The Australian Open 2020 UTR Wildcard Playoff was held over four days at Beaton Park, culminating in a "qualifying round" on Sunday.

Up for grabs for the top two male and female performers was a chance to move one step closer to having a shot at grand slam glory.

Blazo Djurovic, Bernard Nkomba, Alana Parnaby and Bojana Marinkov were the standout performers at the four-day wildcard playoff.
