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. Episodes drop weekly. Stay in touch: Bluesky at @perfectmatchpodcast.com or @shellsteak , and Instagram at @perfectmatchpodcast . Hosted on Acast.

The \"deeply polarizing\" winner (as the NY Times put it) has become a symbol of society's inability to properly address domestic violence allegations, leading to the emergence of the #anyonebutzverev hashtag when he became the favorite to win the tournament. Michele refuses to speak his name in this episode, and Bryan chooses to only use commentator mispronunciations (McEnroe's \"Zah-VER-ev\" and Agassi's \"Zah-REV\"). Dark times. Also: Maja Chwalinska's fairy-tale run Townsend/Siniakova win the women's doubles (setting up Taylor Townsend for the Career Slam at the US Open) Rafa praises David Ellison (but we forgive him) Trump ruins another sporting event, but Go Knicks!
