The Australian Open 2022 will kick-start the year\u2019s Grand Slams in traditional fashion with prestige, glory and a hefty sum of prize money on offer.<\/p>\n

A huge pot will be fought over across the two-week period as the finest players from around the world battle for supremacy in a bid to start their calendar year in style.<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s COVID-affected tournament saw the prize money amount remain equal to 2020, though the winners received a much lower payout than usual, and earlier round exits received higher figures than usual. This was to reward lower-ranked players whose income had been badly affected by a heavily-impacted 2020 schedule.<\/p>\n

The balance has reverted back to normal in 2022 with the Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s Singles payday jumping up to \u00a32.3million and decreasing totals in the earlier rounds.<\/p>\n

Novak Djokovic is included in the main draw for the Men\u2019s Singles tournament despite question marks lingering over his status to remain in Australia.<\/p>\n

Aussie Ash Barty will be hoping to make the most of her world No.1 status in front of a home crowd as she aims to win this tournament for the first time in her career.<\/p>\n
