What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Please keep the podcast up. Zero content on tennis and all of you are in it every day currently and tennis needs this. Great angles from Gilbert from the coaching plus play career, pechi, same coach and play career, Andrea just coming out of being on the WTA tour and knowing the girls. And coco’s amazing career and long media presence. The mix is great from all great angles. Unlike other podcast before. Brad brings a lot to this. Outspoken but has the credentials to back it up.
