Hey Mats, it’s not just tennis players that are going over to pickleball, it’s like…the greatest players of all time, INCLUDING YOU! Dude, what is up with all this?
Also, the US Open is making some pretty bold changes to the mixed doubles event, and we happen to think it’ll be pretty good for the fans!
It’s likely to be the story of the year in 2025, and we’re only in January. Seeing Madison Keys get that slam is as good as it gets for tennis fans everywhere! Good onya, Maddie!!
Also, winner winner, Jannik Sinner! That’s 3 straight hard-court majors, for those scoring at home. Is he on the verge of wrestling the Hugo Boss endorsement away from Berrettini? Our panel of Berrettini experts say “uhhhh, no not yet!”
33 American players in the main singles draws at the Aussie? Those numbers bode well for 2025, but there are definitely plenty of European problems to reckon with…as usual.
Also…does time in the booth possibly give us a “kinder, gentler” version of Nick Kygrios? We’re about to find out!
Joined by Jimmy Arias, the ’24 season finale is focused on disappointments, pleasant surprises, and lessons learned from what we saw this past year. The storylines were a-plenty!
Also, “hey Jimmy, what are the Americans to do in ’25, to make major singles titles a little more likely?”
It’s an All-Star team at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and CEO Dan Faber joins us to talk about some incredibly exciting plans for 2025 and beyond!
The most “important” player of all time? Here’s why that might just be the case.
And…good on ya, Taylor Fritz. Way to go, Coco!
American tennis is all the better for your solid end of season performances.
Now that Elena Rybakina has teamed up with Goran, Mats answers the question, will this work, AND what about tennis’s new “coaching from the stands” allowance? Is this really a good thing for the players?
Also, Jonny talks about several players that quietly exceeded expectations in 2024. Although maybe in some cases not as quietly as others!
Wilander’s comments about today’s level of tennis, compared to the era of the big 3 certainly set social media ablaze with “expert opinions”! What do these people not get?? It’s called EVOLUTION.
Also, Lighten up, Frances!! Tiafoe goes uncharacteristically ballistic in Shanghai. A blip or a concern?
It is the cup that seems to have runneth over! The Laver Cup has taken tennis by storm. All those players, plus Borg, Mac, Roger, and the Rocket, it’s a veritable tennis museum come to life!
Plus, while we’re at it, let’s not just gloss over the Davis Cup. The finals will be upon us soon. Rafa’s last stand? We shall see.
It wasn’t without controversy, but Jannik Sinner got it done…impressively! Will history reflect positively on this victory, or will there be questions? Mats, we’ll let you handle that one.
Also, Aryna Sabalenka also handled plenty of adversity in 2024. How big is THIS title for her?
