So we are back for another podcast with a report from Andreen about her experience in Acapulco, Mexico. Without a doubt we are excited about the fact that our fave Federer won his 100th title but we do not all share the same level of enthusiasm for this.
Topics and Issues discussed in this episode are: -WTA and ATP Resultz: The tournaments that we cared about and got to watch.-Andreen wants us all to go to Mexico for this joint event. -Federer at 100-Nick Kyrgios and what he brings to the sport-Divadal and his Diva antics in the press conferences.-Monfils' magic is BACK-GIFS are not free gifts as per the ATP and Tennis TV- Saschia Vickery and her experience as a struggling player in her Behind the Racquet posting. -Are tennis players willing to be "socialists or capitalists" when dealing with their issues on the tour?-Realz is writing a piece on Martina and her views on transgender athletes.
We are looking for folks and information on the new ITF rule changes on who are pro tennis players and how this plays out on various levels of the tour.
