Australian Open 2024: Awesome Alcaraz reaches fourth round at Melbourne
For just over an hour on Rod Laver Arena, twice Grand Slam champion Alcaraz simply beat 18-year-old Shang in the uncommon position of playing someone younger than himself.
Australia’s Melbourne city has decided to name metro stations after places that feature in the Game of Thrones series, authorities said on Tuesday.
The Victorian state government revealed that the stations will be named through a public vote.
The series’ author George R.R. Martin said he was “flattered” with the move.

“Melbourne, as it happens, is adding five new stops to its Metro, and in a fit of jolly Aussie optimism they have asked the public to suggest names for the new stations. And it would seem that names from my books are among the leading contenders,” Martin wrote in a blog post.
Beside Highgarden, the Eyrie, Dorne, Westeros, the author admitted that Winterfell would be a good fit for a train station name except for the fact that winter “never comes” in Australia.
Entries for the “name the station” competition close on October 22.
