- John Millman says new bar on court six is ‘sign times are changing’
- Controversial venue has drawn multiple complaints from players
Australian tennis veteran John Millman says players need to adapt to the noise and distraction of the “party court” at the Australian Open, as the sport adjusts to changing fan expectations.
Millman retired from singles after losing in the tournament qualifiers last week but won his first round doubles clash with 19-year-old South Australian Edward Winter, 6-7 (3-7), 6-2, 7-6 (14-12) over Marcus Daniell and Marcelo Demoliner in a rain-interrupted match.
