A Love Match on Centre Court

Pat Rafter Arena has hosted some of the biggest names in tennis — and recently, it became the backdrop for something a little different: a heartfelt marriage proposal.

Local tennis coach and racquet stringer Gabe Uzum chose Pat Rafter Arena as the setting for a moment he’d never forget. What started as a casual tennis lesson soon became a life-changing occasion when Gabe proposed to his girlfriend, Janaína, right on centre court — the same court that’s hosted global stars like Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, and Serena Williams.

During the session, Gabe served a tennis ball marked with a handwritten message in Portuguese: “Will you marry me?” As the ball landed in his girlfriend’s hands and she read the words, Gabe dropped to one knee — and she said yes.

“This court has seen so many incredible moments in tennis — I just wanted to add one more,” Gabe said with a smile.

Pat Rafter Arena isn’t just a world-class sporting venue — it’s also a place where unforgettable memories are made. Whether it’s a corporate function, community event, or a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, your moment could be next.
