The Championships are run by Tennis Australia, formerly the LTAA, and were played in 1905 first at the Warehouseman’s Cricket Ground in St Kilda Road, Melbourne.
Historically, the tournament was played in the various states of Australia; however, in 1972 it was decided to keep the Open in the city that attracted the greatest patronage. Melbourne was that city, and Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club was the selected venue.
Since then the event has grown in stature and popularity, both in Australia and internationally. As the event grew, so too did the need to upgrade and improve facilities. Flinders Park was built when the State Government realised the existing facilities were not adequate for a Grand Slam tournament. Construction of the Centre, a multi-purpose venue, commenced in 1986 and was completed in January 1988, to be the scene of the 1988 Ford Australian Open. Further development to the venue occurred during 1995, with these works being completed for the 1996 event.
The move to Flinders Park was an immediate success with an 80% increase in attendance on the previous year at Kooyong.
The venue name change from Flinders Park to Melbourne Park occurred on Monday 29 January, 1996.
There is an English proverb:«All work and no play make Jack a dull boy». It means that every person needs some rest after working days. Leisure time is your free time from any necessary work, the time you spend on your own and with your relatives and friends. You do not think about any homework or housework. You can also spend this time for hobbies. Your hobby depends on your mood and taste. Moreover, you leave away day-to-day activities and begin to have fun.
Nowadays, people work a lot and rarely even want to dedicate some time for relaxing. Still when you have some, try to spend it to your advantage and do what you really like to do. There are many possible ways to plan your spare time and I would like to emphasize two of them.
One is to perform some physical actions such as to go in for sports, for example, play football, basketball, volleyball. Another one includes relaxing at home while doing a specific leisure time activities as knitting, doing handicrafts or gardening. All physical or manual work involves muscles work. It helps you to be fit and healthy.
Some prefer watching TV, going out with friends or just sleeping all day long; other adore to go to the mountains or to the seaside and enjoy the beauty of nature and keeping in touch with it. When you have free time, you may also read books, visit the museums, cinemas, parks or exhibitions. A lot of people like traveling and spend all their time discovering new countries and cultures. It enriches them, gives an opportunity for self-development.
Leisure time and hobbies are very important for human’s well-being. As for me, whatever way of relaxing you choose, it must help you find new forces and the desire for life. Hobbies are meant to bring a spiritual and mental satisfaction. They help people to enjoy life.
