Chapter 807 Happy Slam

The Australian Open is the first event held every year among the four Grand Slams. Every January, Melbourne Park can attract more than 600,000 spectators coming in and out, and maybe even more. The curtain of the annual tennis tournament.

The residents of the largest island in the Pacific Ocean in the southern hemisphere also welcomed distinguished guests from all over the world with open arms in the most enthusiastic, sincere, publicized and wanton manner.

The Australian Open, known as the "Happy Grand Slam (Happy-, allows every contestant, audience, and participant to enjoy a relaxed and happy atmosphere, which has become the most prominent label of this event.

In fact, the nickname came not from the idea of ​​the tournament organizers themselves, but from Federer.

In 2010, Federer won the Australian Open for the fourth time. In an interview, the Swiss tennis king readily said that this is the "Happy Grand Slam", because the audience, the staff, and the atmosphere of watching the game here are all the same. It's about being enjoyable and being able to really enjoy the game.

Later, the organizers of the event gradually carried forward this point, and it became a bright spot for the Australian Open to stand out among the four Grand Slam events.

For the players, the Australian Open is indeed caring and sincere.

The event has prepared a series of benefits for the players. For example, when players achieve career milestones, they will send cakes and champagne.

For example, each player can get a travel fund of 2,500 Australian dollars to support the players to pay all the expenses in Melbourne during the entire game, as well as accommodation subsidies and free transportation.

For example, after each game is won, players can also get the opportunity to thread five rackets for free, including qualifying players and all doubles players, which is a good benefit for those low-ranking players.

For example, it is equipped with a gift package around the Australian Open and free sightseeing tickets for famous local attractions in Melbourne to ensure that players and their families can enjoy every day of participating here.

Of course, if you ask the players themselves, what is the most satisfying benefit of the Australian Open?

I believe that "food" should be at the top of the questionnaire.

In the professional tour, each event will set a daily maximum limit for food and beverages. For example, the US Open, the daily maximum limit is 50 US dollars, and the part that exceeds the limit needs to be paid out of pocket; Each player can enjoy as much food as he likes.

It is no exaggeration to say that the food in the player restaurant of the Australian Open is even better than the famous restaurants outside.

Perhaps, for some fans, they may say that these benefits are just drizzle, look at those football or basketball bigwigs, that is the real "trench".

But, don't get me wrong, these benefits are for every Australian Open player, covering both singles and doubles:

For those top players, it may not be a big deal; for those ordinary players, these details are very practical and thoughtful, and the average welfare subsidy for each person can reach about 5,000 Australian dollars.

Not only that, but as the most grand sporting event in Australia, the influence of the Australian Open even surpasses the popularity of cricket and rugby in the local area. From the caddies to the staff, they are very warm and friendly. You can feel this event inside and out. A warm welcome from the heart.

"Happy Grand Slam" is worthy of the name.

However, Jiang Yanyun has different concerns—

weather.

"...The weather here is not only hot, but also humid and very stuffy. If you play at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the temperature on the ground of the court can soar to over 40 degrees."

"We are going to suffer from heat stroke sitting in the spectator stands watching the game, let alone the players?"

"The test of the game may not be that simple."

Jiang Yanyun keenly captured the biggest feature of the Australian Open:

Hot and humid.

Tennis events are mainly held outdoors, so most events are concentrated in summer, and hot weather is a test that all players need to face.

But Melbourne is different. It is hot and humid. This is a major feature. Among the four Grand Slams, the weather test of the Australian Open is the most severe and plays an important role.

The biggest impact of "humidity and heat" is that it is easy to lack water. After lack of water, it is not only easy to suffer from heatstroke, but also prone to cramps, muscle soreness will be more obvious, and the body will feel heavy. Accompanying it is the speed of movement, the strength of kicking the ground, etc. May be affected.

August in New York is also hot, but compared with Melbourne, it is nothing, and the overall feeling is not on the same level at all.

In the past period of time, Gao Hongli and Jiang Yanyun walked from the villa to Melbourne Park every day, walking all the way without choosing a vehicle.

On the one hand, it is to exercise and experience life. Anyway, it takes about 25 minutes to walk; on the other hand, it is to really feel the city of Melbourne.

Then, they noticed the weather here, especially at two or three in the afternoon, the scorching sun almost scorched the skin, which was definitely a severe test.

Gao Hongli was not too worried, "Peter and Andre are experienced veterans. They both know that Xiao Wu has never experienced such weather before. They must have prepared in advance. I see the training schedule for these two days. It was adjusted according to the game time."

Jiang Yanyun's worries eased a little, "I saw Xiao Wu's training, sweating is like a waterfall, and the replenishment of water and energy seems to be very particular..."

In the middle of speaking, Jiang Yanyun stopped himself, showed a smile, and waved his hand to say hello, "Andre."

Oncoming, it is Agassi and Graf.

According to the contract, Agassi did not need to accompany Gao Wen to travel around the world, so after the winter training, Agassi went home to accompany his family.

If everything goes well, after the Australian Open is over, before going to Dubai to compete, Gao Wen will train for a period of time, and Agassi will meet them in Los Angeles.

But Agassi was still a little worried.

In any case, the Australian Open is the first Grand Slam after their cooperation. He still wants to watch the game live. Anyway, the last time at the US Open, the media reporters are already familiar with the appearance of Agassi and Sampras together. The scenery in the player's box, this time there should be no fuss.

Graf is very supportive of Agassi's decision.

Not only that~lightnovelpub.net~ Graf also brought the children to Melbourne with Andre Agassi to enjoy a short vacation in the southern hemisphere summer.

"Hey, Hongli, Yanyun, are your husband and wife going for a walk together?" Graf took the initiative to say hello, very enthusiastically.

Agassi was quiet and shy when Graf was around, always giving the conversation to his wife.

Moreover, Graf is also very good at it.

No, in just a few days, Graf has been able to accurately pronounce the two Chinese names. Although the tone is still not so standard, there is no problem during the conversation, and she can know exactly what she said. who.

"Yes, I stay in the air-conditioned room every day, and I still want to come out to bask in the sun, otherwise I will stay at home." Gao Hongli replied with a smile, "We were just saying that the weather here is too hot, and the players should It's a test."

Graf showed an approving expression, "Yes, that's..."

But before the words could continue, they were surrounded by a group of people in a blink of an eye.

reporter.
