The Body Serve is back with our 6th annual (!) Australian Open preview. We break down the soon-to-be-broken draws, key first round match-ups, the dozens of floaters in the women's bracket, and whether the Big 3 stranglehold shows any signs of ending (it doesn't). We also cover the Australian Open's reliably unique approach to internationally accepted science, with their roll-out of a new air quality policy.
2:30 The Australian Open draw ceremony ... err, Power Point presentation?
8:40 Breaking down the women's draw, starting with the Serena-Venus-Naomi-Dayana-Coco-etc quarter
21:55 Women's bottom half - a tough out for #2 Pliskova in a fascinating fourth quarter
31:00 A few probably wrong predictions
32:00 Men's draw: Nadal and Medvedev's paths; Kyrgios, Zverev, Ruby, Dominic, and so much speculation
39:20 Men's bottom half: Djokovic and Federer stuck with each other
46:55 James takes you through the Australian Open's new bespoke air quality policy, "inspired" by science
54:10 Et ceteras: union talks rear their head again, Sir Andy injury, GoFundMe update
