Grand Slams 2020

The 108th Australian Open took place in Melbourne , Australia from January 20 to February 2, 2020 .

Defending champion at the first Tennis - Grand Slam tournament of the year 2020 were in single Novak Djokovic in the men's and Naomi Osaka with the ladies, Pierre-Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut in the men's doubles, Samantha Stosur and Zhang Shuai in the women's doubles and Barbora Krejčíková and Rajeev Ram in mixed.

Air quality and criticism

The bush fires in Australia that have been going on since September 2019 also caused poor air quality in Melbourne. Despite this fact, the qualification started just one hour late on January 14, 2020, which was met with criticism. The German Tennis Association criticized the athletes' health being put at risk. With Elina Switolina and Novak Đoković , two players from the top of the world expressed themselves in a similar direction.

In fact, some players also developed health problems during their games, with Dalila Jakupović being the worst . She had a coughing fit in the second set and gave up with a lead at 6: 4 and 5: 6.
