Aussie Open - "behind the scenes" of Melbourne Park

Every tram leading to the tennis complex on Sunday was full, and since the Melbourne Park is in the very center of the city, the crowds were huge.

The machine operator of this I managed to smuggle was very in the mood - while telling us which side door would open, he told us to look at the opposite and make a short pause.

We expected it to be a warning, but he saved something else.

"People are wowing You", heard through the tram speakers and a laugh, and after arriving at the press center, I decided to show you, apart from the training of Novak Djokovic, how to look inside from one of the four largest tournaments from the inside.

Every day, a daily quiz is organized for us - people from the organization place a question on the bulletin board, usually very crowded, the papers with the answers are placed in the bowl from which a lucky winner comes out at the end of the day.

He houses two bottles of wine, and today he was a British journalist sitting right behind me.

"You little beauty," he shouted when Kyle Edmund made his first career in the quarter-finals of Grend slem, and then continued when he heard his name on the announcement.

"This day is getting better and better," he added.

As with each of the four largest tournaments, the journalists have their own restaurant - the bench is excellent, the choice is pretty good and the conditions are great. Usually, we all try to eat something earlier, since since 17 hours local time there is a marenda (we named it ourselves), where we try to make up for it because the bread is free.

And the players have a place where they eat, there our approach is not allowed, but it is in another place that is intended for them - a hairdresser. In one of the tunnels running from the dressing rooms there is a real hairdressing salon where a man named Arthur works.

Regularly with him all the big tennis stars come, the haircut is not charged, but he has a cooperation with a tournament that we can not yet know.

"I would pay this hairstyle. This is very good," Tanasi Kokinakis said when he got up from the chair.

The same corridor comes down slightly to the Spanish team of Joneks (Yonex), which is an Australian opener official partner. A group of dozens of highly trained technicians daily fulfills the wishes of all players and trainers. The company's premises around the world have more than 1,500 Spanish experts regularly full, minute by minute, "clients" enter and exit carrying rackets.

Here are a few numbers - the Ozi record has 5,460 Spanish rackets, more than 500 pieces are made every day and each must be ready for the match. Neretko is happening and tennis players send spanking rattles during the match, they get priority and return to the field in a record time.

Wide range of complexes, in which there are currently parts and "under construction", are available for entertainment spots, so there is a Disney stand, a place where you can play games, and every year you take care of those young ones.

In the so-called "Ballpark" there are polygons, wire to switch from side to side, rock climbing and many other interesting things. Acting actors entertaining the kids come regularly.

For those who do not want to have fun inside the complex, the organizers have made "AO festival", in a beautiful place by the river Jara. The festival is not frivolous - for example, today the world famous group "Rudimental" performed.

It must be acknowledged that technology this year is not at the top level, security also has the possibility of failure, and the problem of a large number of seagulls solves one name - Orik. When needed, the raw eagle conquer the vaults of the largest stadiums and gardens what organizers do not want to see, but Orik is also a great attraction for the Australian opener.

"Orik is not there to kill other birds, but only to scare them," said Graham Couls, owner of the Wild Bird Center in Australia.

The last in a series of attractions is the official tournament store - you are hitting, crowds are huge, and prices are not so favorable. Every Thursday of the second week, the owners of the accreditation have a discount on the products, so we will see how much is possible to save.
