The Players' Lounge (Tennis Podcast)

It might take us a while to get over Roger Federer’s retirement and Rafa Nadal’s tears after the Swiss Maestro’s last official tennis match. But instead of plunging into despair, let’s be grateful for the 24 years of highlights that will live on forever on YouTube and the unreal emotions we got from Roger.
