The Tennis Tragic #050 / Curses Are Real / Are curses real? Can a curse truly affect the course of our lives? What form does a curse take at the “Cyber Slam” (aka Australian Open 2023)? How might curses manifest at the highest levels of sport? What does a curse sound like? What do the sounds of professional tennis sound like? What curses might we wish to see in the future?
Answers to all of these questions may or may not be found in The Tennis Tragic’s 50th Golden Anniversary Episode, along with discussions on the following: labor theory, Shakespeare, Jelena Ostapenko’s anti-style, ghosts going down waterslides, the aesthetics of quiet, presence, habitus, punk rock, Netflix, cheering on double-faults, and sex.
