Hope to see it in person someday.
I have attended the US Open here at home in New York.
Send this to the USTA or ITA.
Should be on a T-Shirt or poster.
Well done.

Love your bright look of the Australian Open. Lots of fun action going on and a nice bouncy mode. A lighthearted poem that lifts your spirits is always a joy to read and this did just that! LOve the rhyme and flow of the poem which you don't always see in acrostics.
Very Nicely Done!
Good Luck in the Contest! :o) Helvi

This poem binds up and opens a lot of images. And it goes with the title Australian open, which is based on the sports and the weather at this time of the year over there.
Good job!
Good luck

Solid acrostic for Australia Open
Good use of abab rhyming with a closing couplet
excellent use of enjambment
really? for the female athletes you notice their pretty legs??? LOL
good assonance in drops and lobs
A fun look at this important tournament

This was a well written acrostic poem. The Australian Open was a unique topic. Great anticipation felt in this poem concerning that tennis event. Watch out for the Joker, he's no joke. LOL. This was a refreshing poem.

This would have done well in the Sports poetry contest. I like the simple, but informative use of the medium here. You've explained, advertised and made somewhat lyrical the event as it comes into focus.l I like the rhymes which keep the poetic flow and steer the mode away from a banal shopping list of lines that happen to begin with a suitable letter. My tips: Layton to get to round three, Samantha to round two.

Thank you. Yeah, obviously should have saved it for the sports contest!
My tps: Samantha lucky to get past round 1. Little Lleyton has a chamipion's heart and seems to have found a fountain of youth somewhere this year. And a bolter to win the title - del Potro maybe - it's a bit boring having the same old faces year after year.

Excellent. Double whammy. Observes the acrostic format and embodies a solid ABAB rhyme. The rhyming couplet closer obviously dictated by the number of letters in the title. Good luck with the prompt. DJ

Thanks, DJ
Yep, it'a a bummer when the number of letters doesn't add up, so I had to get a little creative...
