I was about to ask if you were going this year. I can't wait for the new year and the Aussie Open.
@Toups would know about posting a live video from FB. I actually think you can just post a link to your video on here and posters can just click on that link.
Thanks for that,
There was a great write up in today’s paper but having a little trouble linking it. May have to wait until I get back to work on Tueday.

Does anyone know how to post a FB live video here.
I have a three day ground pass for the Aussie Open and may go live on Facebook.

For anyone who cares, former U.S. Open champion Sam Stosur has a stress fracture in her right hand and is out of the U.S. Open.
As an Australian, I for one don't care.

Speaking of Goolagong, I see that there is a petition going around to rename MCA after Goolagong. I love this idea! Goolagong may not have the load of titles but she was a trailblazer in many ways and has continued to do outreach to indigenous and marginalized people to this day!
Sometimes when you are taking measure of an athlete, you have to consider impact and not just the amount of big titles and on court wins before making an endowment of such magnitude as naming an entire arena after someone.
Clijsters won at least one major title, U.S. Open, after returning from maternity leave/retirement. She was also in her twenties. If anyone can defy the odds, it would be Serena.
I think she also win the Australian open as well.

I hope that Serena Williams does come back and smashes Margaret Court's grand slam record.
And I hope Tennis Australia changes the name of the arena.
I for one will boycott it until they do.

When was the last time that the No 1 seed in both men's and woman's and the No 2 in either the men's or women's' draw in a grand slam event didn't make the quarter finals?

LMAO at Jim Courier picking Jack Sock to beat Tsonga. I just love how they continue to pimp these loser players. Jack is losing of course....LOL and one of the linesman reported him for verbal abuse which then he gave him a dirty look to hit a ball towards him and getting a code warning then it lead to more looks and then challenging a call from the linesman that reported him ...to the ball clearly being out that he hit....LOL. Jack Sock and Jim Courier are a hot mess...LOL
lol I thought it said Jack Sook for a moment there.

This may hit your news feeds, as it happened in a popular shopping area, especially with the tourists in town.
The chase apparently started where people would either catch a tram or walk to the tennis.

Well it seems that Melbourne's weather is a little shell shocked as well with Djokovic's lose.
It it has been raining all night and is still raining now.
At least there will be play on three courts.

I don't think that I have ever seen some one be so upset on winning a grand slam lol.
Williams wins 6-3 7-6

Serena is not looking good at all, I don't mean tennis wise but health wise.
A lady at work has got a cough that is similar and she has had it for the last couple of weeks and is finding hard to shake.

This article was in one of our Saturday papers. Sounds like it is going to be good.
SPORTS fans will be able to trade tennis for a pool party as the Australian Open pushes new ground for fan engagement next month.
A wading pool in a new, three-storey “Melbourne Beach Club” will be the coolest place at Melbourne Park as the sun beats down on the two-week tournament.
AUSTRALIAN OPEN TENNIS 2018: FANS GET TWO SPORTS IN ONE IN NEW DEAL
KOOYONG ORGANISERS TRYING TO LURE SERENA WILLIAMS
Fans will dip in a pool backed by a digital wall screening beach images in another Grand Slam first served up by the popular Melbourne event.
A sandy dance floor in an expanded beer garden will be free with a ground pass.
And “Tokyo Alley’’ — a Japan-inspired zone featuring a karaoke bar, video games and Asian food — will add another dimension to an event increasingly focused on more than just the best tennis.
Australian Open director Craig Tiley said the new attractions went “the extra mile’’ to try to make the tournament the most engaging event of the summer calendar.
“We pride ourselves on being the most fan-friendly event and are constantly striving to give everyone more and more reasons to be here,’’ he said. “When you add in the world-class tennis and music, there really is no better place to be this summer than the Australian Open.’’
In a tribute to the other three grand slams — Wimbledon, the US and French Opens — fan zones with London, Paris and New York themes will be expanded on-site.
A double-decker bus and a fish-and-chips shop will take centre stage in a “London Rocks’’ area on Grand Slam Oval. Southern barbecue will be served at “Highway USA’’.
The Paris Quarter includes a bakery offering fresh French pastries and champagne.
An Aussie wine bar will have deck chairs, beach umbrellas and cabanas for fans watching the likes of Roger Federer, Serena Williams and Nick Kyrgios on big screens.
The Australian Open will be staged from January 15-28.
