Australian Open

The tennis is in town at the moment! I remembered the first year I was in Melbourne studying my undergrad and I chose to go home to M'sia the very first week summer break arrived. My Mauritian friend questioned me as to why I wanted to go home for 3 whole months and not enjoy Melbourne more, such as the Australian Open. This has stuck in my mind since then, almost ten years ago. So yesterday, Gaz and I took the train to the Rod Laver Arena to watch the tennis. Here are some pics we took during my tennis experience.

Seeing a crowd of people, we neared the court and saw this player. 'Who is this??' I asked Gaz. He answered me with an incredulous look, 'That's NADAL!'. Oopss.. Nadal, ranked World No. 1 tennis player.. and I didn't recognise him.
 


More of Nadal.
