I have to hail returning champion David Kane over returning worm Ben Rothenberg!
As a big fan of Serena Williams, how can I not like the person who coined the term “Serena Williams Country Club Power Tennis”! LOL! I just like the way Alex uses similes and metaphors in his analysis of tennis.
Alex Gruskin is very involved with the daily movements of both professional tours, Challenger events and even collegiate players that look promising on their rise to the top.

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.
