The AAMI Classic is a fab men’s tennis tourney that’s held at Kooyong in Melbourne.

Played the week before the Australian Open, it gives eight of the world’s top men players a chance to get warmed up for AO in Melbourne playing conditions; and that could be extreme heat, strong winds, rain disruptions or all of the above!

It’s a fab venue, really easy to get to from the Melbourne CBD by train, tram or taxi (or even ride a bike along the river). The capacity is 9500 and all the seats have a great view.
