We love it when we get the opportunity to interview someone who is on our dream list of interviewees. This was definitely one of those interviews for us.

He is known for his coaching and development of such American players as Jim Courier, Mardy Fish, John Isner, Sam Querrey, Stevie Johnson, Jack Sock and Donald Young, Jr. He may be even better known for the massive beard he sports that makes him so identifiable in courtside player boxes. Take a listen to this entertaining interview about CB's origins, thoughts on player development and his story about the beard! This is easily one of our favorite interviews across the last 4 years.

Listen to the Bruthas talk about it all in this comprehensive review of the first major tournament of the year.
We are at the halfway mark of the year's first grand slam tournament. Once again, with no Williams sisters nor 2 of the Big 3, the tournament has started off with a bang. Full of upsets and instant classic matches, the Bruthas review the first week from the Australian Open and "adjust" their predictions for the second week. 2022's gonna be a great year for tennis if this first week is any indication!
Finally, we are able to get the first grand slam tournament of the year going. Having been delayed by a totally unnecessary event, the draws are now finalized and the Bruthas tear through them! Hear their favorite first round match ups as well as their predictions through championship weekend. You might be surprised at what the guys are thinking.... Enjoy!

Father Darryl, along with son Jackson and daughter MacKenzie published an original coloring and activity book during the pandemic. 25 Most Influential Black Tennis Figures, Past and Present is a fun and historical book aimed at educating a younger audience about the history of Black tennis players. Listen to the Bruthas chat with the Baker family about their goals and experience gained while becoming published authors. The book can be purchased online through Amazon. Enjoy...

As part of our initial mission, we set out to bring you stories of people in the game of tennis that may not always get mainstream media attention. This episode does exactly that! Meet Noel Gressner, ATP tour trainer. Players will tell you that Noel and his peers are as critical to tournaments as the referees. We were honored to have Noel share his story of how he began treating some of the greatest athletes in the world, especially one track and field legend in particular. I'm sure you will find his story as inspirational as we did - Enjoy.....
We know you've been waiting for it fam, and right here, right now, we're going to give it to ya!

