The 2012 Australian Open tennis championships is the next Grand Slam singles tournament for the men’s professional tennis tour. “The Aussie Open” or “The Grand Slam of Asia/Pacific” as the Australian Open is also known, is held at Melbourne Park in Richmond on True Blue Plexicushion Prestige medium-paced hard courts. To watch the tennis in Singapore subtract 3 hours from the Melbourne local times listed below.
The men’s event begins on January 11 with the qualifying singles draw and the Men’s Singles Final will be played on Sunday 29 January. Since 1988 the Australian Open has been played on hard courts and it is the first of the four Grand Slam tournaments that are played each year. The Australian Open was first held in 1905 and was played on natural grass courts through to 1987.
Please leave a comment below this article regarding anything YOU would like to know about in tennis, have explained or suggest for me to write about here at OnCourt Advantage. Click this link for details about how you can buy Australian Open Official tennis tickets.
The total financial commitment for the 2011 Australian Open tournament was 23,140,000 Australian dollars with the total prize money for the men’s singles event being $10,000,000. Those figures were an increase of %3.8 as compared to 2010. The winner of the Men’s Singles Final at the 2012 Australian Open receives a record $2.3million, which is an increase of $100,000 on the 2011 prize money.
The 2011 Australian Open Men’s singles champion Novak DJOKOVIC is pictured above at the 2011 event after he has made contact with the ball with the stroke that gives him the most trouble and stress to his right shoulder – his serve. Djokovic won his fourth Grand Slam singles title at the 2011 US Open in his third US Open singles final, by defeating defending US Open champion Rafael Nadal for the 6th straight time in 2011.
The 1.88m Djokovic will be going for his third Australian Open Singles title after winning in 2008 and in 2011. The 24-year-old Serbian won three of the four Grand Slam singles titles in 2011 in one of the best seasons by any player in the Open-era of tennis. Djokovic who also won his first Wimbledon singles title in 2011 by defeating Rafael Nadal, became the new World No.1 for the first time in his career after that match.
The main draw matches are played each day in a day session beginning at 11am and a night session starting at 7pm in the first week and 7:30pm in the second week. The exception is on Men’s Final Day when play begins at 7:30pm. The centre court at the Australian Open is called Rod Laver Arena.
Please note that the tournament management can alter the schedule from day to day, in which case we will update them here straight away.
The ATP ranking points and prize money for the men’s tournament is awarded to the players like this:
- The winner earns 2,000 points + $2,300,000;
- The runner-up earns 1,200 points + $1,150,000;
- The two semi finalists earn 720 points + $420,000;
- The four quarter finalists earn 360 points + $210,000;
- The 8 players who lose in the round of 16 earn 180 points + $93,000;
- The 16 players who lose in the 3rd round earn 90 points + $54,500;
- The 32 players who lose in the 2nd round earn 45 points + $32,000;
- The *players who lose in the 1st round earn 10 points + $20,000.
The players who lose in the 1st round of the qualifying event earn $2,860 but DO NOT receive any ranking points. The players who lose in the 2nd round of qualifying earn $5,710 and 8 points. The players who lose in the 3rd round of qualifying earn $11,440 and 14 points.
*The players who qualify for the main draw and then lose the 1st round earn 35 points, whereas players, who start in the 1st round and lose their 1st match, only earn 10 points. Wild Card entrants who lose in the 1st round DO NOT receive any ranking points.

When does the Australian Open 2012 Draw come out?
Hi Lynette,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. The 2012 Australian Open official draw ceremony takes place at 10am on Friday 13 January and the full draws should be made available on the Internet about an hour later. For all the details that you need to know about the women’s and men’s singles draws please click these links-> http://www.oncourtadvantage.com/grand-slams-australian-open/australian-open-2012-womens-singles-draw/ and http://www.oncourtadvantage.com/grand-slams-australian-open/australian-open-2012-mens-singles-draw/
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
can anybody give me their best (educated) guess as to which semi final Roger Federer would be seeded to feature in. Either the thurs 26th one or fri 27th affair…..
Hi Leon,
Just following up from my email to you and thanks once again for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. As mentioned, I selected your comment to become a feature post in my new “Especially For YOU” category where I answer comments as feature post that are in my opinion, likely to be interesting, create further discussion and add something new to this site, therefore to be of benefit to the OCA community.

