Programming notes:
• While the rest of the sports world was swept up in Hurricane Trump, it was quite a week for tennis. A new—and largely successful—event featuring Federer and Nadal. And a new—and largely successful—Hollywood movie featuring Emma Stone and Steve Carrell. This sport might just make it, after all.
• The most recent podcast features Emma Stone and Billie Jean talking about “Battle of the Sexes.”
• The next podcast guest: Tony Godsick talking about the Laver Cup and Stacy Allaster of the USTA gamely coming on our show to make the case for on-court coaching.
