The AO/OA Champion ... and the Battle of the Wills Part 2?

The new Australian Open logo?-)

Reading a recent local newspaper about the events leading up to this year's Australian Open tennis tournament made me recall a couple of posts from a few years back that I wrote about the Netflix series 'The OA' and the Australian Open logo of AO -

What is it with Os and As and Nets and Flix?

The AO (Australian Open) and the Battle of the Wills?

Maybe the 72 players in hotel quarantine should watch season one at least of 'The OA'?-)

Chris Knowles of the 'Secret Sun' blog seems to see a more sinister take on the number 72 when it comes to game, SET and match, maybe?-)

"New Dawn" or
Another Empire Backfire?

Seth and his 72 accomplices?

As many as 72 players are confined
to their hotel rooms for 14 days?

Australian Open tennis player Paula Badosa tests positive for COVID-19 in hotel quarantine in Melbourne?

Maybe the quarantined players should chill out in their rooms and watch Netflix, as there is a season 2 of  'The OA' as well?-)

Ironically on August 5, 2019, Netflix canceled the series after two seasons, leaving the show with a cliffhanger ending.

Marling wrote that she and Batmanglij were "deeply sad" that they would not be able to finish the show.

Fans responded with a #SaveTheOA and #TheOAisReal campaign on Twitter, a Change.org petition, and by posting video of themselves performing The Movements from the show.

Additionally, the OA fan base raised funds for a digital billboard in Times Square.

Marling wrote that she was moved by the fan support.

One fan went on a hunger strike outside Netflix's Los Angeles Headquarters to protest for the show's return; Marling and Batmanglij visited her and offered her food and water.

Some fans online have put forward a theory that the cancellation announcement was just a meta publicity stunt.

The Royal Spanish Tennis Federation (RFET) has backflipped in its criticism of the Australian Open quarantine measures after a Spanish player tested positive for COVID-19.

Australian Open fans are set to experience a redesigned Melbourne Park when the tournament finally gets under way early next month.
In an effort to be COVID-safe and restrict fans to certain areas, people attending the grand slam will be split among three strict zones.
That means fans will be forced to choose between centre court, the best food and drink options or cheaper tickets.
Organisers haven’t nominated how much crowds will be reduced by in the main arenas given the coronavirus, but said there would be “modified arena capacities”, with the seating to be booked in pods to ensure physical distancing between groups.
