We'll Call it Ugly: Madrid Updates, Alcaraz's Withdrawals, NCAA & Rafa Doc

About this episode

The episode discusses recent updates in tennis, including player withdrawals, a new documentary on Rafael Nadal, and NCAA controversies.

Yes, we're talking about the court position taken by doubles team Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini. Also ugly is the preventive (we hope?) withdrawal of Carlitos from the rest of clay court season. Plus: BTS from the new (superlative) Rafael Nadal doc that's about to drop on Netflix, and update to the roiling NCAA controversy as the University of Arkansas axes it's entire tennis program, and, of course, reader Qs.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
