As the rain halted the second round match between Nick Kyrgios and Dustin Brown just three points in over on Court 2, the first blockbuster clash of the day to get fully underway was Stan Wawrinka and Juan Martin del Potro under the Centre Court roof. And Delpoooooooo won! It was the Argentine’s first top…

The first day of Slams are always hectic but Tuesday was slightly stunted by the rain which arrived at 4.30pm and wiped out play on the outside courts.

Hi everyone, my name is Mitch (@carnesy56 on Twitter) and I wanted to take this opportunity to record some of the experiences I had at the 2016 Australian Open as a staff member and as a patron. I have now worked at four separate Australian Opens, starting from 2012 (I missed 2014) and have really…
Day 1 – March 21, 2016 Within hours of arriving from New York City, I was already standing at the gates of the Miami Open to watch first round action from the men’s and women’s qualifying competitions. Because the qualifying days are some of the most poorly attended of the tournament (though there was not…
