Customer Reviews
Great tennis podcast!
Alex Gruskin’s passion for tennis is unmatched! Its really fun to listen to him. Even though I really only have time to watch the pros, i appreciate his commitment to covering tennis at all levels. His love for the game is contagious
Unmissable for the serious follower of tennis
I listen to Gruskin on this show for so many reasons. (1) to keep up with everything going on in tennis, (2) for Alex’s clear vision of the most important developments and narratives in the game — he takes a big daily mass of updates and news, and turns them into stories that are accurate, memorable and meaningful for the fan who doesn’t have as much time as he or she would like to follow the sport. (3) because it’s fun, particularly when he has his regular guests on (Kane, Gross, etc.). Last, (4) because it’s highly honest. Lots of sportscasters totally depend interviews with athletes, which is generally OK, but they can’t offend with a too-candid take on an athlete’s recent bad game. Alex breaks it down ruthlessly and he is fearless. This is patt of the daily diet!
Please stop apologizing
for so-called "missed episodes" it's fine I promise
