Tennis Melbourne

The doubles champion shares her Australian Open go-tos from her daily Greek food fix during a Melbourne lockdown to post-match fish and chips.

I can text the owner and he'll organise a confit when I am playing the French Open. I am a big fan of croissants and we hired scooters to try all the best places in each arrondissement (neighbourhood). We buy a baguette at a bakery and eat by the river or set up camp by the Eiffel Tower. It's nice to know you can go to any corner bistro and find a quality steak and frites. I ate their food on a daily basis. I like to know what is in my food – from the spices to oils. I am very picky with our meats and everything we source is free-range and organic. I am a dark-chocolate connoisseur. I also love teppanyaki restaurant Wagyu Ya in South Yarra. Right now, I am really into Ritual Chocolate, Le Petit Duc, Dick Taylor and Manoa. Nine-time Grand Slam doubles champion Bethanie Mattek-Sands, 37, returns to the Australian Open this month to try and claim a third win to add to her 2015 and 2017 victories here. I love his rotisserie chicken and our homemade butternut squash soup.
