BYOB: Bring Your Own Boris (Vienna & Basel)
Listen now
Description
Two ATP 500 tournaments this week means double the fun! At least for us, because the boys were hitting this week. In Vienna, we had our 13th Stefaniil match and while it lacked the flare of drama, we got a near cradle from Daniil to Stefanos. In the final, Daniil Medvedev’s curse continues and Jannik Sinner captures his fourth title this year. (Four titles for World #4!) In Basel, Felix Auger-Alissame defends his title against Hubi Hurkacz. Miranda gives the lowdown on just how bad Felix’s year has been, but it seems Felix’s love of indoor hard courts has saved his ranking for now. We also talk about everyone’s favorite basement, Paris Bercy! No reports of bed bugs but the race to Turin is getting squirrely.  New to tennis or trying to get a friend into the sport?
