Jordan Smith Wins Inaugural AO 1 Point Slam Ahead of Australian Open

The inaugural AO 1 Point Slam, a novelty tennis event featuring 16 amateurs, eight wildcards, and 24 professionals, concluded with Australian amateur Jordan Smith winning the million-dollar prize. The event, held at Rod Laver Arena before the Australian Open, involved single-point matches where pros had only one serve. Notable players like Jannik Sinner and Coco Gauff were eliminated after missing serves, while Smith defeated top players including Sinner and Joanna Garland to claim the title. Taylor Fritz, sidelined by injury, expressed regret at missing the event.
