Tennis Media, Explained: Who Owns the Sport (with Chris Eubanks)

Why does the same tournament charge different ticket prices for the men's and women's draws? Why can you bet on a match you're not allowed to stream? And do you really need seven subscriptions to follow the sport? Chris Eubanks joins Anastasia to decode the tennis media maze from the ground up, no jargon required. We map the six organizations that run tennis, sort out which channels and app actually matter, and look ahead to what the sport could look like by 2031. It's a logistics episode that turns into a confidence builder. By the end, the messiness stops feeling like a wall and starts feeling like a door you already know how to open.
