Once You're Out at Melbourne Park

Rod Laver Arena

The main stadium and centre court at the Australian Open is Rod Laver Arena, named in 2000 after Australian tennis great Rod Laver who is the only player in the history of tennis to have captured two Grand Slams (1962 and 1969) – the ultimate honor achieved by winning the Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon and US Open singles titles in the one calendar year.

Rod Laver Arena features a retractable roof and has seating for 15,000. A multi-use venue, the stadium is able to host a wide range of sporting and entertainment events, from Grand Slam tennis matches and motorbike super-cross, to rock concerts, conferences and classical ballet.
