WTA Wimbledon Draw Preview & Round 1 Day 1
ITS MUDAFKN GRANDSLAM SZN BABY!!!!!
3 HOUR EPISODE OF ME TALKING NON STOP.
STRAP THE F*** UP, AND GOOD LUCK!!!
Roland Garros - SF
Coco won 6 games against Iga, 2 more than average, and Bia was amazing. How disappointing have the men's night sessions been? And how crazy is it that Le Monf was the only memorable one. Can Muchova go all the way? Why is the BHM total so low?
And much more.
WTA Roland Garros - QF - Day 2
I talk about the Unluckiest Generation at length, and get into how good today's matches were.
Just like that, Muchova is in the semis. Sabalenka played great, but can play even better.
Djokovic is not human. Carlos showed Tsitsipas levels.
WTA Roland Garros - QF - Day 1
Coco Gauff x Iga Swiatek is set, can't wait for that.
Ons x Bia is a great QF, as well as every match we have on Tuesday!
Enjoy, and thank you for your support, and best of luck to us all!!!
WTA Roland Garros - Round 4 Day 2
Is Sabalenka playing good, or no? How lowkey is Muchova's run? How disgusting are tomorrow's matches?
And much more, as well as the new 'outrage' on Tennis Twitter.
WTA Roland Garros
The worst things happen to the best people. Why?
WTA Roland Garros - Round 3 Day 2
Elise Mertens masterclass? or Jessie Pegula disasterclass? Is Mirra Andreeva LIKE THAT? How good was Sabalenka today?
And much more.
WTA Roland Garros - Round 3 Day 1
I hit you guys with the "I have something to talk about" spiel, that often, and quite quickly, turn into a rant.
ENJOY AND BEST OF LUCK!!!!
WTA Roland Garros - Round 2 Day 2
Things seemed to have slowed down, after the first few days of proper madness.
Or have they? Would it be a good or bad thing, if the madness stopped?
LE MONF
I recorded my live reaction of the last few moments of the Monfils x Baez match. WHAT A MATCH.
As always, I recap all matches from today, and preview all matches from tomorrow. You can call this the 'WTA Roland Garros - Round 2 Day 1' episode.
WTA Roland Garros - Round 1 Day 3
MADNESS
WTA Roland Garros - Round 1 Day 2
The return of 'the best thing I saw, the worst thing I saw, and the CRAZIEST thing I saw', along with my recap of ALL of Day 1 matches, and my preview of ALL Day 2 matches.
WTA Roland Garros - Round 1 Day 1
ITS MUDAFKN GRANDSLAM SZN BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I preview every single R1 match for the opening day at the French. I seriously cannot wait. Some very good matches, and very exciting times ahead.
It feels like it's been a while since we got this many quality matches on day 1, of any tournament.
Once again, thank you so much for your support, and allowing me to be a part of your preparation for the tourney!!!
BEST OF LUCK TO US ALL!!!!!!!
WTA Roland Garros Preview

WTA AO Draw Preview - Round 1 Day 1
<li>My thoughts on the Break Point docuseries that released on Netflix.</li>
<li>The outrage surrounding Jack Draper x Rafa Nadal</li>
<li>Toni Nadal is dead-wrong about FAA.</li>
<li>THE WTA DRAW IN ALL ITS GLORY!</li>
<li>Go bet Sabalenka to win it.</li>
</ol>
Spidey Senses: Danger Lingers
My interesting theory on how Rafael Nadal won the AO last year (and IW and RG consequently.)
Business end of AO Qualis, as well as Adelaide and Hobart.
Kvitova is winning it all!
Life isn't Fair
Noskova is out in the 1R of AO Qualis, after her remarkable week in Adelaide and her rise to World #56. Life isn't fair.
I give my pick for who's going to win Adelaide, as well as the usual run down on all the matches taking place today.
You're Fired
Should Conchita Martinez still have a job as Muguruza's coach? I recap all of yesterday's matches and preview all of today's.
Operation fade Anisimova, Qinwen, Badosa is the operation that will make us BANK this year.
2022 is a Distant Memory
Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic remind us that, with their title winning weeks in Australia, 2022 is a distant memory.
I have a look at the Adelaide 2 draw, and discuss Monday matchups there, Hobart, and AO Qualis.
Let's continue to be great
15 Seconds
Happy New year to us all. This year, we will be great!
Enjoy the record-breaking episode!
WTA Finals - Day 2 Recap & Day 3 Preview
Biggest game of the entire group stage in my opinion today: Ons x Pegula
I talk about all the possible scenarios in this group of death. I also talk about yesterday's opening round matches in Iga's group.
Daily reminder: Nobody is worried about Coco Gauff, except for her dad.
WTA Finals - Day 1 Recap & Day 2 Preview - Iga Swiatek Special
Dedicated portion to preview Iga Swiatek on today's episode, as promised. I also recap day 1 of single's action and discuss soem possible scenarios in 'the group of death'. The other group kicks off today, doesn't offer much promise or excitement, but good luck to us!
Reminder: Nobody is worried about Coco Gauff, except for her dad.
WTA Finals Preview - Group Stage - Day 1
Welcome back. I talk about the 8 participants in this year's WTA finals. I also preview the groups and provide a short commentary on each player and what their chances look like.
Nobody is worried about Coco Gauff, except for her dad. Put it on a T-shirt.
WTA US Open Draw Preview & Round 1 Day 1
US Open SZN is upon us and we have a lot to get to. I summarize the NA hardcourt swing, and preview the entire draw and fill out the bracket. I give my opinion on future bets, talking about who I think you SHOULD and SHOULDN'T bet on. Samsonova isn't going to win the USO, but Sabalenka might.
