Hypebeasts
Sure we love tennis here at The Main Draw, but we mainly like tennis style—and today we go deep on sneaker culture and why so few sneakers that look good with jeans work well on court (and vice versa).

Customer Reviews
The comfy chair of tennis podcasts
A tennis podcast for fans who keep the sport in perspective. Far more theoretical than analytical; conversational and irreverent. At times, inspired. Also, sporadic. These two won’t be held to the pro tour's relentless schedule. Do yourself a big favor and subscribe, but realize the hosts aren't about to spend an hour each week gassing on about tournament recaps and the latest rankings.
Best tennis podcast I've heard
Sports talk for people who hate sports talk. Super knowledgeable hosts with interesting insights and they're even funny.
Love this but so much wrong information!
I enjoy this podcast, but feel like the hosts are simply casual tennis fans as each episode I feel like there is at least one significantly wrong facts! (Most recently stating that Victoria Azarenka won 2 Wimbledons!)
