Australian open

Ben racing the Garnier dude on a Segway outside the arena. 
Outside court.  Our 5 day passes allowed us to watch a lot of great tennis on many different courts outside the Rod Laver Arena. 
Men's Doubles, Show Court 3 (Mirnyl & Ram vs. Lopez & Verdasco)

"Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Fight, Fight, Fight!!!"

Celic and Ferrer entering
Bondarenko vs. Radwanska

Ben and Joelle playing some tennis 'Ben style' throwing it back and forth over the net.  We were lucky to have snuck onto a court and were able to play around a bit without getting caught.  It was pretty cool to be on the same court as some of the best players in the world. 
Nowak vs. Dennie:  Taking a break between sets.
