As one of the sporting calendar’s biggest events, the Australian Open is never short on star power, on and off the court.
During Saturday night’s women’s singles final, film icon Jackie Chan could be seen taking in the action from his front-row seat at Rod Laver Arena.
The 70-year-old actor and director seems to be enjoying himself at Melbourne Park, rubbing shoulders with some tennis legends, as well as modern stars of the game.

Prior to the women’s final, Chan met with eventual runner-up Aryna Sabalenka, and men’s finalist Alexander Zverev.
Chan also showed off some of his party tricks to Lleyton Hewitt and even found himself in the umpire’s chair at one point as he got to experience the year’s first grand slam from every angle.
In the end, the Hong Kong star of films such of Rush Hour and Shanghai Noon, had one of the best seats in the house to watch Madison Keys win a maiden grand slam.
The American capped off an incredible fortnight with a three-set victory over Sabalenka, having previously defeated Iga Swiatek, Elina Svitolina, Elena Rybakina and Danielle Collins en route to the final.
It’s unclear whether Chan will be at the men’s final on Sunday night.
World number one Jannik Sinner looks to defend his Australian Open crown and win his third grand slam title, while Alexander Zverev is out to earn his first major title, having fallen short in the final three times.
