What's The Call?

At the Australian Open, the tennis has been electric, but honestly, so has everything happening around it. In this episode, we get into all the moments where sport, fashion, personality, and atmosphere collide, from surprise legend appearances and brand crossovers to headline-making outfits and players fully owning the stage. We talk Rafa’s return to Australia, the growing crossover between tennis and high fashion, Naomi Osaka’s much-debated walk-on look, and why the game increasingly feels as much about identity and presence as it does about performance.We also dig into what we’re calling the tournament’s “crowd moments” when the audience stops being background noise and becomes part of the story. From players thriving off hostile energy to ongoing debates about gamesmanship, noise, and where support tips into disruption, we explore where intensity ends and interference begins. Along the way, we reflect on why the women’s draw feels particularly gripping this year, how pressure and personality shape matches, and what all this chaos tells us about how tennis culture is evolving.Follow us on Instagram, Tiktok and YouTube @whatsthecallpod

In this special Wimbledon episode, Theo and Andrea are joined by Daily Mail sports journalist Tamara Prenn for a conversation that dives into the culture, chaos, and emotion of modern sport. Tamara shares her unconventional path into journalism — from starting a podcast during the 2018 World Cup to covering Wimbledon for a national outlet — and explains why she sees sport as a "Trojan horse" for deeper societal stories. They talk about what it’s really like inside the media centre during a Grand Slam, from tracking down viral player drama to navigating press conferences and writing through tears.The trio also unpack everything from tennis Twitter conspiracies (is that Rybakina fan account actually her boyfriend?) to Sabalenka’s redemption arc, the loneliness of the tour, and who’s quietly working with breathing coaches or therapists to level up. They reflect on chaotic Wimbledon moments — champagne corks flying, malfunctioning line calls, Dimitrov’s heartbreak — and debate what’s next for Djokovic and the sport itself. It’s thoughtful, hilarious, and a must-listen for anyone who cares more about storylines than stats.We're taking a summer break but will be back in September - we can't wait!Follow Tamara Prenn via Mail Sport and on X (formerly Twitter) at @tamaraprennFollow us on Instagram and TikTok: @chaoticallyeverafterProduced by Rutherford Productions Hosted on Acast.
