Surprise! The vault is open, and we’re finally catching up on the tournaments that have happened during our (unplanned) hiatus! In today’s episode, we’re finishing off the US Open and discussing the various Laver/Davis Cups. We recorded this back in September, but still wanted to bring y’all the content, so please be patient with us as we catch up. I mean, we couldn’t just breeze past Taylor Swift showing up to the US Open Final. Also included: Katie’s heartbreak over the Ramsbury doubles team breakup and an unexpected respect for indoor tennis tournaments.  New to tennis or trying to get a friend into the sport?
