    Stefanos Tsitsipas Drops In…

    Stefanos Tsitsipas slid into the DMs… and this guest turned out to be a bit of a blast from the past. In this episode, Stefanos opens up about navigating a challenging period, what it’s taken to feel like himself again, and why rediscovering the joy of competing has mattered just as much as results. We also get into favourite Slams, the grind and beauty of clay, and the tournament that delivers his ideal mix of tennis and escape. Off court, things get even better. Stefanos shares his pre match rituals and superstitions, tells some genuinely brilliant tour stories, and reveals what happened the first time he ever drank alcohol… alongside Rafa Nadal and Roger Federer. We talk life on tour, online trolls, blocking with enthusiasm, the realities of the tennis calendar, kit hits and disasters, and finish with quick fire calls you won’t want to miss.

    "Don't Shoot The Massager"

    In this episode, Theo and Andrea are joined by Tamara Prenn to unpack an Australian Open that felt strangely quiet - until it suddenly wasn’t. They break down why the first week and a half lacked chaos, and how the final few days completely rewrote the story: big-match drama, genuine shocks, and moments that will shape the rest of the season. From the “good for tennis” factor to what five-set grit reveals about the sport, they dig into what made the closing stretch feel so seismic. The conversation also hits the tournament’s biggest talking points: Novak’s level (and whether 25 grand slam is still a realistic goal), Carlos’s historic achievement and what it signals for the future, and the grey areas that always spark debate - from medical timeouts to the politics around coaching narratives. Plus: why the men’s field desperately needs a consistent “third man,” why the women’s game stays more unpredictable, and a fun detour into tennis’s influencer/WAG economy that’s quietly changing the ecosystem around the sport.

    High Fashion, High Drama

    At the Australian Open, the tennis has been electric, but honestly, so has everything happening around it. In this episode, we get into all the moments where sport, fashion, personality, and atmosphere collide, from surprise legend appearances and brand crossovers to headline-making outfits and players fully owning the stage. We talk Rafa’s return to Australia, the growing crossover between tennis and high fashion, Naomi Osaka’s much-debated walk-on look, and why the game increasingly feels as much about identity and presence as it does about performance. We also dig into what we’re calling the tournament’s “crowd moments” when the audience stops being background noise and becomes part of the story. From players thriving off hostile energy to ongoing debates about gamesmanship, noise, and where support tips into disruption, we explore where intensity ends and interference begins. Along the way, we reflect on why the women’s draw feels particularly gripping this year, how pressure and personality shape matches, and what all this chaos tells us about how tennis culture is evolving.

    AO Is Back

    The Australian Open is officially underway and we are fully in our Happy Slam era. In this episode we catch up on the first couple of days in Melbourne and all the reasons the AO feels like the best slam, from the city wide energy to the tournament’s constant innovation. We talk new fan experiences and tech upgrades, the opening ceremony spectacle with Federer, Agassi and Ash Barty, and why the One Point Slam was content gold and genuinely good for tennis. We also get into the actual tennis so far, including solid starts for Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka, Venus Williams fighting hard at 45, and Emma Raducanu navigating the chaos of late night scheduling. Plus, we cover the moments that already sum up this tournament: bar court drama, players yelling at rowdy crowds, ball kids fainting in the heat, and a few extremely unfortunate stomach issues. We wrap with our Final Call picks: the player we cannot stop watching, the moment that already defines this Australian Open, and the most perfectly chaotic Happy Slam thing to happen so far.

    Introducing…What’s The Call?

    On the very first episode of What’s the Call, Andrea and Theo go courtside on the return of tennis season and why the Australian Open always hits different. They break down the early Aussie swing results, who looks in form already (hello Sabalenka), and which warmup wins actually matter once the Slam pressure kicks in. They also get into the One Point Slam chaos, Djokovic stepping away from the PTPA, Carlos Alcaraz splitting with Ferrero, and the viral Nairobi wildcard moment that had tennis fans doing a double take. Plus, their first “Final Call” with Australian Open predictions, dark horses, and a few hot takes to kick things off.
