This time we cover the ATP awards and discuss a bit about the winners and the nominees, as well as some of our concerns and wishes for what would probably make better awarding systems in the future.

Really fun times where Andre and Owen chat about Owen's path to undying tennis passion. Owen is an aspiring tennis writer who reads a lot. Andre is a tennis fan who watches highlights and hot shot reels. This was a good conversation.

Listen to this episode to hear Owen's awesome book recommendations!

In this episode we talk about the ATP Nitto Finals as it ends its time in London, now to be held in Turin starting 2021. 

Danill Medvedev was the winner, not losing any matches this time in contrast with last season, when he lost every single one. On his way, he beat Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, and Dominic Thiem, world's number 1, 2, and 3 respectively. Thiem also beat both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal en route to the final. His matches against the world's top 2 players and GOAT candidates were arguably the best ones of the tournament. The future of these players is interesting: where we would normally have gotten a Djokovic vs Nadal final, we got a Medvedev vs Thiem, as both of them beat the Big 3 members in the semis. What will happen in the next slams? Do these results mean something or are they just hiccoughs? 

Plus, we have a great announcement in this episode! Listen to the first 2 minutes to find out :D

Vansh and I discuss Vienna, where Djokovic lost shockingly to Sonego, a Lucky Loser, but cliched year end number 1 for the sixth time in the ATP rankings. And then Rublev got another title in his incredible 2020 season, beating Djokovic's conqueror in the final. On other news, Jonathan Millman finally won his first ATP title in the 250 level tournament in Nur-Sultan. Just a couple days after Vansh tweeted that he was a a sad list of best players that never won a title. Good on him that he managed to move to the winners circle!

And then, Paris, where Nadal will play and has a chance (a big chance) of adding a third indoor hard court title to his name. His best chance yet, since he is physically fresh like he has never been before. Could be a catalyst to the ATP Finals in London right after.

Where Vansh talks about how he started to play tennis, how he got into it, who was his favourite player? Well, if you read this caption, you will know that he found 2 Prince rackets in a back alley dumpster, liked the rhythm of the game, and the 2008 Wimbledon Men's final between Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer was the first match he watched on tv. Crazy.

We also chat about Felix Auger Aliassime, Sam Querry, Australian Open, Covid, and the race to number 1 between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. Not much chance to Nadal, but he could steal his first ATP Finals in London, as this is the first time ever he is physically fresh. Could this be the one?
