Fading Into Her Prime

About this episode

Matte and David recap the 2026 Australian Open while discussing various sports topics and personal anecdotes.

The Tennis Tragic #069 / Fading Into Her Prime / Matte and David find a little time to recap the 2026 Australian Open... eventually! But first... Matte tries to cast a spell, and fails to influence the #1 tennis tournament for vampires. David speculates about Sinner's potential dominance in ice tennis. We talk about cramp, ski jumping, the Super Bowl, the T20 World Cup, Serena's potential comeback, people who peaked in high school, how to build a better mop, and recap the latest Upset Game.
