Might be an unpopular opinion, but Ted Lasso season 2 is better than season 1. The characters felt a lot more human, went through more ups & downs, you saw their flaws, you empathized with them more & the development was a lot more multi-layered. Season 1 was a honeymoon. Season 2 was real marriage.

Was an absolute pleasure covering the Miami Open and I felt very fortunate to analyze the tennis so up close and personal
It was pretty cool to be able to pick the brains of so many top players on both tours.
Looking back I got to ask questions to so many of them
Here’s the whole list:)
