Joined by Gentleman Tim Henman for a bit of a knock-around, we really realize that the dude truly is a gent! Witty and sharp as hell, too!

Also, Mats on Mirra and Jonny on the top 10 American men of all time. A couple of curious choices to be sure!

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 was a championship season that Hollywood scripts are made of, and new UT Men’s Tennis Coach, Bruce Berque is still in process of processing Texas Men’s Tennis’ first ever National Championship!

The level of adversity speaks for itself.  No Texas tennis team had ever gone through this.  A mid-season coaching change that ends in a proud and storied program’s first ever National Title. To quote a famous lefty, YOU CAN NOT BE SERIOUS!

It was a year in Texas Longhorn Men's Tennis that won't soon be forgotten!

ATP doubles specialist, Neal Skupski joins AZ to chat about (among other things) a real nice W in the Arizona desert, that required some serious poise under pressure!

Neal’s recent win at The Arizona Tennis Classic (with Jamie Murray) was certainly impressive, I believe his 31st as a pro.  Today, this very chill Brit chats with AZ about that win, a few brothers vs brothers matchups with the Bryans, and life on tour as a doubles specialist.

Neal Skupski and Jamie Murray got it done in the desert, and it was a lot of fun, but it was far from easy!
