24.01.2022 Alison Bai https://www.abc.net.au//points-games-and-my-tenni/13129904 Points, games and my tennis career: Ali's Story What does it take to be a professional tennis player?... Alison Bai has been the ACT's highest ranking women's tennis player for over a decade. She's studied for much of that time, undertaking a commerce and now law degree. After a successful 2019, her tennis career was put on hold due to COVID-19. Sunday Brunch's Kim Huynh asked Alison about the dedication required to become an elite athlete and what it was like being locked down in her hometown in 2020.

Alan, it’s Roger here. I just wanted to wish you all the very best for what’s to come, the tennis legend said to outgoing shock jock Alan Jones.... And many congratulations on an amazing 35-year career in the media business. Take care and all the best. The world’s fastest man, Usain Bolt, also sent a sayonara ahead of Jones hanging up his headphones on Friday: I just want to say congratulations on retiring at the top of your game.
