Melbourne

Tie Break Tens kicked off 2018 with a show-stopping tournament down under in Melbourne. The opening Tie Break Tens of the 2018 series took place on January, 10 at the Margaret Court, Arena just days before the Australian Open.

Fans were treated to a gripping evening of tennis which saw Tomas Berdych seize victory and the $250,000 winner-takes-all prize. Berdych, from the Czech Republic, beat home favourite Nick Kyrgios and Canada’s Milos Raonic en route to a gripping final against Rafa Nadal which he won 10-5. The other top stars who took part were Dominic Thiem, who won Tie Break Tens Vienna in 2016, along with Novak Djokovic, Lleyton Hewitt and Lucas Pouille.
