We traveled across the world and spent a ton of money to come to Roland Garros. And what's the first thing we want to podcast about? A match between Sara Errani and Anna-Lena Friedsam in the second round of qualifying. We don't get it either - but here we are. Listen to hear why this match changed Tony's life, and more importantly, how it made him a Sara Errani stan.

We break down:

• Tony's history with Errani
• How she won him over
• The match that will go down as the best match at RG 2025 (no matter what happens from here)

Follow along with David’s reporting on tennis.com ahead of RG. And to follow our RG journey (we're going!), join us on Twitter and Instagram!

• More Pope talk from Rome: Musetti, Sinner and Fognini all have moments in Rome.

This week we’re joined by the creators of Fairlight! Hear us talk about Sabine Lisicki, Jack Draper, Wimbledon, and of course, their project Fairlight. 

Fairlight is truly a multimedia experience of an electro-pop musical performed on a tennis court with video components...and it explores the history of homophobia in tennis through the years. Learn more about it here.

Before the interview, Tony talks about his experience getting Roland Garros tickets and a small procedure he had earlier this week. For more from us, find us on Twitter and Instagram! And if you're enjoying the pod, please give us a 5-star review!

Can you believe it has been 10 years (!!) since Serena completed her second Serena slam in 2015?! We can’t. And we’re still not over it. 

Join us and fellow Tony, Serena stan and creator of the Tennis Watchers substack (tjc05 on Twitter and Bluesky) as we break down Serena’s 2015 tournament by tournament. 

In Part 1, we talk through Serena’s jam packed January - March 2015, which included: 

• Serena’s famous espresso request in Hopman Cup
• Her big Australian Open slam win over Sharapova (and the truly iconic “come on” match)
• Her return to Indian Wells after 14 years of boycotting it
• Winning the Miami Open for the 8th and final time

Serena’s return in Indian Wells was a cultural moment. Read Serena’s piece on it in Time here, plus an ESPN article about what went on behind the scenes. Venus, who returned a year later, also wrote a piece about IW in The Player’s Tribune - it's definitely worth a read.
