Amateur Jordan Smith sensationally upset a star-studded field to collect a $1 million Australian dollars (US$670,000) prize on Wednesday by winning the pressure-packed “One Point Slam” ahead of the Australian Open.
The innovative sudden-death contest at a sold-out Rod Laver Arena pitted 24 professionals led by Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff alongside 24 amateurs and celebrity wildcards.
