With the first round of the Australian Open main draw finally complete, Ben and Tumaini got together to discuss some of the biggest moments and stories. We discussed the women first, starting with Naomi Osaka's big fashion moment (and her interview with Ben), the tournament's failure to supply seats to meet the massive crowd demand for Alexandra Eala, the impressions Oleksandra Oliynykova made on court and in the press room, plus the veterans Venus Williams and Karolina Pliskova. On the men's side, we discussed Frances Tiafoe's turnaround, as well as a bit on Taylor Fritz, Novak Djokovic, Michael Zheng, and Italian incontinence. Thank you for listening!

In "Serving Aces", Alexandra Stevenson and co-host Hugues Laverdiere talk first day at US Open. They have a play by play at the end of Medvedev's five set loss, and their break out stars at the US Open. Alexandra talks about possible matchups and chooses Eala and Fonseca and Korda as her break out players. The discussion centers on the Gauff serve, the stringers, and the power of racquets in today's game. They touch on American women and American men, with Alexandra favoring Shelton - and Ougi favoring Mboko. Alexandra questions Ougi on all North American players and his take on each of them. The podcast has a truly sound quote of the day from John McEnroe that easily tells what Medvedev and all players feel at some point..."The thrill of winning is not as great as the pain of losing." While watching Medvedev pound and break his racquet, this quote is eloquent. Alexandra gives a shout out to the college football season starting this week and the NFL on Sept 4.
