Love Means Nothing - Tennis Podcast

- Best time of the year in sports- Ostapenko looking good in new ride- Zverev wins Munich- US show they can ball on clay - kind of ..- Madrid Draw - What ant NDP supporter looks like - Need a change

In this milestone 60th episode of Love Means Nothing, we finally talk The White Lotus — late to the party, but fully invested. We also unpack Rory McIlroy's emotional Masters win, a rollercoaster performance that reminded us why we watch sports in the first place.On the tennis front, we dive deep into the Monte Carlo Open: Alcaraz cements himself as the hottest ticket in tennis, while Musetti shows signs of real mental strength. We also ask — are some of these players (and commentators) just a little too soft?From the wild (Fils nearly taking out a fan) to the disappointing (Djokovic and Zverev losing early), we break down whether panic is warranted. Plus: why North Americans still struggle on clay, Coco Gauff's big move with her own management agency, and Rafa expecting baby number two.

This week on Love Means Nothing, we get a little opinionated (okay, a lot). Chris breaks down why Babolat rackets just don't cut it and why Wilson still reigns as the most elegant brand in tennis. We dig into the underappreciated grind of senior tournaments and ask: should tennis move to a one-serve format?Also on the docket:– Serena's spicy comments on men vs. women in tennis– Mensik's future stardom and his poised post-Djokovic win remarks– What we know about his knee injury– And of course, Djokovic's unexpected black eye: where'd that come from?Tune in, debate with us, and let's keep tennis interesting.

In this episode, Chris discusses various tennis news and tournaments. He talks about the evolution of the one-handed backhand and the decline of players using it. He also discusses Carlos Alcaraz's performance in Buenos Aires and his recent struggles. Chris highlights Jannik Sinner's rise in the tennis world and his recent win in Rotterdam. He shares his thoughts on Lululemon's tennis outfits and comments on the fashion choices of players like Milos Raonic. Chris also discusses the Super Bowl, Renee Stubbs' tweets, and the controversy surrounding playing in Qatar. He shares his opinions on political matters. Takeaways The one-handed backhand is becoming less common in men's tennis, with players like Federer being the exception. Jannik Sinner is emerging as a top player, while Carlos Alcaraz is experiencing a slump. Lululemon's tennis outfits have received mixed reviews. There are controversies surrounding playing in Qatar and the treatment of transgender athletes in sports. Venus Williams receiving a wild card entry into Indian Wells raises questions about the fairness of such decisions. 01:00Tsitsipas and the Evolution of the One-Handed Backhand 05:09Carlos Alcaraz's Performance in Buenos Aires 08:06Alcaraz's Recent Struggles and the Rise of Jannik Sinner09:02Results of the Rotterdam Tournament 10:27Fashion Commentary on Lululemon's Tennis Outfits 11:57Discussion on Hubert Hurkacz and His Playing Style 12:27Concerns about Holger Rune's Performance 13:23Results of the Delray Beach Tournament 14:20Women's Tournament in Doha and Controversy Surrounding Playing in Qatar 15:43Thoughts on the Super Bowl and Travis Kelce's Behavior 17:09Renee Stubbs' Tweets and the Concept of Cameo 19:00Discussion on Maria Sakkari and Her Split from Coach 20:25Amelie Mauresmo's Legal Troubles 21:53Martina Navratilova's Tweets on Transgender Athletes and Political Views 23:20Opinions on Joe Biden and Donald Trump 26:36Venus Williams' Wild Card Entry into Indian Wells 28:27Morgan Riddle Experience at the Super Bowl and Harassment

In this conversation, Chris and Pavy G discuss Djokovic's performance at the Australian Open and the reasons behind his struggles. They also delve into the rise of Jannik Sinner and the comparison with Carlos Alcaraz. The conversation touches on the influence of sponsorships and the establishment in promoting certain players. They also discuss Rafael Nadal's participation in the Australian Open and his ambassadorship with Saudi Arabia. The conversation concludes with a discussion on players who are in retirement but have not officially announced it. The conversation explores the topics of Nadal's ambassadorship, Djokovic's potential partnership with Saudi Arabia, the impact on other tournaments and the Labor Cup, the partnership between ATP and WTA, and the commercial value and prize money disparities in tennis. Takeaways Djokovic's hectic schedule and lack of rest may have contributed to his performance at the Australian Open. Jannik Sinner has emerged as a strong contender in the tennis world, surpassing Carlos Alcaraz in terms of consistency and mental strength. Sponsorships and the establishment play a significant role in promoting certain players and shaping their public image. Rafael Nadal's participation in the Australian Open and his ambassadorship with Saudi Arabia have raised questions about his intentions and motivations. Some players may continue to play professionally despite being in retirement due to financial considerations or other factors. Nadal's ambassadorship to Saudi Arabia raises questions about financial motivations and potential risks to his reputation. Djokovic's potential partnership with Saudi Arabia could bring more international attention to the country and help grow the game of tennis. The involvement of Saudi Arabia in tennis could lead to the creation of a new super series and the hosting of major tournaments. The partnership between ATP and WTA is unlikely due to differences in commercial value and financial struggles faced by the WTA. The debate around prize money disparities in tennis highlights the importance of commercial value and viewership in determining earnings.

Pavvy is a great guy, an eloquent speaker, and incredibly insightful. Definitely worth a listen!! X: https://twitter.com/pavyg X: https://twitter.com/chrishasekwatt
