Join Catherine, David and Matt live in Melbourne to look back on media day and ahead to day one of the Australian Open. There's chat about Iga Swiatek's mindset, our excitement to see Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff's first major as a Grand Slam champion, a real mix of encouragement and worry for Emma Raducanu, whether Jannik Sinner can carry his blistering end of season form into 2024, and how long Daniil Medvedev's 'new year, new me' energy will last.
