The pair discusses the 2021 season, beginning with the news on scheduling and protocols at the 2021 Australian Open; how tennis has held up in this strange year; how players and agents have dealt with the sport&#39;s shutdown and the pandemic; why Eisenbud does not agree with the WTA&#39;s China policy and much more.
