It's great to see some live footage at Melbourne Park. Looks like a good crowd there to watch the qualifiers. High quality match - both players look like they have what it takes to make the main draw. It's great you can conduct a live commentary during their match. Can't wait to experience the action next week! 🎾🇦🇺🩵💙🖤
G'day @tennisfancaz22 - how are you? Thanks again for encouraging feedback - quick note to say thanks, got your insightful, handy info. On-site this week filming, then editing etc. btw - was very surprised and disappointed to see Melbourne Park precint....how AO has secluded so much public space behind massive building-site hoardings. To me - looks very ominous and far from friendly, welcoming envrionment and atmosphere Melbourne should be showing our domestic and international visitors. Interested in your thoughts. Am I over-reacting? re: commentary - if I can muscle up any bravado, will try to hold up some AO2025 fans making their way on foot along the yarra for podcast-type audio sound bites. Not sure if will be practical investment of time so we'll see. Some new 'behind-the-scene' footage coming also. Thanks - as always appreciate your contributions. Keep 'em comin' please... AOLife
@thisaustralianopenlife Hello again .. I'm well thanks. I've been working a lot lately, and that combined with the heat has me a little tired - but never too tired for the tennis! Oh, that's interesting about your opinion of how the AO is set up this year. Having attended each year for the past 12 years, I've noticed it changes each year, but usually for the better! I wasn't too keen on the graffiti wall look they adopted a few years ago, but normally I like what they do. I'll definitely check it out and see what I think, and let you know if course 😃 It's not good if they're blocking or restricting access to clear walkways as it gets so crowded there - easy flowing pedestrian walkways are a must! Most of their changes have been positive, but now and then they miss the mark! That's a great idea to interview the fans. I'm sure it would be easier the more you do it. Just say you have a tennis channel on RUclips and are garnering live footage. Simple questions such as who they'd like to see win the trophy and whether they're Melburnians or travelled from afar to be there. There are many overseas visitors that come for the Open, especially from the US I think. Keep up the great work. I'm glad you're not sick of my comments yet - I'll keep them coming 😅😂
