The Bruthas are back! Fresh off their winter break, the Bruthas have returned and ready to put that funk back in yo' ear!
They cover the first tournaments of the year, the inaugural ATP Cup, the Shenzhen Open, the Brisbane International, and the ASB. Plus, the Bruthas recap the 2019 season with the first annual Bruthas On Tennis Awards where they select winners in the following categories: Player of the Year, Newcomer of the Year, Breakout Result of the Year, Upset of the Year, "Mr. and Mrs. Petty" of the Year, and the specifically unique, "You So Crazy" Award. You can't get this flava anywhere else folks. Be sure to tune in to find out who won!
It's a wrap family! The Bruthas close out 2019 by covering the final tournaments of the year, the Next Gen Finals, the Fed Cup Finals, and pay their respects to a few players that recently announced their retirements (some expected, some shocking). Also, with the Olympics coming up, they debate whether or not Serena can capture a "Golden Slam" in 2020.
As we close out our first season on the digital airwaves, we'd like to thank each and every one of you for your listenership! We plan to keep giving you the real on this game we love, so look forward to even more commentary, more access, and more fun in 2020! (Also be on the lookout for our "Best Of 2019" series coming over the next few weeks.) Peace!
As said before…all good things must come to an end, and sadly, the 2019 regular season has come to a close. BUT EVEN WITH THAT, THERE'S STILL MORE TENNIS TO BE PLAYED!!!
This week's episode has the Bruthas taking on last week's men's finals in the Paris Masters, the final regular season tournament of the year. They also jump in on the CRAZY finals of the women's year-end tourney, the upcoming Next-Gen ATP Finals, and the now finalized 8 players that made it to the year-end championship on the male side.
The Bruthas also reveal a special secret on the episode, and, it's also Brutha Isaac's birthday! You KNOW he's going to be a bit turned up for this one, so be sure to check him out in all his glory!
We're creeping up on the commencement of the Year-End Championships, and the players that are in the mix have just a little more tennis left before IT'S ON! In this episode, the Bruthas cover the tourneys that are leading up to that final chase for the end-of-year crown, including the Swiss Indoors, and the CRITICAL Paris Masters. Also, with Roger Federer recently winning his 103rd career title, they chime in on whether or not they believe he will break the all-time record for most singles titles in a career (109, Jimmy Connors), and the players who could possibly stop him from achieving such a feat.
As we're speeding toward the end of the year, the chase for the last few spots for the year-end championship is HEATING UP! The Bruthas talk this, as well as the Kremlin Cup, and the clash of the wounded warriors, Stan "The Man" Wawrinka and Andy "Muzza" Murray. They also contemplate whether or not Andy has the ability to qualify for the year-end championship next year (2020).
Also, It's our 20th episode y'all! Thank's for sticking with us, laughing with us, and enjoying this game that we love...with us! We're gonna continue to give you that flava, so keep tuning in and letting us know how you feel about the show!
Yes, yes friends. "Coco Watch" is officially a thing! The young phenom has won her first WTA tournament and is off and running. In this episode, the Bruthas cover her meteoric rise into tennis consciousness as well as cement their positions on Medvedev being NEXT on the men's side. They also break down the many happenings at this past week's tournaments.
It's October, and we are in full harvest mode in the sport! Folks are racking up their wins, and trying to preserve their rankings as we move toward the end of the year, because they all know..."Winter is coming."
In this episode, Bruthas cover a few masters tournaments, including a premiere women's tournament from last week, and weigh in on who they believe will secure the last two spots on the men's side for the prestigious ATP year-ending tournament. (they also proclaim their love for Hot Pockets as an added bonus. Somehow, someway they worked that in there. *throws hands up*)
Seasons change...the tennis doesn't! The Bruthas dive into the fall season by covering a few of the Asian tournaments that are going on, as well as jump into a JUICY hot topic that will spawn many debates. With the official return of Kim Clijsters on the horizon (yes, THAT Kim Clijsters), the Bruthas discuss whether she or Serena Williams will be the first mother to win a Grand Slam tournament. We're tallying up the votes on this like an 'ol school pick 'um league folks! Send your picks in by the end of the episode for full credit!
The Bruthas review the results from their favorite event of the year - the Laver Cup. Hear their ideas for the Gibson Cup, a Women's version of the Laver Cup and how team Europe would compare against team World. One thing is for sure, someone's gonna "go get it."
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end...
THE most electrifying tournament of the year ended with a bang, and a bit of history, and the Bruthas cover it all in this entertaining episode. They discuss their reactions to the several surprises and disappointments that surfaced during the final week of the 2019 US Open, and predict how the results of the tournament could linger into 2020. We may truly be nearing the end of some of the greatest careers in tennis, and we also may be seeing the beginnings of a few as well. Either way, the Bruthas are paying attention!
