On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross runs through storylines and matches from week 1 at Indian Wells 2025. We'll start with a follow up on conditions since the organizers changed the court. Following that, we'll discuss Novak Djokovic's upset defeat to Botic Van De Zandschulp and Alexander Zverev's rough day against Tallon Griekspoor. But were those upsets more surprising/disappointing than Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev and Felix Auger-Aliassime? We'll end on Nick Kyrgios's opening round retirement due to wrist pain and the social media trend of showing large doubles crowds on the ground before diving into "Tales From The Booth." On Tales, we get to Yosuke Watanuki, Learner Tien, Arthur Fils, Garbiel Diallo, Ben Shelton, Gael Monfils and Sebastien Korda, plus Jack Draper vs. Joao Fonseca.

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
