Episode Notes

The Aus Open is done and dusted for another year, and we have our champions. Novak Djokovic makes it 18 Slams, half now coming on Rod Laver Arena, and Naomi Osaka becomes the first player in almost a decade to make it to 4 Majors.

Also during the second week we had great runs to the finals from Medvedev and 'Do you prefer Jenny or Jennifer?' Brady, amazing wins from Serena before she struggled against Naomi and left people questioning whether she was retiring, match points saved by our eventual champion against Muguruza, an injured Thiem lost to a Dimitrov who then got injured and lost to Slam debutant Karatsev, who had a dream run to the semis. 

After a whole host of injuries during the AO, last year's champion Sofia Kenin revealed that she had surgery for appendicitis and ploughed through three tournaments in three weeks, despite mostly early losses, before realising.

And we look ahead to some of this week's ATP and WTA tournaments in Adelaide, Montpellier, Cordoba and Singapore - and another potential clash between each of our faves, this time Jamie's Jannik Sinner is projected to play Andy Murray.
