don't sneeze on match point

A few readers may remember this post many months ago when I got my Australian Open tickets. Well earlier this week I made use of one of them, and I had such a blast ...despite it being insanely hot (at least 35*C+), and me still fighting some sniffles. My biggest fear was if I accidentally sneezed or coughed during match point! (Thank goodness that never happened). The heat was close to unbearable, so tree shades and water fountains became my best friend. I'm not one of those people who's comfortable wearing a tank top and little shorts in hot weather, so it was a light pastel top and skirt for me. Perhaps I should've worn blue to match the court? naah...

I have become a tennis fan (nerd! hah) within the past year, so going to my first Grand Slam, and seeing loads of big-name tennis stars within meters away was beyond exciting! Highlights included hearing the french player, Alize Cornet, yell "oooh la la!"during her game (french people really do say that!) , and getting Andy Murray to sign my program.. who looks far better in person, not the grumpy sod he appears to be in the media.
Totally worth the slight sun burn in the end. Will definitely be slapping on a lot more sunscreen next time I go (tomorrow!).