Welcome to December everyone and we have a gem of an episode for you here! Sometimes we have interviews and sometimes we just have recorded conversations - this episode with the one and only DJ Mad Linx is definitely the latter. You know him from BET's Rap City and 106 & Park, Fuse TV, The Tennis Channel and ESPN just to name a few. Listen to the most tennis knowledgeable DJ on the planet, we'll wait while you try to think of another...LOL - Enjoy!
We have a real treat for y'all on this episode. Meet Linda Paulding, lawyer and certified tennis and pickleball coach. If you are a tennis player, by now you have either heard about or played pickleball. Linda discusses with us how this growing sport has some folks trading in their tennis rackets for paddles. At the end of the interview Linda introduces the Bruthas to pickleball and boy, it was a sight to see - lol. Enjoy....
At long last we are approaching the end of the 2021 tennis season. We've seen lots of great matches and enough calendar rescheduling to make your head spin. Last week the Next Gen, WTA and ATP all crowned their 2021 season champions. The Bruthas break it all down while starting to focus their "good eye" on the 2022 season. Enjoy all...
Walking the grounds of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden for the 2021 Edition of World Team Tennis, who do we run into other than ex-ATP Pro and current Tennis Channel broadcaster, Nicolas (Nico) Pereira. What do we do when in the midst of one of our favorites from the Tennis Channel? We get him on the mic! Listen as we have a chat with Nico on his tennis career and his transition to the booth. He's a real one y'all!
The Billie Jean King Cup came and the Russians took it! Props to the Russian coach that sat Pavlyuchenkova and played Samsonova who then sat Belinda Bencic. Djokovic got revenge on Medvedev in Paris although Hugo Gaston probably was the man of the week. Join the Bruthas as they dive into all the results and some of the mess!
Breakout performances from Alacarez & Tiafoe, a 5th title for Zverev and a win to get into the WTA Year-end Championships for Kontaveit - last week was epic. This week the Bruthas dive into the final Masters Series for the men in Paris, while the women team up and battle for the Billie Jean King Cup. Things are heating up down the final stretch of 2021.
Hands down he's either the Most Improved or Breakout Player of 2021 on the ATP, King Aslan Karatsev - yes, "our guy." Karatsev snagged his second title of the year in his hometown and we couldn't be more proud of him! Listen and see if you can keep up in a loose form version of a BOT episode, the Bruthas are definitely on one here - lol! Sometimes you just gotta let it out!
The next generation of players on both the ATP and WTA tours are proving that the future of tennis is certainly bright. Not sure how many people had Azarenka/Badosa, Basilashvili/Norrie in their finals brackets but they surely delivered us some tennis deserving of the desert paradise they were in. Listen to the Bruthas breakdown this very unique fall edition of the BNP Paribas Open!
Rescheduled - Not Cancelled! The 2021 edition of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California is finally here. Listen to the Bruthas break down the men's and women's singles draws and give their champion predictions. Welcome to Tennis Paradise!
Y'all.....when we tell ya that Team Europe took Team World to the woodshed and lost they mind!!!! It was a beatdown for the ages. Now being completely honest, the individual matches were actually very good, but the final outcome was never in question. Zverev declared the breadstick victory early and all Team World could do was eat it. Listen to the Bruthas breakdown each match from this weekend's Laver Cup and hear their suggestion on how beatdowns of this magnitude can be prevented in the future. LOL - Enjoy.....
In probably what has become the most entertaining tennis weekend of the year. we ready ourselves for the 4th installment of Roger Federer's Laver Cup. Although Roger won't be there in person this year, it appears his Team Europe is well stacked to handle the loaded artillery of Team World. Listen to the Bruthas' thoughts on what may go down this weekend!
From the tournament that "no one was gonna be at" to some calling it the best 2 weeks at the US Open ever. The first round matchups, the ones that went the distance, all the comebacks and a lineup of dream finals. Hear the Bruthas' take on all of it in this wrap-up of the 2021 US Open.
One week down and one week to go! Anyone who thought the 2021 US Open was not gonna be poppin' because Roger, Rafa, Serena & Venus aren't there have been the very definition of WRONG. Listen to the Bruthas review the results of the first week of this last major of the tennis calendar year. They also make some slight adjustments to their original predictions (pretty much on the ladies side - lol). Have a seat and take a listen.....Enjoy!
No Roger? No Rafa? No Thiem? No Williams Sisters? NO PROBLEM!! It's the US Open and it's always gonna be poppin’ in the Big Apple. In this episode the Bruthas review both the Men's and Women's singles draws as well as make their predictions for the eventual champions. Get your air pods and get informed, the tourney's about to start.....
The last big lead up tournament to the US Open is the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati, Ohio. Last year due to Covid restrictions the tournament was played at the National Tennis Center in New York. As the tournament returned to Cincinnati this year, listen to the Bruthas talk about some of the surprising and some of the very predictable results that occurred.
What's Good Fam? We are well within the swing of the US Open Summer Series of tournaments. Last week at the Canadian Open we saw a long overdue win in Montreal by Camila Giorgi and continued hard court dominance in Toronto by Daniil Medvedev. Lock in with us to hear us review the jam packed draws in Cincinnati this week. A tournament with mouth watering matchups starting in the first round!
What's Good Peeps? We are now past the Olympics and officially on the summer hardcourt swing of the ATP and WTA tours. The top women were in San Jose at the Mubadala Open while the top men were in Washington D.C. at the Citi Open. Hear the Bruthas review all the results plus break down these 1000 level tournaments coming up in Canada. O Canada.......
So some of you may be wondering what happened to the podcast episode we recorded last week.....well, we are too - LOL!!! Anyway, despite the little mishap, we still have the IG Live After Show to share with you so that you can still get some of our thoughts on the tennis at the 2021 Olympics. Someone say "Back Up Plan?" Enjoy....
We were beyond honored to have Penny Lerner, CEO of AYS Sports Marketing, return to Bruthas On Tennis to reveal the plans for this summer's Citi Taste of Tennis Food Truck Tour. This is a short episode to bring you up to speed on all the ways you can participate both in person or remotely. Penny has enlisted an amazing culinary team that will be providing free meals through several stops in Washington DC and primarily the New York area. Bruthas On Tennis will be your personal guide in tracking the location of the food truck, the signature dishes of the day (as well as the chefs who create them) and of course we're gonna give you a soundtrack to enhance the experience. Also, take a listen to this episode to hear about the exciting culminating event that is planned at Tavern On The Green in Central Park!
Hey fam - here we are again, another Olympics season is upon us (even if we did have to press pause for a year). Maybe it's us but doesn't it seem like when it comes to tennis at the Olympics things always go sideways? LOL! Anyway, the Bruthas are here to talk about the initial rounds of the singles and doubles draws. They also give their predictions on who they think will walk away with hardware around their necks. Take a few minutes to sit back and enjoy the banter.....
**Disclaimers: 1. The night we recorded this episode all of our predictions basically crashed and burned! LOL!!!!!! 2. Mektic and Pavic have won so much this year we gave them credit for an extra title (the Australian Open) - sorry Dodig and Polasek!!!
2021 marked the return of the Wimbledon Championships after the coronavirus caused the cancellation of the 2020 tournament. This year we had breakthrough performances as well as a few major heartbreaks. At the end of the day it was a historic finish and the Bruthas are here to break it all down for you in the only way they know how. Pull up a seat and enjoy the ride.....
We may have missed the Wimbledon Championships in 2020 but they are coming back full steam in 2021.

