Good content except I don’t understand why you have to say the f word so much during a tennis podcast- it’s a bit amateurish.
I like that this podcast produces episodes during the off season and that there was an emergency episode covering breaking tennis news. I enjoy the ATP and WTA based commentary the most. I like the host’s enthusiasm. I enjoyed the guest episodes with Gil Gross and Ben Rothenberg.

Too much preamble for my liking. I don't like slow starting podcasts. I sat down for dinner to hear some analysis on his "top ten" atp players after the us open 2025, and I finished eating before he even began analyzing. It's advertisements on top of stating obvious facts (who won what, which we already know) rather than getting to the analysis. Just my honest take.
You just know being a daily listener my boy Gruskin’s getting 5 stars. Alex I also have a strange request if you see this review. Could you give an insight to your own tennis game as well as Gill Gross’s. I was also wondering which of the two of you are better.
