Episode 388: Sinner Dazzles Through Cloud; Nadal's Sunset

  • Summary

  • Ben and Tumaini join up once again to discuss the tennis season that is *still* going in mid-November, somehow.

    We start with Jannik Sinner's dominant run at the ATP Finals in Turin, where he never lost more than four games in any set en route to a title that moved him even further from the pack. How discordant are these magnificent triumphs with the backdrop of his still unresolved anti-doping saga?

    We also discuss the impressive season put together by finalist Taylor Fritz, express concern over the present and future of Daniil Medvedev, and discuss the ATP reupping for another five years of this event in Italy.

    We then go to Tumaini's beat in Spain, where he is on the ground in Malaga for Billie Jean King Cup, Davis Cup, and the Rafael Nadal retirement. We recorded this before Nadal played his final match, but you can get a sense of how big the hype was around the city for this occasion.

    More of your mailbag questions get answered in an upcoming episode!
