Melbourne, Australia, 15 November 2012 | australianopen.com

The Live Like A Player competition enables one lucky person to enjoy the Australian Open experience of a lifetime.

The winner will get a taste of the perks of being a top professional tennis player, from arriving in Melbourne for the tournament right the way through to off court entertainment options.

And it’s easy to enter – simply buy your ticket to Australian Open 2013 and register the barcode at livelikeaplayer.com.au.

The major prize includes complete VIP treatment everywhere you go, whether you’re at the airport, at the official hotel, or at Melbourne Park itself.

Your Australian Open experience will continue when you have a hit on the Melbourne Park practice courts with your very own ballkids, receive the actual Australian Open 2013 player gift – this year a leather overnight travel bag – and are allowed behind-the-scenes access to all player facilities. This includes the massage chairs of Player Services, the made-to-order sushi and fruit smoothies of the Player Cafe, and a work-out in the Player Gym.

Then there’s the lavish extras, like exclusive dining at a mixture of on-site restaurants and some of the best restaurants in Melbourne, a visit to the Beauty Bar for a treatment – normally reserved only for players – and access to the AO Shop before it is open to the public to spend your AO merchandise voucher.

The experience concludes with a meet-and-greet with the band playing on men’s or women’s final nights – including a photo opportunity – and prime seating at Australian Open 2013 men’s and women’s singles finals.

Sound like the opportunity of a lifetime? It could be yours.