No more searching for tennis, I’ll just read from here. All posts of this quality for me to read from now on!
I would like to watch Nadal play his first round match, but I don’t know which session I should buy tickets for. As he is Number 2 seed I presume he will play on the 2nd day Tuesday 17th, but does anyone know if the number 2 seed will play in the day session or the evening session???
Hi Peter,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. As the No.2 seed Nadal will be placed in the bottom half of the draw. The only way to really know for sure when Rafael Nadal will play his 1st round match is to wait until the draw is completed on Friday 13 January, which should be by 10:30am in Melbourne time and then wait until the schedule of play is released for Day 1.
There is no set procedure for whether the No.1 seed (or top half of the draw) will play on Day 1 and the No.2 seed play on Day 2 or vice versa. In 2011 Nadal as the No.1 seed did play on Day 1, yet in 2010 Roger Federer as the No.1 seed played his first round match on Day 2. What happens usually is if the Men’s draw plays the top half of the draw on Day 1 then the Women’s draw plays the bottom half of the draw on Day 1.
As far as whether Nadal will play his match in the day session or the evening session, again the only way to know for sure is to wait until the schedule of play is released for the day that the bottom half of the draw ends up being scheduled on.
If asked to guess, then I would tip that Nadal will be play in the day session for a number of reasons including that in the 1st round the men’s match selected in the night session often features a local player or Australian Open fan favourite other than past champions. As the rounds progress Nadal would become more likely to play in the evening session than in the day session. Of course, if Nadal draws Australian No.1 Bernard Tomic (as he did in the 2011 Australian Open 3rd round) in the 1st round, then he could very well be playing his first round in the evening session!
I hope this helps and please let me know if you would like to know anything further. For all the details that you need to know about the men’s singles draw please click this link-> http://www.oncourtadvantage.com/grand-slams-australian-open/australian-open-2012-mens-singles-draw/

I really enjoy your web site it gives me a full understand from A to Z what is happing at the Australian open it would be great if you could produce a magazine for the open to promote tennis and to give the public a description and a better understanding of how the Australian open works.
Thanks
what time does the day session at the Australian Open end? with a day pass can you stay in the ground and watch the evening session on the big screens?
Hi Tom,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. Yes I have official confirmation from the Australian Open that once you are in the Australian Open grounds with a ground pass then you are most welcome to stay on after the day session finishes and watch the evening session on the big screens. The day session has no set ending time; it is over once the final match is completed that was scheduled during the day.
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
I would like to watch Djokovic play in the semi finals, but can’t work out which day to buy tickets for either the 1st semi final on Thursday 26/1/12 or Friday 27/1/12 at 7.30pm. I’m also interested in watching Ana Ivanovic. Does anyone have any ideas about when either of these two might be on.
Hi Rachel,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. The Australian Open schedule sees the top of the draw for the men’s singles played second i.e. on Day 2 Tuesday 17 January where the No.1 seed is placed in the draw. The Australian Open schedule works on an alternate day plan, this means because Djokovic is playing his first match on Day 2. If Djokovic continually wins his matches, he will play on all of the even numbered days i.e. Days 2,4,6,8,10,12 and 14. Day 12 (Friday 27 January) is the 2nd Semi Final day and that would be the semi final that Djokovic’s half of the draw would play and at 7:30pm Melbourne time.

