  • Open Era Gold: Melbourne — Winner Winner Carrot Sinner

    Open Era Gold: Melbourne — Winner Winner Carrot Sinner
    Sep 16 2024
    In a tale of two finals, Aryna Sabalenka made back to back Australian Opens look smooth sailing. Jannik Sinner definitely did not make easy work of it to win his first Grand Slam. All that being said, it was a jam packed second week at the first major of the year. Sin, Sabs, Bops and Hshieh headline both very much a changing of the guard and very much not a changing of the guard. Plus Parting Shots as Devang and Simon ask the age of question of whether this was actually a good tournament.
