I've had a great day out at Elcho Island today, but you can read more on that tomorrow! For now, here's what you may or may not have missed in the news...

Wow. Can I just say: TGIF.

Before I leave work for the night (because it's my new home for blog-writing with my wishy-washy internet), I finally want to address the Australian Open properly.

***

1. How good are the Special K duo?

Nick Kyrgios was outstanding last night. It doesn't matter that he lost or that Benoit Paire is really irritating with his hot-headed nature. What matters is that Kyrgios clearly has the talent and skill to get to the cream of the crop. He just needs more miles in his legs. #NKrising indeed.

Thanasi Kokkinakis will develop in time too. He should be happy with his score against Rafael Nadal, and with good mate Kyrgios by his side will have a lot to look forward to in coming years.

Bottom line: Greek and Gold Day (as it was coined on Seven) showed promise. Opa!

2. Pink is the new black.

Seriously. Everyone's getting involved. And I really like it. Sam Stosur looks great in this bright ensemble, while plenty of the guys are opting for pink sneakers. Patterns too for that matter.



3. I'm on a plane for the mens' final.

How does that work? I'm off to Brisbane for a wedding next weekend, which is extremely exciting. The day after is Australia Day, and I thought that if I left pretty late I get to actually do something over there for most of the day. Plus I start at 11 the next day, which works in my favour.

It was only after booking the flight that I realised my mistake. It will be well into the game by the time I board, but that's the best bit. So (for now) I'm a little bit annoyed.
