Ever find yourself replaying a point in your head long after you've left the court, or debating string tension with a friend over a post-match drink? That's the spirit of Questionable Calls-The Tennis Lifestyle Podcast. Hosted by Seattle-based players David Leong, Rishi Tekriwal, and Adam Zhu-often joined by other friends from the tennis community-this conversation feels like hanging out in the clubhouse. The discussion ranges widely, from deep dives into ATP and WTA tournament drama to the very relatable minutiae of recreational play: that unforgettable match you still analyze, the eternal search for perfect gear, obscure trivia, and tactical debates for the weekend warrior. At its heart, this podcast is grounded in the everyday experience of loving the sport, acknowledging that not every take will be a crowd-pleaser. You're just as likely to hear a passionate defense of a particular racket as you are a heated discussion about a controversial line call from a local league match. It’s for anyone who lives and breathes tennis beyond the grand slams, where the lifestyle is just as important as the score. Tune in for authentic, often humorous, and always passionate conversations that capture why, for so many, tennis truly is life.
