The historic Kooyong tournament, cancelled for 2025... and in danger?

Kooyong is a place that every tennis lover knows well. For many years, the Australian Open was held there, at a time when not all the top players would make the sacrifice to travel to the Antipodes. In recent decades, it has become a prestigious exhibition that has seen names like Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer grace its courts, serving as a regular venue to warm up for the Australian Open. However, the organizers have canceled the 2025 edition, casting doubt on the event's future and raising questions about its return in 2026. They will try, but tennis could lose one of its most iconic venues.
