Vansh Vermani and Owen Lewis talked about the recent Djokovic chapter — the mistakes he made, the mistakes Australian governmental organizations made, and why we absolutely should not look to athletes for absolute political, social, or medical guidance. Plus some speculation on how Djokovic’s now-likely absence will affect the ATP side at the Australian Open. Here are links to listen:
Tennis and Bagels: The Djokovic Saga
Published by Owen
Owen has been a tennis fan since Roland-Garros in 2016. Initially a Federer fan, his preferences evened out the more tennis he watched and the more he learned. He started a blog (https://racketblog.com/) in early 2019. In the summer of 2021, he got a media credential at the ATP 250 event in Newport, Rhode Island, and got to talk to a few players, including former world No. 5 Kevin Anderson and rising star Jenson Brooksby. Owen will argue to the death that the 2009 Australian Open semifinal between Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco is the greatest match ever, he hates that one-handed backhands are praised so often for their subjective elegance (sucking praise away from the more effective two-handers), and he thinks the best part of tennis is its scoring system, the mental and physical challenge not far behind.
