Monica Puig joins the podcast to discuss a wide range of topics in the tennis world, which proved in the past week that there is no shortage of drama and breaking news. Puig recaps Novak Djokovic's title-run in Beijing, and analyzes how the 24-time major champion can carry this into 2027. The 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist also reacts to Jannik Sinner's decision to end his 2026 season, and dives into Carlos Alcaraz's Tokyo triumph and his ability to enjoy the process.
Puig also explains why she's not reading too much into the early losses of Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka in China, and explains why the latter is perfectly fine balancing her off-court and on-court lives. And Puig goes in depth about Emma Navarro's public disclosure of her health conditions, speaking passionately about the struggles female athletes face and how brave the young American is in speaking up.
