The Australian Open is the first of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments held each year. The tournament is held in January at Melbourne Park. The tournament was held for the first time in 1905 and was last contested on grass in 1987. Since 1988, the tournament has been held on hard courts at Melbourne Park. Mats Wilander is the only person to have won the tournament on both grass and hard courts. The book lists the Australian Champions in the 80s including Brian Teacher, Johan Kriek, Mats Wilander, Stefan Edberg, Ivan Lendl, Hana Madlikova, Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert, and Steffi Graf.
