Jimmy and Brett are back breaking down the latest in the tennis world. This week the duo digs into Team Europe’s Laver Cup victory in London and whether the event can ever reach the prestige of the Ryder Cup. They also break down Medvedev’s clutch win in Asia, Leylah Fernandez’s impressive Singapore title run, and why the fall season is one of the most underrated stretches on the tour for players looking to make a move in the rankings. Plus — the five-set Grand Slam debate: are shorter formats the future, or does tennis need to protect what makes the Slams special?
Jimmy and Brett are back from NYC and the US Open and are ready to discuss everything they saw on finals weekend. Joined by traveling buddy and friend of the show Spencer Segura, they break it all down.
Jimmy and Brett are joined by special guest and friend of the pod Mike Lupica.
