The Ball Boys put the rear in year-end with the ATP and WTA Finals.  Paul is joined by media darling, Brooklyn tennis icon, and co-creator of Talk Hole, Eric Schwartau, to break down the final stops on the tour.  We discuss the ASMR of tennis, debate tennis etiquette and that tainted WTA finals ceremony. Plus we cover who came out on top in 2025 between Carlos and Jannik and we have some predictions of who might be retiring and who’s taking home some big trophies in 2026.  And we end with a new case in Cross Court, where the new ATP logo is put on trial in the case we’re calling “whatever happened to fun.”

The Ball Boys are putting the slice in sliced and diced for a special Halloween episode.  Paul is joined by OutLoud Sports’ own Adam Laroche (@adamlaroche) and we cover the ghouls and goblins of the tour from Shagnhai to Basel. We talk about our favorite final girl moments, and review tennis terrors with “She Already Done Had Curses.”  Plus we have some ideas on where the next Masters 1000 should really take place and how to drag up Wimbledon for week two.  And our Lobsbians span everything from the No Kings March to butterfly nets to diss tracks.  

Paul is joined by the first member of the Ball Boy Development Program, tennis fanatic and hair deity Benjamin Kersten, to talk the ins and outs of the Asian swing of the ATP and WTA tours.  We give some love to Iga and Coco for their recent form on and off the court, have some ideas for how to get butts in the seats at the China Open, and try to solve the mystery of Jannik Sinner’s tummy.  And in Cross Court we have the case of Cup Sighs, to figure out how to make the schedule just a little bit less insane.  

The Ball Boys are wrapping up the US Open like half the field is wrapping up their shoulders, wrists, and egos.  Tune in as Paul and Matthew run down the top moments from the men’s and women’s competitions. We celebrate the Taurus champions Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka who really are meeting the moment.  We have SIX Lobsbians for you from the players puppy cam to red hot matches.   And we return with another case of Cross Court, the case of Public Indecency.  Tune in and hear the verdict.  

And Just Like That, we’re back in the Big Apple for one last slam in 2025.  And Matthew Coleman is back, debuting a hot new beard and some extra hot takes on all the action leading up to the US Open.  We send off Cincinnati in true WKRP fashion, debate what worked and didn’t about the mixed doubles at the Open (let’s just say we were mixed about the mixed), and we consult our crystal balls for the stories, upsets, and big winners to look for over the next two weeks in New York. 

The Ball Boys are back with a Canadian Open recap where we continue a season of firsts.  First wins, first masters titles, first dates!  Ivy and Paul cover the tournaments highs and lows including a fresh set of Cold Plays.  We have a deep dive into Ben Shelton - has he found a new gear that the tour should be afraid of? And why is the gear he wears always drenched in sweat? And we finish things off with Cross Court, where we are the line judge and jury in the case of the Messed up Mixed Doubles.  

The Ball Boys have a new B in town, with Coach B joining us to break down the action from the ATP and WTA tours.  We’re recapping the hot hot action coming out of DC, including live reactions to the men’s final.  Sorry Ms Kidman, heartbreak does NOT feel good in a place like this.  We also have this summer’s must see TV show, where Venus finds a new mixed doubles partner Bachelorette style.  And we try our first case in a new segment of tennis transgressions in Cross Court.  Come on in, this court is in session!

Pop the corks and toss the strawberries, we are done with Wimbledon.  Join Paul and Colby to break down the hits and misses from two weeks on grass. We sum up the tournament by deciding how many balls it gets in our new rating system S.E.R.V.E.  Plus we have a proposal for how to save the players sanity, no cap - actually all cap.  And we finish off with a game that deciphers how Novak Djokovic can get to 25 grand slams.  

It’s time for the Crown Jewel of the Grand Slams and we’re breaking down the grass, talking trash, and covering the sass.  Reporter, former top junior, and grass enthusiast Colby Grey (no relation to Sasha or Kerri) joins as this week’s co-host and talks about his time playing with some of today’s pros and he does his best to keep Federer in the GOAT debate.  Plus we have a few modest proposals for the tour, like why not let us tip for a great match if we’re tipping for everything else?  And we make our always spot on predictions for who’s going deep at Wimbledon and who’s bottoming out early. 

For this special Father’s Day episode we’re celebrating all the dads and daddies of the tennis tour.  Join Paul and Ivy as we cover as many dads as possible and play some brand new games like Who’s Your Daddy, and Dad, Daddy, or Dandy.  We talk about our favorite dads of the tour and predict who will be the next dad to win a grand slam.  And of course we have a new BaeTP but this one is just for the dads.
