Co-hosts, partnered couple and dare we say doubles partners, Bryan and Michele get into it exploring the big game, their own game and anything else that's making tennis fans talk from the sidelines.

Cute! Good for engagement! Bad for winning. This week we talk tennis rivalries and question whether Carlos needs to go darker if he wants to beat Sinner. We also dig up clips of Chrissie and Martina talking about how they had to lose the friendship bracelets to truly compete. Also: The Onion's dumb tennis satire piece Rybakina's weird used tennis gear/crypto scam online shop Nadal Netflix final year documentary incoming (are these actually good television?) Alcaraz wrist injury.
