2012 $1 One Dollar Australian Open 2 Coin & Stamp Cover PNC

The Australia Open, the only Grand Slam tennis event held in the southern hemisphere, began at the Warhouseman's Cricket Ground in Melbourne on 21 November 1905.
Since then the tournament has been contested on 99 occasions. It was interrupted by the two World Ward and was not played in 1986, when the tournament was moved from mid-December to mid-January.
Initially a grass court event, the Australian Open was moved to a hard court in 1988 with the opening of Melbourne Park.

The two main courts are the Rod Laver Arena and Hisense Arena, both which feature retractable roofs allowing for all-weather play.
The women's singles trophy, the Daphne Akhurst Memorial Cup is named after the Sydney player who won five Australian titles between 1925 and 1930.

The men's trophy, the Norman Brookes Challenge Cup, is named in honour of the Australian who claimed singles and doubles titles in the Australia, US and Wimbledon championships between 1907 and 1924.
