Australian Open 2015
Firstly Id like to congratulate the Aussies. 10 through to the second round is a remarkable effort, and something we can be very proud of and from reports might never have happened before.
On the flipside, I think the tennis players would do well to distance themselves from the AFL at the moment. Thanasi Kokkinakis is the "Port Adelaide Football Club Ambassador" and had a quite remarkable victory last night. Apparently has done some pre season training with them as well.
5 sets at aged 18 vs an opponent who is currently ranked 13th in the world (and cracked the top 10 for the first time last year). It was a gutsy win, and showed a lot of character and also speaks for his commitment, determination and preparation.
Let the Tennis do the talking and dont worry about representing interests that are outside of your own youngster! Mud sticks and doesnt come off very easily.
