About this episode
The Australian Open is officially underway and we are feeling the FOMO. We get into Federer taking over Melbourne, why the One Point Slam was the best pre-tournament idea in years, and what Aussie Open Fan Week says about where tennis is headed. Then we run through Adelaide, Auckland, and Hobart winners, the WTA Next Gen wave, how the draw works, the qualifiers we’re watching, and the first-round matchups we are circling. Plus: how we’re watching from home and what’s coming next from Ground Pass, including the OFF SEASON premiere on January 18 at 4 PM ET. - https://youtu.be/0U3F4CfUsh0?si=e0kDZH3qfxfaojX7 Links:Link send us a Question - https://www.groundpasspodcast.com/voice-memoGround Pass Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/cw/GroundPassPodcastOne Point Slam video - https://www.youtube.com/live/TengZOvRTlc?si=41jm60KZfHx1lZ-N Our Draw explanation show - https://youtu.be/2-F1wmPcnLQ?si=Xu1YJk2q0xtu7u9R Chapters:00:00 Intro - Welcome to the Australian Open05:01 Recent Tournament Recap: Adelaide, Auckland & Hobart10:10 Next Gen Players Making Waves20:55 Looking back at the Australian Open Fan Week32:13 Our Australian Open Preview41:52 Spotlight on Qualifiers47:27 Exciting Matches to Watch52:26 How to Watch the Australian Open54:53 Upcoming Projects and Wrap-UpWe have Merch!!!
