Tennis Australia Press Release, September 15, 2022

Australia’s and the world’s best emerging tennis players will swing into action on the second half of the 2022 Australian Pro Tour with a host of international tournaments across Australia over the coming months.

“We’re really excited that this year we’ve been able to host a full Australian Pro Tour schedule with more than 1.1 million [USD] prize money on offer, after a challenging couple of years for tournaments around the country,” Tennis Australia’s Pro Tour Manager Fiona Luscombe said.

“The Australian Pro Tour is essential to providing local and international competitors playing opportunities at a professional international level, especially from the Asia Pacific region.

“Hosting these events is integral to the player pathway, and we’ve seen many of Australia’s best players like Ash Barty, Sam Stosur, Nick Kyrgios, and Lleyton Hewitt transition from this level, to competing and winning Grand Slams.

“The tournaments are also vital for local communities and provide great economic and social benefits for those hosting events, and we are very thankful to all of the councils, regions and host venues for their continued support,” Luscombe continued.

In addition, a host of UTR Tournaments will be staged around the country, providing even more opportunities for Australian players to compete for national prizemoney and improve their global rating. The full competitive play calendar is available here, and Australia’s top rated players is available here.
