52: Monte Carlo Memories, Trivia Showdown & Opelka Takes the Hot Seat | EP 52

The crew heads to the iconic clay courts of Monte Carlo, swapping stories of fast cars and what makes the tournament feel like a blend between a Grand Slam and a luxury getaway. From Sam’s quarterfinal run to unexpected off-court adventures, they unpack the beauty, chaos, and quirks of one of tennis’s most picturesque—and unpredictable—events. Things heat up with a Monte Carlo Trivia, as the guys team up in a desperate attempt to cover up just how little they actually know about the tournament’s history. From wild guesses to accidental brilliance, it’s a hilarious ride through Rafa stats, surprise American finalists, and a few facts that might have been made up on the spot. The episode wraps with the Part 2 of Reilly Opelka interview. The NextGen Servebot reflects on injury recovery, court fashion, and shares his controversial take on doubles—before stepping into the Hot Seat for a round of rapid-fire questions.
