Rennae and our cultural attaché Andrea Petkovic are in Melbourne and ready to bring us daily dispatches from Down Under. Sign into your Jannick Sinternet and let's go Day 1 Recap: Dino “Thigh” Primiz gets physical with Novak, Maria Sakkara wins her first Slam first rounder in about a year, and Sabalenka turns up serving bombs and running and gunning. Plus, some late-set heroics from Rublev, a solid showing from Leylah Fernandez and the return of clean ball striking—with explainer to boot of what exactly that even means—from Amanda Anisimova.  Hosted on Acast.
