=== Impact of bushfires ===
==Point and prize money distribution==
The [[2019–20 Australian bushfire season|bushfires]] that had burned large portions of Australia for months left a smoke haze over Melbourne on the first day of qualifying. That day, the air over Melbourne was rated as the worst in the world.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/jan/14/melbourne-choked-by-hazardous-smoke-as-bushfires-continue-to-burn-across-victoria|title=Melbourne's air quality 'worst in the world' as bushfires continue to burn across Victoria|agency=Australian Associated Press|date=2020-01-14|work=The Guardian|access-date=2020-01-14|issn=0261-3077}}</ref> In qualifying, play was delayed, some players called for medical timeouts, and [[Dalila Jakupović]] was forced to retire, due to a coughing fit brought on by the poor air quality.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/jan/14/safety-first-as-australian-open-qualifying-delayed-due-to-poor-air-quality|title=Smoke plays havoc with tennis as Australian Open qualifier suffers coughing fit|last=Hytner|first=Mike|date=2020-01-14|work=The Guardian|access-date=2020-01-14|last2=Howcroft|first2=Jonathan|issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

The tournament held a [[2011 Australian Open|Rally for Relief similar to the one of 2011]] before the tournament to raise money to aid areas devastated by the bushfires. [[Novak Djokovic]], [[Coco Gauff]], [[Petra Kvitová]], [[Rafael Nadal]], [[Naomi Osaka]], [[Dominic Thiem]], [[Stefanos Tsitsipas]], and [[Alexander Zverev]] all played a doubles format match with [[Serena Williams]] and [[Caroline Wozniacki]] as team captains. [[Roger Federer]] and [[Nick Kyrgios]] later played a one set singles match where Federer prevailed.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Stars step out to Rally for Relief|url=https://ausopen.com/articles/news/stars-step-out-rally-relief|access-date=2022-01-29|website=ausopen.com}}</ref>

==Singles seeds==
The following are the seeded players. Seedings are based on ATP and WTA rankings on 13 January 2020, while ranking and ''points before'' are as of 20 January 2020. ''Points after'' are as of 3 February 2020. Because the 2020 tournament will take place one week later than in 2019, points defending includes results from both the [[2019 Australian Open]] and the tournaments from the week of 28 January 2019 ([[2019 St. Petersburg Ladies' Trophy – Singles|St. Petersburg]] and [[2019 Thailand Open – Singles|Hua Hin]] for WTA players).

Current projections of seedings are based on live results as of 9 January 2020 and are subject to change.

The 2020 Australian Open was a Grand Slam tennis tournament that took place at Melbourne Park, from 20 January to 2 February 2020. It was the 108th edition of the Australian Open, the 52nd in the Open Era, and the first Grand Slam of the year. The tournament consisted of events for professional players in singles, doubles and mixed doubles. Junior and wheelchair players competed in singles and doubles tournaments. As in previous years, the tournament's main sponsor was Kia.

Novak Djokovic and Naomi Osaka were the defending champions in Men's Singles and Women's Singles, respectively. Osaka lost in the third round to Coco Gauff. In contrast, Djokovic successfully defended his title by defeating Dominic Thiem to win the tournament for a record-extending eighth time.

Prior to this edition of the Australian Open, the supplier of the hard courts was changed to GreenSet, though the court surface and color remained the same.[1] This is one of the few sporting events held in 2020 which was unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Tournament

[edit]
Rod Laver Arena, seen here in 2020, is the tournament's centre court and location of the finals.

The 2020 Australian Open was the 108th edition of the tournament, held at Melbourne Park in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

The tournament is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2020 ATP Tour and the 2020 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament consists of both men's and women's singles and doubles draws as well as the mixed doubles events. There are singles and doubles events for both boys and girls (players under 18), which are part of the Grade A category of tournaments. There are also singles, doubles and quad events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players as part of the NEC tour under the Grand Slam category.

The tournament is played on hard courts and is taking place across a series of 25 courts, the three main show courts Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne Arena and Margaret Court Arena. 1573 Arena (formerly Show Court Two) was upgraded into a main show court.

Impact of bushfires

[edit]

The bushfires that had burned large portions of Australia for months left a smoke haze over Melbourne on the first day of qualifying. That day, the air over Melbourne was rated as the worst in the world.[2] In qualifying, play was delayed, some players called for medical timeouts, and Dalila Jakupović was forced to retire, due to a coughing fit brought on by the poor air quality.[3]

The tournament held a Rally for Relief similar to the one of 2011 before the tournament to raise money to aid areas devastated by the bushfires. Novak Djokovic, Coco Gauff, Petra Kvitová, Rafael Nadal, Naomi Osaka, Dominic Thiem, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Alexander Zverev all played a doubles format match with Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki as team captains. Roger Federer and Nick Kyrgios later played a one set singles match where Federer prevailed.[4]
