Season Five Premiere: Still Here

Welcome to our Season FIVE opener. Our brief offseason is over and week one of the 2019 season caught us off guard with SO MUCH action right off the bat. We recap the seven titlists who emerged from the first week of play before tackling some of the offseason happenings while we were away. We have a message for the fandoms, a few things we're keeping our eyes on for the season, as well as a few predictions. The episode wraps with a dip into our listener mailbag as we attempt to tackle your questions with a bit of (hopefully) levity.   02:59 Week one results: 7 champions crowned 22:45: #SaveHopmanCup and its unique place in the tennis landscape 29:40: Injury updates & Sveta's Insta prowess 32:37 AO super tiebreak rule change 36:50 To the left, to the left: Venus cleans house 39:23 This is who they are: ATP elects Stakhovsky AGAIN 41:08 Calling all fandoms: let Naomi be, sit there & eat your food 47:45 A few things we'll be keeping our eyes on in 2019 53:23 Our 2019 year-end top 10 picks & breakout/comeback candidates 60:46 Listener mailbag: thanks for all your submissions!
