Wimbledon Round 3 complete (almost) 11pm curfew beef. Andy Murray got robbed. Badosa back injury. Sabalenka grunting and black tights. Berrettini surprising comeback. Brooksby verses Fuskovic. Djoker mamba mentality. Fokina sh*t himself. Seriously. Twitter: https://twitter.com/chrishasekwatt

Dark spandex rule change Period opponent advice Wimbledon Round of 16 cecap Dimitrov screwed by umpire Rublev miracle shot Bublik's beard is weird Handshake drama between Azarenka and Svitolina Naomi baby girl Twitter: https://twitter.com/chrishasekwatt

- Tsitsipas wins his 3rd Monte Carlo - Tsitsipas jumps into top 10 - Where was Badosa - Umpires have it out for Rune - Medvedev not happy with Umpires - Why no Hawk Eye? - Horrible calls - Djokovic gets a B+ but still looks a bit slow - Fashion critique

Men's Wimbledon Final. The GOAT Novak Djokovic vs The Young Prince Carlitos Alcaraz. Women's Wimbledon Final upset. The Czech sensation. Other Wimbledon and non Wimbledon stuff.

In this milestone 60th episode of Love Means Nothing, we finally talk The White Lotus — late to the party, but fully invested. We also unpack Rory McIlroy’s emotional Masters win, a rollercoaster performance that reminded us why we watch sports in the first place.

On the tennis front, we dive deep into the Monte Carlo Open: Alcaraz cements himself as the hottest ticket in tennis, while Musetti shows signs of real mental strength. We also ask — are some of these players (and commentators) just a little too soft?

From the wild (Fils nearly taking out a fan) to the disappointing (Djokovic and Zverev losing early), we break down whether panic is warranted. Plus: why North Americans still struggle on clay, Coco Gauff’s big move with her own management agency, and Rafa expecting baby number two.

French Open Update. Rune vs Rude Boy. Alcaraz or Alcatraz. Djokovic peaking when it counts. Zverev doing Zverev things. Muchova the Czech Justine Henin. Osaka, who cares. David Grutman partners with Prince who partners with Reigning Champ. Watch out ATP, we’ve got a LIV of tennis brewing in the distance.

This week on Love Means Nothing, we get a little opinionated (okay, a lot). Chris breaks down why Babolat rackets just don’t cut it and why Wilson still reigns as the most elegant brand in tennis. We dig into the underappreciated grind of senior tournaments and ask: should tennis move to a one-serve format?

Also on the docket:
– Serena’s spicy comments on men vs. women in tennis
– Mensik’s future stardom and his poised post-Djokovic win remarks
– What we know about his knee injury
– And of course, Djokovic’s unexpected black eye: where’d that come from?

Tune in, debate with us, and let’s keep tennis interesting.

In this conversation, Chris and Pavy G discuss Djokovic's performance at the Australian Open and the reasons behind his struggles. They also delve into the rise of Jannik Sinner and the comparison with Carlos Alcaraz. The conversation touches on the influence of sponsorships and the establishment in promoting certain players. They also discuss Rafael Nadal's participation in the Australian Open and his ambassadorship with Saudi Arabia. The conversation concludes with a discussion on players who are in retirement but have not officially announced it. The conversation explores the topics of Nadal's ambassadorship, Djokovic's potential partnership with Saudi Arabia, the impact on other tournaments and the Labor Cup, the partnership between ATP and WTA, and the commercial value and prize money disparities in tennis.

Takeaways

Djokovic's hectic schedule and lack of rest may have contributed to his performance at the Australian Open.

Jannik Sinner has emerged as a strong contender in the tennis world, surpassing Carlos Alcaraz in terms of consistency and mental strength.

Sponsorships and the establishment play a significant role in promoting certain players and shaping their public image.

Rafael Nadal's participation in the Australian Open and his ambassadorship with Saudi Arabia have raised questions about his intentions and motivations.

Some players may continue to play professionally despite being in retirement due to financial considerations or other factors. Nadal's ambassadorship to Saudi Arabia raises questions about financial motivations and potential risks to his reputation.

Djokovic's potential partnership with Saudi Arabia could bring more international attention to the country and help grow the game of tennis.

The involvement of Saudi Arabia in tennis could lead to the creation of a new super series and the hosting of major tournaments.

The partnership between ATP and WTA is unlikely due to differences in commercial value and financial struggles faced by the WTA.

The debate around prize money disparities in tennis highlights the importance of commercial value and viewership in determining earnings.

This is the Love Means Nothing Tennis podcast and I’m your host Chris Hasek-Watt. This is a tennis podcast like no other. I’m bluntly honest, occasionally correct and sometimes offensive. If you love listening to Chrissie Evert suck up to Naomi Osaka at every opportunity, well, you’ll hate this. If instead, you like legit game insight, unadulterated critique, juicy gossip and rumors (that occasionally starts from me) and a view into the business dealings of players and the sport itself, then Love Means Nothing is right up your alley. One final thing, I love tennis - and I hope you do too.
