ANATOMY OF TWO SUSPENSIONS

The Body Serve Tennis Podcast
​Episode 57

The Body Serve Tennis Podcast returns to take you through Nick Kyrgios and Maria Sharapova's disciplinary drama. We try to figure out where to stand on Kyrgios, why his behavior angers so many, and what the ATP means by suggesting counselling. As for Sharapova, we are not kind about her tasteless media blitz following her (slightly) reduced suspension. Stick around for actual tennis talk - lauding the strong fall performers and looking ahead to Singapore. ​
