'I would like to introduce myself... I am a software analyst working in Adelaide. Me and my husband Arvind are tennis fanatics. We were very curious to watch the Aussie Open '07. It was a dream come true when we entered Rod Laver Arena. We saw Federer, Mauresmo, Serena Willams, Nadal, Safin, Baghdatis, Sharapova, Alicia Molik & Hewitt's match,' writes Shirley.

'Of course we made it to Sania's first round match also. It was good to see her win comfortably. Mahesh Bhupathi (left) was there watching it. The next day when we were doing shopping and were surprised to see Leander Paes (right) walking on the street after his practice session. He was very friendly when we spoke with him.'
