  • Ep. 123 - Alcaraz tries to SAVE Team Europe / The STRANGEST Tournament in Tennis
    Sep 23 2025

    This week Erik and Aidan discuss the Laver Cup this week, perhaps the strangest tournament in Tennis. It sits in an odd place, as essentially an exhibition, but with matches counting toward players head to head record. The selection process also feels quite strange and biased. This year, the tournament was held in San Francisco, and swung back and forth over the three days, with certain players stepping up and pulling out upsets to achieve victory this year.

  • Ep. 119 - The Final We Wanted... (Alcaraz vs Sinner) / Cincinnati Masters Recap
    Aug 20 2025

    This week Erik and Aidan discuss the conclusion of the Cincinnati Masters, which promised a bang and ended with a fizzle. The tournament had overall delivered through the majority of the tournament. Most of the top players had performed and we even had a shocking underdog run. Unfortunately, as the days dragged on, more and more players began to struggle with the conditions. Shelton and Zverev both seemed completely drained when they eventually fell out of the tournament, and when we reached the final, Sinner was unable to perform against Alcaraz, playing only 5 games before he had to retire, giving Alcaraz his first Cincinnati Title.Contents: Intro 0:00Ball "Kids" 1:07Cincinnati Recap 2:27Atmane's Shock Run 11:27Tournament Renovation 13:47Race to Turin Update 16:35What's New 20:16Bet of the Week 25:25Match of the Week 27:20

  • Ep. 118 - Alcaraz and Sinner RETURN in Cincy / Shelton Shines in Canada
    Aug 12 2025

    This week Erik and Aidan recap the result of the Canadian Open, where American Ben Shelton emerged victorious! The young American was definitely a top contender, but this was still an unexpected result, achieving a finals victory over Russian Karen Khachanov. Meanwhile, the Cincinnati Masters was already underway, with the first couple of rounds already completed. Whether it is fatigue or simply the tough conditions in Ohio at this time of the year, many top seeds have already fallen out of the tournament. With the return of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz however, this tournament may prove to be much more of a challenge for any underdog contender. Be sure to check back next week for a recap of the full Cincinnati tournament!

    Aug 5 2025

    This week Erik and Aidan discuss the first few rounds of the ATP Canada Masters that is currently taking place in Toronto. With top seeds like Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Novak Djokovic absent from the tournament, it is a great opportunity for another top player or underrated newcomer to step up and take the tournament as an underdog. Favorites like Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev seem to be on a collision course, but other threats like Alex De Minaur and Ben Shelton seem to be waiting in the wings for a chance to strike for the title.
