Summary

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.
