Which tapas bar the tennis stars are storming in Melbourne, which local Austrian company is inspiring Novak Djokovic and why the Australian Open is the biggest Grand Slam tournament of the year for Oliver Marach. A report by "Krone" employee Maria Schaller.

This year's Australian Open is even bigger, even more colorful. The tennis party in Down Under really picked up speed during the first week of the tournament and is heading towards the first major highlight, the "Super Saturday" with the highest attendance and a huge supporting program.
