Open Era

It wasn't a great year, sure, but there were moments of brilliance on the court that we needed to highlight at least one more time. On this week’s show, Simon and Devang welcome @blockedpartypod’s John Cullen (@cullenthecomic) and go in-depth on Denis Shapovalov’s 5-set comeback win over Taylor Fritz. The guys chat 2020, what Denis showed us that day in New York, and plenty more.
