Four stars named for 2027 Australian Open One Point Slam

Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka and Jannik Sinner have been named as committed players for the Australian Open’s 2027 One Point Slam, Tennis Australia official Tom Larner said. A separate report attributed the same list of early commitments to tennis insider Ben Rothenberg, but the supplied accounts do not include direct confirmation from the players or a formal event announcement. The One Point Slam is a sudden-death competition in which each match is decided by a single point. Organizers plan to pair professional players with amateurs, with the amateur field expected to include winners of eight state championships and eight other players who qualify. One reviewed account said the amateur selection process was set to run from September to November 2026, although detailed confirmation of the process was not provided by the event organizers in the material available. The 2027 commitments follow the event’s first staging at Melbourne Park in 2026. Reports described a field of 24 professionals, 24 amateurs and celebrity wildcards. Amateur Jordan Smith won the competition and its Aus$1 million prize after defeating professional players, including Sinner.
