History was made in men’s tennis this week: Joao Lucas Reis Da Silva became the first out gay male player to compete in a main draw of an ATP tournament. It was a huge moment! And how did I celebrate it? By eating my body weight in food and asking people to take random photos of me. I share my ridiculous day leading up to watching Joao make history (and making us all so proud). He was amazing. I was not. Hear it all in this fun episode!

I also talk briefly about what an amazing week of tennis this was in general. For more from us, follow along on Twitter, TikTok and Instagram. And if you're enjoying this podcast, please rate and review 5 stars. Thank you!
