The second week of the 2009 Australian Open in Melbourne will feature a return match between Mats Wilander and Pat Cash.

Comment to Pat Cash.
I cannot help but be amazed that Channel Seven and the Australian open presenters would even consider for one minute having Pat Cash play a demonstration game for old time sake. Mats Wilander must have a short memory, as aparently so do the presenters and the public. Remember Mr Cash, when you abused the public and attacked the sports reporters for daring to question something you said, you of course in your usual flippant way told the camera, well I obviously have got my periods…nice chap. This was a long time ago but a lot of people still vividly remember your disgusting mouth. You would have some nerve turning up sir. Mr R. Stanyer (retired Engineer)
