Typical Grand Slam structure: main singles draws contain 128 players for both men and women. Recent Australian Opens (including 2025) featured similar draw sizes and a global field representing dozens of countries. That wide international representation makes reliable airport transfers and a local chauffeur service especially valuable for visiting fans and players’ entourages.

• 2026 (expected): 128 men / 128 women main draw entries; doubles and mixed events as per tournament format.
• Recent years (2023–2025): Stable draw sizes with hundreds of players across singles, doubles and mixed draws and representation from many countries worldwide.
