Disgraced cricketer David Warner and his wife Candice were spotted at the Australian Open tennis in Melbourne on Friday.
After a tumultuous 2018, during which David was slapped with a year-long suspension over the ball tampering scandal, the couple were no doubt hoping for a fresh start to the year.
However, David, 32, was injured, and had his right arm in a bright red sling.
