Are you glued to the TV watching the Australian Open with the rest of the country?
Even if tennis isn’t a year-round priority, it’s easy to get caught up in the storylines and dramatic ending of the Australian Open.
From Aussie Alex de Minaur taking on world number 1 Carlos Alcaraz – battling the heat well into the 30s and 40s – to top seed Aryna Sabalenka being pushed in her opening match by French rising star Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah; there is always enough to keep you interested.
If you love tennis but can’t make it to Melbourne, a match at home might just make your day.

Where Tassie Devils stars could live

Ray White Group senior data analyst Atom Go Tian said Australians are embracing tennis as part of everyday life, and it is popping up in the property market.
Mr Go Tian said the growing popularity of the sport, combined with lifestyle-driven regional migration, is driving an increase in the number of homes with private tennis courts.
“For every 1,000 homes on the market, 2.9 now have a tennis court, up from a low at the end of 2022,” he said.
“Buyers moving to regional and coastal areas are finding that larger blocks make courts feasible, making them distinct luxury amenities that support fitness, leisure and family life.
“A tennis court that costs $50,000 to build could theoretically add the same amount to the value of a home.
“Unlike swimming pools, tennis courts attract a specific group of enthusiasts, making their value more about lifestyle than broad market appeal.”
Here are five Tassie houses where the dream of serving a daily ace can become a reality.
