Better to Be Lucky Than Good

Just a Mystery at This Point

AUSTIN’S NOTE: Justin and I recorded this episode before Jannik Sinner lost his 2nd round match to Juan Manuel Cerúndolo (undoubtedly one of the largest upsets in tennis history). But since the other guys we mention in the episode as “challengers” to Sinner are still alive in the tournament at the time of this episode’s publication, I thought it would be worth keeping that part of this episode as is and make the crucial distinction here. So when you’re listening to this episode, just remember the main mystery now is: “Who wins it all?” And thank you again to Justin for taking the time to appear on this episode!
