Australian Open Weekend Part II


When we were in the city on Sunday, we popped our head in to check out the availability for Australian Open tickets. (Another thing you will learn about Australia, you have to do a lot of things in person. Even though they have the internet Down Under, it's rarely used to make our lives easier.) Anyway, all the evening sessions for the final week on the main court were sold out - big surprise. We bought tickets for the Monday day session in the 3rd from last row hoping for the best.


When the schedule was released later Sunday evening, we were PLEASANTLY surprised. The day at Rod Laver Arena would start off with Ana Ivanovic, followed by Venus Williams, and finished off by the #1 seed Roger Federer. Add James Blake and a Venus/Serena doubles match on the outside courts and we were set. With all the Aussie's clamouring over their own Hewitt's match later in the night, the Open was buzzing with great tennis.


All the favorites won, and we had a great time. Our seats were great - I don't imagine there is a bad seat in that arena. Check out the new slide show to the left of pics from the day.
