The Prime Minister of Australia was in the crowd for the Australian Open men’s final at Melbourne Park on Sunday night – but it was such a star-studded turnout, he wasn’t even the most famous person in attendance.
Anthony Albanese, fresh off a tough week facing scrutiny over his ‘broken promise’ regarding Stage 3 tax cuts, was joined by his girlfriend Jodie Haydon to watch Jannik Sinner go head to head with Daniil Medvedev.
Also present for the tennis showdown was Deborra-Lee Furness who looked engrossed in the game as she sat beside fellow actor and long-time friend Simon Baker.
The 68-year-old looked smart in a white dress shirt over a simple T-shirt and appeared in great spirits.
She exchanged several spirited comments with Simon, 54, with the pair sharing a laugh over the game at one stage.
