We started this podcast six months ago with Tsitsislander, but now it's time for Tsitsidosa. (Although Katie does throw in quite a bit of Tsitsislander.) Before we talk about the relationship between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Paula Badosa, we talk about Roland Garros. This was recorded a lifetime ago and for that, we apologize. Novak Djokovic won his 23rd slam, whatever, whatever, good job, but there are much more important topics to talk about. Miranda considers the branding of players and whether public opinion sways based on facial hair. Katie tries to care about this topic even though everything she’s learned has been forced upon her. Then we briefly glaze over grass and mourn Matteo Berrettini’s favorite part of the season.
