Australian Open 10

This is our second year of making the trip down to Melbourne for the Australian Open. We had tickets for the Saturday evening and Sunday day (round 4) matches. Megan (federer's #1 fan, she'd happily bump off his missus), was most disappointed that he was playing the Saturday day time, so we agreed to go down on the (really minuscule) off chance that there were some tickets still available for the Saturday day matches. We approached the ticket booth and low and behold, three tickets (must have been refunds just given) were available in some pretty decent seats. here's how happy Megan was to see Fed (and other tennis matches that followed)....

Venus & Federer

We took Steve and Cari to the Saturday night match, expecting some big action as Baghdatis was playing Hewitt (the last match they played on Rod Laver was the 5 hour match, that finished at 4am a couple of years back!). Unfortunately (or perhaps this was because they were just making up for the extra long match last time), it only lasted 35 mins - Baghdatis retiring with injury.

Oh well, we enjoyed some beers and Greek with Steve and Cari to make up for it (lamb souvlakis from Stalactites, mmm).
