SLAM HISTORYApia International Sydney
The event was founded in 1885, 140 years ago, when colonial officials decided there was a need to discover the best tennis player in each of the colonies and to use the tournament to assist with selection to the Australasia Davis Cup team. It is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world. The event is held annually in January, immediately before the Australian Open, as a lead-up tournament for the Australian Open Series. The event was not scheduled in 2020 due to the new ATP Cup tournament.
