RealzTenisFanz Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

As we kinda sorta get back on track with podcasting seeing as this is our 10th season, we wanna say THANK YOU FANZ for keeping us alive and well!!! So we decided to a livecast with the end of the Australian Open forgetting to tell you fanz. Nonetheless, here is our Australian Open 2024 in review. 

It is just us; no special guests involved today. Give us a listen and let us know that you want to hear us more often!!!

Don't forget that the discussion can continue and you can tell us how you really feel!!! We're on Twitter @A_Gallivant (Andreen), @JLR78 (Janina) and @RealzTenisFanz (Realz)!! You can find this episode on YouTube, iTunes, Google, Spotify or wherever podcasts can be heard and downloaded

We are back with another episode of the podcast to discuss the US Open 2023. If we had any good sense, we should have recorded this episode on the Saturday after the women's final. However, with foolish hope and unwise optimism we waited until after the men's final thinking Meddy could produce some magic. We got Meddy mess instead. 

For this episode we invited Howard Bryant, ESPN Sports Journalist and favourite guest on the show. We do not pay him as he has a serious job that pays his bills. 

We spent far too much time on the men's final and the state of men's tennis before we got into the ladies and Coco's run to her maiden major win!!! Was this a good US Open? Where is the tour heading? What are we doing about climate change and this outdoor sport? 

We hope that you will enjoy this episode and share in the fun.

We are finally here at the end of the Australian Open 2022! I am not sure if this event really should have happened in the first place but no one is paying for my thoughts not even a penny. We wrapped up this uneventful extravaganza with with a local champ and a perennial one. Barty and Divadal!! 

We discuss the finals ... at least the ones we watched and discuss what it means to be at 21. 

PS DO SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGE GREAT, THOUGHTFUL AND ETHICAL JOURNALISM!!! Gawd only knows tennis never seems to inspire much of it. Nonetheless, I invite you to read a particular take on the matter, a often times regular guest of the podcast, Howard Bryant @hbryant42 https://www.espn.com/tennis/story/_/id/33050352/novak-djokovic-profile-selfishness-sports-leaders-failing-us-all

Look at us being very consistent for the beginning of the year! We are back with another exciting episode for the middle of the major report of the Australian Open 2022. Do we miss Novaxx? Have our draws survived? Matches that mattered? Who do we see getting to lift Norman and Dauphne trophies at the end? Also what about the fashion? And of course we get into a bit of hot topics with Peng Protest at the Open plus Novaxx is gonna sue? 

****I will provide the actual tracking later on but we start with the ladies for about 50 minutes, then the men for another 40 and then roll into the fashion, hot topics and speedily end off with who we see taking it all.****

Well we can officially begin to try and enjoy the Australian Open 2022 edition after much delay in the draws and order of play. We all know the reason for this, the absence of the world's male number 1 player, Novak Djokovic. So in honour of his untimely departure, we decided to turn our latest draw show into a Djoker celebration. We break down both the men and women's draws with notable Djokovic's vibes, moments, quality and stats. 

We start with the ladies of course and finish off with the men! Who are your picks? What does your draws look like for the Round of 16? Let us know in the comment sections and of course on Twitter!

Well welcome to our 8th season of RTF Podcast on the air. We didn't think we would be away so long nor expected to come back in 2022 on the wings of this mess. However, this is tennis, it so on brand.

It goes without saying that we are weighing in on this Novaxx Djoker mess regarding his vaccine status as well as his continued effort to do all he can to spread Covid-19 to the unsuspecting. We break down the entire scenario as we know so far, contextualizing it as only we can. 

We invited Pablo (@anBhanna) so please thank him for being a tremendous sport staying up so late AGAIN to be with us! We know how much yall love his BBC/Bridgerton dulcet tones.

The final major is upon us and we are back in the "studio" to bring you another live and hilarious take on the singles draws. We invited Pablo (@anBhanna) again who is over on the other side of the pond because we like to torture our guests. We were supposed to get into the draws on the theme of Broadway but the news and our own outings at tournaments lead for most of the discussion. Yes we did get into the Zverev angle and also touched on Naomi Osaka .... Yeah Nole is trying to do a thing here right? 

We finally got to the draws which turned out to be a hit musical after all!! 

As always we want to thank our guest Pablo for being a tremendous sport staying up so late to be with us!

So we are FINALLY at the end of the 2021 Wimbledon. We brought Pablo (@anBhanna) back to close this mess. Nole has achieved No. 20 and what does this even mean? Poor Matteo! Should we really allow these 3 dudes to keep winning majors? What of the women's final? Barty has a 2nd major and Pliskova still has none. We cover all this and other affairs in the world of tennis. 

Do note that Janina abandoned us midway through the podcast for soccer! Traditor!!
