Oh, and a Discord channel for NFT owners was set up.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, Tennis Australia released a further 2,545 NFTs, again digitally depicting Australian Open tennis balls and linked to court plots, despite controversy springing from the perception of volatile cryptocurrency markets. When you add the two tranches of NFTs together, they sold for around $3 million AUD. Nice work if you can get it.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, Ridley Plummer, senior manager of metaverse, NFTs, web3 and cryptocurrency at Tennis Australia, said the organization was commited to NFTs for the long term.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fancy-box\">\n<div class=\"fancy_box-title\">Your next upgrade<\/div>\n<div class=\"fancy_box_body\">\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' >\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"tidxyoUY3P2N5A2jEhgSNK\" name=\"nvidia-rtx-4070-12.jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"Nvidia RTX 4070 and RTX 3080 Founders Edition graphics cards\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/it-turns-out-nfts-of-tennis-balls-that-sold-for-3-million-arent-worth-much-after-all-and-i-just-died-of-not-surprise.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"\" height=\"\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"pinterest-pin-exclude\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"fancy-box__body-text\"><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-cpu-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best CPU for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: The top chips from Intel and AMD.<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-motherboards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best gaming motherboard<\/strong><\/a>: The right boards.<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-graphics-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best graphics card<\/strong><\/a>: Your perfect pixel-pusher awaits.<br \/><a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-ssd-for-gaming\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best SSD for gaming<\/strong><\/a>: Get into the game ahead of the rest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cWe shouldn\u2019t just put down our tools and walk away because the market\u2019s having its challenges. There\u2019s obviously a ton of external factors that come into play when you\u2019re exploring a new technology like web3 and NFTs, and when you\u2019re an innovative company like Tennis Australia and the AO there\u2019s obviously challenges and and rewards that come with that as well,\u201d Plummer said.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, it&#8217;s thought Tennis Australia did not issue any further NFTs, though existing owners were given ground passes. For this year&#8217;s tournament, currently running in Melbourne, it seems that the Australian Open isn&#8217;t mentioning the NFT scheme at all or offering ground passes. The Guardian says that the Discord server has been shut down, the associated websites are &#8220;dormant&#8221; and that Tennis Australia isn&#8217;t responding to &#8220;multiple requests for comment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Thus it does rather seem that Tennis Australia and the Australian Open would rather the whole thing just disappeared. All we can say is that it doesn&#8217;t seem surprising that something of little apparent value has indeed turned out to have little actual value, though in the interest of full transparency, this author doesn&#8217;t get NFTs.
