We’ve previewed the upcoming Australian Open and picked our 8 players to follow in 2024. What’s next for Novak Djokovic was another question on our minds. Our ‘Academy’ section dissects the key to Carlos Alcaraz’s success, an frame-by-frame guide to Coco Gauff’s famous drop shot and analysis of how data is driving player’s success.