Time to trim dem lawns fam! It's grass season, and the Bruthas have polished off their preppiest gear (along with a few hoodies to keep it real), and are ready to hit the manicured grounds!
On this episode, they cover 4 men's/women's tournaments that happened over the past week, chat about The Joker possibly breaking the spirits of both Roger and Rafa (really though...REALLY?), and introduce their Wimbledon playlist, that can now be accessed via Spotify. Check it out, and get your boogie on as we lead up to the queen-mother of all Grand Slams!

Boy oh boy fam! We had some surprises in this one didn't we? The wild 2021 French Open started with a bombshell, and ended with an even bigger bombshell that could mark the changing of the guard on one side of the game.

Here we are again fam, at another grand slam tournament with the potential of it being history making. Will Nadal grab his 14th title at Roland Garros and tie Pete Sampras' grand slam total at that major alone? Will Serena Williams finally get her 24th major title , tying Margaret Court's inferior 24 titles during the non-open era? Will Novak or Roger be the first of the Big 3 to win 2 of each major? Will Coco Gauff be the second youngest woman to win the French Open (behind Monica Seles)? All of these scenarios are possible at this year's French Open. Listen to the Bruthas as they walk you through both the men's and women's draws and give their very unique predictions on who might still be standing at the end of this red dirt fortnight.
Fam! The Nadal...excuse me, the French Open is just a few days away, and the Bruthas are excited!

We got a guuuud one for you today fam! As tennis fans, of course we’re enamored with the titans of the sport; the Serenas, the Rogers, the Nadals...etc. However, we also love to follow the up-and-comers, those who aren't necessarily considered “next gen,” but who are coming up through the rankings, and carving out their own spot on the tour.
On this episode, the Bruthas sit down with rising star Rasheeda McAdoo, a former Georgia Tech standout and daughter of basketball Hall of Famer, Bob McAdoo (who is apparently a huge tennis fan!

G’day fam! Aren’t yall loving all of this good tennis going on out here? After being deprived of life and sports beginning just about a year ago, it’s so wonderful to be able to watch some good ‘ol uninterrupted tennis that mimics somewhat what we were used to pre-pandemic.

As I digress, please note that digression will be the theme of the next two episodes as the Bruthas try to cover the latest and greatest in the world of tennis, including the 2021 Miami Open draws, but ultimately dive into other interesting topics as spawned by their subscribers on IG Live. They manage to get into the hot 250’s that went down last week, but couldn’t get to the upcoming tourney in Miami.

In appropriate fashion, we are celebrating our milestone by celebrating a legend, pioneer, and queen in our sport, Ms. Althea Gibson. The film "Althea" (currently available on Amazon Prime) is a wonderful look at Ms. Gibson's life, and reveals personal triumphs and tragedies that have been rarely revealed to the general public. It's a beautiful, moving film that honestly had the Bruthas in tears by the end. It's a must-watch for any tennis fan.
On this episode, the Bruthas speak with three men who were involved with the film: Mr. Art Carrington, African-American tennis historian and legend, Mr. George Henry, Director of Tennis Operations at Bethune Cookman College, and Mr. Glenn Gilliam, Director of Strategic Partnerships for "Althea." So sit back, relax, and be enlightened on this regal figure in our sport; the incomparable, the revered, Ms. Althea Gibson. (Also, be sure to check out the film!)

They also chat with the comrades on Locker Room about the tune up tourneys as well, and their fresh takes on the haps at the Australian Open. Come on in, and kick it with ya boyz for a while...

Here we are fam! We are about to embark on another Australian Open, and we couldn't be more excited! No one truly knew what was ahead of us after last year's AO, so to say that we're here on the precipice of kicking off another one that's kiiiiind of on schedule, and the majority of the players are going to be "in it to win it," is a small miracle to say the least.
As tradition would have it, the Bruthas have gotten together once again to walk through all of the draws, and give you their picks for the Slam. As evidenced by their fire and spirit, they're going to be super keyed-up for this upcoming fortnight, and we're sure you will be too after giving this chat a listen. Enjoy!

