now that things have returned to slight normalcy, Australian Open tournament director, Craig Tiley said, “For the first time in more than 100 years the Australian Open will start in February.

Tiley also mentioned the efforts taken by the government and local bodies in ensuring safety so that the tournament could be carried out smoothly. He praised them and said, “Protecting the precious COVID-free environment that the Victorian community has built through incredible sacrifice and hard work over the past six months, has been paramount. It has taken eight months of working alongside government authorities to give us the opportunity to present an Australian Open.”
Another great initiative taken by Tennis Australia was that they’ve decided to support local businesses. During the pandemic, these businesses took a huge hit as there were no sales, which continued for a lengthy period.
