Experience: This is our 2nd time in the Australian Open. For us, this will be among the treasured memories of unforgettable moments of power hitting serves; gutsy moves, excellent shots, close call, the grunt, frustration and joy of the players as they battle it out for the prestigious title. Not to forget those dedicated and quick ball boys and girls, umpire and officials who also put their hearts out in making
this tournament a success.

In our long bucket list is to see the other grand slam tennis tournaments, ie the French Open, US Open and the Championship at Wimbledon. At the moment it is just there as a dream :)
