[Survivor39]

Anyone else who like Tennis!

I am a big fan of tennis!

Go Andre Agassi and Lindsay Davenport on the forthcoming Australian Open!

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

Yeah I support Lindsay Davenport

Will anyone be going to Melbourne to see it?

 

[jayz]

i find tennis hard to watch, coz it's very tiring just to maintain your serve for 2 sets. i heard the adidas international at homebush tickets r quiet cheap, u guyz going?

 

[~dEjA vOuX~]

I might go. I went to the Australian Open two years ago, and that was really good

 

[.:b-me:.]

adidas intl ROCKS!! y'all should go. its cheap and you can see SO many matches and get autographs and its fun..

 

[...]

haha, i went to White City...(the old adidas international) and saw all the stars like Coorectja, Anna, Hingis, Williams sisters, Graff, Davenport, Varcereo and Hewitt b4 he hit the big time

oh those were the days

 

[jayz]

is anyone here a tennis pro? got some questions on playing the game. how do u hit a double handed backhand? i always 'hook' the shot.

 

[...]

haha..double handed backhand...

umm..hooked the shot??

well that can cause by many factors..ur grip, timing, where u aiming to land the ball, ur follow through...

btw, i often get caught on the first ball

what do u mean get caught on the first ball?

 

[Survivor39]

Yeah I know the Addidas Internation ticket is cheap, but isn't the cheap sits like very far away up the stadium? I mean you are so far up you can't see anything? On the other hand, the front row sits are just as expensive, but i know it's worth it... Just wondering....

And secondly, i know the Australian Open is great, but to watch the tennis there, not only do I have to purchase the ultra-expensive ticket , but i also have to flight there which is quite a lot to afford. Not to mention the hotel, food etc...

So If i am ever going to enjoy a real tennis match, meaning the Semis or the Final, i'll be better off staying in Sydney right? Anyone???

if you buy the tennis magazine in jan i think, it comes with a free ticket (not centre court)

I don't think the tickets themselves are that expensive, but I don't really remember, but yeah, when you factor everything else in, it is quite expensive...

dun go to auystralian open unless u got other plans for melb..cos as stated..not worth it..just go to adidas int.

 

[Survivor39]

So who's going to the Adidas International???

Free Ground pass tickets (for the first few days) are available if you buy a copy of the Australian Tennis magazine.

one more question, can you choose the sits or are they randomly when you purchase them at the front Gate?

 

[...]

umm..

for centre court, i think they are marked
but for others i think its first in, best served

 

[bluesky100]

As I mentioned in another thread - depends on who is playing. I've been to the Aust Open 4 times now. IMO - best bet is to buy Centre Court tickets (you have access to ground pass & CC - but Ground Pass tickets are much cheaper) oh, and arrive early!!! Arrived at approx. 10am one yr and the queue was just ridiculously long!!!

Okay, ticket prices my Mum is saying tickets cost over $100 for 2 adults.

 

[Suney_J]
