In the latest episode of NML Interviews, Cole and Keith had the pleasure of speaking with Omni Kumar following his big week in Winston-Salem! Omni is only 21 years old, made is ATP Tour debut in Los Cabos, made the round of 16 in Winston-Salem and has now cracked inside the top 350 in the world rankings! Look for him and his unique backhand to fly up the ranks in the near future!

The past week was an eventful one! Although the week leading up to the US Open is usually a bit of a dud, there was some decent tennis! Baez took out Lehecka to win the Winston-Salem Open and Sorribes Tormo outlasted Alexandrova to win the title in Cleveland! The most exciting thing to happen in the week leading up to the final slam of the year was our very own Keith Gorman put a ring on it! Tune in to hear about how the wedding went, some US Open predictions and also some favorite moments of past in Flushing Meadows!

The Masters 1000 in Cincinnati has come to an end and what a fun week it was! Alcaraz and Djokovic provided the tennis world with the best match of 2023. Bar none. This 3 hour 49 minute match was pure cinema from start to finish. This match had it all: borderline heat stroke, medical timeouts, uncharacteristic double faults, phenomenal shotmaking, match points saved, and an epic shirt rip. Vintage Novak. On the women's side, Coco Gauff continues her hot streak on the North American hard courts. She followed up her WTA 500 win in DC with a quarterfinal masters run in Montreal, and then winning her first WTA 1000 tournament in Cincinnati! Lastly, NML discusses whether the WTA just forgot to schedule the WTA Finals in their last board meeting or they are just holding off telling everyone for months on end. Where the hell will it be? Who knows!

The beautiful country of Canada provided an excellent week of tennis in Montreal and Toronto this past week! Jessica Pegula wins her first title of the year, and its a big one! Sinner captures his first (hopefully of many) Master's 1000 titles! The guys also talk about an absurd take that is going around about 71% of amateur players think they could win a game off a pro player. Not a chance. Cole may think differently though...listen to find out! Lastly, Cincinnati is this week and should be a great tournament! Both sides have the top 16 players in the world playing! Loaded field! Enjoy some skyline chili and a rollercoaster ride this week!

This week's episode of NML Interviews features a fantastic tennis writer, Amisha Savani. She is co-author of 'The People's Wimbledon' and is a contributor for Courts Magazine.

What a fun week of tennis! The Mubadala Citi Open in Washington DC was an absolute hit! Both Fred and Keith were able to attend and have plenty to share from the on site experience to catching up with old friends and Tiafoe's! Coco Gauff takes home her first 500 event and first title on American soil! Dan Evans was able secure the biggest title of his career and move into 21st on the rankings list, a career high for the Brit! Evans was on a 7 match tour-level losing streak prior to lifting the trophy this week! What a sport, man. In Los Cabos, Alex de Minaur keeps his unbeaten streak in Mexico alive before falling to Stefanos Tsitsipas in the final! Great match and great reaction from Stef winning this 250 title! This upcoming week, the men head to Toronto and the women are in Montreal for 1000 events! Should be a fun week north of the border!

Last week on tour, Keith's 'getting the bump' pick Alexei Popyrin takes home the title in Umag, Iga wins in Warsaw, Zverev wins in Hamburg, Fritz wins Atlanta! The topic of 'Getting the bump' leads the conversation towards the question: Why do we root for certain players? The debate is great and lots of fun to hear different opinions! The ATP/WTA 500 event in DC takes place this week! Fred will be on the grounds majority of the week and Keith will make an appearance for the finals!

In this week's interview we are joined by Andy Katz, College Basketball analyst for the NCAA, Turner Network, BigTen Network and NBATV.
