It’s been impossible to keep up with tennis news lately, with Serena’s return, the grass season starting, and the top players continuing to pressure the Slams on prize money and consultation. We had too much on our Roland Garros wrap agenda, so here’s the twin to episode 425. We talk about Serena’s long-simmering “comeback,” the product tie-ins with Ro and Zepbound, and her successful doubles match with Canadian star Victoria Mboko. We also check in with the ongoing player response to prize money increases (as a proportion of tournament revenue) and what could come next. Finally, we give our unorganized thoughts on the Rafa doc, check in with a kind Reddit user, and give you a Knicks segment that is now -- thankfully -- a time capsule of life before Jalen Brunson was an MVP and NBA champion!

11:30 Serena and Vicky ace their first (and only) test

23:10 Is this comeback meant to be a proof of concept for GLP-1 use?

33:10 Wimbledon prize money -- will the increase be enough for “Project Red Eye?”

40:00 Netflix’s Rafa documentary was a somewhat harrowing experience

49:30 Admitting I was wrong is important!

52:40 A quick Knicks segment (now a time capsule)
