About this listen

Perfect Match? is a tennis podcast serving up the most recent tennis headlines and heaps of off-court chat. What bad behavior occurred this week? Do people who move to Wimbledon get to complain about the Tournament? Why have there never been any openly gay players in the ATP top 100? You know, the good stuff.


Co-hosts, partnered couple and dare we say doubles partners, Bryan and Michele get into it exploring the big game, their own game and anything else that's making tennis fans talk from the sidelines.


Episodes drop weekly. Stay in touch: Bluesky at @perfectmatchpodcast.com or @shellsteak, and Instagram at @perfectmatchpodcast.

  • Tennis Players and Sleep: The New Secret Weapon?

    Tennis Players and Sleep: The New Secret Weapon?
    Oct 8 2025

    Proper sleep impacts every aspect of one's life. For tennis players – and athletes in general – it’s a relatively new insight. Only in the last 20 years have experts and players realized just how much sleep can affect performance. Even the smallest adjustment can help a player reach peak performance. This week, we dig into the details of top players and their sleep habits. Roger Federer: 12 hours a night! Pete Sampras needs freshly pressed sheets. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz get a LOT of sleep.

    • The Court Speed Conspiracy Theory, hatched by...Roger Federer?
    • The Asian swing is running out of gas
    • Michele's perfect sleeping habits and Bryan's highly disordered routine

  • Trailer: What Is Perfect Match (Question Mark)?

    Trailer: What Is Perfect Match (Question Mark)?
    Oct 2 2025

    We are not a podcast that assesses the pricing and collectibility of Labubu dolls. We are companion podcast to the hit TLC series "Sister Wives". We are not a MAGA podcast that aims to take down and take out the woke left. We are a podcast that discusses the culture through the lens of tennis (and sometimes our relationship).


    Weekly for the entire tennis season. Short: about 30 minutes per episode. Unafraid: we talk a lot of shit.


    Check it out!

  • The Cocaine Episode: Tennis Players Who Partied Hard

    The Cocaine Episode: Tennis Players Who Partied Hard
    Sep 30 2025

    Cocaine, Coke, Booger Sugar, Bolivian Marching Powder. Whatever you call it, the worlds of professional tennis and all night coke binges once overlapped.


    The talk of the tennis town this week is the new Bjorn Borg memoir “Heartbeats", in which he admits to using cocaine, saying it almost ruined his life many times after he quit the tour. But was his drug use really confined to his post-playing years? It was the ‘70s after all. And who else on tour has dabbled with “non-performance enhancing” drugs.


    This week we dive into a pile of (metaphorical) white powder and break down who has used, who has denied and who has danced around the issue (they did coke too).


    Enjoy!
