ISN’T it great to see tennis back on our television screens!

Remember those hot summer nights watching the tennis till the early hours of the morning; watching every hard hitting ace and every ‘c’mon’ that Lleyton Hewitt would yell; riding every bump with Jelena Dokic or hoping a young Bernard Tomic or a more experienced Alicia Molik surprise.

There’s so much Aussies love about tennis.

While cricket is our national savior – as we crush the majority of the opposition – tennis we are up against it.

There are only a couple of Aussies that are capable of taking out the Australian Open but the interest is still widely significant in the race to the finals.

We look in awe at the men such as Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and can’t believe the power of the Williams sisters – Serena and Venus.

Going to the tennis is a great experience also rather than just watching it on the box.

Sitting in Rod Laver Arena is a unique experience; as is sitting on the outside courts in the sun. There’s the tension involved with the players, the colour of the crowd and the voices of different cultures surrounding you.

Head to Melbourne Park from January 18 for a massive two weeks of tennis.
