There are four tennis grand slams that happen on the calendar in any one year and one of
them just happens to be five minutes from where I live here in Melbourne.
Now i'll be honest with you I'm not much of a tennis fan but i thought
in the spirit of curiosity in 2022 being my year of adventure and getting out and
doing more things i thought i'd come down and watch the Australian open i also thought it
was an opportunity to share a video with you on this channel that doesn't specifically involve
airplanes so saying that how come you spotted them first you were
oh yeah
of course the best thing about the australian open is the air display
if you're unfamiliar with australian air displays these are the rwaf the
royal australian air force roulettes pc21s
they blocked out the whole airspace up to about
3000 feet for the next 20 minutes and they're just doing this free display
over the top of the city and there's loads of people here look how many people are turned up
nice to meet you nice to meet you too do you guys want to help me with the video yeah just
need some something more interesting than just me what do you think of the display
oh amazing i loved it yeah yeah i like watching the room yeah i didn't take any
videos i'm looking for your video oh you can watch this one i actually come from geelong
so it was a long way to come yeah it was fantastic yeah they're a good display team
the roulettes aren't they and it's really nice to get this for free just over here in the city
see look i just checked it's 35 degrees outside at the moment there's this area here in the middle of
the australian open where everybody can see they've got deck chairs out for everybody
but it's in the middle of the like the midday sun look look who's the only person who's there
now that's what i call a hardcore tennis fan
see we've got ground pass tickets here at the
australian open which means that you can basically get access to
almost everywhere apart from rod laver arena and the big arenas in the middle but in the
back courts you actually get some really good action we've been watching the wheelchair tennis
also there's a competition starting here in the next couple of days for
people with intellectual impairments and the blind tennis players we saw pat rafter
thank you guys very much for making our job
but it's also getting super duper hot here as well and the wind's picking up he's moving the
camera around i think at the moment i think it's like 35 36 degrees celsius right now
i don't want to be that melbourne person who just complains about the one day of the year
when it's actually above 30 degrees celsius i think we need to find somewhere to shelter
what was the temperature 36. it's now 36 degrees outside so we've actually cheated a little bit and
come inside the marriott bon voy hospitality area just to hydrate again and get some cakes
so we think we may have spotted someone that we know
or at least that i know jack knows a lot more about tennis plays than i do but someone
who might just be warming up for their next game big game tomorrow
it's ash bharti that's australia's number one tennis player irrespective male or female just
the best tennis player that australia has right now ranked number one in the world
as well going for her first australian open this year hopefully fingers crossed
have a look down here and see if you can have a guess
which motor vehicle company the australian open is sponsored by it there must be like 30 killers just
lined up here waiting to take all the players home or the officials home that is a lot of keyer cars
andrew's christmas present merry christmas andrew thank you we've booked tickets to
the penfolds bistro restaurant they do pop-up restaurants down here all their
big melbourne restaurants have got little pop-ups uh rock halls here pan folds is here
guy grocery is here other people are here so you can have restaurant meals here before you go into
the big arenas and watch the tennis matches in the evening so that's what we've decided
to do as well thank you so much it actually looks really good though it does look good
ladies and gentlemen emirates welcomes one world prepare to witness some incredible moments in
tennis at the broadway arena today's players are about to enter the stadium
