Parkes, NSW, Australia, 12 November 2013 | aoblitz.com.au

You can help attempt to set a Guinness World Record when the AO Blitz visits Parkes in regional New South Wales on Saturday.

Parkes’ main street will be closed off when it attempts to set a Guinness World Record for the most people bouncing tennis balls on racquets at 12pm.

Up to 1000 people are expected to be involved in the event; if you live in or near Parkes you’re invited to be a part of the action which can help bolster those numbers even higher!

At each event there’ll be an array of exciting activities such as MLC Tennis Hot Shots, Cardio Tennis* and Speed Serve**, plus the appearance of the Australian Open trophies^ and plenty of giveaways.

Some of these Blitz stops will also feature special guests and unique events (listed below) that will ensure they’re not to be missed!
