We love the new Battle of the Sexes! Just kidding, we hate it and its cynical, gross and insultingly crude existence. We talk all things WTA Finals—matchups, blowouts, blowups and more, as well as go in depth about the brilliant critique of the failure of tennis' establishment to offer good digital content. Sorry, but watching players create meme content is an insult to our intelligence. Plus: shoutout to a Mandarin speaking Anna Blinkova. Hen hao!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Step It Up
After an action-packed week, Rennae and Caitlin are back, and the end of the year is staring us down the barrel! We talk Saudi Masters 1000, Mira Andreeva's visa snafu and lessons for everyone to learn. If you're gonna wake up in the morning and play pro tennis, come to WIN. Otherwise, call it a day and head to the Maldives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Cousins, Kyrgios
Well how about those cousins—what the triumphant showing in Shanghai between Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech (and let's not forget their lady cousin Chloe Pacquet) means for Novak Djokovic's final act as well as Meddy and the lost generation. Plus: A stubborn Coco prevails in Wuhan, JPeg's exhausting run to the finals and a Nick Kyrgios in his feelings about getting a podcast snub from Andy Murray.

If if if
At this point, who is going to be able to make it through this meat grinder of a season? Do the the tour finals still matter no matter how many friends they lose, or people they leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way? Plus: No matter who REALLY started the conspiracy theories about courts getting slower (looking at you, Roger), you can count on Alex Zverev to whine about it.

Lazy Susan of Lawsuits
The tennis establishment is facing yet another complaint from players, and this one's got the top players signed on and is repped by the big guns—Larry Scott. Let's see if they can make progress on meaningful profit sharing, player organizing and schedule changes. They'd better before the Asia swing completely collapses from retirements! We talk Coco vs. Belinda, Meddy vs. Zverev and the encouraging addition to Lerner Tien's entourage in the form of Michael Chang.
