The 2024 Australian Open saw major breakthroughs for Rolex Testimonials Jannik Sinner
The 2024 Australian Open saw major breakthroughs for Rolex Testimonials Jannik Sinner and Chin-Wen Cheng. The two young players showed off their skills on the Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park, winning the attention of tennis fans around the world. It is worth mentioning that tennis legend Rod Laver was present to witness their glorious moments.
Chin-Wen Cheng performed well in 2024, reaching her first Grand Slam final at the age of 21 and winning the gold medal at the Paris Olympics in July of the same year. She said that being able to play on the Rod Laver Arena, especially under the watchful eyes of Rod Laver, was very meaningful to her. She mentioned: "I am very excited to have Rod Laver here, a tennis legend. His love and passion for tennis has touched me deeply."
Rod Laver is the only player in tennis history to win all four Grand Slam titles twice in the same year, achieving this feat in 1962 and 1969. His achievements have not been matched to this day, especially in the Open Era. 2025 will mark the 65th anniversary of his first Grand Slam title, which will also mark his immortal status in tennis history.
Rolex has been a partner of Wimbledon since 1978 and has been the official timekeeper of the Australian Open since 2008. Rod Laver said: "Rolex's support for the Australian Open is not only vital to the sport of tennis, but also has a profound impact on Australia's influence in the international tennis world."
Former world number one Caroline Wozniacki also expressed deep feelings for Rod Laver Stadium. She won the 2018 Australian Open here, a key moment in her career. She recalled: "Rod Laver Arena has a special place in my heart because it is where I won my first Grand Slam title."
Jannik Sinner also won his first Grand Slam title at Rod Laver Arena. He said: "Every season has a special story, and the Australian Open is always the beginning of the season, which makes me very excited. I really enjoy playing at Melbourne Park, and the audience here is always energetic."
The 2025 Australian Open will be held from January 12 to January 26. As the opening game of the new season, Rolex will continue to support this event and present more exciting moments to tennis fans around the world. Rod Laver Arena will once again be the ideal venue for players to compete for Grand Slam titles, and Rolex legends will also witness their outstanding performances on the sidelines.
