I've had a very enjoyable trip to Victoria to take in some of the action from the Australian Open.
As always, the standard of the tennis has been first-class, and the atmosphere courtside has been something special. In particular, I was impressed by a couple of marathon 5-setters I was at involving Sweden's Thomas Johansson and also another Swede Joachim Johansson getting up against Spain's Feliciano Lopez 13-11 in the 5th.
Anyway, here's some pics I took at the Open:
Thomas Johansson warms up:
Thomas prepares to receive (Essendon's Adam McPhee is in the background):
Panoramic shot of Rod Laver arena:
Game set and match Agassi:
The Swedish fans:
Thomas Johansson repairs his racket:
Double-handed backhand:
The fans celebrate Thomas' win:
Joachim serves another thunderbolt:
A change of ends for Joachim, in what would be a marathon match:
A very enjoyable visit and great fun.
