Will Jannik Sinner retain the Australian Open?

Posted on January 17, 2025 by A. J. Riot

As this year’s Australian Open gets into full swing, all eyes are on Jannik Sinner, the reigning champion and current world number one.

The 23-year-old Italian enters the tournament as the favourite with the Australian Open 2025 odds, riding high on the momentum of a breakthrough season that saw him capture two Grand Slam titles and establish himself as one of the sport’s elite.

Sinner’s meteoric rise has been the product of a relentless work ethic, mental fortitude, and a game that combines power, precision, and an unyielding desire to improve.

In this article, we look at why Sinner is once again among the favourites for glory in the Rod Laver Arena. and how he achieved greatness down under in 2024.

Posted on December 28, 2024 by Heather

Jason Eller is the founder of StrikeCoach and he had a vision that started out like so many game changing innovations. The idea of StrikeCoach was birthed from a few simple questions. Jason Eller who was a certified personal trainer and boxing coach at the YMCA at the time was training a client on the heavy bag who asked, “If this bag were a person where would I be hitting them, and how hard would I be striking them?” It was a true light bulb moment. After training a few more clients Jason went home and immediately drew some informal drawings visually describing the idea that is now StrikeCoach, a training mannequin that combines footwork and force detection, creating an unparalleled interactive data driven full body cardiovascular workout.
