Today on TTT, I preview the 2023 Australian Open. I break down the draws by quarter, give my second week picks, shoutout the grand slam debutants, provide the TV schedule, and take a live look at the Day 1 OOP. Player audio timestamps: Coco Gauff 18:25, Iga Swiatek 26:43, Rafael Nadal 38:05, Nick Kyrgios 55:16. Hype music is from old ESPN tennis broadcasts. Let's enjoy the first major of the year!

On today's podcast, I break down Alex De Minaur's 3-6, 6-1, 7-5 victory against Rafael Nadal, examine Alexander Zverev's psyche and Taylor's Fritz's form in a 6-1, 6-4 rout for the American, read all the January 2 scores, preview the January 3 schedule, and struggle mightily to pronounce the names of players.

Tripp and Bill preview the 2023 tennis season live in-person. Topics discussed include our predictions for Year-End #1, who will win majors and how many will they win, breakout player of the year, and some prop-bet-style questions, such as guessing if The Big 2 will still be playing in 2024.

The exits of Stefanos Tsitsipas, Taylor Fritz, and Simona Halep, among others, signal that many players have a genuine chance to win this tournament. Serena Williams looked very comfortable tonight and she gets at least one more singles match. Thiem isn’t quite ready to come out of the oven yet but he can get there. It’s Day 1 in New York and major tournament tennis is back!
Kyrgios beat Kokkinakis 6-3, 6-4, 7-6. I don’t think I said that on the air. No Drama Nick! I didn’t even think about him much today! Nick Kyrgios, TCB…
Thanks for listening.

Borna "Born Again" Coric and "Sweet" Caroline Garcia are your singles winners for Cincinnati 2022. I apologize for the obligatory puns and will do better next time.
Borna Coric absolutely punished the yellow spheroid this week. Stefanos Tsitsipas has some issues he needs to work out. Caroline Garcia exhibited a great deal of poise. Petra Kvitova didn't leave with a trophy but still had a great week.
Plus - I read US Open advertisements! Also the schedule for qualifying week.
THANKS for listening. Time for a few days off.

Rain, rain, go away! Come again another day (actually please don't). Showers and thunderstorms impacted the Western & Southern Open on Saturday but in the end, the tournament completed the entire order of play. Awesome!
Petra Kvitova came back to break down Madison Keys' game 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 in a high-stakes, high-quality, and rain-uninterrupted match. Caroline Garcia beat Aryna Sabalenka and Mother Nature 6-2, 4-6, 6-1. Stefanos Tsitsipas saluted Daniil Medvedev 7-6, 3-6, 6-3. The (Borna) Coric Train rolled right past Cameron Norrie 6-3, 6-4.
Ram/Salisbury and Puetz/Venus advance to the finals. Ostapenko and Kichenok are the women's doubles champions. Will there be tennis on Sunday? Get the squeegees ready.
