      Thank you for your support! It might seem like we're producing numerous clips to boost viewership, but the truth is quite the opposite. Our exclusive agreement with T2/Tennis Channel provides them a one-week window to air content first on T2 every Sunday night, excluding audio. This arrangement allows us to offer a more detailed Audio Podcast on Tuesday. Our aim is to make all our content available to you, in your preferred format. Here's our schedule for better understanding:
      - Friday/Saturday: We record content for the T2 Show.
      - Sunday: The T2 Show debuts, followed by re-airings throughout the week on both T2 and Tennis Channel.
      - Monday: We record the Racket Rundown and any other new pieces.
      - Tuesday: We release the full Audio Podcast, containing all content. The UA-cam Show also premieres, featuring the Racket Rundown, new content from Monday, and any segments from the weekend not aired on T2 due to time restrictions.
      All content showcased on T2 is eventually uploaded to the Served UA-cam channel the following week.
      Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to provide all content to you for free!

    Watched Collins' run through Miami and then got to see semis and finals in person in Charleston. I don't remember the last time I saw a player being this dominant and playing with so much confidence. She's taking the ball closer to the baseline and opening up the court with angles and then as Andy mentioned hitting clean winners with large margins into wide open court. I hope she can keep it going through the rest of the year.

    They barely covered it, but Shelton played great in Houston. Getting through IceBerg & VeryBerry on clay was particularly telling of how much Ben's movement & BH on return have improved. All of his opponents tried picking on Belton's backhand, but they found it was much more stable. He wasn't afraid of ripping down the line winners, either. The serve & forehand are always great.
    And so, Ben Clayton rises to a new career high of #14 (#13 LIVE). Fritz's R1 loss to Musetti in Monte-Carlo, sees him relinquish US #1 to Shelton in the LIVE rankings after a three year reign from April 2021 to April 2024. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the season is a battle between Shelton & Fritz for pole position.
    Paul's ankle needs time to heal & Tiafoe is still finding his form. Neither court scrambler has the big serve or groundies of Shelton & Fritz. The #9-15 section of the rankings is now super crowded with Top 10 players who are unwilling to be easily dislodged by the likes of Paul, Tiafoe, and even Fritz. Of the top four US male players, Shelton seems to be operating with the most sustainable momentum and clarity while also having the least amount of points to defend until USO '24. Insiders said Ben could become the new US #1 and here we are.

      The gap between Ben and ATP Finals contention probably requires winning a M1000. But he has very few points to defend until September. If he can keep it respectable through RG, and I think he can really shine at Queens/Eastbourne/WM

      Many players often play better with home court advantage. The Eurocentric nature of the tennis schedule AND surface homogenization of the past few decades largely favoring counterpunchers on return has seen Eurasian players often set up for success at home tournaments more so than players from countries outside Europe. Also, the European clay (softer brick) & American clay (harder, mountainous stone) are from the same American company in Virginia.

      So true, especially Gauff. Her opponents were simply psyched out/intimidated by the crazed fans at her matches like the USO F with Sabalenka. The insufferable boorish Serena crowd has found their way to Coco's matches.

As for USO, Sable already won her maiden GS that year & so people were rooting for Gauff to get on the board as well. 2023 saw four different victors at the Slams, three of whom were maiden winners.

    Collins is just bludgeoning everybody to death. The Women's game has become all about power. In any given match-up the bigger ball basher always dictates the outcome -- if she's having a good day she hits her opponent off the court, if she's having a bad day she hits herself off the court. This doesn't happen in men's game because the power disparity is nowhere near as big in men's tennis. Short of separating their players into weight classes, WTA needs to switch back to lighter RD balls ASAP, not just to reduce injuries but also give the smaller, weaker players a fighting chance. And also it's time for tennis to go to 1 serve only to eliminate all serve-botting.
