In our third and final installment of our Best of Series, 2019, show producer Chester Jones III offers up his fav episode of the season for review...BOT 25: SPECIAL GUEST - MS. NANCY GOES IN! Yes ladies and gents, Ms. Nancy is back! From the witty banter, to her dropping bombs on certain coaches and commentators in the game, Ms. Nancy's brand of commentary is something that deserves a second listen. That being said, it was an easy choice to have this episode make our "Best Of" list for 2019...and she called it on-air too!
Part 2 of our Best Of Series, 2019 Edition has Isaac taking us to school once again with that SPECIAL EDITION: BOT - 102 Episode! The Bruthas had such a good time cluing you in to their unique terminology, that Isaac just had to have it as tops on his list for the season. Take a listen, get educated, and BE ENTERTAINED! This class will have you in stitches!
Welcome to our Best Of Series, 2019 Edition! Over the next few weeks, we're going to run down our favorite episodes of the season. In this episode, Bryce tells us why our "Wimbledon '19 Results" episode was at the top of his list, and how he may have made life-long enemies out of a particular set of well-known commentators of the sport. Check it out...it's even better the second time around!
We have a special treat for you guys and gals! In the spirit of family and the holidays, we wanted to give you one more insightful look at the game from none other than Bryce's fiercely outspoken mother, Ms. Nancy.
Ms. Nancy has been an avid tennis fan for over 30 years, so much so that she schedules her personal calendar around the sport, and shuts down any outside contact with the world when certain matches are being played. In the episode, she gives her unflinching account of the game and the players within it, which includes cementing a definitive position on the polarizing G.O.A.T. debate in men's tennis, her humorous take on Naomi Osaka's "unhappiness," and a critical view of Patrick Mouratoglou that CANNOT be missed. Be sure to tune in, cuz Mama Nancy brought that fire!
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!
Family, the Bruthas have a special treat for you this week! They have invited their very first guest to join them on the court to discuss the game that's so near and dear to their hearts. And quite naturally, their very first guest on Bruthas on Tennis, is a Sistah on Tennis!
Ms. Marsha Douglas, an avid fan and player of the game with a surgical backhand and a hammer for a forehand, stops in on the show to discuss her introduction to the game as a youngster on the island of Jamaica, her experience having a parent-coach and its possible advantages/disadvantages, her favorite old school/new school players, and much more! Tune in to get to know a little more about Ms. Douglas, her game, and even if she's down to be a possible guest host on the show! (Quietly, she was so good she could even be a replacement if the Bruthas ain't on their game! Watch out dea nah!)
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!
