• This week’s guest: Casper Ruud, schedule willing.
• Icky self-promotion: the cover to my next book, Glory Days: The Summer of 1984 and the 90 Days That Changed Sports and Culture Forever. Thoughts welcome. The book drops in June. More about this project in the months ahead. If you'd like to preorder a copy, click here.
• Conflict disclosed, a tip of the fedora to Tennis Channel. Last week the network covered five events from four continents, at one point delivering more than 72 straight hours of live coverage.
