Arina Rodionova faces Australian Open playoff tie on her wedding day

 For many people, their wedding day is the best -- and busiest -- day of their lives. Tennis player Arina Rodionova will be busier than most brides when she ties the knot on Saturday. If getting married to Australian rules football player Ty Vickery wasn't enough to keep her occupied, she's also got an Australian Open playoff match to get through. The Russia-born Australian was originally due to play Storm Sanders in the afternoon, but with the wedding taking place at 4 p.m. local time, tournament organizers have agreed to move the semifinal qualifying clash to 9 a.m. "The priority has always been the wedding," Rodionova

"If the match had been any later then I would have really considered not playing. "There wasn't a chance I was going to miss my wedding to play in the semifinal but, thanks to the tournament directors and the referee, they managed to move it. I was begging them, it was a big discussion we had. "It's great as the tennis will take my mind off the wedding, but the wedding will also take my mind off the tennis. I'd probably recommend getting married the same day as a match to all tennis players..."
