    A Performance Improvement Plan for Men's Tennis

    Men's tennis is failing us, in our view. It's top priority should be preventing Zv*r*v and Djokovic from winning a Grand Slam, and with Carlos out, the only one up to the challenge is Jannik Sinner. This is unsustainable! This week, Michele puts on her HR hat and puts Men's Tennis on a Performance Improvement Plan, complete with milestones and actionable goals (sorry I just barfed a bit in my mouth typing that). Also: Alcaraz is on the mend 💪Paige Lorenze is now Paige Paul 💍Alex DeMinaur and Katie Boulter got married the day of the Wimbledon Men's Final 🤔New tennis movies 🎬 And more!

    What Do We Want from Serena?

    Serena's comeback at Wimbledon was impressive, adequate, or perplexing, depending on who is commenting on it. This week, we take on Serena's choice, as well as the odd circumstances around her dropping out of doubles at the last minute. What is all this really about? Does Serena herself even know? Also, The danger on the men's side (a Djokovic or Zverev win 😱)We will have a new champion on the women's sidePlayers fail to stage collective action around prize moneyNo dogs allowed at WimbledonAnd more!

    Don't Call It "The Comeback" (How's That?)

    As Michele predicted in the first episode of this season, Serena Williams will be playing singles this year at Wimbledon. But don't call it a comeback (as they say), for she is insisting she doesn't care if she wins: she's just wants her daughters to see her play. Hard to believe. Also: Tennis.com has stopped publishing content entirely (boo!)Paula Badosa calls her former relationship with Stefanos Tsitsipas "toxic" (we called that one too!)Corentin Moutet's $40,000 fine for dropping multiple f-bombsDanielle Collins is giving Valerie Cherish vibes on TC Live ("I don't wanna see that!")And more!

    We Do Not Speak His Name (Or, At Least, Pronounce It Correctly)

    The bonkers 2026 French Open has concluded with the most disappointing Men's Final since Wimbledon 2019 (if you know, you know). The "deeply polarizing" winner (as the NY Times put it) has become a symbol of society's inability to properly address domestic violence allegations, leading to the emergence of the #anyonebutzverev hashtag when he became the favorite to win the tournament. Michele refuses to speak his name in this episode, and Bryan chooses to only use commentator mispronunciations (McEnroe's "Zah-VER-ev" and Agassi's "Zah-REV"). Dark times. Also: Maja Chwalinska's fairy-tale runTownsend/Siniakova win the women's doubles (setting up Taylor Townsend for the Career Slam at the US Open)Rafa praises David Ellison (but we forgive him)Trump ruins another sporting event, but Go Knicks!

    The French (Wide) Open

    This week we marvel at the surprises the French Open has produced so far. Is it weird that we are enjoying the Sincaraz absence? And we get early exits on the Women's side to mix it up? This is shaping up to be one of the most interesting Frenches (?) in a very long time. Also: Bryan apologizes (sort of) to unhappy listenersThe French Open's woman problemThe electronic line call that didn't matter (quel triste, Casper!)Serena is BACKThe Rafa documentary 👍😢#fonsecafever And more!

    Players Threaten Slam Boycott Over Money! Will It Matter?

    Before we talk about the current issue of players threatening to boycott a slam, let’s go back in time to 1973 when an historic boycott of Wimbledon by the top men’s players completely changed the power dynamic between the grand slams and the players.

    Riddle Me This: Why Were They Together So Long?

    Relationships are delicate entities, and breakups should be handled with care, but it does not appear that the high profile uncoupling of Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle is unfolding as planned. This week, we go a bit gossipy and snarky, but get into questions around what people expect out of a Relationship as well. Also: Players are getting "food poisoning" in Madrid and dropping out, but is it the tacos? Or the cultural bias toward Latin food?Carlos OUT of the French Open ☹️Ontario passed a law that you can't resell tickets for ANY profit at all. Can we move to Canada now?Send us your hot takes at perfectmatchpodcast@gmail.com As always tell your friends, rate this podcast in your app, and send us feedback at https://www.perfectmatchpodcast.com/ You can also follow us on Bluesky at @perfectmatchpodcast.com or @shellsteak Hosted on Acast.
