Episode Notes

Points to Defend is back with the first episode of 2021! The 'Day at the Drive' exhibition saw the best of the best line up in front of a sold out crowd in Adelaide, giving us all a glimpse that there is an end in sight! The tag-team of Djokovic and Krajinovic (thanks to an unlikely hand blister plaguing the world no.1) lined up against the exciting Jannik Sinner, whilst Serena Williams and Naomi Osaka saw their 2018 US Open final replayed in hot sun of Australia. Nadal and Thiem took to the court for the first match of the night session quickly followed by world no.1 and no.2 Ash Barty and Simona Halep, the former making her first appearance since the Australian Open last year. We also looked ahead at the two WTA events happening in Melbourne this week, with top names appearing at both Gippsland and Yarra Valley - the stacked line up giving no clue as to who's winning either one. The ATP Cup returns with the world's best players representing their countries, and we pick our favourites to win each group and the strongest players to miss out (we see you Sinner). Finally, a bit of quarantine drama, because this tennis lot can't seem to stay out of the spotlight at the moment. 

A Day in the Drive: 0:00 - 13:48

WTA Events: 13:48 - 16:56

ATP Cup: 16:56 - 26:56 

Quarantine Drama: 26:56 - 37:09
