  • Topics That Matter

    TTP gets into topics you just don’t ever hear about. The effect of global warming on tennis, the tennis schedule, equal prize money, tennis coaches, etc. This is all told with a tennis enthusiasm that is unrivaled. True fans

  • Leave out Politics

    The gents are great. Catherine’s narcissism can’t be held down though. The childless one is a tough listen and constant victim of the patriarchy. Just ask her. Find a week when she can’t make the show and you will be better off.

    Now tennis isn’t addressing climate change? This has become unlistenable. Please bench the cat lady.

  • Catherine & her Betas

    Catherine & beta males David and Matt talk tennis in a left leaning echo chamber. Or should I say whinge, criticise & judge the Tour and many of the professional players competing on it. Strange approach when none of them have any playing credentials themselves.

    They are pre occupied with perceived but ill conceived gender equality issues in the sport and incessantly harp on about them. It’s tiresome, boring & based on false premises.

    When they do decide to stick to commentary on tennis match... more

  • Oh my word

    Actually had my credit card out to support this pod. Then Catherine started up about Laver Cup. Her anti capitalism views are hysterical. Try going to one, Petal, before you harsh on it. If you pose as journalist tey being there. It was compelling and fun and innovative. And btw it is entirely possible Federer knows more than you do. At least Matt has an open mind!

  • The best tennis podcast…but

    Stop swearing! I love this podcast. I think the three hosts complement each other perfectly, and they all add something unique to the show. I have two young kids at home, and this one of my only rated clean podcasts I can listen to around them. Catherine, stop swearing! Lol
