Episodes

Dec 15

e do our damndest not to talk ONLY about Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who were so clearly ahead of the rest of the pack that it's hard not to give them all the awards. Plus: what do players like Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton and Alex Zverev need to do to be competitive with the elite pack? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the podiums to the pork chops, we review the year's highs, lows and whoas.

We think the answer is... yes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 25

Spain and Italy can't keep their hands off each other, and Rennae ever so slightly relents on the weekly topic of Justine Henin's majestic backhand! As always, we're here to solve all of tennis' problems—from the NCAAs to PTPAs, Tour Finals (just join em, already!) and of course, team competition. As ever, we're thankful for all of you! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 19

We recap the (predictably, but satisfying) ATP Tour Finals, discuss the Gazprom Open, bid farewell to Chris Eubanks and debate the justifiable entry into the International Tennis Hall of Fame of the GOAT (in our house, her name is Mary Carillo) as well as some guy named Roger Federer. Plus: who got snubbed and why? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 10

Yes, we recap the WTA Finals on-court results and off-court statements (looking at you on both counts, Elena Rybakina!) and preview what we hope is an exciting ATP Finals. In the spirit of constructive criticism, any billionaire who wants to pay for the year-end tournament to be in front of a rowdy crowd gets a free tennis lesson from Rennae among other prizes! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nov 4

We love the new Battle of the Sexes! Just kidding, we hate it and its cynical, gross and insultingly crude existence. We talk all things WTA Finals—matchups, blowouts, blowups and more, as well as go in depth about the brilliant critique of the failure of tennis' establishment to offer good digital content. Sorry, but watching players create meme content is an insult to our intelligence. Plus: shoutout to a Mandarin speaking Anna Blinkova. Hen hao! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 27

After an action-packed week, Rennae and Caitlin are back, and the end of the year is staring us down the barrel!

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Oct 6

At this point, who is going to be able to make it through this meat grinder of a season? Do the the tour finals still matter no matter how many friends they lose, or people they leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way? Plus: No matter who REALLY started the conspiracy theories about courts getting slower (looking at you, Roger), you can count on Alex Zverev to whine about it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sep 30

The tennis establishment is facing yet another complaint from players, and this one's got the top players signed on and is repped by the big guns—Larry Scott. Let's see if they can make progress on meaningful profit sharing, player organizing and schedule changes. They'd better before the Asia swing completely collapses from retirements!

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We both give a full chapeau to Coco Gauff's unreal self belief and self possession in weathering the storm of Aryna Sabalenka, who played one of the most brilliant matches of the tournament to take out Iga Swiatek in the semis. On the men's side, an instant classic. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
