It's two shows in one today as we share our March tennis diary with one of our very favorite tennis writers, David Kane. David helps us recount a wild tennis scene in March that began with a fantastic Indian Wells event and also brought us very important fan-favorite tennis news, like the announcement of Alizé Cornet on "The Traitors," and brand new merch from Danielle Collins. It's a tennis pop-culture bonanza to start out the show today. We then shift gears to the end of March, with the rollercoaster that was the Miami Open.
