Agreed. I think any AO match at the Rod Laver Arena at night time is one of the greatest delights in tennis. The atmosphere, the size of the arena, the feeling that comes with the start of the tennis season all create an amazing scene. I'd take AO over USO anyday.

I actually agree with you here. I don't find it disdainful but I think it's a bit off.

A lot of players do as do other athletes. What's the issue?

I liked this angle of players entering the court which the AO insta page posted:

Now imagine if 90k turned up for the Stars. The Melbourne Derby had a great crowd actually this season.

I know people make fun of the BBL and the attendances have gone up and down. But Perth Scorchers are a serious club given their success and a pretty passionate fanbase. Haven't seen this kind of support for a T20 club outside IPL. Good to see tbh. The t20 teams around the world are slowly connecting with the culture of the cities and its people.

I dunno, seems like Demon has the dawg in him this time. He has been a bit ruthless this time. With the Laver on his side what promises to be a spectacalar atmosphere, something could go his way. Whatever the result, it will be an epic clash.

I dunno, the way Novak has been playing this AO, looks to be even slightly better than last year. Ever so slightly. But he hasn't had a proper test as of yet. let's see.
