Australian Open 2024 Review

We´re reviewing all the action from the 2024 Australian Open in today´s episode.

What a way to start the year of tennis, as Aryna Sabalenka didn’t drop a set on the way to her second consecutive Australian Open title. Jannik Sinner shocked the tennis world by defeating Novak Djokovic and performing a miraculous fightback against Daniil Medvedev to lift his first ever major title, and become the youngest winner since Djokovic himself in 2008!

Here to round up the past two weeks in Melbourne alongside CTC host Dan Kiernan who was at the event, we have our panel of experts:

Denmark´s Davis Cup Captain and 2012 Wimbledon Mens Doubles Champion and (most importantly!) CTC regular Freddie Nielsen.GB Coach Calvin Betton who is currently working with Henry Pattern.

They discuss their risky picks from our Aussie Open Preview episode, whether eras really do come to an end, all of the 35 five set matches that happened over the two weeks, and whether the Australian Open has finally got it right with their 15 day schedule.

Let us know what you thought of the event and anything you would like to hear Dan discuss on the podcast about anything in the tennis world!

Join us for our First Live Show in London!

Control the Controllables is coming to London! We´re hosting our first LIVE SHOW on Friday 19th April 2024.

Join CTC Host Dan Kiernan and special guests as they debate one of the hottest topics in tennis right now: Is the new ‘Elite Tour’ good for tennis?

The new tour being proposed by the Grand Slams would see only the top 96 players compete in a reduced number of tournaments for an exponential rise in prize money.

Join us at Tileyard in London, as we discuss the biggest potential shake up we've ever seen in tennis, and what it means for those of us working in the sport.

Our amazing panel on the night will be:-
John Morris - Tennis super-agent at the heart of these discussions
Freddie Nielsen - 2012 Wimbledon doubles champion and Danish Davis Cup captain
Gaby Dabrowski - 2023 US Open champion and WTA Board Member
Calvin Betton - ATP doubles coach
