  • Championship Sunday! Womens NCAA Basketball-Tennis and Pop Culture around the Town.
    Apr 8 2024

    Alexandra Stevenson and co-host Hugues Laverdière join together to break down sports across the board. The women's NCAA basketball leads the podcast with a cast of characters that has made everyone who cares about sport - tune in - in fact 14 million tuned in for Iowa-U Conn. Alexandra gives props to South Carolina Coach Dawn Staley - for her coaching and her fashion. She gives a nod to South Carolina Cardoza the 6'7" Brazilian - and says goodbye to 6 ft -three point genius - Caitlin Clark - who brought the game of women's basketball in college - to new heights - and maybe even greater heights in the WNBA where Clark is going next.

    Ougi's court talks about Danielle Collins - the power and consistency that made her game a winning proposition for 13 matches. They note that she was crushing second serves - and perhaps the women on the WTA Tour should take note that taking out the second serve wins championships. Alexandra discusses her era in the early 2000s and how her first serve and second serve led the Tour. Alexandra and Ougi also talk about the Tiafoe-Shelton finals in Houston - and throw out coaching advice to Tiafoe, who got rid of his coach. Sadly, they talk about Nadal and not being able to play Monte Carlo. They wonder if Roland Garros will be in the cards for the likable Grand Slam Champion Nadal.

    Alexandra throws in some newsy notes about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, Beyonce and her Cowboy Carter album, and fashion meeting sport - with all the big designers looking to partner with elite athletes. Ougi reminds Alexandra that the Masters is around the corner - and he will be bringing his golf expertise to the podcast - as Ougi has a golf academy with his tennis academy.
