Reclaiming Our Time
No we will NOT be talking about any foolishness (male) that happened during the culmination of grass court season (looking at you Ackman, Bill and Kyrgios, Nicholas) and instead we will celebrate what needs celebrating: 2025 Singles Champions Iga Swiatek and Jannik Sinner, whose feet were fleet, shoulders relaxed and strike zones aided by sun-hardened courts. A look back at some glorious also rans from both draws with special shout outs to the spectacular tournament for Amanda Anisimova and the Sliding Doors tragedy of Grigor Dmitrov.

Rennae & Petko From The Championships
Rennae and Andrea snag a few moments between hits to discuss some of the shocking (and not-so-shocking) first round exits, including Coco Gauff's loss to Yastremska, Zverev's five-setter (and mentality issues) as well as Fabio Fognini Fabio Fognining everywhere, like Lord of the Rings. Are Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz the Tik Tok versions of Federer & Nadal? Plus, we dedicate this episode to Rennae's mum, whose favorite tournament was Wimbledon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chef's Kiss
Rennae and Caitlin swap positions on clay—the latter is done with it and Rennae wants to savor these last moments of the season on terre battue. And what a series of moments it was—two epic and drama-filled finals of this year's Roland Garros—both possessing of incredible narratives on (and off) court. We both give a full chapeau to Coco Gauff's unreal self belief and self possession in weathering the storm of Aryna Sabalenka, who played one of the most brilliant matches of the tournament to take out Iga Swiatek in the semis. On the men's side, an instant classic.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
