Happy Leap Year Day! Its nice to be able to say that. Global Chick checked in with us briefly. She was at the OSCARS (when Leo calls....) She was at the Vanity Fair party. She would have been the belle of the ball but Maria sharapova took that honor.
Another day of delayed starts in Melbourne as the rain continued to make its presence felt, but with three roofed courts, (that were mostly planned for hot sun and heat conditions) fans (especially with ground passes to get into Hisense area) were assured of some tennis to start their day.
Drizzle and toast. These are valuable life lessons to learn for a Global Chick in Melbourne. Firstly the drizzle that doesn’t worm into every inch of you like British drizzle.
Rain, vegemite and never trust a coffee machine over a proper Barista. That’s this morning’s life lessons ahead of day three, but lucky for us there are stadium roofs in Australia.
Well the hits just keep on coming don’t they? Hot on the heels of Rafael Nadal’s taxi back to the players’ hotel was World No. 2, second seed and big banana-in-waiting Simona Halep.
While the rest of the world catches up with the daylight play over their cornflakes and some hot buttered toast, there are still a good few hours to get you all caught up on the tail end of Day 1 of the Australian Open.
And we’re off! What a day to start – wall to wall Grand Slam champs as far as the eye could see, beautiful weather to start.

Let’s see. So far we have successfully dodged Trench Foot with the arrival of some much needed sunshine, and despite the walking wounded walking out of here, we had a cracking final to look forward to...
It is safe to say that the tournament breathed a sigh of relief last night as Roger Federer took to the court, and set things back on an even keel in Queensland.
Global Chick here and reporting and still really suffering from the jetlag. It still stalks like a lion who hasn’t had a snack in quite a long while (rather like a good night’s sleep!). The tennis players feel it too.
So jetlag is losing, but the weather is winning as continuous wet stuff leaked from the skies in the morning and with it a slew of bad news all round for the WTA.
The Sunshine State was cloudy today as the Brisbane draw rumbled forward on all fronts, but there was no shortage of star quality out and about.
Dear Santa, You probably remember me writing last year and asking you to keep both Serena Williams and Roger Federer playing on the tour. Boy, did you and Rudolph ever deliver.
Global Chick here, and racing to spend the remnants of Christmas shopping (well, getting swept in and out of random shops by the money-spending hoards on Oxford Street) but instead, I sit idly by watching planes take off and leave...
