I don’t pretend to know the first thing about tennis. Frankly, I didn’t even know the Australian Open was going on this week.
If we’re being honest, my tennis knowledge is basically Pete Sampras, Andre Aggasi, and the fact that it’s just a giant game of ping pong. That’s about it.

Yes, fine. Go ahead and insert your sex joke here. That’s cool.

Jon Wertheim: This marks the fourth anniversary of Andy Murray’s quasi-retirement. His cheerful exit from the 2019 Australian Open, when the tournament went so far as to produce a farewell video, well…how silly that looks today. Murray never formally retired.
