Our daily AO recap podcast comes to an end—and sitting in for esteemed Cultural Attaché Andrea Petkovic while she's on a plane home is Caitlin, who does her best German accent. Hats off to edgelord Daniil Medvedev, who played more tennis than anyone else this tournament, and to an incredible effort from Jannik Sinner (Andrea says her wifi is Jannik Sinternet, and we believe her) who is now on the level. We assess who's fuming and prepping for the next tournaments and give a hearty thanks to the many, many, many listeners who reached out and gave the show love—we'll try to do more daily episodes!

With personal anecdotes featuring chopped linden trees, Justine Henin's post-championship serve-and-volley practice, and some harsh words for the women who could've prepped better coming into the Australian.
