This was one of those rare finals weekends where pretty much everything we hoped for came true. A perennial fave of fans and her own coworkers, the one-time prodigy Madison Keys showed remarkable maturity and grit to win her first major title. She let go of the “need” to win a Slam, and then managed to defeat #2 Iga Swiatek and the 2-time defending champ #1 Aryna Sabalenka back-to-back. Jannik Sinner defended his title without facing a break point in the final. Tennis keeps trying to make his opponent happen, alas to no avail. Plus, we got cracker women's doubles matchups, Novak HIPAA-violating himself, and Sakkari attending the inauguration instead of winning tennis matches.
1:25 GoFundMe update: Thank you!!!
6:05 Once a tween prodigy, then a best-never-to-win, now a Slam winner
12:05 Madison said therapy works … can’t argue with that
27:50 After a diversion, a few more notes on the women’s draw
33:40 The ceaseless pushing, literal and figurative
38:00 “Australia believes Olya and Brenda”
46:45 Ben Shelton v. the media
53:05 Women’s doubles: SMASH on the girls
62:25 Call me OptaAce because I’ve got stats
