Episode 51 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast, with Carl Bialik of the Thirty Love podcast, starts with a discussion of Roger Federer’s 100th title, and the chances that he’ll reach Jimmy Connors’s record of 109. We also consider the odds that Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will join him in the triple-digit title club.
We continue with a lot of Nick Kyrgios talk, attempting to make sense of his ability to win matches despite losing the majority of points, as well as his abilities to unsettle opponents and cause commentators to say questionable things. We also do a bit of an Indian Wells preview to close out the hour.
Finally: My apologies for the poor editing of last week’s episode. You won’t run into any similar issues with this one.
Thanks for listening!
