Australian Open organizers announce the “1 Point Slam” is returning for the 2027 tournament, with a top prize of one million Australian dollars. The event is scheduled to take place at Melbourne Park before the main draw, which runs from Jan. 17 to Jan. 31, 2027. The prize is described as approximately $705,000 based on current exchange rates. Organizers say the crowd-favorite format returns after last year’s edition.
In the prior 1 Point Slam, Jordan Smith, an Australian local amateur, won the event. He is reported to have defeated Jannik Sinner in the deciding moment and then earned the million-dollar prize in Australian dollars. The announcement is made ahead of the 2027 Australian Open, positioning the 1 Point Slam as a pre–main-draw attraction at Melbourne Park.
