<p>He said, “We know this helps players invest in their own careers and often sets them up for success throughout the year.”</p>
<p>“We want to make sure that Australia continues to serve as the starting point for the tennis season around the world and that the players and their teams have all they require to play at their peak levels and take pleasure in the Happy Slam.”</p>
