Australian Open 2025

[MARTINE]

Happy New Year to everyone.
For those interested in tennis is time for AO 2025. Its a great time of year in the city, sliding into that fun post festivities summertime vibe.
I have been going since (mumbles into her hand) it was at Kooyong.
I hope the AFFers at Melbourne Park have a great time whatever event they attend.
Have so many great memories
…seeing Roger beat Rafa in the 2017 Final
… Lleytons last match
… seeing Rafa win the 2022 final (complete with court invasion by a protester)

As we took our daughter since she was in primary school we now have special times with her (now 30) and SIL

We are going to start of fourth round this year in the middle weekend with them.

What are your special memories from Australian Open?

And new year greetings to you also @MARTINE
Ahh, the AO holds many great memories, often not being able to locate our car in the MCG carpark at the end of a long day with tired Flyfrequently offspring in tow!

I also always went in the last week with a dear friend, sitting in the same seats every year.

In 1994, she had 4 "passes". I couldn't go as I was on duty, so Mr Flyfrequently and offspring went with her.....turned out they were Media passes, great seats, access to press conferences and up close and personal.......

Enjoy !

Nick was a total letdown (expected really with lack of form)

Going to Melbourne now, going to catch week one's action, I think it's better due to the ground passes, and a bunch of stadium games most nights.

Bit of a bucket list thing, pretty excited to go.

There are many things I can say about him, none of it is good. So I shall be polite here....
