Sorry for the time off, everyone! The personified tennis ball in our logo had to go work for the tournament in Rotterdam. There was nothing we could do. 

All jokes aside, we’re back to talk about tournaments in Montpellier, Dallas, Marseille, Cordoba, Rotterdam, Delray Beach, and Buenos Aires! It’s almost enough to make us beg for a two-week Masters 1000! We also discuss the great social media content that has been coming out lately from official accounts, Morgan Riddle’s Super Bowl experience, and a couple of tennis player profiles that prove it’s fine to write fanfiction about players if you have a journalism degree. 

Finally, we finish off the episode with a game that’s a trip down memory lane as we look back at some of our earliest tennis-related text conversations from 2022. As expected, plenty of our takes have aged like milk.
