Round 1 at this year’s Australian Open (2021) has been quite the eventful one and you can catch it all in this episode. We start off covering the more serious topics, like mental health effects on tennis that Gael Monfils recently brought light to in an emotional press conference. We then shift into some actual Round 1 tennis content. Of course, the highlights of these include the Sinner vs. Shapovalov match now known as a sneak peek of the future of men’s tennis. Then comes some much needed WTA discussion including Ashleigh Barty’s complete sweep, Bianca Andreescu’s return, and, of course, Serena William’s one-legged catsuit. Sit tight as we discuss the match-ups and meltdowns of Round 1.
