Rod Laver Arena is the centre court for tennis tournaments at Melbourne Park, home of the Australian Open.

The arena is named after Australian tennis legend Rod Laver, the only tennis player in the world to have won the tennis Grand Slam — winning all four Grand Slam tournaments in one year — twice!

When not in use for tennis, Rod Laver Arena is a venue for concerts and other events.
