    Episode #38 - Indian Wells Was Actually So Sick, Coco Mini-Slump (?), Tennis is a Cool Person Sport

    What's up guys & gals?! I don't know about you, but I thought Indian Wells was some of the best tennis content we've had in a long, long time. We talk about Novak's amazing loss, Tommy's amazing run, and Alcaraz' amazing dominance (and his sick shirt that I obviously bought). On the women's side we talk Coco, a little bit of Iga, and newcomer American Emma Navarro. Honestly this is a great episode so just listen ok!!

    Another late night with... The Australian Open. Yup, it's Australian Open season which means sleeping hours go down the drain and tennis watching skyrockets. We're about halfway through down under and give our best Emma Raducanu, Arthur Cazaux and Adrian Mannarino takes here.

    Yes, we know you missed us. Winter break was a long one, but we are ready for the biggest year of DABP yet. That's why we started off with a banger and brought on good friend of the program Julia Newman.
    Julia joins the conversation as we talk Rafa's comeback and immediate return to the bench, pre-Aussie Open events, 2023 in review, and some foolishness at the end of course with fan mail.
    Give a listen and share with your second cousin twice removed.
