“With my French heritage and culture, to tie those two things together is amazing,’’ Fox said.

“I’m not a huge sport fan outside of my own but tennis is probably the only one I’ll watch.

“It’s such a mental game and there’s so much to take away and learn.”

Tennis Australia is also hosting a range of VIP guests on Sunday night in its exclusive O hospitality, including Collingwood captain Darcy Moore, pop star Dannii Minogue, actor Marta Dusseldorp, Olympic runner Peter Bol, foodie Matt Preston and beauty queen Maria Thattil who is also a guest of Aperol.
