The boys kick things off by diving into the grass court season, weighing the pros and cons of the Queen’s and Halle tournaments. Along the way, they share some hilarious anecdotes—plus, Sam learns the hard truth that winning Queen’s might not be as impressive as he once thought.
Next, the crew breaks down the US Open Mixed Doubles entry list, unpacking the quirky new format and some spicy team pairings—like Alcaraz and Raducanu. Turns out, Sam’s hot take from last year might actually be coming true.
The episode wraps with a fun segment imagining what jobs top tennis players would have if they weren’t on tour. From Alcaraz as a cabana boy to Sinner working at an amusement park, the guys deliver some oddly accurate (and laugh-out-loud) hypothetical scenarios.
