Candice shielded her eyes with a pair of Balenciaga shades and carried water bottles with her as she made sure to stay hydrated amid the balmy climes.
The doting mother was joined by her three daughters – Ivy Mae, 10, Indi Rae, nine, and Isla Rose, five – as they flocked for a meet-and-greet with tennis pro Aryna.

BREAKING NEWS
Good news for Nick Kyrgios as his first n Open opponent is revealed
Aryna is the hot favourite to take out the women’s crown, defending the title she won in 2023 and 2024.
Former world No.1 Ash Barty tipped Aryna for huge success this time around, but also believes American Coco Gauff and China’s Zheng Qinwen could be in the running.
‘One of the top traits she has developed is great consistency,’ she told The Age.
‘Plus, the n Open naturally suits her. Aryna is now very comfortable playing in the latter stages of slams, fitted with the right temperament.’
However, Ash picked a first-time winner to take home the title at the world-famous tennis tournament.
‘But who’s my tip to win? I’ve settled on the world No.6 and former Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina,’ she went on.
‘I think she’s ideally placed to go one better in Melbourne after being beaten in an epic three-set final against Sabalenka two years ago.’
Ash also revealed who she thinks will win in the men’s tennis this year – and she tipped a rather unlikely star.

Ahead of the n Open kicking off on Sunday, former world champion Ash Barty (pictured) has tipped two very unlikely names to win
While Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic are in the running for victory, Ash said she believes Italy’s Daniil Medvedev (pictured) will become a first-time winner this year
Italian World No.1 Jannik Sinner lifted his first Major crown at last year’s event and is the favourite to do so again this time around.
Meanwhile, Serbian ace Novak Djokovic will be aiming to claim his 25th career Grand Slam – and astonishingly, his 11th title at Melbourne Park.
However, though Ash, who won three women’s singles Grand Slam titles, believes both players will be hard to beat, she is predicting a first-time winner this year.
‘I think it’s Daniil Medvedev’s time in Melbourne,’ she told The Age. ‘Get ready. It’s going to be a massive couple of weeks.’
