  • Another own goal courtesy of Catherine Whitaker…

    I decided to give you guys another chance and then… Gael Monfils is easily one of the biggest fan favorites in the ATP- you don’t like it? A beloved competitor brings joy to the game, always worthy of the price of admission- you should really know better but you don’t evidently. I’ve had enough. Unfollowed again.

  • Very left…

    I am a paid subscriber so fair to say I support this content. However the ‘leftiness’ opinions is eek. Today’s comments on Cruz Hewitt (as an example) and the ones post Wimbledon lack knowledge of actually watching any of his matches and he is a kid. Go listen to Andy Roddick as a lesson on how it should be done. You can really see their personal bias (Catherine) effect commentary. It’s either a + or - commentary based on whether they like a player. You are all so good but you need more care, kn... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

US Open Day 12 - Top two set up blockbuster women’s final
Q: What stood out about Sabalenka's performance in the semifinal against Pegula?
Her serve and aggressive first-strike tennis were dominant, with Sabalenka maintaining high first-serve percentage and finishing points quickly, which contrasted Pegula's struggles on return and second serve. The analysis highlighted Sabalenka's ability to elevate her level when it mattered most.
Live from Wimbledon preview - Serena steals the show
Q: Why is prize money discussed as a percentage of revenue, and what's the stance on governance?
The organizers argue that revenue-based metrics don't capture costs and investments required to stage the Championships; they stress a commitment to sharing success with players and maintaining transparent governance, with ongoing dialogue about improvements.
Live from Wimbledon preview - Serena steals the show
Q: How does Wimbledon approach wildcard decisions?
Jamie Baker explains a formal wildcard committee process guided by criteria, including Grand Slam pedigree and long-term grass-court support, while balancing British development with international competition; decisions aim to maximize the event's quality and fairness.
Understanding Marketa Vondrousova's four-year ban
Q: What happens if Marketa Vondrousova decides to appeal, and what is the likely timeline for that process?
The appeal would go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with both sides nominating arbitrators; timelines depend on the tribunal's schedule and submissions, balancing efficiency with due process.
Understanding Marketa Vondrousova's four-year ban
Q: Let's get straight into it. Can you explain why the ITIA sought such a severe punishment in this case, and why refusals are treated seriously overall?
The ITIA operates under the World Anti-Doping Code, which defines the sanctioning framework and deems refusals as a starting point of four years; this is to deter players from attempting to evade testing and to preserve the integrity of the testing system.
