Description
Starting off on a difficult subject - the invasion of Ukraine and the response from tennis authorities and the players affected by it. As always, it’s fair to ask who sets the moral standards and what’s the right thing to do, even if we don't have easy answers. On to more positive news, the WTA gets a new title sponsor at a critical time, going from cigarettes to a women’s health company in 50 years. The ATP has some rhetorical fun with the Zverev non-decision and leaves umpires out to dry. Plus, did Novak attempt another stunt in this never ending saga?
1:10 Tennis’ response to the war in Ukraine - what should a sport’s leadership do in wartime?
11:40 Is there any precedent? Banning South Africa and the trouble of who sets moral standards
20:00 WTA gets a new title sponsor and … a Mary J. Blige crossover?
31:40 The Zverev decision -- a suspension and fine, just kidding lol
43:30 Novak Djokovic will sacrifice titles for his principles but would, like, prefer not to
52:10 Ash & Babs pull out of Indian Wells
59:55 Leylah Fernandez defends Monterrey amidst a lighting crisis! It’s always something
64:55 Federer return, Lepchenko’s 4-year ban, and Kristie Ahn’s retirement