Magnificent site. Plenty of helpful information here. I am sending it to some buddies and additionally sharing in “Delicious”. And naturally, thank you on your effort!
The Australian Open’s main advantage is YOU!
I told my kids we’d all go to the 2012 Australian Open thanks for making planning easier for me.
Hi. I heard that entry is free for the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open but would like to confirm this. Could you please help?
Hi Stephen,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. The Australian Open qualifying rounds are definitely open to the public and are there is no charge to purchase a ticket to enter the tournament grounds to watch the matches. If you cannot be there at all or on any one of the four days of qualifying, then you can watch the qualifying rounds of the Australian Open free of charge from the OnCourt Advantage homepage courtesy of Australian Open TV. To do this you just need to click below the heading “Watch Australian Open Live” on the right hand side of this page.
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
That’s a smart way of providing all those details (schedule, ranking points & prize money) in one easy to understand place.
Hi there,
Just wondering when the schedule of play will be announced after the draw.
I want to watch Hewitt play in the first round but don’t know what night to book.
Hi TJ,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. The Australian Open schedule for day one usually comes out at about 6pm Melbourne time on the same day that the draw is made i.e. Friday 13 January.
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
I want to buy the first quarter final evening session tickets…….. just wanted to know whether the the evening sessions will hold men’s matches or women’s matches……….
cheers
Hi Mak,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. The Australian Open schedule for each day always is made available in the evening before the next day’s play. Usually the schedule comes out at about 6pm Melbourne time. The men and women’s first quarter final matches are played on Tuesday 24 January. Usually they play both one men’s and one women’s quarter final in the evening session, but it is all up to the discretion of what the Australian Open management decides is best for the tournament at the time. You will know for sure on the evening before, but it is a pretty safe bet there will be one women’s and one men’s quarter final played that evening.

Hi OnCourt Advantage,
I am wanting to watch the Australian Open tennis live on the tv here in Singapore and was hoping you could tell me if it will be shown here? If so, which channel will it be on? I’m subscribed to Starhub (and a bit of a tennis fan!).
Thanks!
Hi Miss Little Notebook SG,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. The 2012 Australian Open will be telecast in Singapore on MIO TV (channel 115), a SingTel pay-TV channel service provider. In Singapore, The Australian Open and Wimbledon are on MIO TV and Roland Garros and the US Open are on the Racquet Channel (a pay-TV service provided by StarHub on channel 211). You can find the exact times and days for what rounds of the 2012 Australian Open are on (from the 1st round of qualifying through to the Singles Finals), by clicking these links-> http://www.oncourtadvantage.com/grand-slams-australian-open/australian-open-2012-womens-schedule-of-play/ and

thanks for the help and answer! With that in mind i think we are going to get some tickets to the morning session at rod laver and then stay and watch the evening on the big screen. I hear with rod laver tickets you can also watch outside court matches space permitted on your ticket – is that right?
Am guessing if you buy evening session rod laver tickets you can’t enter melbourne park b4 5pm and watch the day sessions on outside courts? Sorry for the many questions!
Hi Tom,

A KEY purpose and feature of OnCourt Advantage is to provide YOU the opportunity to make OnCourtAdvantage.com THE best tennis resource YOU can find, by having what you want to know, what you want to have explained and/or advice provided to you for tennis.

No you need to enter at or after 5pm with evening session tickets and see whatever is on at 5pm and later, including the outside courts. I have official confirmation from the Australian Open on this and also confirmation on the fact that once you are in the Australian Open grounds with a day session ground pass, then you are most welcome to stay on after the day session finishes and watch the evening session on the big screens.

Well done for providing these insight SO early on!
Hey, I was just wondering if its possible to see who plays what day and where they play?
Like i want to watch lleyton hewitt in round one but need to know whether he’s playing monday or tuesday and at what arena?
Hi Bree,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. It is possible to see what day and where the the players play. The Australian Open schedule for Day 1 is now out, but only for Day 1. Lleyton Hewitt is in the top of the draw. The schedule sees the bottom half of the draw for the men’s singles played first. Therefore, Hewitt will be playing on Tuesday 17 January. However, the schedule for each day from Day 2 onwards is only made available in the evening before the next day’s play. Usually the schedule comes out at about 6pm Melbourne time, so on Monday 16 January at around 6pm is when you can find out at what time, on which court and if Hewitt is playing in the day or evening session.
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
When is the schedule going to be out?
I want to watch lleyton hewitt in round one but need to know what day he’s playing
Hi Hannah,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. The Australian Open schedule for Day 1 is now out, but only for Day 1. Lleyton Hewitt is in the top of the draw with No.1 seed Novak Djokovic and No.4 seed Andy Murray. The schedule sees the bottom half of the draw for the men’s singles played first where Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer are now seeded to play-off in the semi finals. Therefore, Hewitt will be playing on Tuesday 17 January. However, the schedule for each day from Day 2 onwards is only made available in the evening before the next day’s play. Usually the schedule comes out at about 6pm Melbourne time.

