Live from the DC Open, the Most Fun Week in Tennis (with Ava)

We are live from the DC Open. The only tournament where you can record a podcast in the middle of the grounds and a player might pull up in the background.

Watch our first dispatch from the grounds: https://youtu.be/xbFo_LAHqkc?si=HlCS40XTU3EIjIfR  

Anastasia and Ava are on the grounds in Washington, credential mics on and with players walking by in the background. This one covers why DC's crowd is unlike anywhere else on tour, the case for combined events, Venus Williams one year after her comeback, Andy Murray showing up early to hit with Jack Draper, and the doubles story the tour would rather not talk about.
