Court Coverage: Court Coverage: Australian Open 2nd Week

Overall, when it comes to the Australian Open, I say Relaxed and Entertaining, whether you're a die hard tennis fan or a casual one. All of the fans here are great; they are enthusiastic about tennis, always in a relaxed and chill mood, and seem to be having fun with the whole event.

I saw SOOO much tennis and live music. It was really cool to see a tournament all the way through to the finals and finally see what everyone means what they say that the Australian Open is the "Happy Slam."

A lot of people are there to represent and cheer on their home country and you often a see fans dressed up in authentic gear from the town and sporting face paint and coordinates outfits.

The grounds are amazing. They have live music everyday and night and the grounds passes seem to always be sold out to locals who come to hang out with their friends in the Heineken Beer Garden and watch the matches on the big screens.

There are several restaurants and Lacoste boutiques, but that is the only tennis gear they carry. AO official items and Lacoste were the only options available for tournament gear. Brands such as Nike and Adidas were not represented here like some other tournaments.

I stayed less than a mile from the tournament and was able to walk there and back every day in no more than 20 minutes. It was a beautiful walk too, up and down the Yarra River. The location of the grounds is so close to the city center and it makes everything very convenient.
