The show will be performed in Melbourne at, you guessed it, Rod Laver Arena.DEMON LOVEIt’s love-all for Australian No.1 Alex de Minaur and his fiancee, British tennis player Katie Boulter.LoadingDe Minaur and Boulter played at the same time on Tuesday night, and in his post-match press conference the Demon said he had to not only battle his round one opponent, Botic van de Zandschlup, but the ultimate distraction – Boulter’s score kept on flashing up on Rod Laver Arena scoreboards.“There is a scoreboard that keeps alternating with different results throughout the day,” he said.“You don’t really want to be thinking about it, because you want to be focusing on your own match. Then all of a sudden you see the result of Katie’s match.“You try not to pay too much attention and focus on yourself, but the sheer fact that it’s always coming around, it makes it difficult. So every now and again, whenever it came about, I saw what the result was.”After his match was over, de Minaur dashed over to sit in on Boulter’s game.Boulter is equally smitten and when asked whether she was thinking about de Minaur’s match, she replied: “I kind of wish his score was popping up on my screen, but it wasn’t… it’s obviously difficult to know that he’s playing a match and you’re kind of hearing cheers here and there, and you’re hoping that’s for him, but you never know.”The couple, who became engaged before Christmas, have been equally loved up on Instagram – in a very Gen Z way. Just before the tournament, de Minaur was pictured lounging around in a bay window holding a book and with a tennis court in the background in an Instagram post to spruik his paid partnership with Airbnb.Boulter succinctly commented: “You read?”Both players won in the first round, so the love match is set to continue.New Melbourne resident and Channel Seven newsreader Karina Carvalho at Piper-Heidsieck.Credit: Penny Stephens TIPS FOR NEW MELBURNIANSSettling in for a glass of champagne at Piper Heidsieck’s bar, Channel Seven newsreader Karina Carvalho was enjoying her first Australian Open as a Melburnian after moving from Sydney last year.“I’m settled. The paintings are up on the walls, all those little things that make a place feel like home,” she said.Carvalho had some tips for newcomers to Melbourne.“You’ve got to find your favourite cafe early on, a really good bakery and just never ever look at a weather forecast in another city,” she said.For the record, Carvalho’s favourite cafe is Hank’s Bagelry in Armadale. The newsreader is a tennis fan and wishes her game was better.“I now wear contact lenses, so I can see the ball when it’s over there, and I can see the ball when it’s right here, but I can’t see the ball moving towards me, which does not make for a good tennis player,” she said.FIRST-FAMILY SNAPIt is only day four but the most important photo of the Australian Open has already been taken. Some families mark the passing of time with an annual group photo with Santa Claus at the local shopping centre. But not tournament director Craig Tiley.For many years the family Tiley – Craig, Chicago-born wife Ali, daughter Marlowe and twin sons Archer and Weston – have had an annual family photo taken at the Open.Ali lists her Instagram occupation as “keeping three small humans alive daily”.The affable Tiley was shy about admitting the annual tradition when asked by Open Season, but the photo is understood to be placed so high on his lengthy to-do list that normalcy was suspended on the Friday before competition while it was taken.Start the day with a summary of the day’s most important and interesting stories, analysis and insights.
