Tennis Fan James Bray Ejected From Australian Open by Police

James Bray, a 28‑year‑old tennis enthusiast from Sydney, became a viral sensation after loudly supporting British star Emma Raducanu during the 2026 Australian Open. Bray’s enthusiastic vocal cheers and animated celebrations drew attention on social media earlier in the tournament. On Friday, 24 January 2026, he was escorted out of Melbourne’s Rod Laver Arena by police, who cited ‘rowdy’ behaviour and breach of venue rules. The incident occurred in the main arena of Melbourne Park and prompted a stir among fans and players alike. Fans argue that the removal was excessive, while officials emphasise safety and order at the high‑profile event.
