Journalist & Reporter Jon Wertheim joins the podcast to discuss the first week of action from the 2022 US Open, which has had no shortage of drama. Wertheim discusses what is in all likelihood the end of Serena Williams' historic career, and what her legacy looks like on and off of the court. The Executive Editor at Sports Illustrated also breaks down Rafael Nadal's impressive performance through three rounds, Daniil Medvedev's role as the favorite, and which men's players can stand in the way of these former US Open Champions.

The women's draw will feature a first-time champion, and Wertheim discusses Iga Swiatek & Coco Gauff's status as the top two favorites remaining. The International Tennis Hall of Fame (ITHF) is set to honor Wertheim with the Gene Scott Award for clear & critical communication in the sport, and the renowned journalist reflects on that honor as well. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
