So, I thoroughly enjoyed my first day at the Medibank International, even though we were nearly rained out! The seats I had were amazing and were right on the baseline courtside!
We certainly had two very different matches! Tranny Big Jugs just squeaked past French player Aravane Rezai, who actually served for the match while she was up a set and 5-2 but choked it away. T.B.J then came back to life and was mostly in control of the third set!
The 2nd womens SF was a complete debacle, with Elena Dementieva (The Ro’s new g/f…..well in his daydreams anyway!) absolutely steamrolled Viktoria Azarenka 6-3 6-1!
Then the really bad news hit! Lleyton Hewitt was up next in a mens QF match against Marcos Baghdatis. The former world No.1 met his counterpunching match in the Cypriot, who rallied from a set and a break down to advance to the semi-finals with a 4-6 6-2 6-3 win.
So all in all a gorgeous day, good food, good beer, great tennis. Tonight?……..Womens Finals!
Enjoy the photos I took! This is how close I was to the players!

Former world number one Justine Henin’s comeback gathered pace on Wednesday with a hard fought 6-4, 6-3 win over Sesil Karatantcheva in the second round of the Brisbane International.
Henin remains on track to meet fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters in the women’s final but she will need to lift several notches if she is to trouble the reigning US Open champion.
After downing second seed Nadia Petrova in the first round, Henin was expected to crush the colourful qualifier from Kazakhstan, via Bulgaria. However she struggled initially and found it hard to quell the challenge of a determined and aggressive Karatantcheva.
Henin was forced to fight back from early breaks in both sets and despite the Belgian being in control for most of the match, Karatantcheva always seemed in with a chance.
Henin explained that she was simply rusty after being away from the game for 20 months.
“It was a night game so we had different conditions (from the first round),” she said.
“Playing in the evening, waiting all day long, I’m not used to that so it took me a few games to get into the match.
“I wasn’t aggressive enough, but it’s a question of rhythm and being used to playing these types of matches.”
Looks like a Henin-Clijsters final could be heading our way!

Her bad luck with tournament draws may have continued, but Jelena ‘Jellybean’ Dokic could only see good fortune ahead after being knocked out of the Brisbane International on Monday by adopted Australian Ana Ivanovic.
Dokic, 26, was hardly blowing up after the 7-5 1-6 6-3 loss to the Serbian third seed, even drawing comparisons with the lead-up to her golden run at the 2009 Australian Open.
All was forgiven for Dokic despite her tumultuous early years in Australia when she became the darling of Melbourne Park last year, taking her wildcard all the way to the grand slam’s quarter-finals.
Dokic was bundled out in the 2009 Brisbane International first round by French powerhouse Amelie Mauresmo.
“It was also disappointing to lose to Mauresmo last year – I had my chances in that match as well. It was a little bit similar to today,” Dokic said.
Jellybean had her chances but the Australian Open is only 2 weeks away, and I predict her to go deep in the draw again this year!

I think I might even be able to get The Ro interested in this AWESOME group from Australia!
Art vs Science were formed last year by friends Dan McNamee and Dan Williams, they later recruited bass player and keyboardist Jim Finn to complete the trio.
Their self titled EP has just re-entered the ARIA Charts Top 10 and this track is my fave from the ep and has a great video clip!

The time away from tennis has helped Justine Henin “grow up” as an individual and the former world number one is confident she is returning to the tour a better player.
Seven-times grand slam champion Henin announced her comeback to the women’s tour in September after a 15-month absence and the Belgian will kick off her preparation for the Australian Open at next month’s Brisbane International.
“I believe I can be a better player, I believe I can use my experience more than in the past,” she told the Brisbane event’s website (brisbaneinternational.com.au).
“It’s been a great experience to go out of the tennis world for 18 months and to come back because I feel I grew up.
“I really needed to come out of this bubble. The tennis world is a small world. There are so many things around that and I never realised that before.
“To come back to my passion, to what I love so much, after this part of my life is such a great feeling.
“I’m 27, now I just want to live my second career differently to how I did in the past.”
Henin won 41 WTA Tour titles and over $19 million in career prize money before quitting professional tennis.
The 2004 Australian Open champion is a wildcard in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne before the season’s first grand slam.
“When you are into (playing tennis at) 200 percent you have no time to realise it.
“You are too involved all the time and all this time off helped me to realise everything I achieved.
“What I can say is I know myself much better and that’s the most important thing.”
“Of course I will need some time to be 100 percent to be the level I was when I stopped my career but I’m ready to live anything here.”
Can’t wait to see you play when I am Down Under Justine! Allez!

Still absolutely LOVE this track!

Pop Punk band ‘Short stack’ have jumped straight to the top of the ARIA charts this week with their new single ‘Sweet December’. They displaced Australian Idol winner Stan Walker from the top spot, his debut single ‘Black Box’ dropped to the No. 2 spot.
In more good news for homegrown music, the debut singer from this season’s Australian Idol runner up and rock chick extraordinaire, Hayley Warner, jumped straight in to the No. 3 spot so it’s an all Aussie Christmas at the top of the charts!
The other surprising move was Vanessa Amorosi’s track ‘This Is Who I Am’ making a HUGE leap back into the Top 10 from No. 22 to No.6!
