    Oct 21 2024
    It happened people. It finally happened. Aryna Sabalenka is slam champion. On a day that many thought might never happen we have a brand new slam champion on the WTA. Devang and Simon unpack the significance of her victory before turning their attention to some of the other winners from the past two weeks in Melbourne Park. We end with Parting Shots and have some choice words over the Australian Open Ball Kids policy. I wonder if Craig Tiley would accept his salary as a gift bag?

  • Open Era Gold: Melbourne — Winner Winner Carrot Sinner

    Open Era Gold: Melbourne — Winner Winner Carrot Sinner
    Sep 16 2024
    In a tale of two finals, Aryna Sabalenka made back to back Australian Opens look smooth sailing. Jannik Sinner definitely did not make easy work of it to win his first Grand Slam. All that being said, it was a jam packed second week at the first major of the year. Sin, Sabs, Bops and Hshieh headline both very much a changing of the guard and very much not a changing of the guard. Plus Parting Shots as Devang and Simon ask the age of question of whether this was actually a good tournament.
