Gill Gross is joined by hall-of-famer and tennis.com writer Steve Flink to discuss the 2021 Australian Open. Topics include Novak Djokovic's impressively dominant win over Daniil Medvedev in the final, his improved serving and his tribulations fighting through an abdominal injury en route to his 9th Aussie crown. Plus, what Daniil Medvedev needs to do to take the next step in majors, takeaways from Stefanos Tsitsipas's win over Rafael Nadal in the quarterfinal, Aslan Karatsev's long-term prospects, the abundance of AO injuries and the turbulent lead-up to the tournament. Finally, they discuss the incoming return of 20-time major champion Roger Federer. Flink's latest book is Pete Sampras: Greatness Revisited.
