So we are opening the 2023 pro tennis season with our Australian Open 2023 wrap up! It was a long tournament in some respect but it is apparent that our love and interest in the sport seem to be waning.
As always we got into our feelings on this matter. Can we really remain those committed fans as before with so much going on and the messy coverage of the sport? We spoke about that as well as the state of the men's game. Is Nole really injured or extremely injured? What of Sabalenka's rise to the top? It was a spirited discussion filled with love and laughter. I love us so much!!
Don't forget that the discussion continues and you can tell us how you really feel!!! We're on Twitter @A_Gallivant (Andreen), @JLR78 (Janina) and @RealzTenisFanz (Realz)!! You can find this episode on Podbean, iTunes, Google, Spotify or wherever podcasts can be heard and downloaded

We wouldn't be this podcast IF we didn't continue out special of reviewing the new Black Panther film! And of course we invited two of our favourite friends to come on in and discuss the movie, from Geeks Unleashed (@GeeksUnleashed) Jaz (@fiorebianca) and from Block Central "O" (@olutrain). Of course we have your usual suspect, Andreen (@A_Galivant), Janina (@JLR78) and Realz (@RealzTenisFanz).
We went in on this movie ... we talk for as long as the movie. I will add no spoilers here but we are all eager to hear from you all and what you thought of the movie!!

We would not be the RealzTenisFanz Podcast if we did not do a special episode on the legacies of both Roger Federer and Serena Williams. We are after all the Federer of Tennis Podcast; the Serena of Sounds! So here is that episode. I am sure there will be another episode where we get to celebrate with a RTFLivecast! We are nothing without you FANZ!!
For this episode we invited Howard Bryant, ESPN Sports Journalist and favourite guest on the show, to keep us honest and on track as we discuss these two giants of the sport. Our fondest memories, their defining traits and their enduring contributions.
We hope that you will enjoy this episode and share in the fun.

It is Wimbledon time again and fortunately there are no more slipping and falling on the grass. However, on the other hand, there is no Federer.... but he was on Centre Court!! Why is there even a tournament? Nonetheless, this is a major so we are here for it.
Things got very spicy as we discussed the Serena sighting, Nick's tactic or tactless and Wimbledon's covid policy or lack there of. is Divadal really gonna take this grand slam As always we are getting into it as only we can.

We do not have the audacity to say we are back because we might end up going missing again. But we decided to get together to talk about what is happening in the world of professional tennis seeing as we tried to put the French Open in some context. Yet so much has happened in our absence.
The WTA lost their No. 1 but gained a new one. What does this mean? Coco is a star but she is not a major winner. Rafael Nadal is on a tear like it is 2010 again. He has won his 14th French Open title and 22nd major overall. Meanwhile should Felix be wanting his money back and a new coach? We would not be us without asking what of this Russian/Belarussian ban of Wimbledon.

Sooooo Andreen and Janina decided to go vacationing without moi, Realz and they even brought along their friend Jaz! The audacity!!! What's even more maddening is that they have a great time and sent me pictures of their adventures!
Well you get to hear all about it on this episode of the podcast as they were there allegedly for a tennis event, ATP 500 Acapulco. Though it turns out that not everyone there had tennis on her mind.
The ladies gave us all El Tea in Mexico. Should we even bother to cross the border for this event? What's there to do, see and eat? What of the Mexican waters? What's hotter, the men, the air or the sand? Of course no episode is complete without us getting into another tennis "controversy"!
We wanna thank @fiorebianca (Jasmin/Jaz) for hanging with us on this episode and keeping Janina in check!!!

We are finally here at the end of the Australian Open 2022! I am not sure if this event really should have happened in the first place but no one is paying for my thoughts not even a penny. We wrapped up this uneventful extravaganza with with a local champ and a perennial one. Barty and Divadal!!
We discuss the finals ... at least the ones we watched and discuss what it means to be at 21.

Look at us being very consistent for the beginning of the year! We are back with another exciting episode for the middle of the major report of the Australian Open 2022. Do we miss Novaxx? Have our draws survived? Matches that mattered? Who do we see getting to lift Norman and Dauphne trophies at the end? Also what about the fashion? And of course we get into a bit of hot topics with Peng Protest at the Open plus Novaxx is gonna sue?
****I will provide the actual tracking later on but we start with the ladies for about 50 minutes, then the men for another 40 and then roll into the fashion, hot topics and speedily end off with who we see taking it all.****

Well we can officially begin to try and enjoy the Australian Open 2022 edition after much delay in the draws and order of play. We all know the reason for this, the absence of the world's male number 1 player, Novak Djokovic. So in honour of his untimely departure, we decided to turn our latest draw show into a Djoker celebration. We break down both the men and women's draws with notable Djokovic's vibes, moments, quality and stats.
We start with the ladies of course and finish off with the men! Who are your picks? What does your draws look like for the Round of 16? Let us know in the comment sections and of course on Twitter!
