  • Painful listening

    The guys have gone off the rails on Zverev. Maybe not a reat guy, obviously, but his tennis is very impressive and, for me, fun to watch. Joyless -- not at all.

  • Mary Carillo is the best!

    Ben’s interview about Mary’s hall of fame induction in 2026 was exactly what I hoped it would be. In other episodes, I find Ben speaks too fast, often says too much and frequently interrupts Tumaini. This cadence of this long form interview was much more thoughtful and he clearly loves Mary a lot.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Recapping an Awful Year of Men's Tennis (With Ricky Dimon)
Q: What can be done to fix it? Are there things that could make this year, next year better or is it just as simple as have Sinner and Alcaraz be healthy and play each other more?
Ricky says a return to one-week Masters events would improve the calendar, while the tour also needs healthy Sinner-Alcaraz matchups and the return of injured contenders. He adds that other players may have gained confidence from their results this season.
Recapping an Awful Year of Men's Tennis (With Ricky Dimon)
Q: Why do you think this year has been so bad?
Ricky says the season deserves an F because Sinner and Alcaraz, the sport's leading rivalry, were rarely healthy and playing at the same time. He also points to uneven results and a lack of compelling storylines.
