Why are the finals of the Australian Open held on Sunday?
The finals of most events are held on Sunday. There are two main reasons for this timetable. The first reason is that Sunday is a rest day, which is easy to attract more viewers to watch the final on the spot.
The second reason is that all players' points will be announced after Sunday, so that ATP and WTA can update the latest points rankings on Monday.
