  • BOT 59: It’s Just Around the Corner…

    Welcome back family! Come on in, get 'cha a good seat, and get ready to get your tennis fill from the Bruthas. We're finally closing in on some real tennis in the next few weeks, and the Bruthas are excited! They start the show tackling World Team Tennis and how dominant Kim Clijsters has been during the tournament. Do we dare say Serena should be scared of her when the Grand Slams begin again? Will Kim ultimately be the one who stands between Queen Serena and #24? Say it ain't so Bruthas! They also take inventory of the different changes the game has experienced during these COVID-19 exhibitions, and run down a short list of enhancements they'd like to permanently implement that will add a bit more excitement and flare to the tours. Their list has already sparked some debate on social media, so be sure to tune in, and join the fray afterwards. Hit us up, and let us know your opinions!

  • Tennis on the Horizon and BOT Announcements!

    Good to see y'all again fam! We got another good one for ya this week! On this episode, the Bruthas engage fans directly on IG Live and chat about the current hot topics in Tennis. They cover the possibility of having a Grand Slam without the "Big 3" and the effects on on the other players in the tournament, Zverev's interesting coaching change, Chris Eubanks' heroics in the DraftKings All-American Team Cup, and much more. They also have a few major announcements that you DON'T want to miss! Be sure to tune in!

  • BOT 57: Cupcakes and Updates

    Whad up Family! The Bruthas are back at 'cha with another weekly recap of the game and the DRAMA surrounding it. Continued fallout (and positive tests) from the Djokovic's Adria Tour, Twitter beef between Nick Kyrgios, Sasha Zverev and...Boris Becker, (say it ain't so Boris!) and an upcoming tournament in Berlin that has a very juicy matchup with potential for fireworks is just the beginning for the Bruthas. Listen in as they dive into a host of topics, and even have time to curse Dunkin Hines cookies/cupcakes for making these quarantine days so deliciously filling. Thanks D.H!

  • BOT 56: Back 2 Basics

    Greetings fam! Y'all are going to be glad y'all tuned in for this one... After a few themed/focused episodes, the Bruthas are back to true form as they cast their wide net, and bust down on allllll the crazy happenings in and around our beloved sport.

Be sure to tune in for the fireworks! **Also, we're giving away another Bruthas on Tennis official hat. Be sure to peep our IG for the details. You're going to want to get in on this!

  • BOT 55: SPECIAL GUEST – MS. KATRINA ADAMS

    What's good family! Last month we conducted a poll via social media on who should be the Bruthas' next special guest. Out of all the responses we received, one person easily received the majority of votes from the 5 options presented, and that person was Ms. Katrina Adams. On this week's episode, the Bruthas answer the people's call, and have an enlightening discussion with the 2-time Northwestern University All-American, former 2-time USTA CEO & President, and current ITF Fed Cup Chairperson. She is a literal BOSS in the game and continues to use her influence to champion inclusion and gender equality throughout the sport. Tune in to hear one of our most respected leaders talk about her journey from player to revered executive, as well as gain top-down insights on the state of our game, and where it's going. Thank you for the suggestion fam, and stay tuned for our next poll! Bruthas on Tennis is ALWAYS for the people!

  • BOT 54: UNSUNG #1: Lori McNeil and MaliVai Washington

    Good day family. A LOT going on out there nowadays. As three Bruthas trying to provide some sort of entertainment through the sport we love, we'd be remiss if we didn't acknowledge the protests and movement that has impacted the world. We at Bruthas on Tennis denounce all acts of police brutality, injustice, and racism that has transpired not only in our home country (USA), but all over the globe. We stand in solidarity with those in the fight to eradicate racism as well as unjust laws/policing, and hope to build a future built on equality, where diversity is championed, and celebrated. A short list of resources and info shared from impacted tennis players are listed below the show notes. And now, on to the show... For some much needed relief, the Bruthas decided to give a lil' shine to two players that may have flown under the radar for the typical tennis fan, but who were most definitely over-achievers in the sport, Ms. Lori McNeil, and Mr. MaliVai Washington. Listen in as the Bruthas educate and legitimately elevate these two players into the tennis stratosphere.

  • BOT 53: OFF THE DOME #2: Pet Peeves

    Greetings Family! The Bruthas are coming at you again with another episode of their OFF THE DOME series, a free-flowing stream-of-consciousness on all things tennis. Needless to say, this is another fun one! (*insert DJ Khaled's "ANOTHER ONE" here) This time, the Bruthas talk about their most annoying pet peeves while on court and playing the game. From taking teammate "coaching" from someone who isn't better than you, to inconsiderate court etiquette, the Bruthas go in on a few violations that grind their gears and get VERY specific with their own personal experiences. Someone caught a ball in the eye at net while playing against the Bruthas? Man...I guess we better stay on the baseline when playing these dudes. The net could be hazardous!

  • BOT 52: OFF THE DOME #1: Commentators

    Fam! We are coming out of this thing slowly, yet surely! Things are starting to open up, and it looks like we WILL be getting back to some full-out tournament tennis soon! You made it this far (congratulations!)...hang in there just a little while longer! We 'gon make it! Even though tennis isn't quite all the way back yet, the Bruthas will continue to deliver that guuud content, and this one is a guuud one y'all! In this episode, the Bruthas expound on one of their most-liked "hot topics" and discuss their polarizing opinions on some of the popular commentators in the game. This time, they focus their commentary on the Tennis Channel, and the familiar faces we see covering the action. As you'll hear, they clearly dig some of 'um, annnnnnd they clearly don't dig some of 'um. Either way, they provide an especially entertaining take on the professionals that analyze and break down the game we love, and it sounds like they had a great time breaking down the ones that break it down! Check it out...
