We made it. After a month of concern, PCR tests, and just overall dread, we have arrived at the start of the 2021 Australian Open. On the show this week, Simon and Devang give their draw previews and predictions for 2021’s first Grand Slam. The ATP and WTA are broken down into tiers and we predict how this major will go for Nadal, Djokovic, Serena, Halep and Osaka. They’ll also examine the latest finals disappointment for Felix Auger-Alliasime, this time at the hands of Dan Evans. Plus: Jannik Sinner and Dani Medvedev make major statements at the best time.
