Episode Notes

Petko and Petchey are joined for the first time by Notorious "P," Prakash "Worldwide" Amritraj in Rome and they are NOT wasting a single second. Our trio kicks things off with one of the greatest what-were-you-doing-that-day moments in tennis history between Roger and Rafa. They dissect the clay court chaos and upsets ahead of Roland Garros and shed a bright spotlight on the Grand Slam prize money controversy. Plus, a sit down with one of the most inspiring figures on the WTA Tour.
Buckle up.
What's on this episode:

The Anniversary Drop — 20 years ago in Rome, Nadal and Federer played a 5-set, 5-hour, 57-game thriller that set the tone for their rivalry. Petko sets the scene, the crew reacts to this nostalgia.

Headlines & Hot Takes — Sabalenka and Djokovic both suffered early losses in Rome — so where exactly are we on the panic meter?

Show me the $$ — Top players are reportedly threatening a strike to demand a bigger revenue share. Will it happen? Should it happen? Would it even work?

Guest Interview: Elina Svitolina — The two-time Rome champion and WTA Super-Mom sits down for a candid conversation about life as a mother on tour, the emotional final chapter of husband Gaël Monfils' career, and yes — Petko asks her about her hair. Post-interview the crew debates whether Svitolina is actually a better player now than before motherhood.

Buy – Sell – Hold — Prakash runs the rules, the crew plays ball. Who is going to outperform their ranking at Roland Garros? Who is a sell heading into Paris? And who do you want in your portfolio for the entire grass and US hardcourt summer stretch?

Fan Mail — A parent writes in about her 14-year-old daughter who dominates group classes but struggles to translate her game in tournaments — the crew delivers real, experience-backed advice.

Code Violations — Prakash has things to get off his chest with some gym etiquette and cheat meal shenanigans.
