Tucked behind Rod Laver Arena is the tennis version of the Chairman’s Lounge – Club 1905.
The premium venue offers cashed-up fans seats close enough to watch the sweat drip off world No. 1 Jannik Sinner’s back. There is Piper-Heidsieck champagne on demand and luxury dining by Martin Benn and Vicki Wild of three-hatted Sepia fame, with a menu that changes every two days.
