The Australian Open

Event

When one of the world’s most prestigious sporting events comes calling, you know the build isn’t just and afterthought, it’s engineered to perform. That’s exactly what happened when Probond panels were specified for the stage platform at the Australian Open, providing a durable, eye-catching surface for one of the biggest moments in tennis.

The Australian Open isn’t just another tournament. It’s the first Grand Slam of the year and a global spectacle that draws players, fans, broadcasters and brands from every continent. Being part of that experience — literally under the feet of champions hoisting trophies — is something we’re incredibly proud of.

The Australian Open as a Global Stage

The Australian Open isn’t just a beloved local event, it’s watched by hundreds of millions around the world:

The 2024 tournament drew a cumulative global reach of more than 2.17 billion viewers, with over 558 million unique global viewers, representing a 57% increase compared with the previous year.

Locally, television coverage alone hit over 13 million Australian viewers over the course of the fortnight.

On the ground, attendance continues to break records — more than 1.2 million fans passed through the gates in 2025, making it one of the most attended editions ever.

The Design Challenge

Designing a stage for a world-class event isn’t trivial. It has to stand up to:

- High foot traffic from athletes, presenters, and media crews.
Lighting rigs and broadcast cameras which demand flawless surface finish and durability.
Weather conditions including heat and UV exposure outdoors.
Aesthetic demands, panels need to support high-definition graphics, decals, and sponsor branding without fading or warping.

That’s exactly where Probond delivered:
✔ Exceptional strength and rigidity
✔ Clean, crisp surface for logo and graphic application
✔ Easy installation and on-site adaptability
✔ A finish that looks great on camera and in person

Being part of the Australian Open stage build was a standout moment — a chance to see Probond Ultra perform under the most demanding conditions, on a platform seen by audiences around the world. Projects like this highlight what’s possible when material performance, design precision and execution come together at the highest level.
