Hopefully the sky clears for long enough in Monte-Carlo for a match to be completed, but we’re opening the umbrella to get you the info anyways. We start out this episode with a recap of some of last week’s tournaments, as well as a run down of the latest ITF study, "Exploring Sports Gender Equality in the Media," where we discuss the portrayal and perception of women in tennis (and sports in general) compared to men. After wrapping up that discussion in Hot Headlines, we jump into Tennis Talk. As we “preview” the Monte-Carlo Masters, we take a deep dive into the draw and discuss which top seeds and dark horses we think could make a run. So far, Rafael Nadal is Shravya’s pick to win and Stefanos Tsitsipas is Josefina’s, so stick around to see how they fare in the draw and who our personal faves are to take home the trophy (hint: a certain Argentinian Disney fan is who we're rooting for...).
