In light of Bjorn Borg's new book, we look back at cocaine in professional tennis. Players who used, players who denied it, and some who danced around the issue (like they used to do at Studio 54?). This week, we bring you The Cocaine Episode

We talk the best and the worst from the US Open. Pretty sure you can guess the worst. Plus, more listener tennis takes!
The US Open is always bonkers, and this year it really delivered the goods: a hat stealer, some sore losers, an unwelcome surprise visitor, plus some good things happened! #USOpen podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...
