Australian Open 2014 was officially begun 2 days ago. It’s my first time catching the tournament live here and I have to say, it’s been an eye opening experience. I grew up watching it on TV and I’ve been dying to catch the tournament live here for ages but haven’t had the chance. So its a dream come true finally being here watch these tennis stars here in the flesh. Sad to see local favourite Bernard Tomic withdraw through injury after the first set against his much anticipated first round tie with Rafael Nadal, such was the expectation building up to the match. But nevertheless, it was good to see him on court. Apart from that, it was pretty much business as usual for the other players. Defending champions Novak and Victoria, as well as other favourites Roger, Serena, Andy Murray all breeze through their first round ties. I also really admired the way in which how the players handled themselves in this extreme hot conditions. I got a few sunburned myself. Not to mention, managed to get a few autographs and pictures with some of the players as well during autograph sessions around Crown Entertainment Complex, some of which include Maria Sharapova, Li Na, David Ferrer.
