Melbourne Open preparation

In preparation to Melbourne open, it has been the tradition to compete at Sydney International and Brisbane International. But for 2011, Tennis Australia is considering Alice Spring International.

Sources close to the federation have confirmed this speculation that has been going around for the last couple of weeks. It is an attempt to bring Tennis from capital cities to the less tennis-developed areas.

There is a genuine concern for the health of players with temperatures reaching high 30’s and 40’s and the quality of the court, but it is believed that high heath will only improve the preparation for Melbourne Open.
