2015 Australian Open – Main draw wildcard entries


The 2015 Australian Open wildcard playoffs and entries are a group of events and internal selections to choose the eight men and eight women singles wildcard entries for the 2015 Australian Open, as well as seven male and seven female doubles teams plus eight mixed doubles teams.
One wildcard each was given to the winners of the Australian Open Wildcard Playoff, a tournament between Australian players who did not receive direct entry into the draw.
In an agreement with the United States Tennis Association and the French Tennis Federation, Tennis Australia gives one man and one woman from the United States and France each a wildcard into the Australian Open. The French players were chosen by internal selection, while 2014 USTA Pro Circuit's Australian Open Wild Card Challenge determined the two American players receiving wildcards.
Since the Australian Open is promoted as the "Grand Slam of Asia/Pacific", one male and one female player from this geographical area were awarded a wildcard. This was decided through the Asia-Pacific Australian Open Wildcard Playoff. At the same event, one male and one female doubles team won wildcards, and one wildcard each was contested in boys and girls singles.
Remaining wildcards were awarded by internal Australian selection.
