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?
USTA (immediate past) President Mike McNulty joins us for a look back at memorable US Open moments past, and a forensic look at what an incredible event the US Open has become. A million people will attend in 2024!
Also, Jonny is a happy camper, as the American men have 5 players in the top 20, for the first time in 27 years!
Mats and AZ welcome newly minted Olympics Silver Medalist, Austin Krajicek. Within an eyelash of Gold, and a win over NadAlcaraz along the way. “Doesn’t get much better!”
And…Jonny gives some love to his man the Djoker, who’s now career Super-Slam is a Golden cherry on top!
Carlitos is all smiles on the grass, but the Djoker getting to the final on one leg is nothing to laugh at!
Also…Alcaraz teaming with Nadal in Paris?? We’re suddenly all-in on Olympics men’s doubles!
Has Wimbledon ever been more wide open? Is the #2 seeded, 7-time champion even playing? Tommy Paul is definitely living his best life!
And…an exclusive with Texas Longhorn great, Eliot Spizzirri. You can’t help but root for this kid. He is special.
The French Champs are the best, everyone else are the rest. Carlitos was en fuego, and Iga has women’s tennis by the throat. A bit ironic that Sinner is #1 after his RG result? Is Osaka back to being a threat?
And…Johnny Mac getting a little “makeup blowback”? Is he a bit over the line, or do people just need to get a grip? Honorable mention to Jasmine for her double-final.
Not much to say….but goodbye to an all-time great.
AZ and Jonny hold the fort, while Mats takes a very scenic route back to Paris.
