As a big tennis fan, I start new topic about the already begun Australian Open! There's something about this particular Grand Slam tournament that makes it special to watch for me:
First of all, it's held in the coldest time of winter in Poland, it's usually snowy and constantly frosty here (no exception right now) while it's always the middle of a hot as hell Australian summer in Melbourne that time. Additional contrast is that most of the matches played at AO are at night, my local time. So when I'm watching the games, there's the funny, big difference between the view from my window (dark, windy and minus something) and what the screen of my notebbok shows (40 degrees Celsius and the players still playing world class tennis in it!), it makes me wanna teleport to Arthur Ashe Arena :-D
Second thing, it's the first great tournament after two months of a pause. I'm really looking forward to it's beginning as every January comes. Already spent most of the night watching tennis, despite the examination session I'm in the middle of right now LOL.
Any other tennis fans here? Or, as far as we have a lot of Australians here, maybe any of you plan to attend a match in Melbourne?
