Laver Cup: Bromances, Bad Hair & Andre Agassi Roasting Zverev

Theo and Andrea have recovered from their post-Slam blues just in time for the Laver Cup, and after spending the final day courtside in London, there is a lot to discuss.

They get into why the tournament feels more like a school trip for tennis players, whether it can ever reach Ryder Cup levels of rivalry, the questionable Team Europe photoshoot and, naturally, the current state of Zverev’s hair. Plus, Theo and Andrea accidentally make it onto the Laver Cup broadcast, Learner Tien gains two new fans and the girls attempt to make sense of the increasingly confusing Asian Swing.
