    It's Not Right But It's OK

    It’s the first day of fall, the players are burnt out, and instead of following Laver Cup we’re doing a mailbag. Your questions gave us enough to yap about over two separate episodes, which we’ll release over the next few weeks in addition to something else we’ve been cooking. We talk about Naomi’s surprising coaching changeup; trying to find joy in a sport after it’s presented you a tough ethical dilemma; Coco and Brad’s split; our favorite players who never really jumped off; and a lot more. 01:55 Naomi's coaching change 08:40 ‘Coco crisis’ or out of control expectations? 14:30 How would you conduct your social media profiles if you were a famous tennis player? 20:30 Facing an ethical dilemma in following men’s tennis 35:05 Vee as coach? 41:45 Our walk-out music  44:50 Who are some players late in their careers who you thought would break into the top but never really did? Who were you excited to follow but they didn’t reach their full potential?

    The Sins of Our Fathers

    The final major of the year is over and the champions are the same as in January: Aryna Sabalenka stakes her claim as hardcourt queen while Jannik Sinner dominates mere days after being cleared in an anti-doping case. We recap some of our highlights from week two, which had a ton of potential but didn’t deliver many (any?) classics. We dig into why disliking billionaires is actually totally fine; conflicts of interest and their sometimes humorous results; online mean girl/mean boy behavior from some famous commentators; and more observations from the site. We finish up with a look at commentator Nick Kyrgios and the complacency that led broadcasters, journalists, and commentators to excuse his misogyny; plus the ongoing lawsuit over Ben Rothenberg’s reporting on the Zverev abuse allegations.       0:35 Not the most brilliant three weeks of tennis in history but OK! 3:00 The women’s final was fun! Aryna Sabalenka bookends her year with hardcourt Slams 7:35 Billionaires, they’re just like us! 14:45 Notable week two matches: Navarro d. Badosa; Zheng d. Vekic; Aryna evolving into the most consistent Slam player on tour 19:00 Rennae cooks coach/commentator Brad Gilbert on air, and why that’s totally fine  26:55 An unseasoned final  30:50 The American narrative + Frances Tiafoe getting so close again 44:50 Penko a first-time Slam doubles winner; Taylor/Katka, Mladenovic/Zhang, D. Young 52:10 “Little grim reapers” and a few more observations from the grounds 63:40 ESPN commentators discover player name pronunciations and immediately get mean about it 71:10 Nick Kyrgios, misogyny, and the insider hypocrisy that protects him 79:45 Ben Rothenberg appeals a lawsuit from Alexander Zverev + its broader implications for journalism

    Cornrow USO

    Jonathan is back from New York after attending the first three days of the US Open. James quizzes him on the record crowds, the heat, where to find the frozen Honey Deuce, the tennis, and his advice for navigating the grounds. We chat about Naomi’s divisive kit, Adidas’ misstep, and of course the cornrow epidemic. Right, and there was tennis being played, too – Novak & Carlos crash out, the men’s draw could see a real breakthrough (or not), and Paolini and Gauff win for Slam consistency this year.    1:50 The crowds: eased by free movement during matches 11:10 Experiences from the grounds: the heat, Taylor Townsend, Ngounoue/Tien 19:55 Searching for the frozen Honey Deuce 28:55 A Manhattan girlie now  30:55 It’s called fashion: Ruffles and bows 39:50 The screaming follicles 42:50 First week highlights: Tiafoe d. Shelton, Muchova reminds everyone what she can do 54:30 Alcaraz and Djokovic both out before the second week 60:20 Women’s draw chugs along as top seeds remain 72:37 Men’s draw: even with the upheaval, the title could still go to the world #1

    Multiple Things: US Open Preview

    The US Open is around the corner, but you know what we really want to talk about: the news of Jannik Sinner’s positive doping tests, the lifted suspensions, and the hearing that cleared his name five months later, all before we heard a single peep on the subject. We take you through the facts of the case, the questions around transparency and the perception of fairness, and the privilege of having the means to mount a case and a spokesperson like Darren Cahill on your side. We end with our US Open draw previews: Sabalenka in great position, OsakaPenko, a soft landing for Novak, a tricky quarter for Carlos and a test for Iga. 2:25 But first, the Cincy results 4:10 Yevgeny, calm down 7:05 Frances’ middle finger 11:05 Sinner v. ITIA: the facts 23:10 What does No Fault or Negligence mean? 33:30 “One-billionth of a gram” + the privilege of great PR 47:50 Women’s draw preview: a quartet of cursed women’s 1st rounds 59:25 Men’s draw preview: Jannik, Carlos, and Daniil will have to battle it out on the top half

