Early exits for greats Serena and Roger at their respective 250 events in Parma and Geneva leave question marks on their prospects for the French Open.
In the week's biggest and perhaps saddest news for all thirsty gay tennis fans... Casper Ruud's gotta girlfriend! She was on hand as Casper raised his second title in Geneva following his take down of Denis Shapovalov, now out of FO with a shoulder injury.
Tsitsipas earns his 7th title in Lyon as Aldwin reveals he's moved on to a new tennis star. The guys sing the praises of the UK's Cam Norrie, who makes his second ATP tournament final.
Spain's Badosa and Cuckoo for Coco Gauff take titles in Belgrade and Parma, with the later also taking the doubles crown. Gauff moves to a career high #25 in the world.

Wednesday May 19, 2021
After catching up in person for the first time in months (and seeing those empty tennis courts), the guys reviewed the results in Rome.
They offer up the freshest of therapy ideas to their faves Daniil and Naomi: relax and reflect on those clay court woes with a delicious Margherita... yummy sauce, mozzarella and fresh basil always does the trick!
Aldwin and Jason discuss the winning ways of Iga and Rafa, including the two delicious bagels served up to three-time finalist Pliskova, and the post victory photo with the singles winners that was all 'calf'.
Honourable mentions to talented local favourite Lorenzo Sonego and American Reilly Opelka on their first Masters semi-final. Questions marks linger as Barty and Halep retire in their matches with injury. Will the in-form Barty and clay court fave Halep be ready in time for the French Open?
Aldwin offers his second apology in as many episodes... this week it's Shapo and his 'Midnight Life'.

Wednesday May 12, 2021
Wednesday May 12, 2021
Why not celebrate one year of the Ready Play Tennis Podcast with the funniest episode of the season!
After reminiscing on the first year of the pod, the guys discuss their differences in how they consume tennis. With one more 'the purist' and the other willing to learn results and watch the highlights, who knew it would be Raonic who comes out the big loser.
Reflecting on the results of a great event in Madrid, Aldwin issues a 'formal apology' to Aryna Sabalenka for saying she's a one-dimensional player. While recognizing the triumph of now two-time Madrid 'campeón' Sascha Zverev, Dominic Thiem makes a rare podcast appearance and shares a shocking revelation... hilarity ensues.
The guys tease the upcoming Rome event, highlighting some recent lack-lustre results of Felix and Shapo. After Aldwin suggests Denis might be focused on his next rap track... well, someone grabs that mic. Sony Records... the guys await your call!

All Eyes on Madrid
Wednesday May 05, 2021
Wednesday May 05, 2021
The clay court season is in full swing and a return to normalcy seems to be taking hold as fans engage in great tennis at the returning Madrid Open.
As the woman take centre stage, and the guys reflect on Madrid's mini-grand slam vibe. While Barty, Brady, Halep and Kvitova are in form, Osaka still can't find her footing on the clay.
On the men's side, will the returning Medvedev finally leave his mark at a clay court event? What about the flailing Dominic Thiem? Or will all eyes be on a Tsitsipas and Nadal rematch after their epic in Barcelona?
Results from ATP 250 events in Munich and Portugal, and the guys discuss when they might get back on a tennis court again as Ontario remains in its 'stay-at-home' order.
