Peers gets Davis Cup call up ahead of Dubai semifinal
We take a look at what the Team Emageo Athletes have been up to on the social media front over the last week.
Well this week had it all for #TeamEmageo, so sit back, relax and indulge yourself in a huge edition of the Social Muster.
Unfortunately we need to kick this week off with some unfortunate news from Casey Dellacqua.
This morning Casey released via Instagram that concussion and whiplash has forced her out of the WTA Finals in Singapore.
We know Casey is very thankful of all the support she has received and will be back fitter than ever for 2016.
@caseydellacqua get better partner!😚 We will win it next time!😉

Now, from one special mum to another.
Lisa Weightman made her return to competitive running on Sunday and what a return it was.
A national title and a race record if you don’t mind.

Her biggest supporter has to be baby Pete.
Here’s the little man before:
I trained hard today so that mum could rest – someone's gotta do all the hard work! #LittlePete pic.twitter.com/P4ygM3E3C1

And Mum getting straight back to reality the next day:
Guess I better get up and fold the washing…where is my genie? Post recovery run…weary legs, but feeling blessed.

While it was great to see so much support on social media for Lisa including a couple of Aussie greats.
@LisaWeightman congrats on such an awesome first race back today Lisa!!

Now onto a couple of the blokes.
John Peers had a huge week.
Bring on London Johnny …
Great news: @jamie_murray and I have qualified for WTF! Bring on the o2! @Prince_Tennis @StrydaForce @ATPWorldTour pic.twitter.com/mp8o6eY4Bx

Before the finals though, Peers and Murray are searching for a win in Vienna.
They are into the semi finals tonight.
Rhys Mainstone finished off the year as one of the World Best Swimmers.
Racing complete. Would love the thank @finisswim @shotznutrition for a full year of support. #teamFINIS #amazing pic.twitter.com/AGHkcJ2zLa

Time to head home, after a long year of racing the World Cup circuit with many ups and downs I managed to finish 3rd in overall series #2015
— Rhys Mainstone (@RhysMainstone) October 18, 2015
It was a massive year for the West Aussie finishing the season third overall and becoming the first Aussie to win three World Cup races.
Great work Rhys!
Jason Behrendorff got some huge news during the week with selection in the PM XI and CA XI to tackle NZ across the weekend in his former home town of Canberra.
Fingers crossed the new wheels can help with a few wickets.
Thanks to @ASICSaustralia & the guys @cuscricketshoes for my new wheels! #Asics #530TR #wheels pic.twitter.com/NML8Wldhz8

Before he flew in, the great man was in Sydney for an ACA meeting.
See if you can find him here #WhereIsDorff
While Dorff likes to keep things modest, Matty Eden was more than happy to get his rig out.

… if you looked like that why wouldn’t you.
Ebden is back home for a short break, making the most of the Perth sunshine with family and friends.
And so is Mainstone, what’s up skip?
Like always let’s wrap things up with from where you’d rather be.
Matty and Rhys were close with their snap shots of home.
But once again we couldn’t go past Olivia Rogowska who continues to deliver:
That’s it from us.
It’s been a busy week and we look forward to bringing you another edition next Friday.
Once again congrats to Lisa, John, Dorff and Rhys, and best wishes Casey on a speedy recovery.
