  • Production level could use some work

    Ben has definitely taken on some uncomfortable topics which others are afraid to touch… I do feel that this pod would be much improved with more attention, given to sound quality- I’m sure some technical assistance could be found. I enjoy listening to Tumaini (who needs to get a little closer to the mic at times) but I do miss hearing Courtney, as well as others (the woman from Egypt…). With all due respect, the hype on Ben’s book was a bit tiresome, though I’m glad that the subject, Naomi Osak... more

  • I can’t listen anymore

    Ben talks way too much. He asks a question of his “co-host” then proceeds to expound on his own opinion for multiple minutes, leaving no room for anything but “yes, you covered it”. He needs a coach to help him stop talking.

  • Great journalist but…

    I love Ben Rothenberg’s written coverage of tennis, but his podcast is predictable. In the past year, it doesn’t feel like he really watches a lot of tennis so his insights aren’t deep. And since he started writing his book, it seems like he only does the podcast to promote the book. His contributors, specifically Tumaini, do bring the knowledge but Ben is not a practiced enough host to extract enough to make a great podcast. I am 100% supportive of his renewed focus on Zverev - please continue ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 389: Mailbag Musings
Q: Should Iga play some doubles next season?
Yeah, I would love to see her play more doubles for psychological reasons, rather than it having a direct impact on her tennis.
Episode 389: Mailbag Musings
Q: What are your thoughts on the change to Challenger ranking points this year?
The amount of points given out for every result of the Challengers below winning the tournament has been reduced, making it harder for players.
Episode 389: Mailbag Musings
Q: Do you think Billie Jean King's suggestion to change the tennis scoring nomenclature is helpful?
It's a meaningful barrier to entry for some new people, but I don't think it's actually stopping people from enjoying the sport.
Episode 359: ”Naomi Osaka” - Behind the Book
Q: When did you decide that you wanted to write a book about Naomi?
I first had the idea to write about Naomi on the day she stopped play at the 2020 Cincinnati Tournament when she spoke out on social issues, which showed a transformation from the shy teenager we knew.
Episode 366: "Challengers" Screenwriter Justin Kuritzkes
Q: How did you approach balancing the real-world connections of tennis while creating a fictional narrative?
Kuritzkes emphasized that he utilized real tennis stories but enjoyed the freedom that came from not being bound to a biopic format, allowing for greater creative expression.
