We take a look at what the Team Emageo Athletes have been up to on the social media front over the last week.
Well another big week for the team led by our Aussie superstar Casey Dellacqua.
She had a huge week in New York, which led to a couple of huge firsts and was topped off with this huge news.
We had to keep it hush hush but thank god we can finally shout it from the roof tops.
Looking forward to playing #Hopmancup in @WestAustralia with @CaseyDellacqua #PerthArena #AustraliaGold #Cmon pic.twitter.com/13hCzC1wtD

Earlier in the week, another grand slam final appearance for her and Yaroslava Shvedova.
Although they couldn’t quite finish off the fortnight the way they wanted.
It’s still an unbelievable achievement and the Muster Team couldn’t be prouder.

A place in the season ending WTA Finals in Singapore is a huge achievement.
Especially for a team that has played just seven tournaments together and believe it or not the good news kept coming.
WOW @caseydellacqua up to WTA 5th in doubles rankings after reaching US Open final, a new career high for the tennis mum
— Chris Goldsmith (@TheTennisTalker) September 14, 2015

We wouldn’t mind being top 5000 at anything let alone top 5.
But enough of our superstar West Aussie for now.
Let’s head back to her home town and check out what Jason Behrendorff has been up to.
Once again no surprises to see him out and about
Cirque De Soleil last week, fashion festival this week.
Gee its tough at the top.
Speaking of a tough life, Rhys Mainstone is back home after his whirlwind trip to Hawaii
We’re not sure about the crew he was hanging out with over there though
Enough of that lets move onto actual action.
Lisa Weightman isn’t far from returning to action as she builds towards Rio
Awesome 32km run this morning with @LachlanMcArthur – let's hope for an @VFLPies win now!

The Melbourne marathon is next and we can’t wait to see our super mum back on the road.
Quickly back to New York though and well done to Flavia Panetta for taking out the Women’s Singles title.
She did it after upsetting Serena Williams on the way and the shocked everyone but announcing her retirement post match.
Our ladies loved it.
Wow what a refreshing women's singles final that was 😊 so happy for @flavia_pennetta & big congrats to @roberta_vinci also 👏 bravo guys!!

Just how Jay Z sings it "status appears to be an all time high, perfect time to say goodbye" Congrats @flavia_pennetta #forza

The men’s final was another epic contest between the Swiss master and the king Novak Djokovic.
Matty Ebden was watching on and as always looking for an edge.
I'm gonna work on winning more 45second service games all the time… @usopen #federer #usopen

But we have to finish things off with a bit more Casey love.
If you are ever in New York here’s how she recommends you spend some of your time

No surprises to see shopping and food at the top of her list but while she loves the big apple, Casey is Aussie through and through.
So here is this week’s nomination for where she and you’d rather be
