Episode Notes
Writer and tennis observer Patrick Parr joins Alvin fresh off watching Carlos Alcaraz vs Casper Ruud at the Japan Open. From '87 MJ comparisons to existential boredom, they unpack what makes Alcaraz’s tennis so magnetic—and what happens when the crowd isn’t on his side.
They also wander through Ben Shelton’s rise, the soul of indoor tennis, and who deserves to make the Turin Finals.
