Welcome back everyone, welcome to Love All, where we are less than a week away from the main draw event at the Australian Open.

First of all, I want to thank everybody for all their amazing feedback on our first episode, their great comments.

I'm Kim Kleisters and I'm really excited to be back with my partner in crime, Blair Henley.

Hi, Kim. I am coming to you from Australia. It is after midnight here, so I don't know that I can take full ownership of everything that comes out of my mouth tonight. Apologies

if there are some more ums and us than usual. I'm going to attempt to put together complete

sentences, but it's been an incredible first couple of days on the grounds. And it's like everyone

here, Kim, has gotten the memo that this is now a full three-week event. My mind was absolutely blown when I saw

the numbers out of day one from what they're calling opening week. We call it fan week at the U.S.

Open. The previous attendance record, Kim, 7,543 people. And I can attest to this because i was here last year on the

first day of qualifying there were not many people around the grounds at all the day one attendance

record as of two days ago 29,261 so i don't know if that was fantastic marketing or if people realized what an incredible

product qualifying week is. The Australian Open does such a good job of making this feel like

a tennis festival. And they do have an advantage, Kim. It's so interesting having been to the other slams.

The Australian Open has space. They have so much room to, I mean, everything is decked out in

graphics design. There is a life-size Barbie playhouse that is a makeup store on the grounds. I mean, literally everything you could

imagine from sponsor activations to food, to drinks, to games for families to play. And I know that

the U.S. Open, for instance, would love to have that much space to work with. But the Australian Open

does a great job of taking advantage of the space that they have. And it really does feel like that Happy Slam vibe is just reverberating around the grounds. It has been so much fun to be a part of. I do have a little bit of a bone to pick him with the weather because all I saw on social media

before getting on the plane were people melting.

It's so hot.

It was 107 degrees Fahrenheit.

I was legit cold today.
