AO Day 6 - Tequila and dreams

After the mayhem of Day 5, the Australian Open chilled out a bit on Friday with lots of one-sided matches to start the day, but it came alive as Mirra Andreeva and Adrian Mannarino mounted incredible comebacks. Those two players were - perhaps unexpectedly - the focus of the pod as Catherine, David and Matt recorded back at TP Towers in Melbourne. We also talk Taylor Fritz and Stefanos Tsitsipas, excitement for Aryna Sabalenka vs Amanda Anisimova, Jannik Sinner's impressive first week, Coco Gauff's class, and Novak Djokovic clicking into gear.
