  • Ep. 142 - Alcaraz makes HISTORY at AO / Australian Open Recap (2026)
    Feb 3 2026

    This week Erik and Aidan recap the final few rounds of the Australian Open, which is where the tournament really started to get interesting. Despite nearly all the top seeds making it through to the quarterfinals, most of the matches were blowouts until the semis. It was then that we started to see some excellent matches, starting off with the marathon match between Zverev and Alcaraz, a truly gutsy performance. Then came Djokovic's shock victory against Sinner, a result nobody could have expected. Then a Final with history on the line for both players, with Alcaraz emerging as the youngest player to ever complete the career grand slam. Be sure to check back next week for another episode!

  • Ep. 141 - Was Sinner's Match RIGGED? / Australian Open Rounds 3 and 4 Reaction
    Jan 27 2026

    This week Erik and Aidan discuss rounds 3 and 4 of the Australian Open and preview what’s to come in the quarterfinals. The tournament has seen the majority of the top seeds dominate, as 7 of the the top 8 seeds made the quarterfinals. The remaining player, Learner Tien, has been the story of the tournament, making the QF as the No. 25 seed, and upsetting Daniil Medvedev in his path. These final few rounds should feature some massive matchups, with top 10 players clashing in their path to the final. The guys also discuss the controversial third round win of Jannik Sinner over Elliot Spizziri, where an argument has been made that the tournament closed the roof mid match in order to give Sinner a chance to recover and get back into the match. Be sure to check back next week for another episode!
