Point by Point Tennis Podcast

On our second episode of 2023, we are bringing the audio from our video recording for YouTube! The YouTube link is here: https://youtu.be/RrSW5bkiUHI
We begin the show discussing the results from the Indian Wells Masters 1000 event, where Elena Rybakina won her first Masters 1000 in an Australian Open finals re-match against Aryna Sabalenka, and Carlos Alcaraz ended Daniil Medvedev's 19 game winning streak to win his 3rd Masters 1000 title in his short career and return to world #1.
We also preview the draw for the Masters 1000 event in Miami! We go quarter by quarter discussing the most notable match-ups, and we give our predictions from the quarterfinals onwards.
At the end of the show, we also do some Miami Open related Trivia! Listen to the end to see if you can get the right answer before our host Carlos does! And we also highlight are favorite social media post of the week, this time on reddit by the user u/TheSpadeWizard with a post showing the first win for Carlos Alcaraz on the Challenger Tour when he was 15 years old, facing a 17 year old Jannik Sinner!

This year, we are experimenting with a different format for recording our shows. Moving forward, most episodes will be recorded live or be pre-recorded and uploaded shortly after on YouTube and delivered to our Podcast feed the next day. Keep an eye out for our next YouTube live the week of April 3 - 9, when we will recap the biggest results from Miami and preview the draw for the ATP Masters 1000 event in Monte Carlo!
