Description
It was a weekend of records in the world of tennis. Rohan Bopanna was ranked No. 1 in Men's Doubles.  This makes him the oldest to have been ranked No. 1. At the grand age of 43, when many others slow down and often retire from the game, Bopanna seems to only get fitter and stronger.  The same weekend, a young Jannik Sinner from Italy won the Australian Open Men's singles title at the age of 22, making him the youngest to win this title. More than 50 years had passed since an Italian had won a Grand Slam. Sinner had become a hero in Italy overnight. Sinner was greeted by an ebullient crowd, when he flew back home. Listen to the full episode to hear stories about both of them. Co-host: Arjun Desai, 6th grader from Mumbai, India. Arjun loves football, but also follows tennis.
