Anyone for tennis? Pictures: Supplied
Have you been glued to the TV watching the Australian Open with the rest of the nation?
Even if tennis isn’t a priority all year round, it’s easy to get swept up in the storylines and the dramatic finishes of the Australian Open.
From Aussie Alex de Minaur taking on World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz — and battling heat well into the 30Cs and 40Cs — to top-seeded woman Aryna Sabalenka being pushed in her opening match by French rising star Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah; there is always plenty to enthral.
If you love tennis, but can’t make it to Melbourne, maybe a match at home would make your day.

Where Tassie Devils stars might live
Atom Go Tian.
Ray White Group senior data analyst Atom Go Tian said Australians are embracing tennis as part of everyday life, and it’s showing up in the property market.
Mr Go Tian said the sport’s growing popularity, combined with lifestyle-driven regional migration, is driving an increase in homes with private tennis courts.
“For every 1000 houses on the market, 2.9 now feature a tennis court, up from a low point at the end of 2022,” he said.
“Buyers moving to regional and coastal areas find larger blocks make courts feasible, turning them into clear luxury amenities that support fitness, leisure, and family life.
“A tennis court costing $50,000 to build might theoretically add the same amount to a home’s value.
“Unlike pools, tennis courts attract a specific group of enthusiasts, making their value more about lifestyle than broad market appeal.”
Here are five Tassie homes where the dream of serving an ace daily can be a reality.
Priced at $4m-plus, this property offers a full-size grass tennis court, alongside a 12m infinity pool and spa, a poolside pavilion, and a glorious 1905-built, six-bedroom home named The Gables.
