China held sensational talks to host the Australian Open in Shanghai during the COVID-19 pandemic, and could yet ‘steal’ the tournament in the future, according to reports.

The cash-strapped competition has been linked with a change of host city in recent years, despite signing a 23-year deal to remain in Melbourne. 

Reports had long suggested that Melbourne could lose its famous event. Tournament CEO Craig Tiley reportedly held discussions with Sydney and Shanghai over moving the Australian Open in 2020 and 2021.
