Daria Saville was unable to compete at the 2023 Australian Open, but a recovering Achilles’ tendon wasn’t enough to keep the Aussie away from her or dog Tofu away from their home Slam altogether.

The sport’s most dynamic Tik Tok duo descended on Melbourne Park for an epic two weeks at the Happy Slam, meeting top players like Novak Djokovic and Ons Jabeur, cheering on friends, and exploring the grounds thanks to Tofu’s adorable credential.

Check out the best posts from Tofu’s official Instagram:

It all began before first ball, when Dasha and Tofu took stock of Melbourne Park and got ready for the action.

As players arrived, the pair quickly snagged selfies with Djokovic, Coco Gauff, and Jessica Pegula (among others).

Jabeur and Elena Rybakina soon joined the fray, along with Sebastian Korda and Dominic Thiem.

Dasha and Tofu were soon showing up to court as matches got underway.

In between sets, Tofu got an epic head massage from Andrey Rublev.

Dasha immortalized the adventure in one of her signature Tik Toks, showing Tofu’s BTS tour of the Happy Slam.
