Australian Open

I have had the best few months working at Tennis Australia - it means you get to spend half of the day watching or reading about tennis and still be doing your work!

Qualies was great, everyone thought I was crazy going out to watch the unknown (to them) tennis players. But I don't believe you've been to watch a slam until you have watched it all the way through from the start. The ones that go for the final rounds are just the glory chasers.

During the tournament I was on the afternoon/night shift, so I wasn't starting work until 3pm most days, leaving me the whole of the morning free to go and watch tennis. And believe me when I say that I took full advantage of it - I sat on every court, watched so many matches, used my free meal credit to buy lunch, and had such a good time.

Dan joined me for the second round on Wednesday, and then for the women's semi-finals to watch Serena and Jo Konta play. 

And now I can finally say that I have been to all four grand slams!
