So you think you know tennis, do you?
In 2026 Tennis Australia is giving Australian fans a chance to prove it with the announcement of the AO26 $10 Million Bracket Challenge.
The $10 million prize is on offer for any fan who can correctly predict the perfect bracket for the entire men’s or women’s singles draws—that’s a whopping 127 consecutive matches in case you’re wondering—before the tournament begins.
If no entrant achieves a perfect bracket—highly likely given the chances are astronomically small (1 in 170,141,183,460,469,231,731,687,303,715,884,105,728 according to ChatGPT)—consolation prizes will be awarded to the highest-scoring brackets in each draw with $10,000 for the top men’s and women’s entries.

“This is a game of skill, not chance,” Tennis Australia Chief Commercial Officer Cedric Cornelis said.
“The AO Bracket Challenge is about rewarding tennis knowledge and creating an exciting new way for fans to engage with the tournament.”
Bracket tripping competitions have long been a popular feature of many fantasy sports, but Tennis Australia says the AO26 $10M Bracket Challenge represents the largest such fan prize ever offered in world tennis.
