Family, winter is coming...and so is the end of the tennis season! Sho nuff it's just around the corner, and while it's been a rough go this year, we've actually gotten in some good tennis despite it all!
With that said, there's still a few more opportunities to get some solid matches in before all is said and done, and the Bruthas are on top of it all! Listen in as they recap the Ostrava Open (Czech Republic), the second-to-last women's tournament of the year, the men's ATP Cologne II tournament (Germany), and the men's European Open (Belgium). They also give their opinions on select players from both the men's and women's sides as they try to break down the age-old question, "What the hell is going on with 'Player X'?"
What's good family? As we're rolling towards the end of the tennis season (and what a crazy season it's been), there's still A LOT of good tennis still being played out there! In this episode, the Bruthas talk through a few 100-level and 250-level tournaments that were on the docket last week including the St. Petersburg Open (Russia), the bett1HULKS Indoors (Germany), and the ITF Santa Margherita Di Pula (Italy). They also talk through the upcoming tournaments that are happening his week, and chat it up with their live audience on IG Live. Be sure to come and holla at them every Monday at 8pm EST.

This is a unique one fam! If you've been following along, you should've heard the Bruthas referencing a new startup app called Locker Room. The audio-only social platform allows sports enthusiasts to hang out and discuss all things pertaining to their favorite athletic pastimes. Users can revel in their fandom in rooms tailored to specific sports or athletic events, and chat it up gregariously almost like they were hanging out at a bar or local barbershop.
Each Monday, the Bruthas host their own room focused on tennis on the app, and this episode is the audio capture of their most recent session. Listen in as they unabashedly mix it up with the visitors in the room on the French Open results and other topics in the the tennis world. Also, look for the Locker Room app on Twitter (@lockerroomapp), and sign up! It's free, and as you'll see after listening to this episode, that it's totally worth it!
Whas good family! The Bruthas want to take a second just to THANK YOU for kickin' it with us for as long as you have. We love having y'all along for the ride!
We've got a special treat for you this week! Along life's journey, you meet people who are true inspirations for others. It's almost as if the ups/downs, the wins/losses in their lives are meant to be a living message for us that the fight is not over, and the victory comes to those who work hard, and endure.
The Bruthas were blessed to sit with someone who carries this message on his sleeve, wether he intends to or not. His story of perseverance as an African-American tennis coach striving to breakthrough overseas, and his intense determination on his road to recovery from a massive stroke is enough to cancel all of our trivial, sometimes selfish, day-to-day complaints.
Ladies and gentlemen, we introduce to you, Mr. Juandell Brunner. Enjoy his chat with the Bruthas, and be inspired!
Ooooooweeee family! What a tournament! We saw some excellent tennis in the last few rounds of the French Open, and A WHOLE LOT of bread was served during those rounds! History was made once again, and a "newcomer" shocked the world by hoisting the trophy at the end of the fortnight. A star was born, and another star continued to shine...
The Bruthas run er'thang down for ya inside this episode. Get your listen on, and most definitely get your chuckle on as they have a lot to say about what went down this year on the clay. Enjoy!
The first week of the 2020 French Open was a HOT one fam! While the temperatures and players were freezing, the play between the lines was on fyah! Upsets galore (especially on the women's side), on-court drama in both singles and doubles, and the Bruthas got alllllll the tea to spill for you on all that dominated this opening week. Take a listen, and get caught up on all the madness that's happening over in the extremely chilly City of Love and Lights.
Bonjour fam! Welcome back to the city of lights (or love), Paris, France! The Bruthas will be your travel guide through the beautiful sights and sounds of the annual Rafael Nadal Open held at Roland Garros...
For real though, this year's French Open is shaping up to be a very interesting one. The draws have just come out, and on this episode, the Bruthas give you their take on how the tournament will unfold, round by round. The competition will be fierce, the fan factor will be in play as there will be a few in the stands, Nadal and Djokovic seem to be on a collision course, and then there's that pesky COVID factor that could throw a monkey wrench in everyone's plans. Last Grand Slam of the year...this will be one to watch, and the Bruthas get you all set up and ready to go in this preview. Enjoy!
What a crazy year fam! We are here in late September talkin' bout starting up the clay season. Say what?!? Corona done did a job on us this year, but guess what, WE HERE!...and the Bruthas are here for allllll of this dutty clay work!!
On this episode, they do a deep dive on the business at the Italian Open and take a few live questions/comments from their live Instagram and Locker Room audiences. They also subtly get you primed for the upcoming Nadal Open (i.e. French Open...they might as well change the name at this point). Take a listen, and gon' get your mind right for the next phase in this topsy-turvy tennis season.
Fam...What. A. Tournament! With the US Open being the first Slam to be played in the COVID era, the participants and the fans have to be extremely proud of the event, and the level of tennis that was on display, especially in the finals!
The Bruthas effectively break down all that happened in the explosive second week of the tournament including Serena's collapse, and the two HIGHLY contested finals. Needless to say, this one will be for the record books, and the Bruthas, as always, will recap the event just how you want it, raw and uncut!
Whad up fam! While quite non-traditional, this first week of the US Open has been all kinds of entertaining to say the least!
