Hi,
My experience at the Australian Open 2013 was unforgettable and very memorable. I was asked to be a hitting partner by Maria Sharapova, Janko Tipsarevic and Richard Berankis.
I hit twice with Maria Sharapova and found the crowd whilst very overwhelming, certainly a great experience and was a very exciting time for me.
My match in the Juniors event of the AO did not go as I would have liked, the nerves affected be bad, the doubles went a bit bitter with a win in the first round. With the crowd more afforded to a Main Draw match we thank all the Aussies that turned out and cheered us on with Flags and chants of Oi Oi Oi. I am now of the belief that I need more tennis at that level, and that atmosphere. I have only been use to maybe a single person watching overseas on the Futures circuit ( if one). I’m now back overseas and will return on the 10th February hoping to qualify for the Futures events in Melbourne.
Cheers Blake
