Court 2 (Australian Open)
Court 2 is the fourth largest tennis court at Melbourne Park, in Melbourne, Australia, the venue of the Australian Open. Court 2 has no roof, but includes seating and shaded areas, and is located to the immediate west of Margaret Court Arena. For the 2019 Australian Open and onwards, it was renamed 1573 Arena, after Chinese distillery Luzhou Laojiao, producer of a baijiu labelled Guojiao 1573, made a five-year sponsorship deal with Tennis Australia, which also featured corner signage on both Margaret Court and Rod Laver Arena. The deal is speculated to be almost as expensive as Kia's major partnership deal with the Australian Open. The court has a permanent capacity of 3,000 people.
