Rome [REDACTED] (Tennis x F1 Crossover Episode)
Backhands and Compliments: A Tennis PodcastAbout this episode
Crazy how the second week of Rome just didn’t happen? Isn’t that weird? So, we talk about the surprisingly early exits, the nightmare that was a fan’s water bottle falling on Novak Djokovic, and the sad upcoming retirements. This is also the introduction of Miranda’s Matteo Jar, so enjoy every little plink of a quarter when she randomly brings him up. And yes, we tend to joke about making a Formula One podcast episode if a certain rat wins a tournament. Instead, we decided to help you out if you’re looking to get into F1 but you aren’t sure who to root for. Don’t worry, we got you! We’ll tell you which driver you might like based on your favorite player! (And if you do watch, F1, please tell us which player correlates to which driver! We’d love to know!) New to tennis or trying to get a friend into the sport? Check out our ATP 101 and 102 episodes to understand who/what we're talking about.
