It came and went so quickly, a lovely weekend in Melbourne visiting friends, poking around town, and best of all, going to the Australian Open!
Going to the Open for Debbie is like Whit going to the National Championship Game (only when UT is playing, ofcourse). So you can imagine our excitement about seeing 2 night matches in Rod Laver Arena last Sat. night. with great seat (thanks Uncle Bain!)
We saw 2 Aussies play, both losing. The highlight was seeing Nadal. Debbie lost count with the number of proposals that were yelled out to him in between serves (none from her, thank you!). Whit observed how quiet, almost library like, it is during play. We both liked clapping in a steady beat with the crowd when challenges were made. The weather was quite pleasant and we had a great time!

Nadal, post match
The Australian Open billboard seen through out the city. The "Fed Express" looks a bit violent, eh?
Rod Laver Arena- so many times we have ran past it along the river. Today is the day we make it inside!
Look who's playing tonight!
Let the match begin! 
Nadal vs. Tomic
We love the blue courts!
Our great seats- only 13 rows up!
More tennis the next day, in Federation Square this time
