The Australian Open concluded successfully last Sunday. Novak Djokovic from the men’s side and Aryna Sabalenka from the women’s side were crowned champions in the latest edition. The tournament faced some hiccups midways but as they say, all’s well that ends well.
The two-week extravaganza is one of the most awaited events on the tennis calendar. The first Grand Slam of the season gives a chance to every participating player to start fresh in the new season. For fans all around the world, the tournament gives a glimpse of beautiful Australian summer with clear blue skies over Melbourne.
Talking about the fans, the viewership of the 2023 edition of the Australian Open has given some disappointing news. It has dropped compared to the earlier editions. And, when the comparison between viewership of men’s and women’s matches is concerned, it remains higher for the men’s competition.
