Madridgate
We tried to ignore cake gate, but then the Madrid Open gave us ball-kid gate and then mic gate, so we relented and recorded an episode. Men's rights activists, you're on notice, Caitlin shares more of her controversial opinions, and two very enthusiastic thumbs up for the billionaires remaking the US tournament landscape.

Power Moves and Replacement Hosts
Is this Caitlin's last episode as co-host? It is if Jane012345 has anything to say about it. We dissect the forced submission move by Ons Jabeur to turn an Aljona Ostapenko handshake into an embrace (or was it a hug initiated by the Latvian locker-room favorite?) as well as review the new Boris Becker documentary by Alex Gibney and a recap of the clay season in all its glory!

Clay SZN
Before we talk about the amazing results at Monte Carlo—including some incredible chippiness amongst the next gen of ATP Players and BJK Cup standouts, we discuss the WTA's return to China. No feelings spared!

Winning Friends and influencing People
A hot-headed Rennae pairs up with a pensive Caitlin for a thorough look at the ways tennis is in its own way, how it can do better and we give a ton of shoutouts to reader mail, exquisite movement and the best thing to happen to mens tennis in years.

Daria Kasatkina
The outspoken Russian player joins Caitlin at the BNP Paribas x Racquet Kiosque to talk about her incredible return to form in the last 18 months, with her winning a handful of titles, making the WTA Tour Finals, and coincided with her coming out and speaking out against the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Don't worry, she also gives out some relationship and real estate advice—don't miss it.

Customer Reviews
Good job on Madridgate!
Great comments without overthinking it. And brava Caitlin, I also can’t stand watching Iga play, with her galumphing across the court and sulking starfish net play. She may be a lovely person but gawd I hate watching her. At least her uniforms got better from that pukefest she was wearing.
You go, Caitlin!
Great podcast!
Really love the unique insight by people who know the players and their reputation on tour. Rennae and Caitlin are super entertaining and informative!
one great host, one not so great
in general this podcast is great, and i understand that its affiliation with racquet magazine is why caitlin thompson is a part of it, but it would be a lot better if it were just rennae speaking with the guests or even rennae speaking ALONE to nobody because some episodes are unlistenable when the other host is present. even rennae seems annoyed and bothered by caitlin which is understandable. i love having a sports podcast led by women but, please, more rennae and less of the other host.
