About this episode
Tennis returned to Canada as weather wreaked bedlam on the women's draw in Montréal. Jessie Pegula won her second 1000 title and scored a great win over #1 Iga Swiatek, but we need to talk about some horrendous scheduling decisions that impacted Rybakina and runner-up Samsonova. Jannik Sinner wins his first Masters title on the men's side, while de Minaur and Paul record massive wins of their own. We've also got Casper Ruud's tour of Canadian Content, the weird rules revelation in the Raonic-Tiafoe match, and the strange persistence of American high school line dance standard "Cotton Eye Joe." Most importantly, we ask you all to decide once and for all: is Danielle Collins a Karen or an icon? 01:04 : Cincy FOMO and our initial forays into Toronto tennis this year 07:20 Recapping the men's action in TO amidst intermittent weather 13:41 Casper Ruud's many many looks off the court 19:51 The women's tournament is rocked and wrecked by rain 27:38 The Notebook: an Iga hate story 31:52 Where did you come from, where did you go? 33:59 Is she a Karen or is she iconic? 38:23 Caro's back and the reviews are mixed 41:46 A net is not a net, when there's no doubles players there 45:49 Coco's revival and Brad's involvement 51:38 Now, why is Dasha in it?
