Cheeky Volley

Ahead of the US market open and an over subscribed order book for NYSE: CVOL, we recap a brilliant performance from Carlitos Alcaraz, who overcame a copious amount of dark energy to win his first Wimbledon. We also discuss what this victory means for both Cheeky Charlie and Novak and look ahead to the North American hard court swing.

Cheeky cheeky... live from DC, London, & Houston, we breakdown the matchups of the big 4, discuss Sinner's grass court game, and offer an alternative way of assessing ATP performance and prospects. The tier system© is a probability-based ranking system that more accurately demonstrates the odds of player success in meaningful tournaments. Unlike the ATP points system, the tier approach© buckets players by who we expect to win, who we are not shocked by when they do win, and who require low likelihood outcomes to lift big trophies.

Brad Gilbert comes on for part two – totally kidding, but that would be chill #WinningUgly

In the aftermath of the Aussie Open, there is more to discuss than just Novak’s dominance. What did this tournament mean for Rafa’s future? The rebirth of American Tennis? Is it time to sell stock of Felix Auger-Aliassime and Hubert Hurkacz? Listen, like, share, and hit that underarm serve.

22 and counting. Novak wins his 10th Australian Open in a historically dominant grand slam run, dropping one set, and wiping the court with the likes of Andrey Rublev, Alex de Minaur and, finally, Stefanos Tsitsipas. This episode dives deep into the historical context of Novak’s victory and whether or not he is the GOAT. We discuss what type of statistical model could determine true GOAT status, moving away from emotion and oral histories to something more objective and rigorous. Listen, like, share, and stay cheeky m8s.

Sam Bankman-Fried's last chance to save himself is by an all-in NFT/Crypto Web3 play on Carlos Alcaraz to win the Australian Open 2023 in straight sets. Oh snap Sam – Carlitos is hurt, he tore the same semimembranosus muscle you thought you felt for that one moment whilst playing kickball in Palo Alto as a tween.

There is still an even safer play for you my friend. Novak is back and Cheeky Volley will share with you and our multinational following AO ATP predictions, first round matchups to watch, value bets, and what the outlook is for the ATP tour in 2023. Stats, analysis, banter, and even a guest appearance by Novak Djokovic’s father graces this episode. You know the drill. Go in peace my friends.

Tune in for a cheeky recap of the Wimbledon Men's Final, where a pasta fuelled Berrettini was no match for a gluten free Djokovic!  Bonus: what's next for Federer?  Back to Basel for a life of skiing and chocolate, or to NYC for one final shot at the US Open?

Cheeky Volley is back with Episode 27!  Kabir and Asher break down Djokovic vs. Nadal, which was one of the greatest and most consequential matches in tennis history, and then preview the men's final.  Will Novak be uninterrupted in his quest for GOAT status, or will Tsitsipas finally usher in the ATP Tour's next gen?  Tune in to find out m888s!

Daniil Medvedev is unfazed by this moment — he does not care what anyone thinks, and he feels pretty “ehh” about Cheeky Volley — even if they feature the Shakespeare of Tennis commentating — the legendary Robbie Koenig!

Somewhere between an epiphany during a car ride in upstate New York with his coach/trainer Gilles Cervara, and his pursuit of applied economics and commerce at the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Medvedev has cladded himself with cold blood and an unapologetic will to win.

Will Novak achieve his 18th Grand Slam title? Or, will the wiry and aloof Moscovite establish that the new guard has finally arrived?

Tune in to hear more from Cheeky Volley and to experience Koenig’s unparalleled enthusiasm for the sport of tennis.

After weeks of winter training for the ATP Challenger Tour in Monte Carlo, Kabir, Brett and Asher return to the Cheeky Volley Notting Hill Studio for Episode 25. They call up Tom Perfrement to discuss the state of Aussie tennis, Tom's cheeky junior match against Nick Kyrgios, Kyrgios' municipal bond portfolio and the men's draw.  Should Brett switch from Yonex to Tecnifibre...?  Cheers m8s!

What can we say, it has been a cheeky year.  The French Open is occurring during the Parisian fall, at limited capacity.  Yet still, nothing’s really changed — it’s Rafa, it’s Novak, it’s not Zverev, and it’s not Jannik Sinner... not yet at least.

The same sitcom is playing this year — Kramer bursts in to mooch some cereal from Jerry, just like Novak performing a near split to stretch for a backhand in a long physical rally with a trophy and a grand slam purse on the line.  You have come to expect it, haven’t you?

This episode is quick and dirty, like red clay spraying up as Rafa slides and finishes a buggy-whip.

Cheers m8s,
