Meltdowns and lockdowns, the perfect way to sum up Round 3 action at the Aussie Open. We discuss Melbourne’s “snap lockdown” and its impact on the tournament, as well as Andy Murray’s success in Italy in Hot Headlines. In Tennis Talk, we discuss some notable matches from Round 3, including Hsieh vs. Errani, Williams vs. Potapova, Djokovic vs. Fritz, and Kyrgios vs. Thiem. As question marks remain surrounding Djokovic’s injury, we take a look at the draw to see which top seeds and which dark horses (watch out for Milos, Stef, Matteo, and Jennifer!) we think are making it through to the semifinals on both the ATP and WTA side. Don’t miss out on our preview of some of the most exciting Round of 16 matches, including Muguruza vs. Osaka, Sabalenka vs. Williams, Berrettini vs. Tsitsipas, and Thiem vs. Dimitrov. Listen for the tennis, stay for the laughs!
