Ricki-Lee, Tim & JoelTennis legend and host of Tipping Point Todd Woodbridge finally joins us in studio—and we couldn’t be more pumped. He’s basically the fourth member of the show (we watch him on the telly every day while we broadcast), so it was only fair we roped him into a chaotic round of Quick Draw. There’s chat about clay courts (boo), Wimbledon dreams (yay), and yes, Joel might be appearing in a celebrity edition of Tipping Point soon... 👀 Don’t miss the behind-the-scenes goss, rogue contestant tales, and who actually won Quick Draw.
Our next guest is a tennis legends all Todd would Bridge and broadcast Legends.
On the biggest stage in tennis, Ricky.

But most of all we loved Bridge.
Oh my gosh, where am I looking as my camera?
We're so excited to finally have.

We all love you.
You're the fourth member of our show.
How is it right, Yes, silent member.
Yes, we can never hear what you're saying, but it looks like you do a great job.
Yeah, you always look good. You can hear a word you're saying.
I love this. Just in case you don't know who I am.
Oh no, no, I've.
Just putting my visitors sticker on with my picture and my knees.
Oh yes, Bridge, thank you very much, because very much.
Have you heard Have you heard that that Joel has another name for you?
No?
I sometimes slush every time. Get you mixed up with pack.
Hash got cash every day.
I'll be like, Pat looks great on the Telly today.
But put my visitor.
And then the way you just put your glasses on over your headphones. I'm really glad you wear glasses on TV.
Excited, I just like they can go this way?
Can you do what I'm assuming you're required to do a lot of times is just give us the twenty second rundown of what tipping point is? What are the rules?
Gee, I've got to remember my line because we scream in here every day watching which.
Segment do we want?
Are we?
Are we?
You know?
In this round? This founder you got thirty seconds answer as many questions as the buzzer. Yeah yeah?
Which Channel nine is basically the news and tipping point?
Yeah yeah.
It just goes one into the other, into the other, into the other, and then the Today Show gets around, then back to the news.
I mean, it's it's good. Hey, you know, there's a little bit of a secret. I don't know if are we allowed to talk about it. I have done a bit of reconnaissance. Alexandra, my PR boss out here is not aware, but I have done it. And are you too aware that this man maybe starring in a celebrity edition to come later this year.
We might never been more excited for anything that he's ever done.
My dreams have come true.
I love the show.
That's all I'm allowed to say.
And also, firstly, it's Joel, So as soon as he does anything, he tells us straight away, as soon as he's been booked to do anything.
That's all I can give is that he's a little wicked in it.
Don't roll yourized him?
That makes sense?
No, No, we don't have another one, Ricky.
Do see anyone that wears Khaki? Is like, aren't Lydia.
You real?
Lidia?
Yeah, this is new too.
Maybe I shouldn't have warn it.
Now you look great, beautiful. You're great every day on Telly because we're not a judgmental show, so we see you. You look fantastic. You know, you're you're running that tipping point machine like you know, like you're you're at the top casino in Vegas. And then we like to sort of just have feedback on the different contestants that are on the screen. Obviously we can't hear them, we can just see them. He's been the most bonkers contestant you've had, We've had.
You yeah, yeah, flamboyant too much.
I know someone else was on my episode. I don't think that is true.
You know, the whole thing about the premise of the show and White's works so well, is just the broad spectrum of people that we do get on. And I think about winners. I was asked this recently. We had Travis who was eighteen. He came in in hiss like almost silly goose shirt like that you've got on. It was it was ducks and whatever, and he wins fifty grand and that was one of our early epps, and here was just awesome. And then we had eighty five year old Lucky Lynn who won the jacket Ron and she also won a trip to the mold Eaves and I said, take a picture for us, Lynn when you're in the Moldie. She said, I will, but I promise you I won't wear my bikini.
Launch.
Yeah, so you know. And then and then I've had a couple who do you know, I basically like all the contestants, but I have had a couple that were a little bit rough, and I thought, don't you wreck my show?
Yeah, we had one guest a week, and we feel that sometimes, so all right, you got to be good. Hey, can I talk to you about tennis fre quickly? Because Rowan Garrass is on at the moment you're commatacting with Ulana Dockic. But it is twenty five. When are we going to get rid of the clay because it's like the play slow.
I hated the clay to really bad for you, white shoes.
And socks, rolling Garross is underweight. The clay was a surface I disliked. I liked. I liked the grassself, the clay.
You're still doing this. It's twenty twenty five. His grass is the posh one it is, yeah, but clays are like, what are we doing here? Yeah?
Put something down the Yeah, we.
Makeing ash trays. How times have changed that you get to commentate the basically the French Open but from Australia. Yeah, I'm sure there was a time where you could have been there in Melbourne.
Yes, and I love the two best commentations, I truly I love.
My How often do you make mistakes? A bit? I'm just getting back into the Tennessee and groove again. We've had about, you know, four month break and I first night come out of the ad breaking Hello and welcome back to the Australian Open.
Right, I've been there before we get to the rules. Then, just while we're on tennis, who are we looking out for? Who's one to watch? Not just necessarily at rolling Garrass, but who's our top all star and female star at the moment.
In os Well we got Alex dimmon Our top ten.
Yeah.
And for rolland Garros, he slipped back from eight to nine in the in the rankings in the week that they've done this draw and that was a bit painful for him because he's ended up in Yannick Sinner's section of the draw, so he has not got a good head to head there. But in the men's side, you're looking at our Karaz and Sinner number one, number two in the world.
Is unbelievable to watch.
And if they gets he's gone, where's the fan? And if they get to the fire, first time they'll have ever played in the Grands and Fire and the tennis they play for me is ridiculous. I watch it and think that I must have been someone with learner pleats.
Oh please, you're amazing, and just my I love Saberlenka. How do you think she's gonna go?
She's got She's a favorite, absolute favorite tender. Yeah she's she's good, but she don't get in the waiver.
That's why I like her.
She gives me that serena vibe that i'm.
Yeah, yeah, I got in the way last year. Really, I walked onto her practice score. I had it booked by the way. I was about to go and have a hit with Sam Stozer and I came on a few minutes too early and she was practicing a servant. She just looked at it was indoors because they and I turned around. I thought. I started to backpedal to get off the court and I couldn't open the door. She just yelled at me pushing. She just goes push the door.
Tipping Point of Australia is just wrapped up for tonight, but you can catch up on nine Now and of course the Travel Guide specials on nine now as well. And I would like to introduce you to a game that's been going longer than Tipping Point. I'm sorry.
