  • Cup Sighs
    Oct 2 2025

    Paul is joined by the first member of the Ball Boy Development Program, tennis fanatic and hair deity Benjamin Kersten, to talk the ins and outs of the Asian swing of the ATP and WTA tours. We give some love to Iga and Coco for their recent form on and off the court, have some ideas for how to get butts in the seats at the China Open, and try to solve the mystery of Jannik Sinner’s tummy. And in Cross Court we have the case of Cup Sighs, to figure out how to make the schedule just a little bit less insane.

  • A Taurus Trap - Our US Open Recap
    Sep 10 2025

    The Ball Boys are wrapping up the US Open like half the field is wrapping up their shoulders, wrists, and egos. Tune in as Paul and Matthew run down the top moments from the men’s and women’s competitions. We celebrate the Taurus champions Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka who really are meeting the moment. We have SIX Lobsbians for you from the players puppy cam to red hot matches. And we return with another case of Cross Court, the case of Public Indecency. Tune in and hear the verdict.

  • Sets and the City
    Aug 24 2025

    And Just Like That, we’re back in the Big Apple for one last slam in 2025. And Matthew Coleman is back, debuting a hot new beard and some extra hot takes on all the action leading up to the US Open. We send off Cincinnati in true WKRP fashion, debate what worked and didn’t about the mixed doubles at the Open (let’s just say we were mixed about the mixed), and we consult our crystal balls for the stories, upsets, and big winners to look for over the next two weeks in New York.
