United (States) Cup

The first week of the 2023 ATP Tennis Season is in the books, and so is the first weekly episode of Backhands & Compliments! In this one, Katie and Miranda recap everything that happened during the week, except Novak Djokovic winning a title. (What, like it's hard?) The US won a team tennis event, and we explained the unhinged edits we would make to the United Cup format. Also, we're not sure who watched more tennis this week, Andrey Rublev's dad or us. 
Come for the tennis recap. Stay for us using jelly beans as tarot cards. Which flavor predicts how we'll feel about Break Point? You'll have to listen to find out.
