Like so many Australians, I admired Neale Daniher enormously. What he did for the fight against MND, while facing it himself, was remarkable. He carried himself with great dignity and touched a lot of people along the way. My sincere condolences to Neale’s family and loved ones. Vale Neale. 🚀

An Australian legend in every sense of the word 💚💛

Rest in peace, Neale Daniher.

I was very sad to hear of Mal Anderson’s passing. One of the true greats of our game, Mal was a fellow Queenslander and a lifelong friend. We travelled and played many tournaments together over the years, and I always admired his impeccable court manners and exquisite timing. A champion in every sense of the word. Vale, Mal. 🚀

Congratulations @CraigTiley, you’ve achieved so much in your 20 years Down Under at all levels of the sport. It’s amazing to see the changes each year I visit the AO. Thank you for your friendship and support. Good luck for the next chapter. 🚀

Sorry to hear of the passing of Dr John Fraser. He had an extraordinary career as a player, a tennis administrator, and a GP specialising in sports medicine. We reached the Wimbledon doubles semis together in 1962. It’s been a long road, John, you made your mark alright. Go well, mate. 🚀

[Rod Laver @rodlaver]

Congratulations on your first AO crown and another major title, @carlosalcaraz. Your talent, courage and joy for the game light up our sport.
@DjokerNole - what you continue to bring to tennis is beyond belief. Thank you for another remarkable fortnight and for setting the standard we all admire. 🚀

[Rod Laver @rodlaver]

Good luck to @DjokerNole and @carlosalcaraz in tonight’s Australian Open men’s final. What Novak has achieved in tennis is beyond belief. Based on what we’ve seen so far, it’s impossible to pick a winner. Both will fight with everything they have. I’ll be cheering on from afar. Take it away, champions. 🚀

[Rod Laver @rodlaver]

Congratulations to Elena Rybakina on her first Australian Open crown, a well-deserved achievement after a dominant summer. Bravo!
More AO trophies surely lie ahead for both you and Aryna Sabalenka. 🚀
