The finale of the 2023 US Open was unfortunately predictable, but this episode isn’t! Miranda and Katie venture away from exclusively talking about men’s singles and celebrate American Coco Gauff for winning her first slam! We focus on the positives of the US Open, like the lack of a certain man we hate, Dominic Striker wanting to dance with somebody, and a great act of sportsmanship. We mourn Matteo Berrettini’s injury again because we saw it live together. We talk about Lacoste being sustainable and recycling the 24-jacket for Novak Djokovic. And we round out the episode by looking forward to the Laver Cup and what doubles pairings we’d love to see on court! Hopefully, Bjorn Borg gives us a little bit of ~spice~ with the pairings.
