  • Good but stop swearing

    Appreciate the commentary; don’t appreciate the swearing; I don’t like the anti-Laver cup attitude but aside from that, they are great.

  • Great Chemistry

    Have loved this podcast for a few years! No other podcast focuses on the human stories of the sport like this one. It makes it really fun for the general fan.

    The hosts have great chemistry with each other and their different personalities really work to make the show engaging and entertaining. Catherine’s sharp wit, David’s endless optimism and Matt’s analytical insights combine for a great show. They are not afraid to call out the sport and while I may disagree with their opinions at times,... more

Generally there's a self indulgent culture here: a mix of schadenfreude, meanness, even poison at times. Listening back to thei... more

  • The very best tennis podcast

    Going out of my way to rate these guys 5 stars as am blown away anyone rates this below 4. A good balance of opinions and great rapport and banter between hosts. I do agree politics needs to stay out of a sports podcast.

  • Love the show but…

    …the language is slipping a little. I’m no prude, but I reckon the pod will be just as good (and easier to listen to with the kids) with a little less swearing.
