Live sport on SN this weekendPolice escort and a fine: Super Fan kicked out of AO
SEN • January 24th, 2026 1:09 pm
It's Super Saturday at the Australian Open and it is HOT!
Temperatures are expected to reach upwards of 41 today so safe to say we expect limited action on the outer courts.
Play has started earlier than normal here in a bid to get more action done and dusted before the wet bulb alerts us all to the wild weather Mlebourne is brining.
We will bring you all the news as it happens.
11am Super fan kicked out of the Aus Open
Tennis “super fan” James Bray has had more TV time than some players so far this Australian Open, but he will be off screen for at least 24 hours after being ejected and banned form the tournament.
Bray was courtside to cheer on Aussie Alex de Minaur but his vocal support was deemed more worthy of a $700 fine and a police escort off the premises than simply being an over excited fan.
“Unfortunately I’ve been kicked out of the Australian Open because I’ve been too rowdy,” Bray said in a series of Instagram posts.
“I was cheering him, not disrespectful at all, I wasn’t cheering in between double faults or in between serves.
“I was just cheering him on like I would any Australian on any court and for some reason security came up to me and said ‘sorry mate, you’ve been warned, you need to leave’.
“It was a bit of a weird one, I feel like I wasn’t doing anything bad, everyone around me was cheering.
“If I was doing that same thing at John Cain Arena, no one would have battered an eyelid.
“The people next to me were loving it, Demon was loving. I feel like Tiafoe’s a legend, he loves it too. So I don’t know what the issue was. I’ll be reaching out, I want some answers. I was just doing what everyone else does, having fun, cheering on the boys.”
