Shit hits the fan in the tennis world after Jason and Aldwin come back from staging their own UTS Showdown on Sunday. Celebrated tennis star Grigor Dmitrov tests positive for COVID-19 (as does Borna Coric, Viktor Troicki and Nole himself as the public later finds out) and the boys dive head first into discussing the virus transmission fest that was the Adria Tour and all the "boneheads" (Nick Kyrgios' preferred term) that took part. Was that you Goran Ivanisevic that slid into our IG DM's offering that half-apology? Should Thiem have pulled out of his UTS match against Tsitsipas after only just flying in from the Balkan nation? This episode might be as juicy as Domi's derriere!

Your Ultimate Tennis Showdown Lowdown

The Greek God? The Hammer? The Wall? Is it WWE or professional tennis?
Aldwin and Jason give the lowdown of the showdown and return of tennis (somewhat) with Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS), organized by and hosted at Patrick Mouratoglou's tennis academy in Nice, France (must be Nice!).
The new fast-paced format brands each player participating in this round robin tournament format. The guys assess the 'moniker' assigned to each player, come up with some new ones, and share monikers for one another. Which UTS player is renamed 'Nadal's Shadow'? Let the shade commence.

"Correction, RPTP goes weekly!" Aldwin and Jason smash into weekly programming with a look at the highly anticipated Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS) and a potential Cincinnati-US Open double-header. Are fans ready for this season's tennis switch-ups? The guys also call out a few IG bots (Tom Hill, we see you boo), share support for the Black Lives Matter, and take a drive down memory lane to the Motor City Tennis Classic. Who's path to the B final was peppered with lopsided scorelines? Who got blown (in a bad way) off the court in his A semi? Plus memories of a GLTA player who recently passed away too soon.

With their balls marked, Aldwin and Jason hit the post-quarantine court together for the first time in nearly three months. How did Jason injure himself shortly after their hit? The guys also reflect on their French Open memories, including their experience seeing the famous 'terre battu', offer some advice to Milos and Genie (who are surely listening), and Aldwin challenges Jason in a game of Qui Veut Être en Champion de Roland Garros.
