January 15, 2018 - January 28, 2018 - The Australian Open tennis tournament takes place in Melbourne. Long-standing rivals Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal rolled back the years in 2017, winning two Grand Slams apiece. While Nadal finished the season ranked No 1, Federer was victorious in all four meetings between the pair, including an enthralling five-set encounter in the Australian Open final. Grigor Dimitrov and breakthrough star Alexander Zverev, both looking to win a maiden Grand Slam, will also provide tough competition.
