How would you like Roger Federer to be playing for your town at Australian Open 2014?
And how would you like to win lots of prizes for yourself, your school, tennis club or community, simply by playing tennis?
Introducing the AO Blitz – a Grand Slam game for everyone!
The AO Blitz is a national competition that allows people who play tennis – and those who have never picked up a racquet – the chance to win major prizes and have an Australian Open 2014 player represent their local town or community.
That’s right. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray, Sam Stosur, Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova … the stars of international tennis could be playing for your town this summer.
All you have to do to earn points is play the game you love!
