Erik and Aidan jump on a Bonus Episode to break down their immediate reactions to the massive upset that just occurred in the French Open. Jannik Sinner, the top seed and overwhelming favorite, has been eliminated. This turns the draw on its head and will give all the players in the draw an unbelievable opportunity to win their first Slam title. Looking at the remaining players, only Djokovic has won a Slam, meaning a first time winner may be on the table this year!
This week Erik and Aidan jump on the pod this week to discuss the opening round of the French Open.

This week Erik and Aidan hop on the pod to discuss the first week of the Italian Open which took place in Rome this past week.

This week Erik and Aidan recap the second half of the Madrid Masters tournament, which ended up being a coronation for Sinner. The Italian Player has completely separated himself in the first half of this year, and with his fifth Masters win in a row, he feels unstoppable.

This week Erik and Aidan recap the first half of this year's Madrid Masters tournament. Without top players like Djokovic and Alcaraz, as well as a bunch of other top guys, there was some concern that the tournament would not have quality tennis. Instead, the Next Gen Players have risen to the occasion, making statement wins and deep runs in this tournament. This makes it seem as though perhaps players like Jodar and Blockx will be the ones to challenge the Sinner Alcaraz domination in the future. It is a fun one, but the tournament wraps up next week so be sure to check back for another episode!ContentsIntro 0:00Better Without Alcaraz? 0:40Early Upsets 3:20Next Gen in Madrid 7:05Quarterfinal Preview 12:54Stan Update 16:23What’s New 17:27Bet of the Week 20:37Match of the Week 21:25
