In order to keep up with the safety protocols, the Australian Open 2021 will require players to undergo strict quarantine rules. The US Open 2020 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/us-open-2020/] and the French Open 2020 [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/french-open-2020/] had followed similar regulations. However, to maintain strict procedures, an entire WTA tournament has been canceled. All these efforts are being made to accommodate tennis players with proper care and protection. The tournament in Limoges was scheduled to take place from December 14 to December 20. Since the tournament dates are in proximity to the Australian Open, the organizers scrapped the WTA event for this year. It would give the players adequate time, and the Grand Slam would be safer for everyone involved. “The arrangement planned by Tennis Australia […] would deprive the tournament of the participation of players appearing in the 150 world premieres, which obviously would make no sense,” announced the organizers [https://www.tennisactu.net/news-wta-limoges-le-tournoi-de-limoges-officiellement-annule-88126.html]. [Translated from French using Google Translate] Most expected Limoges to mark the end of the season for WTA. However, with the event being canceled, the WTA event at Linz will now mark the end of the season. The tournament will take place between November 9 to November 15. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2020AustralianOpenPreviews9GHocgfKa5Fx.jpg] ASHLEIGH BARTY MIGHT RETURN IN AUSTRALIAN OPEN 2021 The Australian Open commences during the third week of January and is active for a couple of weeks. Usually, players reach Melbourne by the end of the first week of January. Since the tournament requires a mandatory quarantine phase, they will have land on the continent well before the tournament begins. The Grand Slam event will be a challenge for the organizers. After the success of the US Open 2020 and the French Open 2020, it is a test for the organizers to see whether they can pull off the event without any significant disturbances. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1500x500-12.jpg] World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ashleigh-barty/] missed the previous two Grand Slam events owing to the pandemic situation. She abstained from traveling abroad due to the lurking health hazards. We will likely see her return to action at her home Major, and she will be looking forward to picking up from where she left off. 

The WTA Limoges Open 2020 has been scrapped off by the organizers as it was in
close proximity to the Australian Open 2021.

<h2><strong>Australian Open: Latest News, Results and Records</strong></h2>
The Australian Open is the youngest of all the Grand Slams, having first started in 1905.

The tournament holds the record for the highest attendance at a Grand Slam event, where 743,667 people attended during the 2018 edition of the Australian Open. It also has the honor of being the first Grand Slam tournament to feature indoor play during wet weather or extreme heat.

There are three main courts, the Rod Laver Arena, the Melbourne Arena and the Margaret Court Arena. Aside from that, they have courts 7 to 15 and even court 19 and 20. The tournament first became open to all from 1969 onwards, a year after the remaining 3 did so.

<h2><strong>Records</strong></h2>
<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/">Novak Djokovic</a> is the most successful player of the Australian Open in the Open era. The Serbian star has clinched eight Australian Open titles.

In the women's side of the game, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/serena-williams/">Serena Williams</a> is the most successful player with seven titles to her credit. Again, this was set in the Open era. Overall, Williams is still four behind tennis legend Margaret Court.

The youngest winner in the men's singles game was Australian player Ken Rosewall. Meanwhile, on the women's side, it was Martina Hingis. The players were 18 years, 2 months and 16 years, 4 months old respectively.

With regard to the oldest players, Rosewall bagged this crown at the aged 37 years and 2 months. However, if <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer/">Roger Federer</a> wins the Australian Open, he could overtake Rosewall. In the women's side of the game, Thelma Long was the oldest winner at 35 years and 8 months.
<h2>Australian Open 2021 Plans</h2>
The two Grand Slams held after the Australian Open 2020 saw major changes than usual.

The US Open 2020 was held behind closed doors, while the French Open 2020 saw just 1000 spectators allowed inside the Roland Garros fields.

Australian Open organizers are planning to allow 50 percent of the seats to be filled by fans. This is subject to government clearance. They also <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/that-wont-happen-australian-open-2021-proposes-to-relax-strict-quarantine-measures/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">plan</a> on introducing relaxations on a lot of the quarantine restrictions the players had in Paris and New York.

While the 14-day quarantine will be there on arrival at Melbourne Park, there is expected to be some freedom for players and their team members.

The third but final Grand Slam of an eventful year gets underway on the clay courts in Paris. The French Open 2020 will be the 124th edition of the tournament.

A dark cloud hovered over the event due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Cases in Paris are on the rise, but the event organizers are positive about creating a secure bubbe for the players and other members.
<h2>Where will the French Open be held?</h2>
Like every year, the French Open 2020 will be held at the Stade Roland Garros in Paris, France.

It is organized by the French Tennis Federation on the clay courts in Paris. It usually follows a host of other major events in the clay-court season. However, this time only the Italian Open in Rome precedes it, as other events were canceled due to the coronavirus.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-376510" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200914191436/French-Open-2.jpg" alt="French Open 2020" width="1920" height="944" />
<h2>When will the French Open 2020 be held?</h2>
The event had many schedule changes. It was originally scheduled from May 24 to June 7. It was then moved to a September 20 start, and again to a September 27 start.

The French Open 2020 begins on September 21 and finishes on October 11, spanning three weeks in a rare occurrence.
<h2>What is different at the French Open 2020?</h2>
The French Open 2020 is the first edition with a retractable roof on the main court - Court Philippe Chatrier. This will allow night matches for the first time at the event and also allow matches to be played in rain. The four main stadium courts will all see matches under floodlights.

Also, this is the first time that stadiums will not be filled to capacity. However, up to 11,500 fans are allowed on the three main courts - up to 5,000 people each on Court Philippe Chatrier and Court Suzanne Lenglen. Up to 1,500 people on Court Simmone Mathieu.

Also, players will be tested for coronavirus upon arrival and will be tested again in 72 hours. Players can stay only in the two hotels provided by the organizers.
<h2>French Open 2020 defending champions</h2>
12-time champion Rafael Nadal is the defending champion in the men's singles. The French Open will be just his second event in six months.

Ashleigh Barty is the defending women's singles champion. The French Open 2020 will see a new women's champion as Barty will not play the event due to the pandemic.

The German pair of Kevin Krawietz and Andreas Mies is the men's doubles champions from 2019. Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic are the defending women's doubles champions.

Latisha Chan and Ivan Dodig won the mixed doubles titles in 2019.

<h2>French Open 2020 Prize Money</h2>
The total prize money for the 2020 event is set at 38 million Euros. The prize money is less by 10 percent this year, from 42.66 million Euros last year.
<h2>French Open 2020 Schedule</h2>
This year's French Open will see night matches as well along with the usual day session. Matches will begin at 5 AM (Eastern Time).
