Week 1 of AO 2024 produced some remarkable moments: from Novak Djokovic’s first-round survival of dynamite qualifier Dino Prizmic to Anna Blinkova’s extraordinary record-breaking tiebreak against Elena Rybakina, from the seed-slaying heroics of Mirra Andreeva and Linda Noskova to Andrey Rublev’s “Scary Movie” marathon against Alex de Minaur — the first eight days had something for everyone, so let’s revisit some of the highlights!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What happens when tennis and fun collide at high speeds? The answer is: Pod Laver Arena. It’s tennis news, hot gossip and a bevy of unforced errors, hosted by comedians Mike Goldstein and Lizzy Hoo. We chat to the world’s best players, explore the AO with an ‘all access pass’, and probably get into shouting matches with fans. So talc up your thighs and charge into the net, this is Pod Laver Arena! Putting the ‘fun’ in tennis ‘fundamentals’… or something.
