This is the correct way to frame slam titles. By just adding the text “IN OPEN ERA”, you bypass the whole topic of Margaret Court’s irrelevant wins in Australia when most players didn’t even travel there.

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:
"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

This week on the pod: It looks like we are moving to Best of 5 for women at some slams. Okay! Also, Brad Gilbert didn’t like Bad Bunny, Serena is back baby, and new gay tennis novels. Enjoy! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

Lies, lies, lies, yea-ah, they’re gonna get you! Or are they? When is it okay tell a white lie (about for instance thinking your cramp may be an injury during a Semi Final)? Also, too many cameras at the AO, trophies for coaches and more podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

We’re gonna avoid scores and social media to watch the replay but we will be sleeping and dreaming of an Alcaraz win. Please please please save this Australian Open from becoming what could be an unbearable narrative. 🙏

Looking at the draw and everything else going on, we are rooting for a Svitolina/Swiatek final on Sunday. Done with the Americans now that Coco and Madi are out.

Only thing that makes me happier than the AO starting is seeing Roger playing again. What a sight for sore eyes 🥰
