A quick Mailbag before the 2018 Australian Open. First, housekeeping:
• Come back once the draw is out for our 2018 Aussie Open seed reports. And come back after that for the SI Roundtable.
• Meanwhile, Mary Carillo comes on the podcast to preview the Australian Open, talk Margaret Court, Nick Kyrgios, Boris Becker et al.
• Good Soldiering Part I: Tennis Channel is back for its 11th year at the Australian Open. The pregame show starts at 6 p.m. ET each evening (morning in Oz) and then we have match coverage.
