Ahead of the Australian Open’s main draws, the first major of the year held the second iteration of its 1 Point Slam as an awesome pre-tournament event.
How the 1 Point Slam works is simple: play one point and if you win, you move on. Who serves is determined by a game of “rock, paper, scissors” at the net, while the pros in the field are limited to a single serve with all others allowed a second serve if they fault on the first. The 64-player draw was made up of the world’s best tennis stars, celebrities and amateurs who won the right to compete through 1 Point Slam state championships across Australia.
