1. Best matches are often played on the side courts.
2. There are many umpires who calling "lets" or "nets" instead of let.
3. Australian open has 3 primary courtes - Rod Laver, Margaret Court and HiSense.The last one has free entry if you have a grounds ticket.
4. Best place in Margaret Court to get a tan is to get tickets for gates 1 to 4 and 20. All day the sun shines brightly on you. For those not used to the sun, do not get these seats - you will roast.
5. The seats to avoid for the Rod Laver Arena are the mid to lower sections of Gates 11 to 16. Unrelenting sun will greet you till 8 pm.
6. There are retractable covers over the players seats that protect them from the sun between points.
7. Court 7 has the best and most shaded seats.
8. Almost all players will take 3 balls between plays and select two to keep. Wonder how they decide or is it a trigger?
9. There are lots of water fountains around the property - thank god. You can refill water instead of paying an arm and a leg each time and because of the heat water consumption goes up.
10. Legends tennis esp. the men's tournament is a lot of fun because of the trick shots and the antics of some of the players esp. Goran Ivanisevic and Mansoor Bahrami.
