After some time in winter hibernation, we’re back! In this episode, we’re discussing all the action going on in Melbourne Park this week. We survey ALL SIX tournaments and the latest Hot Headlines, including the pause of play on February 3rd and Dayana Yastremska’s appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. We then transition into Tennis Talk and discuss our thoughts on the WTA and ATP competitors this week. On the WTA side, we talk about Barty's dominance, Naomi’s hiccup and comeback, Venus’ well-fought match, Bianca’s injury, and Begu and Kanepi’s breakthroughs. Heading over to our ATPers, we celebrate Nick’s return to the court, Carlos Alcaraz’s win, and the ATP Cup. Shravya fangirls over Team Italy while Josefina mourns the loss of Team Canada, and we overview the teams that have qualified for the semifinals. Stick with us while we attempt to fit two months worth of tennis into a single podcast episode, in addition to some intellectual discussions surrounding players’ TikToks and the USTA’s failure to educate tennis players on how to serve normally.
