So we are bidding fair adieu to the 2021 Australian Open which has crowned all their winners. We get into what had happened to Serena Williams. Many of our pundits were absolutely certain that she was going to win her 8th Aussie title and the allegedly elusive 24th major. Yet here we are at another big match up and some doppelganger Serena showed up. We get into all that matter. What of Naomi Osaka? Can we get onto this bandwagon? Will there be any fun here or just shade for days.
The major part of this episode, (from 1:22:00 mark) is devoted to the fate of black male tennis players on the tour? How can they function and flourish in an environment that is often times hostile to their mere presence?
Pablo (@anBhanna) aka the Audio Assassin has returned to wrap up the Aussie Open 2021 trilogy. We have also invited a familiar voice, Howard Bryant (@hbyrant42) for his Serena take of course but also his insights of the black male player on the professional tennis circuit. This was a very thought provoking chat. Hope you all get to the end eventually :-)
PROGRAM NOTE: Although this was a very lengthy chat, it was by no means conclusive and near comprehensive enough to be label as definitive on the matter. This will be a subject that we will be sure to bring up again and have further insight. As always, we would LOVE to hear your thoughtful comments and views on the matter. You can reach us on Twitter, email or the comment sections.
***Want to say thanks to Pablo and Howard for taking time out of their busy lives as well as forsaking sleep and an easy Sunday afternoon to be guests on this episode***
PS. We are very aware that Daniil Medvedev decided to just hand Novak Djokovic his 9th Australian Open title and in doing so making Novaxx's grand total at majors to be 18 titles. Hopefully this brings his true joy and puts him on a path to the relevant knowledge on the things he is so eager to talk about publicly.
Don't forget that the discussion can continue wherever you can find us to tell us your comments and how you really feel!!! We're on Twitter @A_Gallivant (Andreen), @JLR78 (Janina) and @RealzTenisFanz (Realz)!!
