New Australian Open boss Andrew Abdo throws shade at critics: ‘I’m not an outsider’
Andrew Abdo, the newly appointed director of the Australian Open, responded to detractors by asserting he is not an outsider to the sport. At the tournament’s launch, a former NRL chief mistakenly referred to world‑number‑one player Jacob Sinner. Abdo also revealed plans to expand the venue by 700 seats for the 2027 edition in Melbourne next.
