About this episode
It is the Grand Slam fashion episode. I am joined by Ian Mondul of 40 Love Tennis to break down the Australian Open fits that are actually moving the needle. We talk Naomi Osaka’s runway moment and why it is more tennis heritage than people think, Sabalenka’s new Gucci partnership, Musetti’s perfect Bottega era, and the brand-by-brand kit audit from Nike and Adidas to Wilson, New Balance, Lacoste, and more. Plus a quick detour into the heat drama from Sinner vs Eliot Spizzirri and why this match put Eliot on the map.Links:40Love on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fortylovetennis?igsh=ZG1na3d2ZjhvZm9kOff Season: Episode 1 - https://youtu.be/0U3F4CfUsh0?si=1LG59ziOx1V-mYfR Hardcourt Newsletter - https://substack.com/@hardcourt?r=64928&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile&shareImageVariant=lightTim Henman on TNT - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTvXne_kZDo/?igsh=MWczbnRwNHEzNGN2OQ==Chapters:00:00 Welcome and Weather Check02:29 Australian Open Day 7 Recap03:24 Stan Wawrinka's Last Match07:56 Naomi Osaka's Withdrawal09:26 Elliot Spizzirri vs. Jannik Sinner19:58 Australain Open Threads22:22 Naomi Osaka's Runway36:58 Embracing Individuality in Tennis Fashion38:26 Luxury Collaborations: A New Era in Tennis47:24 Brand by Brand break down47:40 Nike & Adidas55:27 New Balance and Yonex01:01:03 Wilson01:05:04 Lululemon and ASICS01:10:43 Fila, Lacoste & ON01:17:38 The Others - Jomo, Head, CP Company, Penguin01:24:23 Our Favorite Outfits of the TournamentWe have Merch!!!
