It seems all the big names in Melbourne want to be involved.
We think that’s former Geelong and NFL star Ben Graham behind the wheel.
What an entrance! π¦πΊπΈπΊπΈ #AUSUSA #DavisCup #GoAussies https://t.co/2N0tkVD8dK

There’s a lot more required for Davis Cup than just playing matches.
Lucky John came prepared.

Weβre guessing everyone got the brown shoe memo.
Doesnβt he scrub up ok even though he’s punching above his weight.
You know the great man is up and about when heβs making collages.

And while she can, enjoying the benefits of still being down under
Staying with tennis and Matty Ebden has been gallivanting around the world, taking in the sights with his bestie.
Who wears them better?
And enjoying his time reminiscing. We reckon you should rock this outfit at some point this year mate.
Even the dogs were getting in to it …
Moving to the bat and ball and the big man Jason Behrendorff has been making the most of some time off as he recovers from a back injury.
If only we had a social life like his.
We do get a bit worried when pics of food start appearing though.
Beetroot for breakfast??
Enough food pics moving on to our super mum andΒ Lisa Weightman is back training for Rio.
Her next step is the Sydney Half Marathon.
Nice yarn by @chriscavanagh1 on Olympic hopeful Lisa Weightman: https://t.co/im1qX5AQWn

As always training is a family affair.
Gee the little man is growing up so fast.
A couple of other Rio hopefuls were strutting their stuff this week.
The boys are back in town!
It seems high achievement runs in the Beck family.
Just before we finish up in the usual way, letβs once again wish John Peers all the best for his Davis Cup debut.
Go get them mate, you’ve earnt it!
Strong lineup for #Aus @NickKyrgios #Tomic @SamGrothTennis and @johnwpeers will be become the #106th to put on the #goldjacket @DavisCup
