The AO 1 Point Slam is Coming to Voyager Tennis

Every great tennis story starts with a single point. This year, Voyager Tennis is giving players across Australia the chance to write theirs, by hosting official AO 1 Point Slam Community Events at venues in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia.

What Is the AO 1 Point Slam?

The AO 1 Point Slam is Tennis Australia’s national grassroots competition, built on the simplest idea in the sport: win the point, win the match. Every match is decided by a single point – no long rallies, no best-of-three sets, just one serve, one return, one shot at glory.

It’s fast, it’s fun, and it’s open to players of all standards. Whether you’re a weekend hitter or a competitive junior, everyone lines up on the same court with the same chance to advance.

Why It Matters

This isn’t just a fun club day. The AO 1 Point Slam is a genuine pathway:

• Community Events (like the ones Voyager Tennis is hosting) run locally at clubs across the country.
• Winners progress to their State and Territory Championships in December.
• From there, the best amateurs in the country could earn a place at AO27, competing for a prize of $1,000,000.

Host clubs benefit too. The venue behind the eventual national winner receives a $50,000 grant, while each State Champion’s home club receives $5,000, to be reinvested into facilities, equipment or coaching programs.

How the Format Works

Voyager Tennis events follow the official AO 1 Point Slam rules:

• Straight knockout draws, with a minimum of 8 players per draw
• Players choose Mixed (Men’s & Women’s) or Women’s draws
• Every player gets two serves per point (one, if a former ATP/WTA professional enters)
• A coin toss or rock-paper-scissors decides who serves first
• Each 32-player draw takes around 45 minutes, so even a big day moves quickly

Voyager Tennis Is Going National

Voyager Tennis is proud to host AO 1 Point Slam Community Events at seven venues across three states, bringing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to communities in Sydney’s north and south, the Central Coast, regional NSW, Melbourne, Brisbane and Adelaide.

Every event below follows the same format: a single-elimination, one-point-per-match draw, open to Mixed (Men’s & Women’s) or Women’s entries. All seven events run on Saturday 24 October 2026, with registrations closing Wednesday 21 October 2026.
