Andy Murray hires extras to make his practice session more fun

Ever since Andy Murray has signed a deal with Simon Fuller's 19 Entertainment, we have seen a tremendous change in his image, from a skinny tennis player on a bad hair day into a tennis star who is more fun, buffed up and a favourite player that now share the limelight with the Top 3.

He shows off more skin and cheesy smile too and even impersonates the Incredible Hulk.

And in today's practice, he even have some extras to pose with him in photos, something that other players don't offer, yet.

Andy, I wonder what's next? I can't wait.

After his training session, the Aussie fans took the opportunity to get his autographs and photos.

Updates:
Actually these guys are from Kia Fan Photos. You can submit your best shots at AO to them.

Rafael Nadal says 'G-Day mate' to Aussie fans

Rafael Nadal reached out to his fans here by launching a blog at the Australian Open, taking questions on everything from what motivates him to whether he has sex during a tournament.
Hi everyone, or should I say "g'day mate"? I have been told that this is the way Australians say "hello", so I wanted to also say it like this.

This is my first blog in Australia and I am very thankful to this newspaper to have given me this opportunity.

I have done a few blogs at other places like Paris, London and New York, but this is my first one in Melbourne.

I am not going to lie to you, this is not easy for me since I am not a writer.

Not even close. But I know I have a lot of fans here and when I was asked I was very happy to do it and I hope you forgive my mistakes - my bad English, my non-professional way of writing.

I also hope that the media doesn't get upset with me for doing this. Why should they? I only say things that they would never write about! Right? :-)

I am back here in Melbourne and I have to say that I love being here.

You know, coming from the cold weather to this beautiful summer, with all these nice people around and also to play the first big event of the season, is something that makes me happy.

Those following me know that I love the competition. And the real competition starts here.

I have to say that I am excited.

I hope we will have a lot of time these weeks to talk about many things. Hopefully I'll be around for a few days.

After my fifth or sixth blog I start thinking what am I going to write about - but I am also answering your questions, so come on and send me easy ones.

Many thanks and ... 'Good on you mate' (that's another one I know :-)

Australian Open: Some off court photos you might have missed

Here's a couple of priceless photos of Tommy Robredo relaxing at Port Melbourne beach ahead of the Australian Open.

But sitting on an Australian flag which appears to be a towel is rather disrespectful, eh???

I hope this will not create sort of a controversy. I swear if this happen in my country, Tommy will be asked to apologize to the whole nation.


Rumour says that Andy Murray is confident that he will get the role as the Hulk in Hollywood soon.

Australian Open defending champion Novak Djokovic launched his signature 'Falcon' range with the help of an aerial court at Melbourne's State Theatre and Molly the falcon.

Jelena Jankovic goes Chinese. She surprises many after signing with a leading Chinese sports brand called ANTA.

I have no problem with JJ chosing an almost unheard brand. Tennis does not belong to Nike or Adidas anyway.


Andy Roddick shows us what the Americans love and prefer to play.
