About this episode
The episode discusses the intersection of sports and politics, focusing on ATP players stuck in Dubai and recent tennis tournament results.
Sports and politics … it turns out they DO mix! A few dozen ATP players and staff are stuck in Dubai as a result of Trump’s attack on Iran, as the Mexican tournaments go forward without a hitch after last week’s unrest. On court, Medvedev wins a second Dubai title, Longhorn Stearns grabs Austin by the horns, Bucsa becomes the Spanish #1, and Darderi and Cobolli win Latin tournaments on two continents. For fun, James takes a tennis geography quiz and we do an extended diatribe (requiem?) on The Traitors. 1:40 ATP players and personnel stuck in Dubai 6:45 This is not a drill!! 9:00 The Ellison data-media-government-tennis empire 15:35 Craig Tiley is coming to America 19:50 Results: Dubai, Acapulco, Merida, Austin 31:10 They didn’t tell Stefanos you’re not supposed to talk about appearance fees 34:35 James takes a tennis geography quiz! 44:55 A Traitors diatribe
