At this point, who is going to be able to make it through this meat grinder of a season? Do the the tour finals still matter no matter how many friends they lose, or people they leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way? Plus: No matter who REALLY started the conspiracy theories about courts getting slower (looking at you, Roger), you can count on Alex Zverev to whine about it.

Lazy Susan of Lawsuits
The tennis establishment is facing yet another complaint from players, and this one's got the top players signed on and is repped by the big guns—Larry Scott. Let's see if they can make progress on meaningful profit sharing, player organizing and schedule changes. They'd better before the Asia swing completely collapses from retirements! We talk Coco vs. Belinda, Meddy vs. Zverev and the encouraging addition to Lerner Tien's entourage in the form of Michael Chang. Takes a champ to know a champ, after all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Edge of Our Seats
No, that wasn't just for a very disruptive US Open men's final guest that nobody wanted who made everyone wait, it was for pretty much everything else, from the scintillating second half of the singles tournament to the nail-biting wheelchair finals that gave Tokito Oda a career golden slam. We break down the resurgent FAA and Naomi Osaka campaigns, the finals that weren't for Sinner and Anisimova, and of course discuss the Carlitos haircut that started it all as well as an undeniable Sabalenka. We're toasting THREE WEEKS of US Open coverage with a hearty Ranch Water. Thanks for joining!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
