RTFLivecast #198: We Came to Bury The Dead!!

We are finally here at the end of the Australian Open 2022! I am not sure if this event really should have happened in the first place but no one is paying for my thoughts not even a penny. We wrapped up this uneventful extravaganza with with a local champ and a perennial one. Barty and Divadal!! 

We discuss the finals ... at least the ones we watched and discuss what it means to be at 21.

Look at us being very consistent for the beginning of the year! We are back with another exciting episode for the middle of the major report of the Australian Open 2022. Do we miss Novaxx?

RTFLivecast #196: The No Djoke Novaxx Draw Show!!!

Well we can officially begin to try and enjoy the Australian Open 2022 edition after much delay in the draws and order of play. We all know the reason for this, the absence of the world's male number 1 player, Novak Djokovic. So in honour of his untimely departure, we decided to turn our latest draw show into a Djoker celebration. We break down both the men and women's draws with notable Djokovic's vibes, moments, quality and stats. 

We start with the ladies of course and finish off with the men! Who are your picks? What does your draws look like for the Round of 16? Let us know in the comment sections and of course on Twitter!

Podcast #195: NOVAXX DESCENDING!!!

Well welcome to our 8th season of RTF Podcast on the air. We didn't think we would be away so long nor expected to come back in 2022 on the wings of this mess. However, this is tennis, it so on brand.

It goes without saying that we are weighing in on this Novaxx Djoker mess regarding his vaccine status as well as his continued effort to do all he can to spread Covid-19 to the unsuspecting. We break down the entire scenario as we know so far, contextualizing it as only we can. 

We invited Pablo (@anBhanna) so please thank him for being a tremendous sport staying up so late AGAIN to be with us! We know how much yall love his BBC/Bridgerton dulcet tones.

RTFLivecast #192: This Draw Show Is Singing Broadly!!

The final major is upon us and we are back in the "studio" to bring you another live and hilarious take on the singles draws. We invited Pablo (@anBhanna) again who is over on the other side of the pond because we like to torture our guests. We were supposed to get into the draws on the theme of Broadway but the news and our own outings at tournaments lead for most of the discussion. Yes we did get into the Zverev angle and also touched on Naomi Osaka .... Yeah Nole is trying to do a thing here right? 

We finally got to the draws which turned out to be a hit musical after all!!

So we are FINALLY at the end of the 2021 Wimbledon. We brought Pablo (@anBhanna) back to close this mess. Nole has achieved No. 20 and what does this even mean? Poor Matteo! Should we really allow these 3 dudes to keep winning majors? What of the women's final? Barty has a 2nd major and Pliskova still has none. We cover all this and other affairs in the world of tennis. 

Do note that Janina abandoned us midway through the podcast for soccer! Traditor!!

A breakout star is about to shine. Will it be Ons or Emma? Yeah Nole is around on the men's side! Who will earn the right to face Nole in the final? What about this Murray Mayhem again? Kyrgios's future in tennis?
