Ariarne Titmus attends Australian Open charity event as she cheers on Novak Djokovic & Paralympian Dylan Alcott

Ariarne Titmus recently shared glimpses from the 2025 Australian Open charity event. Several superstars such as Novak Djokovic, Victoria Azarenka, and Qinwen Zheng were present at the charity event with the main draw for the Melbourne Slam scheduled to begin on Sunday (Jan 12).

The event, called "A Night with Novak," also saw a huge fan gathering. The money raised through the event will be donated to charitable foundations for children.

This comes just a few days after she graced the women's singles finals of the Brisbane International where she saw Aryna Sabalenka clinch the title.

Titmus, besides being a multiple-time Olympic medalist, is also an avid lover of tennis. Last year, Titmus produced impressive performances for the Australian national team at the quadrennial Games in Paris where she clinched the gold medal in the 400m freestyle event.

Notably, for the 2025 Australian Open, Titmus is about to embark on a new endeavor as she joined Fox's Channel 9 commentary team alongside canoeist Jessica Fox.

Ariarne Titmus opened up about her early tennis memories from her high school years.

In an interview, Titmus revealed that she had to pass a tennis test during her 12th year and also mentioned that she got a C irrespective of her tennis skills. She added that she doesn't have the proper coordination while playing the game. Titmus said (via Tennis.com):

"I have a funny story. To get a good grade in PE (Physical Education) in Year 12, I had to pass a tennis term and I’m pretty sure my teacher gave me a C just because he liked me, not because of my tennis ability. I’m very un-coordinated and definitely not made for land, but I love watching tennis."

Ariarne Titmus also spoke of her early experiences of watching the Australian Open during the interview.
