“Alex Gruskin’s passion for tennis is unmatched! Its really fun to listen to him. Even though I really only have time to watch the pros, i appreciate his commitment to covering tennis at all levels. His love for the game is contagious”

“The Mini-break podcast is in a position where it has a great opportunity to be a consistent one-of-a-kind daily tennis podcast, yet it squanders this opportunity because our host Alex Gruskin intermittently has other events and obligations he attends to without there being a secondary host, and...”Read full review »

“I listen to Gruskin on this show for so many reasons. (1) to keep up with everything going on in tennis, (2) for Alex’s clear vision of the most important developments and narratives in the game — he takes a big daily mass of updates and news, and turns them into stories that are accurate,...”Read full review »

“The daily host feels very spot on with his analysis of all things Tennis. He just needs to keep the guest contributors to the topic of Tennis and stay out of politics”

“Great insight and analysis, but cut it out already with the constant repetition about the charges against Zverev. You pay lip service to the presumption of innocence, but your actual, constant comments effectively treat him as guilty. There is an actual criminal process underway and until that...”Read full review »

“I feel a bit bad leaving a critical review because I do value the daily podcast helping us fans keep up with tennis.
However I find the bro-ish energy quite exhausting. I think it’s a bit strange that I’ve never heard an episode with a female co-host. I also wish that host was a little less...”Read full review »

“I love how Alex Gruskin know absolutely everything that is tennis and college tennis. He is the best Michigan Tennis Fan of all time, although they publish the podcast sometimes too late, they still do a good job. The guests are amazing as well, the way they talk about tennis and the tournaments...”Read full review »

“Alex is pretty incredible at what he does. To be able to host a (almost) daily podcast and know so much about all these various matches (even college tennis which I could care less about), both men’s and women’s tours, is extremely impressive. He has a gift of gab, and can really talk about...”Read full review »

Alex covers every tournament, every week, making sure to give each event their time and let listeners know what match ups and storylines they should watch for. It's rare to...”Read full review »

“Alex is great, funny and informative Love that he talks about all the players in top 20, 50 and the up and coming ones Because contemplations concerning RF, Rafa and Novak are overdone, Love that his podcasts are daily and up to date. He is engaging solo or with a guest”

“I know there is food information there but the host has a voice problem as well as a much-too-fast delivery problem. When there are guests. The host speaks over them. I heard the acid reflux excuse, but I think that is just part of the problem. Maybe adjust the medication? It’s just too hard to...”Read full review »

You’ll get episodes discussing upcoming matches that have already happened by the time the...”Read full review »

“So much potential here, but no consistency. I want to hear about WTA and ATP tennis, but then the host does nothing but challenger/college/his own personal age and tennis playing…come on now! The eating / burping / mouth sounds scream “I’m not professional.” Last week he said Swiatek “won her...”Read full review »
