The 2023 tennis season is barreling toward the finish line. First up: the Canadian women win their first ever BJK/Fed Cup behind huge performances by Leylah Fernandez, Marina Stakusic, and Gaby Dabrowski. Novak Djokovic distances himself even farther from the field by dominating Alcaraz and Sinner to win the ATP Finals. There was a ton of discussion about throwing a round robin match to remove the #1 player – and plenty of good reasons for and against – but in the end it was moot, as Jannik Sinner went undefeated in round robin only to be overpowered by Djokovic in the final. Elsewhere, it’s the end of Newport, Atlanta, Krejcikova-Siniakova, and Murray-Lendl (for the third time). Plus, that Defector story about Racquet and some self-reflection about where we’ve been and where we’d like the podcast to go.
01:30 Canada wins its first BJK Cup!
06:30 Novak is not bothered by the field. At all.
09:00 To tank or not to tank (Well, it’s actually a problem of design, not ethics)
17:50 The final: Novak outhits and outserves Sinner
28:00 Newport and Atlanta out
30:10 Rafa returning? Plus the era’s best doubles pairing is over
34:15 Defector story about the upheaval at Racquet
41:30 Some meta-reflection on where we are with the podcast
