To help fans keep in touch with all things tennis at the first Grand Slam of 2012, the Australian Open 2012 Official Program is now available as an iPad app, conceived and created by Slattery Media Group.

The Australian Open Official Program 2012 for iPad, presented by ANZ, provides users with a digital version of the program of one of Australia’s biggest sporting events, for free.

Plus! Live scores from the tournament, a live news feed from the official website and extended photo-galleries and videos are all, literally, at your fingertips, as well as an extensive tournament guide for those attending the event.

The program and the app also contains special features, analysis of the championships and 200 men’s and women’s profiles for true fanatics, an article by celebrated tennis writer Neil Harman of The Times on the rise of defending champion Novak Djokovic and an analysis of the ever-changing world of women’s tennis by respected sports writer Jon L Wertheim from Sports Illustrated.

Tennis Australia CEO Steve Wood said he is delighted to have the Official program available on iPad.

“As a world class event we are constantly looking for new ways to engage our fans both here in Australia and internationally, and this new, free app makes the event even more accessible.” Mr Wood said on the official Australian Open website.

Other articles include special anniversary tributes celebrating 25 Years at Melbourne Park, the 100th Men’s Championship, the fortieth anniversary of Ken Rosewell’s last Australian title in 1972 and the fiftieth anniversary of Rod Laver’s first Gran Slam in 1962, including an exclusive interview with Laver.

The app was developed with presenting partner ANZ, associate producer of the Australian Open.
