Aussie stars Daria Saville and Jaimee Fourlis join Xave and Rhys de Deugd to discuss the first of our Big Questions: who’s next in line to join Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as the new ‘Big 3’ of the ATP, with some surprising answers. As Holger Rune continues his rehab from Achilles surgery, Dasha offers him some advice to avoid burnout. Inspired by Drake’s latest tennis photoshoot, Xave takes a look at the celebrities who’ve had more than a passing interest in tennis. And Vic is back with her latest AO vox pops with 36 days until Australian Open 2026.
