The Grand Slams are back and so are we! As we struggle to figure out a recording schedule for the Australian Open that includes time for us to sleep, we make sure to recap all the action from last week while looking forward to the big matches coming this week. As we start previewing the AO draws, we lay out our predictions for the tournament and start discovering common themes like the success of Italians on the men’s side and veterans proving they’re here to stay on the women’s side. We have high hopes for a certain Swiss and a dominant Japanese star, and we wonder about the potential of a few Canadians and an up-and-coming Italian teen. Stick with us while we take it down under to cover the tennis Down Under.
