93: Kalamazoo, Cincy Chaos & the Ultimate Pronunciation Challenge | EP 93

In this week's Friday episode, John, Sam and Steve take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, reminiscing about the legendary Kalamazoo boys' tennis tournament and its significance in the junior tennis world. The boys share stories about their enjoyable (and sometimes chaotic) times at the Cincinnati Open and dive into the Major Mailbag to answer your questions, including revealing who are the worst practice partners on Tour... And finally after months of embarrassing himself with the worst attempts at pronouncing professional tennis player names, Sam is put in the hot seat, with a list of names chosen by our listeners. 00:00 Sponsor Message 01:25 Intro 03:56 Cincinnati Memories 10:14 Kalamazoo Tournament Recap 17:11 Fan Questions: Analytics in Tennis 20:19 Cincy Ball Kids and Personal Experiences 22:13 Practice Partners and Arrangements 23:24 Challenges with Practice Partners 25:47 American Players in Masters 1000 26:21 Hypothetical Matchup: College Steve Johnson vs. Ben Shelton 27:17 Life Advice: Parenthood, yes or no? 29:41 The Ultimate Pronunciation Challenge 34:31 Goodbye!
