Hey Andres,

Great job on this essay!  I only noticed a few tiny mistakes, marked in red.  In blue is some wording change to make it sound more native.

Australian Open

Tennis is my favourite sport by far. I enjoy it a great deal - both playing and watching tennis. The new season has just started, meaning it’s time for Australian Open. I love Grand Slams (this is off-topic but in America, there's a cheap restaurant called Denny's that serves a huge breakfast called a Grand Slam.  I think for the majority of Americans, since they dont watch tennis, this phrase would mean you love eating at Denny's :).  So I would say "I love watching Grand Slams" to make it clear to Americans) for sure but Australia’s my favourite one. I love the courts, the facilities, the atmosphere and everything related to this tournament. I’ve been hooked on tennis these last two weeks

The time difference is relevant, that’s why I can’t stay up all night to see matches in the internet. I used to do it when I was in college. The next day though, I needed big gulps of coffee and you would find me struggling to keep myself awake in class and trying not to drift off. I crashed out more than once. My fault? Well, every now and then classes were so boring that I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I was an excellent student though: that’s why no teacher ever gave me a piece of his/her mind! Haha.

Most people were would be thinking I was either partying all night long those weeks or overstudying. None of the above! Oh, I just wish that I had those days back!...

Well, let’s go get back to Australian Open. This tournament is held in Melbourne. Players have to face the extreme heat now in on this huge island (close to 40ºC sometimes). When temperatures are soaring, little can be done in order to mitigate this warmth. At this point these competitors are at risk of dehydration in during every match. Iced towels are usually available for players during the tournament and Rod Laver Arena’s stadium features a retractable roof allowing athletes to continue playing at this hot heat. Most of the courts don’t have a closed roof though, meaning all players have to struggle with searing temperatures and stay cool between games. That’s why heat exhaustion is quite frequent on in this tournament. A coulpe of years ago, a female player, Victoria Azarenka fainted on US Open court, exhausted because of heat and dehydration.

Despite the fact that I can’t see my favourite tournament live at night most of times, I do enjoy this Grand Slam tournament. For me it’s been a tradition and every morning I have my “Australian Open breakfast” which consists of a hot tea, blueberries and yoghurt, a toast with honey and cinnnamon and cereals with raisins. I linger over breakast while watching matches’ highlights on YouTube and on Australian Open’s website. I just love the Internet!
