The centenary Australian Open will feature the first men's Grand Slam final to be staged at night. The men's final is scheduled to start at 1930 local time (0930 GMT) in Melbourne on Sunday, 30 January 2005.
"It's now [from 2005] in daylight hours in Europe and it's great hours in Asia," said Tennis Australia president Geoff Pollard.
"So it's a real step forward for worldwide coverage and interest and viewership."
