In this week’s Out Wide Podcast, Stef and Resh serve up a volley of hot takes and laughs as they break down the drama, triumphs, and fashion statements from Week 1 of the Australian Open 2025. They dish on the WTA's standout stars, including Coco Gauff flexing her tennis muscles, Destanee Aiava turning heads with her on-court vintage couture, and Emma Navarro fighting through marathon three-setters like a champ. On the men’s side, American Learner Tien stunned everyone by schooling Daniil Medvedev, and Gael Monfils is proving that age is just a number—he’s 38 and still busting moves on the court. They also throw in spicy predictions for the upcoming matches and shine a light on tennis’s rising stars, all while keeping things refreshingly un-serious.
