Customer Reviews
Just bloody brilliant
You chaps have been doing a refreshingly bountiful podcast. My trousers are shaking from the sheer brilliance🥸
Doubles, Doubles, and More Doubles
While it’s good to get the behind-the-scenes coaching view, there is just too much doubles talk. I had to wade through a half hour of the commentator’s personal team’s doubles results, then how to promote doubles, then how doubles specialists would draw bigger audiences than singles players playing doubles — all before they got to the Madrid review. Guys — not all of us love doubles as much as you do or are as interested in how your clients are performing in their challengers. Your commentary is good but can we hear more about the top 100 ATP and WTA players?
Racists and Liars
Typical British racist/xenophobic tennis commentary. Heavy on the Novak Djokovic bashing. Sadly it’s not even original as the “tennis podcast” has already executed this hate commentary formula.
