The Gay Tennis Podcast

We’re officially a Substack podcast! It’s almost as exciting as Serena and Carlos Alcaraz playing mixed doubles together. I head to the US Open TODAY (!) and wanted to record a short but important episode.
Some important information: If you want to continue listening to the free version of the podcast, you don’t need to do anything. The pod should show up on your podcast player as it normally does. BUT if you’d like to get additional articles, videos, podcast episodes and more (plus support the pod), use these links:

What’s in store for this episode besides me asking you to things? I chat:
* Serena and Carlos playing together
* American men heating up just in time
* Who is going to win the women’s event?
Lastly, listen to Tony guest with Aaron from Healing Arts from the Borderland.
There’s a lot more content to come from the US Open in the next few weeks. Don’t miss a thing by following us on Instagram, Twitter or the aforementioned Substack!