    Pon De Replay

    We asked for questions and you sent us so many great ones, many of which cover some of the major topics o’ the day, including the recent rule enforcement controversies and the groundswell of support for video replay. (Basically, video replay needs to happen and it will happen, but it won’t fix everything!) Beyond just the topical, we've got Olympics memories, favorite cake, a few great Coco questions, and the contradiction of having fewer and fewer opinions in a hot take-driven medium. Let’s have some fun before the US Open gets underway next week! 01:30 Which non-Slam event would you have liked to attend?  06:30 Jamaican sprinting and our all-time dream 4x100 relay team 12:20 “What is the most objectively polarizing tennis topic that you have zero opinion on?” 20:25 Video replay: yes, we need it but it won’t fix everything 28:20 The FAA-Draper incident that launched a thousand opinions 38:40 Cleansing the palate from the above question … Favorite cake and favorite episodes (of our own) 42:00 The WTA matching ATP’s prize money: a moving target? 48:00 Toronto vs Cincinnati 52:00 “Coco crisis” or just alarmism? 62:05 WAGs and HABs 67:00 Favorite Olympics moments

    Daddy Lessons

    Since we last spoke, the entire Olympic tennis tournament and the Canadian Open came and went. Our coverage isn’t comprehensive but more of a riff on the most interesting bits to us. We devote a good chunk of time to the tennis world’s incursions into the “gender controversy” involving Olympic gold medalist Imane Khelif, including ugly, often defamatory statements by tennis legends and one current player (the latter being the only one to retract). We bounce over to Canada for some disjointed thoughts on the National Bank Open and finally touch on the end of an era, the dissolution of the stormy Stefanos-Apostolos working relationship.    01:15 The Jamaican Olympic tragedy 11:00 Tennis at the Olympics: Novak, Zheng, Nadalcaraz  23:00 The myth of the badly behaved American trio (it's not a trio) 33:25 Andy Murray’s last dance 34:54 Tennis covers itself in shame during the Imane Khelif “gender controversy” 51:35 Policing women’s bodies is not liberation, it’s more of the same 56:25 Random Canadian Open thoughts  67:30 Shapovalov defaulted 70:35 Stef and Dad break up

    GOATs on a Boat (Cheek to Cheek)

    We’re celebrating our 350th episode - thanks to all of you for sticking around and pushing us forward for all these years! On this episode, we’re sharing thoughts on the Olympics opening ceremony and the spotlight on tennis royalty; the Olympics tennis draws, rocked by withdrawals and the unique Olympic qualification rules; and the post-Wimbledon clay/grass season. Rafa reached the Bastad final plus, in Hamburg, Arthur Fils matched That Guy’s energy, saved 21/22 break points, and snatched the title in front of a hostile crowd (and opponent). 0:30 A milestone! 3:15 Back on clay: Shnaider’s very good year, Rafa plays a few epics in Bastad 9:40 Newport and the ATP’s hygiene problem 19:10 Hamburg: underarm serves and the tears of a clown 26:50 Tennis Channel debuts a Zverev brother podcast … because why wouldn’t they 28:55 Update from Halep, but where is the CAS report? 31:30 Olympics opening ceremony: Booty siblings together again! 45:00 Olympic tennis: retirement fatigue + late withdrawals are wreaking havoc on the already weird draws

    I Love Good News! Wimbledon Wrap

    So rarely does a championship weekend feel this great. The widely adored Babs Krejcikova has done it again, this time winning the Wimbledon title amidst an injury-plagued year. It’s her 12th major title across all disciplines. Carlos Alcaraz is now the youngest male Channel Slam winner, sweeping past 7-time champion Djokovic in a rematch of last year’s final. In more good news, Taylor Townsend claims her first major title and Sinikova and Hsieh add to their impressive resumes. Plus, we chat about some extraneous stuff, as usual, like Medvedev’s near-default, Djokovic’s lecture to the crowd, and the “4 the girls” controversy.  2:55 This time, the tougher roads resulted in titles 7:40 Babs is a big match player 24:00 The men’s tournament: where’s the rest of the field? 26:50 Men’s final: all Carlos 37:25 Fritz, Riddle, and That Guy: 4 the girls? 44:55 I know all the tricks 53:15 Medvedev narrowly avoids a default in the semis 56:50 Doubles: Townsend is now a Slam winner! Siniakova & Hsieh add to their historic hauls
