Court 6 at the Australian Open has become a popular destination for spectators thanks to its unique party atmosphere. The court features a rooftop bar with music, drinks, and socializing, creating a lively environment unlike any other at the tournament. Players have embraced the atmosphere, while some have found it distracting.

Background music played while beer, wine and spirits flowed at a sharp pace across all corners of the two-story complex. Of course, it was all in the name of a good time. The night before Lys and Gracheva battled, Brit Jacob Fearnley, who knocked out mercurial Australian Nick Kyrgios in the first round, was dealt the second-round wildcard that is Court 6. For him this time though, it wasn’t the player he was up against that possessed a loud nature. It was the court itself.

I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet, but it’s really cool,” Court 6’s Fearnley said post-match after his four-set win. Less than 24 hours later, Gracheva and Lys battled out a three-set epic in front of a just as social, but slightly less rowdy Melbourne crowd as the German won 6-2, 3-6, 6-4 in a match where winning points off your own first serve proved a deciding factor.
