TOMAS Berdych Has a Bash at the BEACH

He spent yesterday cooling off at Port Melbourne beach after feeling the heat over his on-court actions.

Seventh seed Berdych refused to shake hands with opponent Nicolas Almagro on Sunday after being hit by a ball which he felt was directed at him.

The Czech stands by his call despite Almagro's insistence that he didn't intend to cause injury.

"This is not the way how tennis is," he said.

"I was just lucky to somehow fall down (so it) just hit me in the arm. You always have some space to put the ball in."

After getting fiery, Berdych chilled out yesterday, playing some beach tennis with coach Tomas Krupa. He took a dip in the water and enjoyed some time in the sun as Melbourne's mercury soared, to over 36 degrees.

ATP#4Andy Murray on the beach Andy Murray

"Beach tennis is cool and has a gr8 Future"

Thanks for giving it a go! Recently Andy make his way to the Bayside of Port Melbourne Beach and catch up withthe latest sporting

phenomenom hit to beach in Australia. Having said he'd tried it before in Spain, he believed it has a great future and can make a greatcontribution to the world tennis..

With Tennis Australia set to lainch its CARDIO TENNIS program in the leadup to the 2012 AO, It is very exciting times for the sport, and most encouraging that the ITF is also seeing beach tennis as a great fit, and idealistic way of getting more people and players to the courts.

Good on you, ANDY

It was a pleasure to have him there as he signed autographs for many of the hungry tennis fans. amongst his preparations and tried his hand at beach tennis.Andy Murray tuned up for the Australian Open with a spot of beach tennis The Scottish No.1

However, Murray wielded a smaller than usual racket on Port Melbourne Beach as watched the Australian Open Beach TennisChampionships - and then decided to have a go himself.

Beach Tennis is a great cross-training sportl, whilst having fun, adding variety and gaining strength. Its low impact on your joints and is emerging in a huge way overseas and in Europe.

Let's go Australia, We are suppportred by some of the best beaches in the world, and our tennis history is deep and cultural.

Recently the ITF have officially adopted the sport and have sanctioned in professional tour in Europe. Thanks to the hard work and belief of many passionate followers and Gianni Belletinni (IFBT)in the early years, the sport is now a force to be reckoned with. The ITF recognise the approach of going outsde the square and adopting other sports, wghich will further enhance participation levels and embrace many, across a wide cross section of demograhics and cultre. Great vision.

Pictured here is local boys Oliver (The Journeyman) and Rubin Statham, who are currently 801 and 351 respectively,on the ATP tour. The two are avid beach tennis players when they are back home in the borough, always sniffing for a game.

Rubin has just been given the honor to reppresent his country (NZ) at the up and coming Commonwealth Games in India 2010. Also he is the number 1 for the NZ Davis Cup Team and has a very impressive record.

A big congratulations from all your beach tennis buddies here in Port Melbourne.

You too can have a body like this!!

Start getting in shape now, it a game for everybody!
