The Day After a Slam
Rennae and Andrea break down the business end of the Australian Open, featuring a recap of the glorious matchups between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, Sinner's dominant Slam performance (and what it will take for Zverev to win one) as well as the story of the tournament: Madison Keys romp to victory.
How to Start Planning for Your Trip to the Australian Open
We at Racquet take our curatorial role to bring the best stories, ideas and experiences your way with extreme dedication. It's in this spirit, then, that we offer scenes and how-tos for making your visit to The Happy Slam, a, well, happy one. We sent our features editor Wendy Laird to Melbourne, where she met up with Australian photographer Chris Caporaso to capture scenes in and around the grounds. If this doesn't get you excited to visit the fourth Slam during Aussie Summer, we don't know what will.

Broadcasting School
Rennae brings fellow ESPN commentator Caroline Wozniacki to the pod for the first time to catch up with her comeback, a recap of the Coco Gauff/Paula Badosa match and her predictions for the rest of the tournament. Then Joan Rivers/Andrea Petkovic recaps Aryna Sabalenka’s slugfest against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, chides the Australian tv pundit Tony Jones over his Novak Djokovic taunts and asks the most important question: Should we all go to broadcasting school?
Alyssa Low Has Always Blended Arts & Athletics
Alyssa Low is a multidisciplinary artist who—with a background in collegiate soccer and a well-established practice in murals and public art installations—has seen her work blanketing the Chicago skyline. She has teamed up with the Chicago Bulls, Chicago Blackhawks and the Chicago Fire FC to create collectibles that highlight her geometric designs and riotous colorways. Naturally, we thought it was high time she got into tennis so we asked her to create our first Lunar New Year collection. Usher in the Year of the Snake with our Racquet LNY drop: a tote, tee and poster series highlighting Alyssa’s striking and playful designs.
