The first winner of the "Australian Open" (men's) was Rod Laver in 1969.
However, the championship, as an amateur tournament (which was the form which originally held the public's attention and had the prestige) was formerly known as "The Australian Championships", and was a lawn tennis event, run from 1905.
In reality, then, the very first winner of the Australian event was R. Heath in 1905, who won the final, 3 sets to 1 against AH Curtis.
