Australian Open: From 'Other Slam' to Premier Sporting Event
The Australian Open went from a struggling major to the most attended Grand Slam. Here's how Tennis Australia made it happen.

In 1993, Jeff Pollard and Paul McNamee were appointed to lead Tennis Australia and the Australian Open. McNamee reshaped the tournament's image and reputation, and the Australian Open began to thrive.
