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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Some of the biggest names in tennis battled it out for the $1 million prize in Melbourne. But it wasn’t Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Coco Gauff, or Iga Swiatek who pocketed an extra $1 million.

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.
