"The last few months have been a lot but being back in Perth with family has really helped me reset for 2026," she told the Herald Sun.
Neale said it was the first time she'd ever attended the Australian Open and she was excited to be there.
"Honestly I'm loving being back in Melbourne and watching another sport," she added.

The Perth-based hairdresser, who confirmed her split from AFL star husband Lachie Neale on January 2, shared some snaps of her outfit before arriving at the tennis precinct on Tuesday evening.
"Girls just wanna have fun.. at the AO 💕," she captioned a series of Instagram photos.
Neale opted for a two-piece matching set from Aussie label Viktoria and Woods in pale pink, comprising a corset-style bustier top and Bermuda shorts.
Her trip to Melbourne comes days after she signed with talent management company One DayDream.

Her appearance at the Australian Open is her first big public event since her split from Brisbane Lions star Lachie dominated headlines over the New Year period.
She initially denied reports they were "working through" issues in an Instagram post.
"I have been betrayed in the most unimaginable way. All I can do now is try to heal and do what's best for my children," she wrote.
"Thank you for the love and support. x Jules."
Lachie then confirmed the separation while addressing the media.
"I have let my family down, and I apologise for my actions which have hurt those closest to me. For that I am deeply sorry," he said.
Lachie added that he had to "accept" the consequences of his actions, but was focused on rebuilding trust with Neale because the wellbeing of their children remained their biggest priority.
"I'm extremely disappointed in myself, and I've put plans and measures in place to work on myself so I can be the best version of myself moving forward," he added.