Okay fam, so...we all were missing tennis right? The off-season was long, most of the players hibernated for the early part of winter, and all the courts were recently quiet....
BUT NOW...
There has been an explosion of matches and tournaments that have taken place in this past week, and the Bruthas can barely stay on top of all the haps! There's SO much tennis to talk about as the players tune up for the Australian Open, so the Bruthas chop it up amongst themselves, and even bring in the usual suspects from the Locker Room crew to join in on the fun. Listen in and enjoy!

This week, the Bruthas chat with Penny Lerner, a fantastic young woman who engineered an idea to mix tennis with culinary genius, and has watched it grow into the Citi Taste of Tennis, one of the most popular and swankiest events on the tour. Star athletes such as the Williams sisters and Sloan Stephens have mixed it up with world-class chefs such as JJ Johnson and Aaron Sánchez to make a specifically-unique blend of sports, food, and entertainment.

Whas good family? The weather's changing, and the end of the season is upon us, so we thought we'd bring you something delightfully entertaining and hilarious to cozy up with as we begin to THANKFULLY say goodby to all things 2020.
This week, the Bruthas chat with Paul Oakley Stovall, one of their most eclectically-unique guests to date, about his insane tennis fandom/knowledge, his artistic accomplishments as an actor/writer/director (Hamilton anyone?), his time in politics (President Obama anyone?), and how all of these experiences have influenced each other over his multi-layered career. The Bruthas unanimously agree, this by far is the funniest episode they've put on wax as Paul is a straight up riot! Take a listen, and be blessed!

She also spontaneously takes questions from the live audience, and gives her hot takes on several players and issues in the game.
This was a spirited talkback, filled with all kinds of spunk and organic spontaneity. We're sure you good folks are going to love it, and become even bigger fans of Nicole than you were before. Enjoy!

November is upon us family! The cool air has settled in place, the foliage is starting to light up the horizons, and folks are already fattening up their turkeys for the upcoming holiday. But, before all of that goes down, mo' and mo' tennis is on the menu! Tune in to check out the latest and greatest that went down in the sport this past week, and ponder the Brutha's unbelievable suggestion that Rafa could actually steal the number one spot from Djokovic, in a year where Djokovic has all but dominated the majority of the events he's played. Could it happen? Rafa (and no doubt Roger) certainly hopes so!

This is a unique one fam! If you've been following along, you should've heard the Bruthas referencing a new startup app called Locker Room. The audio-only social platform allows sports enthusiasts to hang out and discuss all things pertaining to their favorite athletic pastimes. Users can revel in their fandom in rooms tailored to specific sports or athletic events, and chat it up gregariously almost like they were hanging out at a bar or local barbershop.
Each Monday, the Bruthas host their own room focused on tennis on the app, and this episode is the audio capture of their most recent session. Listen in as they unabashedly mix it up with the visitors in the room on the French Open results and other topics in the the tennis world. Also, look for the Locker Room app on Twitter (@lockerroomapp), and sign up! It's free, and as you'll see after listening to this episode, that it's totally worth it!

Whas good family! The Bruthas want to take a second just to THANK YOU for kickin' it with us for as long as you have. We love having y'all along for the ride!
We've got a special treat for you this week! Along life's journey, you meet people who are true inspirations for others. It's almost as if the ups/downs, the wins/losses in their lives are meant to be a living message for us that the fight is not over, and the victory comes to those who work hard, and endure.
The Bruthas were blessed to sit with someone who carries this message on his sleeve, whether he intends to or not. His story of perseverance as an African-American tennis coach striving to breakthrough overseas, and his intense determination on his road to recovery from a massive stroke is enough to cancel all of our trivial, sometimes selfish, day-to-day complaints.
Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce to you, Mr. Juandell Brunner. Enjoy his chat with the Bruthas, and be inspired!

We're finally closing in on some real tennis in the next few weeks, and the Bruthas are excited!

Will Kim ultimately be the one who stands between Queen Serena and #24? Say it ain't so Bruthas!
They also take inventory of the different changes the game has experienced during these COVID-19 exhibitions, and run down a short list of enhancements they'd like to permanently implement that will add a bit more excitement and flare to the tours.

