The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast

We love the new Battle of the Sexes! Just kidding, we hate it and its cynical, gross and insultingly crude existence. We talk all things WTA Finals—matchups, blowouts, blowups and more, as well as go in depth about the brilliant critique of the failure of tennis' establishment to offer good digital content. Sorry, but watching players create meme content is an insult to our intelligence. Plus: shoutout to a Mandarin speaking Anna Blinkova. Hen hao!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After an action-packed week, Rennae and Caitlin are back, and the end of the year is staring us down the barrel! We talk Saudi Masters 1000, Mira Andreeva's visa snafu and lessons for everyone to learn. If you're gonna wake up in the morning and play pro tennis, come to WIN. Otherwise, call it a day and head to the Maldives. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well how about those cousins—what the triumphant showing in Shanghai between Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech (and let's not forget their lady cousin Chloe Pacquet) means for Novak Djokovic's final act as well as Meddy and the lost generation. Plus: A stubborn Coco prevails in Wuhan, JPeg's exhausting run to the finals and a Nick Kyrgios in his feelings about getting a podcast snub from Andy Murray. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At this point, who is going to be able to make it through this meat grinder of a season? Do the the tour finals still matter no matter how many friends they lose, or people they leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way? Plus: No matter who REALLY started the conspiracy theories about courts getting slower (looking at you, Roger), you can count on Alex Zverev to whine about it. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The tennis establishment is facing yet another complaint from players, and this one's got the top players signed on and is repped by the big guns—Larry Scott. Let's see if they can make progress on meaningful profit sharing, player organizing and schedule changes. They'd better before the Asia swing completely collapses from retirements! We talk Coco vs. Belinda, Meddy vs. Zverev and the encouraging addition to Lerner Tien's entourage in the form of Michael Chang. Takes a champ to know a champ, after all.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rennae and Caitlin talk about how now, MORE THAN EVER, tennis needs a compelling third act to its season, not a bunch of under-attended team competitions, exos that nobody cares about and a slew of tournaments in great places like Seoul that are rife with withdrawals. Plus: We touch on the Taylor Townsend controversy, a Czech doubles rekindling and some interesting signs for next year.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

No, that wasn't just for a very disruptive US Open men's final guest that nobody wanted who made everyone wait, it was for pretty much everything else, from the scintillating second half of the singles tournament to the nail-biting wheelchair finals that gave Tokito Oda a career golden slam. We break down the resurgent FAA and Naomi Osaka campaigns, the finals that weren't for Sinner and Anisimova, and of course discuss the Carlitos haircut that started it all as well as an undeniable Sabalenka. We're toasting THREE WEEKS of US Open coverage with a hearty Ranch Water. Thanks for joining!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rennae and Caitlin jam on a post-Naomi Osaka/Coco Gauff recap minutes after the one-sided match, weigh in—whether you like it or not—on the Taylor Townsend/Jelena Ostapenko fracas and set up a showdown between our men's faves (and respective countrymen) Felix Auger Aliassime and Alex DeMinaur. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our favorite New Yorkers (who don't sound like it) break down the men's and women's draws and discuss the perils of natural deodorant live from the Seaport Racquet Club.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rennae and Caitlin are reunited—with working mics—to discuss the mayhem on the business end of the Canadian Open tournaments, plus the beginning frenzy of Cincy. Meddy's spiritual crisis, Osaka's low moment, Shelton's upswing and Sinner's dominance. It's all here!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
