On the 25th anniversary of her triumphant return to 'our home and native land' at the Canadian Open in 1995, the guys recognize and honour the achievements of the great Monica Seles.
An incredible 'ground and pound' game and undeniable dominance led her to eight grand slams before turning 20, Monica's journey would take an unexpected and tragic turn, change the course of her career. Leaning into the issue of mental health in sport, Aldwin and Jason analyze what might have been if not for the stabbing incident that rocked tennis and the sports world.
Would Steffi have achieved 22 slam titles? Would Monica have ever conquered the grass at Wimbledon? Does she know she's an icon to countless tennis gays? And of course, lest we forget that legendary grunt... often replicated, never duplicated! The guys also discuss recent revelations shared by Robin Soderling about living with severe anxiety and the parallel ways in which both his and Monica's careers ended. 
But first, Aldwin and Jason get personal. Is it okay to cry after losing a club practice match?
