February: Schedule Woes, Alcaraz, Pegula, Serena, and More
About this episode
In an episode that is also available on video form on our Patreon, Ben and Tumaini are back together for the first time since their late nights in Melbourne, catching up on a busy week of February tennis.
The WTA calendar seemed to reach an abrupt breaking point, Carlos Alcaraz kept winning, Jessica Pegula showed just how underrated she is, and Arthur Fils and Jack Draper made comebacks.
We also discuss another comeback about which not much is yet known...that of Serena Williams.
Plus a look at the future of the South American swing and what's causing its struggles, as well as the looming shadow of the soon-arriving Saudi ATP 1000 event.
