Greetings again fam! We certainly hope all of you and your loved ones are still staying safe and healthy out there.
This week, The Bruthas put down their journalistic hats and invite you all to play along with them as they blitz through two strong rounds of rapid-fire questions, some tennis-related, some not. In the end, you'll learn a whole lot more about your favorite podcast hosts, and they hope they will learn a lot more about you as well! Listen for details...
Hello again fam! As we're all getting through these days of global lock-down, The Bruthas decided they wanted to come at y'all one mo' gin to give y'all some mo' flava for the week.
In this first episode of the "Quarantine Tapes," The Bruthas play Dr. Frankenstein as they construct their own bionic versions of perfect/ideal players, male and female. The player's are created using the strokes and attributes of the greatest players that have played the game (i.e. Steffi's forehand, Serena's serve...etc.). Tune in and check out their greatest creations!
IT'S ALIVE!
It was all good just a month ago...
The Bruthas discuss the COVID-19 virus that's shutting down the globe, and causing havoc on the tennis season. Beef between players and tournaments, beef between tournaments...even though there's no tennis being played, there's still PLENTY to talk about! Come on in, and let The Bruthas catch you up on all the tea!
**Our thoughts and prayers are with all who are struggling from all effects of the virus (sickness, death, unemployment...etc.). We are here for you, and will continue giving you content that will hopefully provide some sense of relief during this time of crisis. Hang in there! This too will pass... **
Can you believe February is over family? Wow, this is going quick! Clay season will be upon us before we know it! That being said, in this week's episode, the Bruthas cover the last few tournaments before Indian Wells, our first Tier 1 Masters Series of the year. They also chime in on the surprise of Sugarpova's sudden retirement, and how she will be remembered in the sport.
The Bruthas are back in full force this week as they break down certain trends in the women's game, including the exciting comeback of Kim Clijsters (the "Clijsters Slide" is back!). They also cover the tournaments that have taken place over the past few weeks including the Dubai Open, the Qatar Open, and the Delray Beach Open.
They also discuss Roger Federer missing all of clay season due to his decision to have knee surgery, and examine how this absence could impact his career as a whole.
With Bryce off celebrating his birthday, we are treated to Isaac holding down the fort all by himself! So come on in as we explore Isaac's thoughts and musings on all of the tennis that has transpired in the first half of February 2020 including the Women's Fed Cup, and a few of the ATP 250-level men's tournaments. He also chimes in on Novak and wether or not he will tie Roger Federer by the end of 2020 (WHAT?!?), and capture the ever elusive Golden Slam in the process.
So listen in as Isaac entertains us with his typical spice-laden style, and takes us on a journey that is unbashfully authentic, informative, and 100% Isaac!
Another Australian Open is in the books, and The Bruthas close it out in spectacular fashion! They critique how their predictions measured up to the (in some cases)shocking results, and they also chat about the many different drama-filled subplots that developed from the tournament that could last the entire year.
The Bruthas also stopped by the 2020 Oracle Challenger Series to take in some live tennis. Steve Johnson, Taylor Townsend and a few more players lit up the courts in Newport Beach California, and the bruhs spill the tea on all that went down out there!
We've made it to the second week of the 2020 Australian Open family! The Bruthas check in on their predictions, and talk about the major upsets that have transpired so far in the tournament. It's been a doozy so far!
The also share their thoughts on the shocking passing of Kobe Bryant and others this past weekend. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of the families that were affected by this tremendous tragedy.

This week, the Bruthas jump into the draws...the Australian Open draws! They break down the infamous "quarter-of-death" which sets Coco Gauff up against Venus Williams in the first round AGAIN (shame on you AO!), and the rest of the playing field on both sides of the tournament.
There's also another unique element of the tournament that the players will have to deal with this year, the deteriorating air quality brought on by the continuing bush fires happening all over Australia. The Bruthas discuss this, and what the Australian Open officials are doing to prepare for worst, and keep all of the players/participants as safe and healthy as possible.
One way or another, there will be DRAMA in this first Grand Slam of the year/decade, and the Bruthas will be there to cover it! It all starts here!

The Bruthas dropped in on the completion of several of the tournaments leading up to the Australian Open, and they have A LOT to say! They cover the results of the Shenzhen Open, the Brisbane Intl, and the ASB Classic...the tournament where Serena became a champion for the first time as a mother.
They also cover the results of the Qatar Open, and share their polarizing opinions on the inaugural ATP Cup and it's viability for the future.
