Listen up, Caro! Erwin and I had the pleasure of being joined on the TSF podcast by Jonathan Scott, who has done tremendous things in these realms and also writes daily on Tennis.com for their gossipy thread, the Daily Spin. We were all about the post-Wimbledon gossip on this podcast, where the three of us weigh in on Novak’s grass-eating habits, what SW19 meant for Kvitova (and Sharapova) and how it’s possible that Caroline Wozniacki is playing this week — on clay! Plus! Our take on London fashion, our favorite moments from the 2011 grass Slam and how much this week really means to one Andy Roddick.

On the airwaves: After going silent on the radio front for a couple of months, the TSF team is back to check in on Middle Sunday talking about Venus Williams fashion, Bethanie Mattek-Sands “fashion,” the big noise about grunting (we’re over it! — the arguing, that is), the tennis bags for SW19, the return of the Williams sisters and more musings from both TSF East and West in this installment of our podcast series. | TSF Vault: More podcasts

He said, He said: David and Nick’s take on Miami: TSF Podcast April 2011
With the quick passing of Indian Wells and Miami there will be no big-time hardcourt tennis in the U.S. until July. David and I discuss what went right (and wrong) in Key Biscayne this past week, as we predict what the downswing means for a pair of Andys and look to a clay season dusted in question marks for Novak Djokovic. Was soccer the right choice for the men’s Japan fundraiser? And will the women’s tour have a flourish of its top talent rising from the doldrums to compete in a Willliams-sister-less tour?

Do you usually fly first class, Nole? TSF Podcast March 2011
Oh let the awkward moments ring! David and I might be good friends, but don’t let that fool you into thinking we’ve got this podcast thing down pat. All the better for the listener though, no? This week, David and I were all chatty about what Nole’s recent run (flight?!) to the top means. Our opinion? Not much. Though it could, if he carries it over to the clay season. We also took turns weighing into this week’s Sunday Survey question on just what will happen to those two ladies named Williams. And doubles? Good exposure week for the game, but David smells a conspiracy brewing. (And I’m just tan.) Click above! | TSF Vault: Podcasts

Our mid-winter musings: TSF Podcast Feb 2011
What fun doing a podcast with one David Thorpe is. You folks don’t want to miss this one: we talk player-name pronunciation (it’s Rah-OWE-nitch, BTW), South American cultural customs, high fashion and how Roger Federer‘s real estate savvy has helped him stay on the top of his game. Plus! Danielle Ribner of Loup joins the convo live from Delray Beach to tell us how dang hot it is down there (jealous D!) and how fricking cool her latest photo shoot was. Oh, and how could I forget? David and I talk up Jim Courier, and what an adventure he’ll have as a one-man Davis Cup team next week in Chile. Click above! | TSF Vault: Podcasts

After my day-time duties were complete, I sat down with David Thorpe, a good friend and freelance tennis writer, for a little chat about our respective days at the US Open. While David and I had planned to meet up early in the day, that didn’t quite end up happening. We connected over a couple of beers and to chat about Day 4 of the Open.

We wanted to make something new and we did. It’s called a podcast. And you should listen. (Photo by 20×200 via flickr.)
BOTW Roundtable: TSF Podcast 2010 BOTW Roundtable
I was lucky enough to wrangle C Note (of Forty Deuce fame) and Chris Oddo, a freelancer here writing for On The Baseline to participate in a roundtable discussion between sessions at the Bank of the West Classic. Check out the audio for our thoughts on who will be the queen of the US Open Series, why practice courts are the best places to be at small-time tournaments and what we think Lynn Welch does on her down time (the little of it that she has).

Troy and I are returning to the TSF audio board this week for our third podcast. We’re re-capping what’s happened the last few weeks on tour, as well as looking ahead to what the clay season will/can bring. As usual, we’ll make sure to include some TSF-inspired talk, like just when exactly Alexandra Stevenson should retire officially and much, much more.
But wait! We want to hear from you! In the comment section, include a question or prompt you’d like for us to touch on. You’ve got all day today (Monday) to do so, so get to it, kiddies! We’ll make sure to touch on a couple of things you wise souls bring up.
Catch up on our two first podcasts after the cut.

Erwin and I sat down Monday night in the depths of Madison Square Garden to talk about the night that had just happened, why/how tennis has gotten so popular recently, Melanie Oudin, WTA has-beens (there’s lots!) and what’s to come over the next few weeks. Enjoy!