They smack Djokovic around for his irresponsible actions while hosting the Adria Tour, they stomp for Richard Williams all the while cuttin' up on Venus' new tv show....they're all over the map on this one, and NO ONE is safe. Be sure to tune in for the fireworks!
**Also, we're giving away another Bruthas on Tennis official hat. Be sure to peep our IG for the details. You're going to want to get in on this!

What's good family! Last month we conducted a poll via social media on who should be the Bruthas' next special guest. Out of all the responses we received, one person easily received the majority of votes from the 5 options presented, and that person was Ms. Katrina Adams.
On this week's episode, the Bruthas answer the people's call, and have an enlightening discussion with the 2-time Northwestern University All-American, former 2-time USTA CEO & President, and current ITF Fed Cup Chairperson. She is a literal BOSS in the game and continues to use her influence to champion inclusion and gender equality throughout the sport. Tune in to hear one of our most respected leaders talk about her journey from player to revered executive, as well as gain top-down insights on the state of our game, and where it's going.
Thank you for the suggestion fam, and stay tuned for our next poll! Bruthas on Tennis is ALWAYS for the people!

Good day family. A LOT going on out there nowadays. As three Bruthas trying to provide some sort of entertainment through the sport we love, we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the protests and movement that has impacted the world. We at Bruthas on Tennis denounce all acts of police brutality, injustice, and racism that has transpired not only in our home country (USA), but all over the globe. We stand in solidarity with those in the fight to eradicate racism as well as unjust laws/policing, and hope to build a future built on equality, where diversity is championed, and celebrated. A short list of resources and info shared from impacted tennis players are listed below the show notes.
And now, on to the show...
For some much needed relief, the Bruthas decided to give a lil' shine to two players that may have flown under the radar for the typical tennis fan, but who were most definitely over-achievers in the sport, Ms. Lori McNeil, and Mr. MaliVai Washington. Listen in as the Bruthas educate and legitimately elevate these two players into the tennis stratosphere.

Greetings Family! The Bruthas are coming at you again with another episode of their OFF THE DOME series, a free-flowing stream-of-consciousness on all things tennis. Needless to say, this is another fun one! (*insert DJ Khaled's "ANOTHER ONE" here)
This time, the Bruthas talk about their most annoying pet peeves while on court and playing the game. From taking teammate "coaching" from someone who isn't better than you, to inconsiderate court etiquette, the Bruthas go in on a few violations that grind their gears and get VERY specific with their own personal experiences. Someone caught a ball in the eye at net while playing against the Bruthas? Man...I guess we better stay on the baseline when playing these dudes. The net could be hazardous!
Don't forget folks, the Bruthas will be going live on IG June 3rd at 6pm PST/7pm EST. Tune in, and tell them all about your most annoying pet peeves in the game as well. I'm sure they'll probably have the same passionate disdain for these things as you do, and will lead to a very spirited chat. Look forward to seeing y'all soon!

Fam! We are coming out of this thing slowly, yet surely! Things are starting to open up, and it looks like we WILL be getting back to some full-out tournament tennis soon! You made it this far (congratulations!)...hang in there just a little while longer! We 'gon make it!
Even though tennis isn't quite all the way back yet, the Bruthas will continue to deliver that guuud content, and this one is a guuud one y'all! In this episode, the Bruthas expound on one of their most-liked "hot topics" and discuss their polarizing opinions on some of the popular commentators in the game. This time, they focus their commentary on the Tennis Channel, and the familiar faces we see covering the action. As you'll hear, they clearly dig some of 'um, annnnnnd they clearly don't dig some of 'um. Either way, they provide an especially entertaining take on the professionals that analyze and break down the game we love, and it sounds like they had a great time breaking down the ones that break it down! Check it out...

This week the Bruthas, inspired by a suggestion from one of their most beloved fans, do a head-to-head undressing of two of the most dynamic brothers on the tour, Jo-Willy Tsonga and Gaël Monfils. They break down both of their games, discuss their careers all the way back to when they were Juniors to present day, and talk about how they've faired statistically on the professional tour as a whole.

On this episode, the Bruthas chop it up with THE homegirl, THE sistah-girl, THE incomparable Chanda Rubin from the Tennis Channel. Not only does Chanda get real with the Bruthas on what it's like working as a tennis analyst, but she also breaks down what life was like as a top player in the sport (former #6 in the world, seven WTA singles titles, and 1996 Australian Open Doubles Champion).
The Bruthas have mentioned several times on-air that Ms. Rubin is their favorite analyst/commentator in the game, and after listening to this enlightening/inspiring episode, they'll bet you'll feel the same way.
Be sure to catch Chanda on the Tennis Channel and also on “Game, Set, Chat,” a wonderful weekly livestream on Facebook with her sistah-from-another-mistah, Ms. Zina Garrison.

