6 o'clock, it's Monday morning
Life can strike without a warning
Get up, get out, get on
It's a brand new day

Find a dream and never stop, yeah
You've got your friends to back you up, yeah
You crash and burn
So what?

It's a brand new day
No matter what they say
Just shout until you turn around and blast the past away

It's a brand new day
Yesterday is gone
The game is on
It's time to jump and take a leap of faith

It's a brand new day!

"Kids Tennis Day is about engaging, introducing and educating the next generation about tennis and the Australian Open in a fun, relaxed way," Hewitt said.

"I was fortunate enough to be involved in the game at a young age, receiving coaching, playing at a club and visiting the Australian Open every year.

"I made a point of spending time around the practice courts watching the big names go about their business. It was fun and enjoyable and that is the best way for parents to approach their children playing, by making sure they enjoy themselves as it will help them to learn easily."

Craig Tiley, Tennis Australia CEO added: "Kids Tennis Day presented by Nickelodeon is the country's biggest kids' event of the summer and it continues to introduce families to tennis.

"In 2015 almost 14,500 fans attended Kids Tennis Day. It's a day that brings some of the greats of our sport together with the future generation to drive the message that tennis is a sport for life. It's all about picking up a racquet and having a go no matter what age or ability."
