  • Welcome to the 2024 Australian Open Wrap-Up, where we're taking a swing at all the happenings Down Unda!

    Aryna Sabalenka was on a mission, which fueled her success to the finish line. Jannik Sinner's comeback to win the final was a masterclass in composure and self-belief, proving that tennis is as much a mental game as it is physical.

    In a surprising twist, Rohan Bopanna danced into the record books as the oldest number one doubles Grand Slam winner at the ripe age of 43. Who says age slows you down in tennis?

    However, it wasn't all sunshine and lighthearted banter. Controversies stole the spotlight. The ATP faced criticism (not only by us) for its unclear policies and lack of accountability in handling domestic violence and sexual assault investigations.

    So, what's the solution? We're calling for external investigations and independent oversight to ensure a fair and just playing field. It's time for players, fans, and organizations to team up for accountability.

    Stay tuned for more court-side antics and serious discussions as we call for tennis to DO BETTER.

  • Welcome to the Mid-Tournament Kiki, where we spill the tea hotter than a malfunctioning ball machine! 🎾💥 This week on the courts, the women's side is serving up so many surprises, with teenage players rising faster than my anxiety during a match point. Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka are sailing through and looking fierce.

    On the men's side, Novak Djokovic is not just chasing the ball; he's chasing his 25th Grand Slam win like it's the last slice of pizza at a tennis-themed pizza party.

    Meanwhile, the comebacks of Naomi Osaka, Emma Radicanu, and Rafa Nadal are as unpredictable as a bouncing tennis ball on a clay court.

    Day five of the tournament was wilder than a kangaroo on a pogo stick, featuring OMG moments that left us gasping like we just hit an unexpected drop shot. And did we mention the longest tie break in Grand Slam history?

    But wait, there's more! Upsets have hit harder than a tennis ball to the face, with Iga Swiatek and Elina Svitolina making an early exit. It's like the tournament turned into a reality show where no one saw the plot twist coming.

    And let's not forget about those gendered expectations. Women tennis players are not just athletes; they're expected to be superhuman multitaskers, balancing motherhood and acing serves. It's like they're playing tennis with a baby strapped to their back. Can we give them a break and let them focus on winning without juggling diapers?

    So grab your popcorn, folks, because the Mid-Tournament Kiki is where tennis and comedy collide – no racquets were harmed in the making of this podcast, we promise! 🎾🤣
