Recipe: Mint Condition
Mint Condition
No matter how much you love or hate tennis, you’ve got no chance of missing The Australian Open. For an entire two-weeks annually, the city gets hijacked. Even if you’re a real hater, there’s no way of successfully tuning out to that amount of fluoro or grunting.
I’ve never been a tennis fan. I went to The Australian Open once on corporate tickets and cant say it did much to excite me. But it is one of Melbourne’s most important sporting events and even I watch a match or two during the finals.
