Brisbane International

In January 2009 I developed a new appreciation for tennis. While I was happy to watch bits and pieces on TV, I had never considered going to a live match. But my Mum had wanted to go to Melbourne for the Australian Open for years. I bought her and I tickets as a birthday present in 2008 and so in January 2009 we headed off to Melbourne. And so began my love affair with tennis!!

Mum and I went back to the Australian Open in 2010 and have bought our tickets for the 2011 Aus Open... But I've never actually been to the Brisbane International... You know, the tournament that is actually held in my home town!

So today, I changed that!



My beautiful friend Sian and I both experienced our first time at the Brisbane International. In fact, it was Sian's first live tennis experience. We had such an awesome day on Pat Rafter Arena. We saw three Aussies, the highlight of which was Sam Stosur.

Sian was also really keen on having a photo with Mr Ball Man (as she liked to call him)... I really didn't want to but Sian made me!

All in all we had a great day and it definitely wet my appetite for when Mum and I go out for the night session on Wednesday!

xx love Breanna