It’s going to such a great Australian Open this year! And it’s awesome we’ve both been selected to be AO Fan-bassadors on the AO website http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/fancentre/blogs/outer/index.html
Look forward to reading your updates
Congratulations on your selection by the Australian Open official website as a Fanbassador for the 2012 Australian Open! The Australian Open chose this site among the first in a select group of ambassadors because of your outstanding Australian Open coverage and social media commenting, tweeting and online conversation. People can go straight from the Australian Open Fan Centre to read your daily coverage of the tournament. It’s a very well-deserved recognition, and I am delighted to share this honor with you!
I hope roger feds collect more grand slam especially this australian open 2012…
Good info here. Do you know if you still have to buy a ground pass to enter the grounds after say 5 or 6pm, perhaps to catch the end of the days play, or watch matches on the big screen? I’d just like to go after work for an hour or two and see the end of the play, but not at any of the main courts.
Hi Dan,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. YES you do need a ground pass to enter the Australian Open grounds. It is great value, it is worth it just for the atmosphere – there is nothing like Melbourne in January! There is plenty of entertainment, bands, food, drinks and the big screens to watch the feature matches on. Think of it like you are going to see a live show/band, to the pub or the cinemas.
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
Terrific work! This is the type of information that is supposed to be shared around the net. Thank you =)
Hello,
I’d really like to watch Nadal play in the 3rd round. He has won todays match, so if he wins his 2nd round match do you think it is likely he will play a day or night match on Friday 20th?
Thank you for your help.
Hi Kaz,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. To maximise the TV ratings and create a fair value for spectators who buy tickets for either the evening or day session its highly likely that only one and not both of Federer and Nadal will play per session. Who plays in the evening and who plays in the day is totally at the discretion of the tournament management, who will make best efforts to select what they hope will be in the best interests of the tournaments success.
I can now confirm that for tomorrow – Sunday 22 January that Nadal is playing in the day session and Federer is playing in the night session.

Thanks for writing such an easy-to-understand article on this topic.

Congratulations on your selection by the Australian Open official website as a Fanbassador for the 2012 Australian Open! You well deserve this as your coverage of the Australian Open is fantastic and very informative and clear to understand.
Thanks
I love your site enjoying your I am a great fan of Sam Stosur and was very disapointed that she went out the first round, do you think she can get back to her form she had to win the US open..
Hi I was just wondering if I purchase a day single session ticket to Rod Laver Arena does this allow me to watch all the matches played on Rod Laver Arena during the day or can I just watch a particular one, for example; watch Rafael Nadal play only.
Hi Chloe,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. If you purchase a single day session ticket to Rod Laver Arena that allows you to watch the entire day sessions schedule of matches, so for Day 3 of the 2012 Australian Open people who had this type of ticket would have been able to watch the 1st match on RLA No.5 seed Li Na versus Aussie Olivia Rogowska followed by defending champion No.11 seed Kim Clijsters play Stephanie Foretz Gacon and No.2 seed Rafael Nadal against Tommy Haas.

Hi
Just wondering if you can help. We have a choice of tickets for the quarter finals australian open 2012 and was wondering if you know what day (tuesday 24th day or night session) or wednesday 25th (day ir night session) that federer if he makes the 1/4′s will play so i have the best chance of watching him. And or how it is worked out? I presume as he is in the first haf of the draw it will be tuesday…?
Thanks in advance!
Hi Scott,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. If Federer progresses through to the quarter finals then he will be playing on Tuesday 24 January. You will not know for sure whether he is playing in the evening session or day session until the daily schedule of play is released the day before i.e. Monday 23 January. Federer is in the bottom half of the draw, yet because the bottom half of the draw was played on Day 1 the first of the two quarter finals days will be played by the men in the bottom half of the draw.

