As Is Tradition, The Australian Open Is Producing Some Hilarious Action Shots

If you’re like me and have absolutely zero interest in tennis, then you might find the Australian Open a little hard to get into. And by ‘little’ I mean ‘bloody impossible’.

While most folk are busy unpacking Roger Federer‘s latest match at the pub, we non-tennis folk can be spotted slowly drifting off to the land of nod just waiting, nay praying, for divine intervention so we can talk about literally anything else.

Now, I know what you’re thinking – ‘why TF am I writing a tennis piece?’ and the answer is simple: some glorious action shots have emerged from this year’s tournament and, no matter your tennis inclination, literally anyone can appreciate the hilarity of these shots – even moi.

Oh, and if you’re only after serious tennis reporting, you might have already guessed that this ain’t that.

From derp-y faces to seriously ‘WTF?’ stances, there’s no shortage of entertainment value center court.

Rest assured, professional tennis has never looked so damn relatable and, after seeing these, maybe I don’t mind the sport after all?
