Party time: The start of a Grand Slam always means one thing: player parties! Some of the biggest tennis ballers in the world dropped their racquets and picked up a cocktail (or soda water - whatever) at IMG's party player on the eve of the Aussie Open at Breezes, located in the Crown Towers. They gathered to toast the start of a (hopefully) successful season and the first Grand Slam of the Year.
Xavier Malisse & Joachim Johansson
BTW - when did Joachim Johansson become so model-boy cute? We need you back!
UPDATE: Thanks to our readers for letting us know these images were from a previous year's event. We're on the search for this year's IMG party pics and will post them if we find any!

You've been sold a pup, Rich.
ReplyDeleteThese are not the Jan 14th IMG AO Tennis Party pics. They are from a player party at one of the tournaments - Sony-Ericson Miami I think - last year when Maria wore that outfit and Rafa that striped shirt and jacket... he was wearing a plain white shirt at the AO bash.
crap - does anyone have this year's pics?
