MLC - Advice, Life Insurance, Super - and ballkids

Look out for a fresh face at the Australian Open this year, as we sponsor the Australian Open Ballkids for the first time.

The MLC Ballkids are a special group of young people, some of whom go on to become champion tennis players themselves.

Selected from thousands of applications, these outstanding athletes are chosen for their fitness, concentration and love of the game.

You can find out more online. While you’re there, why not test out your skills and experience the fun of the game with our online challenge.

As well as being proud sponsors of the MLC Ballkids, we’re the official Advice, Life Insurance and Super sponsor of the Australian Open.

So bring along your hat and sunscreen to Melbourne Park to enjoy all the fun activities at the MLC Fan Zone. And while you're there, why not come & try MLC Tennis Hot Shots in Garden Square.

The Australian Open starts Monday 18 January to Sunday 31 January 2010, and is watched by millions of tennis fans both here at home and overseas.

More information on the MLC Ballkids and the Australian Open is available online.
