Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Open Era: Your New Favorite Gay Tennis Romance with Edward Schmit
Q: Why choose a two-week US Open setting for the story?
The US Open provides a natural, contained environment with high stakes, media scrutiny, and a ready-made emotional arc for coming-out, mental health struggles, and intense off-court dynamics to drive the romance and sports drama.
The Open Era: Your New Favorite Gay Tennis Romance with Edward Schmit
Q: How did you come up with Austin Hardy and Diego Cruz names?
Names emerged as a mix of feel and accessibility; Hardy hints at toughness and humor (Hardy Boys jokes appear in the dialogue), while Diego Cruz was chosen to balance the protagonist's background with a tractable, memorable rival/romantic lead.
Interview with Doubles Star and Gay Ally Ellen Perez!!
Q: What are your thoughts on the US Open Mix and the scoring changes?
I felt the four-game scoring was exhibition-like but offered a chance to make doubles more exciting and accessible; it's a balance between tradition and modern audience expectations.
Interview with Doubles Star and Gay Ally Ellen Perez!!
Q: What was it like playing doubles with Ostapenko?
It was a fun, liberating experience; she swings hard, brings humor, and creates a relaxed but highly competitive on-court energy.
Interview with Doubles Star and Gay Ally Ellen Perez!!
Q: How do you describe your game?
I'd describe it as fast-paced and aggressive, with a strong net presence and a left-handed edge that adds a tricky element to my play.
