Sexism at the French Open, the Spurs and Knicks to Know, Chloe Kim is Officially a WAG

About this episode

The episode discusses sexism at the French Open, highlights tennis news including Serena Williams' return, and shares various sports-related anecdotes.

The French Open is no stranger to accusations of sexism (see: rare night sessions for women). But Adolfo Daniel Vallejo decided to make it his legacy when he blamed a female umpire for his loss at Roland Garros. Luckily, the tournament organizers hit him where it hurts – his wallet. Elsewhere in the tennis world, Serena Williams will make her return to pro-tennis next week, and Caroline shares why she saw this coming. PS: We’d love to hear from you.
