ATP Sippy Cup

Thank you to everybody for listening to our Monica Seles episode! We’re back to officially launch Season SIX of The Body Serve. If you’ve donated to our GoFundMe, please listen to the segment at the top of the show to find out what we’ve done, what we’re planning to do, and the prizes that we’ll be distributing at the end of the campaign. We start the tennis proceedings with a recap of a dizzyingly strange and moody ATP Cup before segueing into Serena Williams’ reassuring week in Auckland. Other topics on the docket: a note on climate change as it relates to tennis, the failures (thus far) of the Australian Open in dealing with the poor air quality in Melbourne, the need for unions in tennis, and a few predictions/wishes for the 2020 season.    01:45 An update on our GoFundMe  09:35 ATP Sippy Cup: an exercise in largesse and insolence 20:18 You get all these men together and they act a fool and a mess 31:44 Pliskova repeats in Brisbane 35:51 Serena has herself a tournament in Auckland, wins title #73 41:24 What this win could mean for Serena in 2020 48:05 A note from us on climate change in tennis and our coverage 51:25 Australian Open puts players’ health at risk & the need for unions  63:02 Jarry and Farrah catch a pair of cases  68:25 Breakout/comeback candidates and our tennis wishlists for 2020
