On this week's episode, host Jon Wertheim talks with author Sameer Pandya about his forthcoming book, Members Only, which explores the complicated space between black and white America through the character Raj Bhatt and his experiences at a posh tennis club. Wertheim and Pandya discuss the role tennis plays in the humorous, fictional book, how the story can help us think about larger issues in today's world like racism and prejudice, tennis writing as a whole and much more. Also, Wertheim and Jamie Lisanti discuss the 2020 U.S. Open and the questions surrounding the decision to hold the tournament in late August in New York.