Very informative website! Can’t wait to go to Melbourne to watch it live next week. Am sure that I’m going to catch some really good tennis. Thank you for the detailed and engaging reports!
I certainly like your website and I’ll surely come back again.
This is very intriguing. You are a quite skilled blogger. I have joined your rss feed and look forward to looking for far more of your wonderful posts.
This site is really great! Provides many insights and details on the events all year round. A must see website for all tennis enthusiasts!
Wow, what an amazing site…congratulations on becoming the fan site of Aus Open, fabulous achievement. I was introduced to this site just a week ago and I am amazed at how much good quality tennis information is available. I have recommended it to my 700 clients in the UK and will continue to promote…keep up the good work!
Federer is te best and no one cant reach the height of federer….
I think that is post is very significant info for me. And i am satisfied studying your article. My observation on some general things: The website taste is perfect, the articles is really nice : D. Just right process, cheers
Can someone please confirm if you buy a day ground pass, does that get you entry into the night matches on outside courts as well?
Spoke to Ticketek and they told me you have to buy 1 day pass and then a separate night pass.. can someone confirm this?
Hi MB,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. Yes each session i.e. the day session and the night session are separate. Just like two screenings of a movie on the same day. If you love the movie watch it again but you need to buy a 2nd ticket to watch it a 2nd time. If I were you I would watch the tennis day and night!
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
Not being much of a tennis fan, I have found your site rather enlightening. There is a lot more to tennis than just hitting a ball around. ( I do apologise to all the dye hards I am a newby at this. ) Having the Open in Melbourne and listening to people give their ‘professional’ opinions… it is good to find somewhere you can REALLY go to get a grip on what is actually happening. Thanks for the information and all credit to a well designed and easy to navigate site. 10/10
hello, if federer makes it through the next round, which quarter final do you think he will play in? thanks
Hi Olivia,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. If Federer keeps winning through the rounds he will play on the first day of quarter finals on Tuesday 24 January where the bottom half of the draw play their matches. The top half of the draw will play their quarter finals on Wednesday 25 January.
Editor: http://www.OnCourtAdvantage.com
Hi,
Wondering if you could help. Federer and Nadal are both scheduled to play on Sunday 22nd Jan. Would you be able to help me understand which session are these two likely to play in, evening or morning. Seeing that it is a Sunday, would Federer’s Match be likely to get scheduled for the morning if Tomic goes to the 4th round?
Also, is there a possibility that both Nadal and Federer would be playing in the same session or would they be most likely put in to play in different sessions I.e one in the morning and then other in the evening. Thanks
Hi Sarah,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. To maximise the TV ratings and create a fair value for spectators who buy tickets for either the evening or day session its highly likely that only one and not both of Federer and Nadal will play per session.

Could you please tell me if Ana Ivanovic has already won the Australian Open before
Thanks
Hi Elaine,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. Ana Ivanovic’s best result at the Australian Open was being the runner-up in 2008.

Hi
Would you please let me know if Jo-Wilfried Tsonga has the form to reach the final and when he is playing as i want see him play
Thanks
Hi Patrick,
Firstly, thank you so much for visiting and commenting on OnCourt Advantage. Jo-Wilfried Tsonga definitely has the form to reach the Australian Open final. In fact Tsonga as the No.6 seed is the favourite to win his round of 16 match against No.24 seed Kei Nishikori. This match is being played on Monday 23 January at 12:30pm Melbourne time on Hisense Arena. Tsonga will make his fourth Australian Open in the past 5 years with a win against Nishikori. In his last two Grand Slam singles events Tsonga set career-best achievements i.e. semi finalist at Wimbledon and quarter finalist at the US Open. Tsonga was the runner-up at the 2008 Australian Open, made the semis in 2010 and if he continues his upward path over the last 7 months he could set a new personal best at his most consistently performed Grand Slam, by winning the Australian Open.
