Episode 76: Hooray for Tay-Tay, No Wait for Kontaveit
Manage episode 326624599 series 3342480
Indoor season madness continues with action at the Paris Masters and the Billie Jean King Cup! We start off by discussing two important Hot Headlines: player vaccination requirements for the Australian Open and Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai’s recent sexual accusations against Zhao Gaoli and the government’s efforts to silence her. In Tennis Talk we update you on Finals action at the Billie Jean King Cup, discussing Team Russia’s firepower, USA’s narrow semifinal qualification, and the close match-up between the Czech Republic and Switzerland to come. In Paris, we highlight Djokovic and Medvedev’s tour level indoor hardcourt debuts but focus our attention to the real deal at Paris: the (not so under) underdogs. Tay-Tay Fritz, Cam Norrie, Dominik Koepfer, and Sebastian Korda are all included in our discussion. Last but not least, we update you on the WTA Race to Guadalajara and the ATP Race to Turin as we talk about Anett Kontaveit’s magical qualification run, Ons Jabeur’s humorous sportswomanship, and the battle for the last few spots in Turin. Enjoy!
