With the opening major of 2020 due to start at January 20, Melbourne has been blanketed by haze in recent days from blazes burning to the east – part of Australia’s bushfire crisis that has left 25 people dead.
“All the information we have at the moment, with qualifying coming up next week, is that the forecast is good, we don’t expect any delays and we’ve implemented additional measures to ensure the Australian Open will be able to run as scheduled.” “We’ve committed substantial extra resources to analysis, monitoring and logistics to ensure this throughout the tournament,” he said.
But as Melbourne Park has three roofed stadiums and eight other indoor courts, the chances of major delays appear minimal. Every ace hit at the tournament will see Aus$100 donated to victims, while several players have individually pledged more.
