The Australian Open in Melbourne attracted numerous celebrities and public figures, including Jackie Chan, Liam Hemsworth, and politicians like Annastacia Palaszczuk, to witness high-stakes matches. Jannik Sinner claimed victory in the men's singles final against Alexander Zverev, and Madison Keys triumphed over Aryna Sabalenka in the women's final. However, a major controversy arose due to the scheduling of the men's doubles final, which saw a nearly empty Rod Laver Arena as it was played late at night, prompting calls for future scheduling changes. Meanwhile, Jackie Chan's presence at the event was a talking point among fans and media, highlighting his interactions with tennis players such as Alexander Zverev and Lleyton Hewitt. Despite the glamorous attendance, the scheduling mishap overshadowed the doubles final's significance, indicating a need for better planning in future tournaments.
