The highlight of the first match I went to was that I tried the official drink of the Australian Open which is an Aperol Spritz. I honestly don't remember anything else about this match at all. From the photo I can tell it was a doubles match, but that's about it. My take on the drink? It's just ok.
The real excitement of the day came when Olli scored me a ticket for the Djokovic match. I was on cloud nine because Djokovic is my favorite men's player and because I had no idea how far he'd go in the tournament, which meant that I didn't know if I'd get to see him play again. I was lucky enough to get to see him play a total of FOUR times throughout the two weeks. Even saying it now I get butterflies in my stomach. The seats for this match were the best I had to watch him by far. These first two videos are a little repetitive because they were the same sentiment, but I sent them to different people. I included them both because you can see how excited and appreciative I was to be there.
During the match I sat next to a really nice couple who were personal guests of Djokovic and his team. They told me about how they used to own a Greek restaurant that was a favorite spot of players during the tournament because they were accommodating to the players and restricted access to them while they were there. The woman and I chatted a lot during the match and she was super sweet. She was the person who gave me the recommendation to check out the pedestrian mall with all the Greek restaurants and shops that I mentioned before.
