Podcast #169: Forgettable Finals - Eight is ENOUGH!!

Let's close this frigging 2020 Australian Open championships. This 2020 hasn't been of much good so far ... We break the impact and relevance of the men's finals as Dominic Thiem continue to put in all the hard work but still no cup. Djokovic continue to dominate in Melbourne and yet he still gets no love.

Will Kenin's winning her major give her and her father the economic and social boost that they so desperately crave? How could Garbine let us down so much?

All this and more and we erase this Australian Open 2020 from our minds and spirits. Can tennis ever be consistent on the rules and regulations? That's what I really want to know.

Podcast #168: Mid Aussie Open 2020 Shredded Draws Reports

Well I doubt if anyone's predictions came through especially on the women's side. That draw has all been busted wide open; been completely shredded. The entire thing belongs to the Shredder. The usual suspects are still there on the men's side including some Next Genners but some are looking shaky and might not survive the 4th round or even the quarters. Nonetheless, we are here to give you the complete breakdown and all the relevant news and tidbits. 

Can tennis ever be consistent on the rules and regulations? That's what I really want to know.

Podcast #167: We're Already at the Remix Draw Show Stage??

So we are back for our season opener (6th season HURRAY!!!) and we begin with the Australian Open 2020 draw show. As the player battle elements of wind, sun and fire, us in the distance battle with a draw that remains unfinished. Note that this draw show was done as the final stage of qualies are set to begin. We look at the lopsided draw that is the women's singles event and the predictable event of the men's side.

Podcast #165: Federer Flourishes And Fashion Flounders

We are in the latter stages of the 2019 professional tennis year but there is still so much to discuss. As you know this podcast is produced by the fact that Roger Federer is still playing top level tennis and this week he won his 103rd title in his home country. There were other winners at home on the men's side as we got into all the results that we cared about. 

Of course this is no slight to the ladies as they have two big events, the consolatory event in Zhuhai concluded and the top 8 compete for $4.1 million in Shenzhen. 

 

We still have questions about Saudi Arabia but it seems no one else is wondering about the matter. We let you know about Rafa's wedding AND since we are the Roger Federer of tennis podcasts and we bring you the best content, we discuss the ladies players' party garbs.

We get into all the results on both the men and women's tours. Osaka is back in business and possibly Serena for the year ending championships. 

 

Is Murray back or is this just a temporary reprise? Federer isn't here for your foolishness and neither is Fabio. We discuss the on-going saga that is the ATP players' council as well as how is it that the ATP is playing in Saudi Arabia and tennis folks are silent on China.

Podcast 161: From Russia with Love Part II

So Russia was able to steal an Olympics and an election but it proved unable to take one measly US Open men's title. So we close out this event like our men's Runner's Up, Danill Medvedev. So much to get into that I am not sure we covered it all but you can definitely let us know in the comment section below especially on YouTube. 

We talked about #BlackGirlMagic of Taylor Townsend, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka. Serena is as always the ultimate but what is going on with her in these finals. #Serenamajorsale handing out free majors to the WTA. Folks are discussing all kinda theories as to why she hasn't collected #24 and so do we. 

We talk about Federer and what's going on, the fashion and the continuing sexist and racist approach to rules and regulations in tennis. Oh yeah, we started recording this live episode before the men's finals was over!
