  • Fix audio?

    Vansh’s audio is not good, sounds like he is under a blanket or under water. I have to keep putting my volume up and down. I think I’ll have to stop listening until you fix it.

    Would rate higher than 4 if sound quality better. 5 for content

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

🎾 ATP Weekly: Where does Vacherot's stunning Shanghai title win rank in all-time surprise runs? Plus Stockholm, Almaty & Brussels previews as race to Turin enters final stretch
Q: How did Vacherot's victory change his standing in the tennis world?
His victory not only marked him as the lowest-ranked winner of a Masters 1000 title but also elevated him in the rankings from 204 to 40, making him the most successful Monogasc tennis player in history.
PTPA vs. The Slams: A New Legal Battle Unfolds and Talking Tennis interviews sports business journalist Dan Kaplan
Q: Do you think we'll get to that stage where we are going to a trial?
It's uncertain. The case could move toward a trial, or there might be a settlement, depending on the judge's leanings and the dynamics at play.
PTPA vs. The Slams: A New Legal Battle Unfolds and Talking Tennis interviews sports business journalist Dan Kaplan
Q: Why have they added the slams now and not before?
The PTPA initially delayed the addition but wanted to allow a negotiation period, which has since ended, necessitating their inclusion in the case.
PTPA vs. The Slams: A New Legal Battle Unfolds and Talking Tennis interviews sports business journalist Dan Kaplan
Q: What does the addition of the Grand Slams to the lawsuit mean for the case going forward?
It means the Grand Slams will need to respond legally, and there will be more legal fees involved. The ATP and WTA are not against it but want their motions to dismiss addressed first.
Aryna Sabalenka's 2025: French Open Heartache to US Open Triumph - with data analyst Shane Liyanage
Q: Which of the three Grand Slams that didn't quite go Arena's way hurts the most?
I would say the one that would hurt the most is the French Open.
