## Resource

With Serena Willams' recent announcement that she takes a GLP-1 (and that she is the global spokeswoman for the online drug compounder Ro), these drugs are more visible and talked about than ever before. While they are a miracle for some, Michele has questions. Bryan mostly stays out of the way but then reveals his own journey losing, gaining and maintaining his weight. Also: 2025 US Open TV ratings were impressive Saudi Arabia is showering money on top male players again this year for their "Six Kings Slam" event Novak Djokovic is displeased with Serbia and moving to Greece Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka will play in the Naomi Osaka-produced "Battle of the Sexes Redux" (is this necessary? no) Send us your hot takes at perfectmatchpodcast@gmail.com As always tell your friends, rate this podcast in your app , and send us feedback at https://www.perfectmatchpodcast.com/ You can also follow us on Bluesky at @perfectmatchpodcast.com or @shellsteak and YouTube at @PerfectMatchPodcast Hosted on Acast.
