Arrivederci Djokovic, Medvedev's endurance and women's final's night
What a day to witness at the Australian Open. Jannik Sinner booked a spot in his first Grand Slam final, moving past the king of Melbourne Park Novak Djokovic to do so, while Daniil Medvedev mustered every bit of energy to defeat Alexander Zverev in five sets.
The team wonder if Aryna Sabalenka can be stopped by Quinwen Zheng in the women's final, as Aussies feature in the girl's and men's doubles finals as well.

Destiny fulfilled for Sabalenka and Zheng, tantalising men's semis ahead
The women's final is set. Can Aryna Sabalenka be felled by Qinwen Zheng after both won through to the Australian Open final? Can Novak Djokovic see off the young challenger in Jannik Sinner? The team also discuss the contrasting fortunes for Australians in doubles, while workshopping ways to improve the doubles experience.

Alcaraz exits in the shock of the tournament
There is a lot to discuss following Carlos Alcaraz's shock exit to Alexander Zverev. What went wrong for Alcaraz? Could Zverev make the Australian Open final?
Quinwen Zheng jumps into the WTA top 10 by making it into the semi-final, and the trio look at her musical opponent in tonight's match. Catherine, John and JA also chat with excitement about the enticing semi between Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff.

A revealing interview between Djokovic and Kyrgios, while Gauff goes through
Coco Gauff wins despite playing her ‘C-game’ while Novak Djokovic books in a semi-final with Sinner — but did he try to intimidate his opponent in a very revealing post-match interview with Nick Kyrgios? The duo’s victories send the Australian Open night session to another late finish but despite the lack of sleep, Catherine Murphy, John Millman and John Alexander have popcorn at the ready ahead of the next instalment of quarter finals.

Court Life
Loving this podcast and never want it to end. Please do the same for every grand slam event ! Love the banter and wit amongst the 3 of you. Really funny but insightful too . 👏🏻
Room for improvement
Catherine Murphy doesn’t know anything about tennis. I prefer other podcasts because of this. Please replace with someone more knowledgeable!
Millman’s great!
Enjoying the daily chat. Great to hear Millman’s insights and knowledge of players he knows and has played against. JA’s comments and anecdotes really date him (Bing Crosbie, Edith Piaf, Bjorg, references to 1970s matches etc), time for someone more contemporary to join Millman.
