With a quarter of 2017 now complete, Ben and Courtney try to make sense of it all. But does it make sense, really?
Daria Kasatkina won Charleston in an all-teen final, which should be a big result. But what are results anyhow, when every player seems to have a roughly equal share of success and failure these days? Which characters and plotlines are really relevant? Does TV have the answers?
The men's side is a completely different coin, because one beloved old dude (Roger Federer) has stepped up to fill the void. But just what is that void without Federer being there as a shiny glaze on top of an otherwise questionable confection?
Lastly, we make predictions for the French Open, an amusingly hopeless endeavor.
