Sydneysider Jordan Smith has beaten grand slam champion Jannik Sinner and dual grand slam finalist Amanda Anasimova to take home the prize in the novelty format.

Jordan Smith comes from a tennis-mad family in Sydney and is now a millionaire thanks to a couple of days' work at the Australian Open.

The 2026 Australian Open is set to begin on Sunday, and some of the top tennis players in the world enjoyed a quick tuneup with the 1 Point Slam.

No one had ever heard of the failed former pro until a magical night at the Australian Open that captivated the world at the "Million Dollar One Point Slam."

Instead, amateur Jordan Smith won the prize, defeating Joanna Garland in the final. The event received many positive reviews, and will surely attract even more fans should it return in 2027. Weighing in with his thoughts, Greg Rusedski gave his verdict on the One Point Slam.

The One Point Slam lived up to expectations at the 2026 Australian Open. The fast-paced knockout event featured 48 players battling for a $1 million AUD prize.

An amateur tennis player beating a four-time Grand Slam champion. Men competing against women — on a normal court. Professional players taking on TV hosts, comedians and a former jockey. A single point deciding the winner of $1 million AUD ($668,300 USD), in front of a packed stadium and a captive online audience.

Jordan defeated Laura Pigossi in the second round and arranged the clash against world no. 2 and the Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner. In the biggest moment of his life, the local player emerged at the top after Sinner's careless double fault.
