I reached the Australian Open Tennis area at 9.00am just before the gate open at 9.30 am. I have decided to buy Ground Pass ticket. It cost me AUD 29. Thought of buying Rod Laver Arena ticket, bit expensive though may be next year.
It a nice warm day, predicting 26C today. I would prefer to come early, get back home and come back again later in the evening. 
My first experience coming to the event, pretty good. Had my morning 'tea' in the garden in front of Rod Laver arena. Nice.
A bit upset though, I can't use my 70-300 mm lens. They only allowed lens maximum of 200mm unless if I am a journalist. Hmm. Anyway, fortunately I brought my lens extension, it helps me to take distance picture. 
One of my friend said, If I am lucky I could meet the tennis player while they are practicing. Try to search for one but unsuccessful. 
I have decided to watch a match at Margaret Court Arena.
