A few days ago I was lucky enough to get a ticket for the Australian Open and was able to go see Andy Murray's first game. Obviously, being a fellow Scot, I was extremely excited to see him play and sing a round of 'O Flower of Scotland!'.
We arrived around 11:30 and headed straight to the face painting tent where Kirsty and Michelle got Scottish flags on their faces with Murray written underneath. After that we'd already melting so heading into the arena for a bite to eat and to enjoy the air conditioning! We ate some lunch, stocked up on drinks and headed out to watch the Tsonga match.
Our seats were amazing and as we went to sit down we realised we were sitting next to two other Scottish guys- one was dedicated enough to be in a kilt!!
Tsonga won his match and leaped around a bit so we felt able to leave and sit in the air conditioning. Again, we stocked up on more drinks and waited for the Murray match.
The match was SO good and although it didn't last long with Murray winning in 3 sets (c'mon Murray!!!!) it was long enough as we were now sat directly in the sun and the temperature had raised to 43 degrees!
I had never sweated so much in all my life but would do it again in a heart beat as the atmosphere was amazing and we just all had such a good time there.
