The "spoilt brat" tennis players will earn millions whether the matches are here, Sydney or Beijing. At least if the open has to be here it brings a lot of money to Victoria through the visitors that come here to watch it. I've only lived in VIC for a few years and have plenty of friends interstate over the years whose only reason for coming to VIC is to got the Tennis, Grand Prix or Melbourne Cup. And believe me they've spent a lot of money on those visits. Agreed it may not have helped those waiting for medical treatment, but at least if the decision was made some locals have benefitted.
And for us tennis fans, we have a great tournament to watch!
