We're here to wrap the 2019 Australian Open: crowning a new WTA number 1 and watching Novak make history with his 15th major. Petra Kvitova came close to her first major off grass, Rafa Nadal stunned until he didn't, and the ATP Next Gen inched forward; while one member of the WTA Next Gen won 2 straight majors and took over the sport entirely. Stick around for a critique of "race science," the minefield of Naomi's racial identity, and why the locker room needs to remain private (oh hi, John McEnroe).
02:30 Naomi Osaka becoming the woman to beat
10:30 Petra! Don't call it a comeback!
17:00 The other women's late-stage women's matches: Pliskova's improved movement, Serena's loss
22:45 Why do y'all want us to drag Danielle Collins?
30:00 Men's final: Novak raises his level to neutralize Nadal's strengths
41:45 Other happenings on the men's side: Tsitsipas stared into the abyss and doesn't like what he sees
44:00 Stosur & Zhang win doubles title - Zhang's first major and Stosur's first Aussie
46:20 When what happens in the locker room doesn't stay in the locker room
49:00 Talking about black athletes with race pseudoscience
57:30 John McEnroe's naked obsession with Rafa's naked body ... wtf?
63:00 Men's tennis manspreading into women's tennis -- how microaggressions become a 50-year pattern
