Here's how it breaks down. 

AUSTRALIAN OPEN PRIZE MONEY 2020: MEN'S AND WOMEN'S SINGLES

TENNIS STARS RAISE MONEY FOR AUSTRALIAN BUSHFIRE RELIEF

Tennis Australia's initiative comes after Nick Kyrgios, John Millman, Alex de Minaur, Ash Barty and a host of international stars have pledged to donate money to the bushfire cause. 

Kyrgios kick-started the movement, promising to donate $200 for every ace  he served over the summer of tennis. 

Millman and De Minaur quickly followed suit with similar pledges, while Barty said she will donate her entire prize-money check at the Brisbane International. 

During the Australian Open, commentator and tennis legend John McEnroe said he would donate $1,000 for every set that Nick Kyrgios wins during the tournament. 

While up and coming star Alex Zverev said he would donate his entire prizemoney from the tournament to the bushfire relief .

Other stars from around the world joined in, with Maria Sharapova, Simona Halep and Petra Kvitova jumping on board with creative ideas of their own. 

The month of January in Australia has been my 🏠 for the past 15 years. Watching the fires destroy the lands, it’s beautiful families and communities of animals is deeply💔. I would like to begin my donation at 25K. @DjokerNole, would you match my donation?🙏🏻 #letsallcometogether

— Maria Sharapova (@MariaSharapova) January 5, 2020

Well guys, you know I love Australia, but you also know I don't hit too many aces 😜

Sooo I want to help and my pledge is this... every time I give @darren_cahill a hard time in my box during all my matches in Aus, I will donate $200.

This way I will raise a lot more money ❤️🇦🇺

— Simona Halep (@Simona_Halep) January 5, 2020

Australia has my heart. I really want to help those affected by the devastating fires.

I'm donating $150 per ace through all my tournaments here 🇦🇺

Now I better go work on my leftie serve 🤗 https://t.co/Vg0hEfaO7I

WHERE IS THE 2020 AUSTRALIAN OPEN TENNIS? 

As always, the Australian Open is being held at Melbourne Park.

Walking distance from the CBD, the venue has held the tournament since 1988. There are three main stadiums - Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Arena and Margaret Court Arena - which all have retractable roofs. 

Rod Laver Arena has a capacity of 14,820, Melbourne Arena can seat 10,500 people and Margaret Court Arena fits 7,500 fans.   

WHAT SURFACE IS THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN PLAYED ON? 

Since 2008, the Australian Open has been held on blue plexicushion.

Until 1988, it was played on grass, before switching to green rebound ace between 1989 and 2007.

Roger Federer and Serena Williams are the only two tennis players to win the Australian major on both Rebound Ace and the Plexicushion surface.

WHO WON THE 2019 AUSTRALIAN OPEN? 

Novak Djokovic was the 2019 men's Australian Open winner , claiming his seventh win in Melbourne with a 6-3 6-2 6-3 victory over Rafael Nadal. 

In the women's draw Naomi Osaka won her second major in succession with a nail-biting 7-6(2) 5-7 6-4 win over Petra Kvitova . 

French pairing Pierre-Hughes Herbert and Nicolas Mahut won the men's doubles in a straight sets win over Henri Kontinen and John Peers. Sam Stosur and Zhang Shuai took out the women's doubles, beating Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic 6-3 6-4.

Barbora Krejcikova and Rajeev Ram won the mixed doubles over Astra Sharma and John-Patrick Smith. 

ASH BARTY AT THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN 

Ash Barty headed into the 2020 Australian Open as the number one player in the world and was looking to win her second ever Grand Slam tournament. 

The home town favourite made it to the semi-finals, but was beaten by eventual winner Sofia Kenin in two sets. 

Until this year, Barty's best performance at her home slam came in 2019 when she advanced to the quarter-finals, losing to eventual finalist Petra Kvitova. 

Prior to that, Barty reached the third round in 2018 and 2017, and was knocked out in the first round in 2014, 2013 and 2012.

MARGARET COURT WON'T TAKE PART IN AUSTRALIAN OPEN TROPHY CEREMONY

Controversial tennis legend Margaret Court will be in Melbourne as Tennis Australia commemorates the 50th anniversary of her calendar Grand Slam, but she won't take part in any official trophy presentations. 

TA boss Craig Tiley confirmed the news on Wednesday, saying Court will remain in the stands as the winner of the Australian Open is presented.

THE LAST TIME AN AUSTRALIAN MADE IT THROUGH TO THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN MEN'S FINAL

20 different players have won the men’s singles title at the Australian Open since it was last won by an Australian player (Mark Edmondson in 1976).
