#179: WTA Wrap 2019: But Wow, What A Moment
Our penultimate episode of 2019 is exciting for 2 reasons: we get to wrap this hugely entertaining WTA season and launch our first ever crowdfunding campaign. We're asking our loyal listeners to consider throwing a few coins our way to help us expand on our already 5(!) seasons of podcasting. But back to tennis -- we daresay that top tier of the WTA is shaping up a bit more clearly this year. Between stone-cold killers like Andreescu, a consistent no. 1 in Barty, up-and-comers like Gauff and Anisimova, and multi-Slam winners in Halep and Osaka, the WTA is in a great place. With help from our listeners, we chat about the most surprising, funniest, feel-good, and favorite moments of the WTA season. After that, cap off your WTA season by taking our quiz alongside Jonathan (and tell us how you did). 0:30 Announcing our first ever crowdfunding campaign - #GoFundTBS - here's why we're asking and how we'll invest in the podcast 6:00 Assessing the themes of the WTA season: parity but the hierarchies are becoming clearer 10:00 The winners of the WTA's 14 big titles - Barty & Andreescu with 3 each 21:10 Our listeners' favorite moments of the WTA season: Murrena, Townsend, Su-Wei everything, Bianca-Angelique Drama Queen-Gate, Strycova's Wimbledon, and more 31:30 You Did That: Coco Gauff 34:00 Feel Good Moments: Bianca comforts Serena in Toronto, Barty's entire season, Kristie Ahn's US Open 39:15 Most surprising moments: Konta's clay run, Barty/Halep/Andreescu's Slam wins, Serena-Pliskova at AO, Clijsters' comeback announcement 48:10 Funniest Moments: "If it's not one scam" ... you know the rest 55:00 Keeping ourselves honest - how did we do on our January predictions for the year-end top 10 and breakout players? 60:30 Checking in on the #HatchingandSnatching crowd 62:20 Comebacks, retirements, breakups, makeups 65:30 WTA Year-end Quiz - She said WHAT? |
