4 reasons why the Australian Open produces the most epic matches

#3 The fans

Australian fans are known to be a passionate lot. Not only do they support Australian players to the absolute limit, they are enthusiastic supporters of good tennis as well. They are loud, a far cry from the sophisticated crowds that we see at, say, Wimbledon.

This brings a different dimension to the game, adding to the excitement and interest. The Australian Open is known to draw in record number of people every year. And one is sure to be devoid of a partisan crowd, unless of course if an Australian player or Federer is playing. This helps a lot in boosting the players' morale, and we have witnessed some of the most epic encounters here.
