Description

Fresh off an incredible run to the US Open final, the No. 1 American, Taylor Fritz, joins the podcast to share his thoughts on his first major final and life since then. Jack, Sam, Steve, and John quiz Taylor on who among them inspired him the most as a junior, and debate who’s more recognizable in public—Taylor or his girlfriend, Morgan.


Plus, it's Laver Cup weekend and the boys reflect on their experiences playing in the event, which pits Europe's best tennis players against Team World. John reveals why Chicago was his favorite Laver Cup venue and Jack shares what it was like to compete against and defeat Roger Federer in his final match and the whirlwind that followed.
