  • For the love of tennis!!!

    A full fledge of fantastic takes on the game that connects me to the tour. The personalities of the podcast are interesting, honest, fun, and smartly contagious to listen to. As a long time fan of the sport, the tennis podcast is an invaluable asset to those who are following the tour and for those who are fringe supporters will have a greater appreciation for tennis after listening.

    Have been learning so much more from other podcasts li... more

  • Mixed bag

    Unlike others in the comments, my problem with their takes is not that it is too left/ liberal. Rather, it is a boring White/ Western perspective. Which is why, honestly, I wish they would stick to talking about tennis. They are funny and knowledgeable about the sport and should focus on tennis.

    Instead, they offer self-satisfied, simplistic rants about sporting events in Saudi Arabia. My point here is not to justify Saudi Arabia but “human rights” is a stick that is used only against the non-... more
