Pod Laver Arena

Finally, the debate that’s been tearing the tennis world apart is settled. What actually dries a wet court faster, 10 ball kids armed with towels or one futuristic drying machine? The answer will shock you. Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) has gone far too deep on Google and uncovered a truly explosive revelation about Andrey Rublev, Lizzy (@lizzyhoo) bravely fronts the nation to address the ongoing tracksuit speculation, and we somehow land an all-star guest in the one and only Sloane Stephens.
Name one other podcast in the top 50 of Sport (we’re 51st, thank you very much) doing this kind of work. Exactly. You can’t. Tune in now or Mike wears the Naomi Osaka outfit again and that’s on you.

The Osaka dress broke the internet. Naturally, we responded the only way that made sense and brought in our very own fashion correspondent, Liza West, to unpack what it means to be Naomi Osaka. Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) may have taken this a little too seriously … we’ll let you decide.
Lizzy (@lizzyhoo) lifts the lid on the shadowy “Special K” opponent strategy ahead of their next match.
As if that wasn’t enough, we’re joined by certified heartthrob Grigor Dimitrov. We talk dogs, including his very good boy Pepperoni, and uncover the most scandalous thing he’s ever discovered lurking in his tennis bag… trust me it’s worse than you think.
Fashion. Tennis. Food poisoning. Pepperoni. Strap in, the pod is coming in hot!

When will Lizzy learn that it's a tennis 'match', not a 'game'? I hate when she does that. Anyway, this episode will blow your ears clean off. We speak to the uber cool Canadian turbo-hunk, Felix Auger Aliassime, Mike drops the stunning revelation that he was once in a marching band, and the 'Lizzy Checks her Raya Account' segment will prove to be one of the saddest moments in podcasting history. Also, we analyse the merits of buying a $410 dollar towel. SPOILER ALERT: there are no goddamn merits. Oh and we storm the pickleball court like a couple of Roger Federers, if Roger Federer played pickleball. Which he doesn't.

It's all fireworks here! Lizzy and Mike come to terms with some scathing feedback from Janice as they dissect the best and brightest and downright funniest stuff from Day 1's play. We interview the recently eliminated Marta Kostyuk (and make her sing, which is weird), and Lizzy drops the bombshell claim she could easily defeat a 63-year-old in a Brazilian ju-jitsu bout. Also, there's an absolute belter edition of Watch Watch. You simply cannot afford to miss this episode. And for search engine optimisation reasons, here are the words Jannick Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Australian Open. Cop that!