Good day fam. Certainly hope everyone's staying strong out there! The longer this global quarantine thing rages on, the more this whole thing feels like an episode of the Twilight Zone. So, in that context...
Submitted for your approval...
One sleepy Saturday morning during this bunkered-down "stay-at-home" mandate, Bryce wandered to the mic (without Isaac) and expressed some of his most personal memories connected to the game of tennis. This episode is a collection of what he recorded.
In it, we unlock the curious/knowledgeable brain of Bryce and hear him like we've never heard him before. So come along on this journey into Bryce's mind. We can almost guarantee it'll be a ride you won't forget!

Good day family! Hope everyone is doing well and staying strong out there!

He also kicks some knowledge on the differences between tennis in London vs tennis in the States, and much, much more.

In this volume of THE QUARANTINE TAPES, The Bruthas decide to run down another one of of their "Top 5" lists for you all to discuss/ponder. This time, they're talkin' their favorite all-time rivalries in the sport. As they mention during the podcast, the rivalries are really what gives the sport its juice, and adds to the overall enjoyment of the game. That being the case, we're sure the rivalries listed in this episode not only were/are enjoyed by the fans, but pushed the game of tennis to another level. Check it out to see if you agree.

Another Australian Open is in the books, and The Bruthas close it out in spectacular fashion! They critique how their predictions measured up to the (in some cases) shocking results, and they also chat about the many different drama-filled subplots that developed from the tournament that could last the entire year.
The Bruthas also stopped by the 2020 Oracle Challenger Series to take in some live tennis. Steve Johnson, Taylor Townsend and a few more players lit up the courts in Newport Beach California, and the bruhs spill the tea on all that went down out there! (Coco Vandeweghe shade? Say it ain't so!)

This week, the Bruthas jump into the draws...the Australian Open draws! They break down the infamous "quarter-of-death" which sets Coco Gauff up against Venus Williams in the first round AGAIN (shame on you AO!), and the rest of the playing field on both sides of the tournament.
There's also another unique element of the tournament that the players will have to deal with this year, the deteriorating air quality brought on by the continuing bush fires happening all over Australia. The Bruthas discuss this, and what the Australian Open officials are doing to prepare for worst, and keep all of the players/participants as safe and healthy as possible.
One way or another, there will be DRAMA in this first Grand Slam of the year/decade, and the Bruthas will be there to cover it! It all starts here!

We have a special treat for you guys and gals! In the spirit of family and the holidays, we wanted to give you one more insightful look at the game from none other than Bryce's fiercely outspoken mother, Ms. Nancy.
Ms. Nancy has been an avid tennis fan for over 30 years, so much so that she schedules her personal calendar around the sport, and shuts down any outside contact with the world when certain matches are being played. In the episode, she gives her unflinching account of the game and the players within it, which includes cementing a definitive position on the polarizing G.O.A.T. debate in men's tennis, her humorous take on Naomi Osaka's "unhappiness," and a critical view of Patrick Mouratoglou that CANNOT be missed. Be sure to tune in, cuz Mama Nancy brought that fire!

It's a wrap family! The Bruthas close out 2019 by covering the final tournaments of the year, the Next Gen Finals, the Fed Cup Finals, and pay their respects to a few players that recently announced their retirements (some expected, some shocking). Also, with the Olympics coming up, they debate whether or not Serena can capture a "Golden Slam" in 2020.
As we close out our first season on the digital airwaves, we'd like to thank each and every one of you for your listenership! We plan to keep giving you the real on this game we love, so look forward to even more commentary, more access, and more fun in 2020!

This week's episode has the Bruthas taking on last week's men's finals in the Paris Masters, the final regular season tournament of the year. They also jump in on the CRAZY finals of the women's year-end tourney, the upcoming Next-Gen ATP Finals, and the now finalized 8 players that made it to the year-end championship on the male side.

In this episode, the Bruthas cover the tourneys that are leading up to that final chase for the end-of-year crown, including the Swiss Indoors, and the CRITICAL Paris Masters. Also, with Roger Federer recently winning his 103rd career title, they chime in on whether or not they believe he will break the all-time record for most singles titles in a career (109, Jimmy Connors), and the players who could possibly stop him from achieving such a feat.
