Novak is official out of the AO2022, as the judge upheld the revocation of his visa. He was whisked to the airport and boarded a flight back to Dubai. While certainly the right decision for many, including the public in Australia, it no doubt leaves a hole in the draw and the tournament. The saga has no doubt overshadowed some great action already underway in the Australia in the lead up to AO2022. Jason breaks down the action on both the men's and women's side, including the wonderful story of Thanasi Kokkinakis taking his maiden title in his home town of Adelaide. He recaps wins from Monfils, Karatsev, and the continued resurgence of Andy Murray.  For the women, Halep and Anisimova take titles in Melbourne, Barty reminds us why she's world #1, and Keys and Badosa capture titles in week two of warm up events. Finally Jason shares his thoughts on what's going on with Emma Raducanu.   Kicking off Season 3 with sales on select merch from the  Ready Play Shopify store!
