It is such a big place with so many tennis stadiums and courts. The day before was relatively quiet - only staffs were allowed to enter the site. We thought we could see some players practice in advance, unfortunately they did but it was not open to the public 😞. Anyway, we did not give up and finally saw some players practicing... only from afar though, from a bridge high above 😄. Not sure who we saw though. Did not bring telescopes with us. But we had a good time that day - scouting, taking photos, having a glimpse of what's to come, and ... having a light dinner there with some unnamed players. 😄 So the Australian Open begins ... As they put it: ***Your Story Starts Here.*** 🎾💪😊 ![PXL_20230115_082542177.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deanliu/23xyT5JBHExsp5KqvMNJu9H15V3WcXfukY3dcyqsNg8b72UQsD4xSowCxEGo927Tenwgp.jpg) 我們在澳網開始前一天抵達墨爾本✈️，而且中午就到了。下午就趕忙衝到會場，墨爾本公園，去瞧瞧端倪，順便想捕獲野生XXX😂，幻想可以要個簽名之類的，哈哈。到了之後發現，哇！這個場地真是大，以網球為主題的場館跟場地不計其數，空間很開闊，更別說其實這公園還有其他非網球的設施呢~~~ 可惜，場地原來不對外開放，我們只能沿著外圍看看，但還是看到跟感受了不少，對於培養參加澳網的情緒非常有幫助... 越來越期待了... 不過，最後我們沿著場地走，還是聽到有人在練習，於是走上一個高架橋，發現可以看到一些人在練球，可惜沒帶望遠鏡，看不出來是誰（其實認識的也很有限😂），但還是很興奮地看，這些就是世界一流的網球員們呢！最後，在天橋的座位上，在寒風中💨，我們把買來的Kebab捲給吃了當作晚餐，雖然冷又累，但不妨礙我們高漲的熱情... 澳網就要從這裡開始囉！衝啊！🎾💪😊 ![PXL_20230115_082821458.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deanliu/23wC5hBtfDpQp7CeJEVGZ7jCan2ffJazNdBuMV1cFUNWYHt6takwbsug6FZerm8QuF8Sk.jpg) ![PXL_20230115_083422922.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deanliu/241tLHtdYeCkjEWrJVfnvPcSWnBff2baV5x7GBZCoYKjvF43NvgQxHMu9nhqAfqKfZGZz.jpg) ![PXL_20230115_084536301.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deanliu/23zRtoEw3124ra7cf26xy1tSqeFcRngPSwmZRBXiSbF2ctvkeKrFCEw5h8WEpuTWhTz6G.jpg) ![PXL_20230115_085057479.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deanliu/23xVCzYa1pMqkwrF4Qm2838rEBdMkSU9ch9dS7qY3g19bDmy6pMkGsiF7Mgun6SPNygs2.jpg) ![PXL_20230115_085042143.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deanliu/241tUgfpzZKFetqXGAc4uhrqt5SXH5M67KiiTEcqjhG6ShvK1kmw1k2xfk6JU35JGz857.jpg) ![PXL_20230115_084559867.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/deanliu/23yTctrTr8fhXvszCS3y39JoC7ow8GH8Ar2H3gJAerCuCP9Y9vnAnq6CKRzXYnug197w5.jpg)
