  • Respecting Pushers, Celebrating Coco & Defending Aryna
    Jun 15 2025

    Britney Spears described her album Britney Jean as "a little more personal", and this episode is a little more personal for Tony. But don't worry: This episode is way better than that album.


    Tony has one of his closest friends (and self-identified pusher), David, on the podcast to talk all sorts of tennis mess. Here's what they get into:


    • Coming out together in college
    • Playing sports as gay kids/adults
    • How David is a successful pusher in tennis and why Tony thinks you *must* respect the pusher game
    • Tony explains why he sees both sides of the Coco vs Aryna Roland Garros drama
    • Plus hear their gayest moments of the week

  • Serena's (Clay-Rena's) 2015 Season: 10 Years Later (Part 2)
    Jun 14 2025

    Can you believe it has been 10 years (!!) since Serena completed her second Serena slam in 2015?! We can’t. And we’re still not over it.


    Join us and fellow Tony, Serena stan and creator of the Tennis Watchers substack (tjc05 on Twitter and Bluesky) as we break down Serena’s 2015 tournament by tournament.


    In this special Clay-Rena Part 2, we talk about Serena's clay court season, including:


    • Serena's Vogue cover story about her friendship with Caroline Wozniacki
    • Her iconic battles (and arguments!) with friend Vika Azarenka
    • Her first loss on tour of the year to Petra Kvitova in Madrid
    • And of course, her wild ride to her third Roland Garros title, which included five 3-set wins


    Don't miss this fun breakdown with tons of random stories from this historic season that saw Serena truly become mother. We even get into her 2013 match with Sloane at the Australian Open. You can hear a short bonus episode about that here.


    Need to catch up on Part 1 about Serena's run to the AO title, her return to Indian Wells and 8th title in Miami? Listen on Spotify or Apple.
