  • 5 Stars ❤️

    The enthusiasm from all three hosts is so infectious. Their collective knowledge and comradely is so fantastic. Appreciate that they're unafraid to discuss the nitty gritty and controversial parts of the sport. Thank you David, Catherine and Matt. I love listening to you all. 5 stars always!

  • Ignorance, Agendas,Arrogance

    They know nothing about tennis, their ravings constantly demonstrate it. Perhaps it may be tolerable if Catherine Whitaker wasn’t a part of it. Her stupid agendas, especially her ill informed campaign against best of 5 men’s tennis are infuriating. Full of bs.

  • Delightful podcast to nap to

    I enjoy listening to their in-depth coverage, the Xs and Os, and their candid takes. At the same time, they are so delightfully British that I always end up taking an unplanned and well-deserved nap as Katherine and David lull me to sleep.

  • Overall love it

    I love the vibe of the show and the joy that you can definitely tell all 3 of them get from working together talking about the sport they love. My reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is I do think they are a bit judgmental about things that they definitely don’t have enough info to judge on. But overall, I do love the pod.

  • Zverev wins

    Why did you mention twice in two days Sverev’s domestic abuse allegations? It would be perfectly acceptable to mention it after he had won the tournament or got knocked out, but mentioning it two days running makes you sound perjorative and like you are trying to re-enforce a personal opinion. I enjoy this podcast but this has shaken my belief in it.
