On this episode Paul and Matthew are going the full monty in Monte Carlo and dishing the dirt about clay.  And no, we don’t mean our ex.  We’ve got your covered from Houston to Charleston to the Riviera bringing you the highlights and insights with Balls on the Ground.  Plus we updated the BaeTP rankings and have another new number 1.  

We’re wrapping up Miami and the Sunshine double and boy are our mouths tired.  Paul and Ivy break down the action with some fresh Lobsbians that will take your breath away, and the Novak deep state code has finally been cracked. Plus we have a new segment, Balls on the Ground, with firsthand takes from Miami.  And of course we’ve updated the BaeTP rankings with some surprising new entrants.  Head over to our Instagram @tbbtennis for the full list.

On this episode of the Ball Boys we are fresh out of the desert and boy are we hoarse.  We’re recapping Indian Wells with a few not so surprising winners (did we actually predict this one?!) and we’re calling bologna on the Indian Wells cuisine. Plus we talk about the most extra country in tennis, and of course we mean Romania.  And finally we debut the BaeTP Rankings, taking into account performance on and off the court for the men’s tour.  Check it out and see who comes out on top.  

On this episode we are joined by writer and tennis insider Ivy Pochoda to navigate the wild world of tennis on and off the court. Catch up on the latest hottie bracket news, including the addition of a qualifications round! And we gear up for Indian Wells by talking about the blockbusters that the tennis Gods might be giving us in the third and fourth rounds.

Since 2025 is turning out to be pretty damn messy and the Ball Boys aren't holding anything back. We're putting the Butt in Rebuttal with our in-depth probing of the "Hottie Bracket," have an immodest proposal for all doping going forward, and celebrate the ladies of the WTA who have to put up with messes that frankly a Ball Boy just misses.  Tune in, get dirty, keep it clean.  

*In keeping with the theme of "Messy" a previous version had some technical issues, so if that one downloaded, ignore her; this is the one you want.

The ball boys are bouncing around the globe hitting all our favorite 500's and eating up the results and insane trick shots. We talk the Dallas Open which is hotter than ever as a 500 and on the heels of Queen B winning AOTY at last week's Grammys.  Plus we honor two timing broads - that’s a bad girls club we want to join - and Paul and Matthew almost come to blows over calls the chair umpires are just plain blowing.  And we are both applying for the new job of Official Ball Czar. 

The Ball Boys are recapping the Australian Open, shoving everything we can into our extra wide segment of This Week At The Tennis. We celebrate Madison Keys who single handedly saved the tournament and provided a bright spot in a very questionable 2025, plus we talk about how she metamorphosized and how important it is for the players (and the rest of us) to be adaptable. All that plus Matthew wants to sign us all up for BallCoin and Paul is looking for love in the Ballchelor. And stick around at the end to play our new game from down under, Slip Slop Slap to see how players can metamorphosize their games in 2025.

It’s an extra long episode so enjoy it all at once uncut or if you prefer cut there's 3 segments for your pleasure. Mwuah.

The Ball Boys are back and ballsier than ever. On the premiere episode of 2025 we have our first ever Lady Ball Boy, Ivy Pochoda, novelist, writer for Racquet Magazine and Second Serve, and former professional squash player. On this episode we breakdown the first slam of the season, profile out ATP player João Lucas Reis da Silva and what coming out might do to his game, and Ivy tells us maybe the greatest doping story ever told. Buckle up, it's 2025.

Welcome to our special rear-end...I mean year-end episode where we celebrate the highs, lows, and blows of 2024 with the first annual Ballies. Tune in to find out who wins Worst Man, Tennis Supreme, and the Lobsbian of the year. Plus a special Steel Ballie for the player who has balls. And today Paul is joined by two Matthew's because two in the hand is better than one in the net.

On this episode of The Ball Boys we're putting the silly in resilience and the barbs in Barbora. It’s officially the end of the season, and the Rafa era.  Some players went out with a bang and some hit snooze til 2025.  We recap the highlights of the ATP and WTA finals, including the latest hot take from Chat LGBT, and we play Billie Jean is my Lover to predict what will be named after her next.  All this with special guest Ball Boy Matthew Coleman where we finally decide who’s on top in this super-sized episode.
