Tuned into Myles David, US Open Hot Takes, Benito (Bad Bunny) in Puerto Rico
Description
US Open 2025 is in the books, and we’re joined by Myles David — Sports Illustrated contributor and host of Tuned Into Tennis Podcast— for a sharp, funny, and deeply informed wrap-up. Yo Aunteas Kerel, Dawon & Jerrell dig into Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka’s momentum, Taylor Townsend’s mindset and media moment, and whether the men’s hype cycles (Alcaraz, Sinner, Tiafoe, Fils, Felix) match reality. We also talk about Althea Gibson’s 75th anniversary and whether the tournament truly met the moment for Black tennis history.
Myles shares his journey from Louisiana to tennis journalism, why representation in media rooms matters, and how community changes the way we experience the sport.
They also touch on the latest in pop culture, with hot takes on Mariah Carey's VMA performance and Jerrell's adventures at a Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico.
So, get your cups ready for Minoritea Report!
