Chanda Rubin on Her Best Tennis Memories PLUS Laver Cup and BJK Recap | Love All w/ Kim Clijsters

SPEAKER_1 (0:01)

Every gameday, you show up for your team. Now, it's your time.

SPEAKER_2 (0:11)

Ask your prescriber about We Go V, some Maglutide Injection 2.4 milligrams, a GLP-1. Call 1-833-4-WEGOV or visit wegov.com to view the Medication Guide and to learn more about We Go V.

Why wait?

SPEAKER_1 (0:30)

This football is back, so Hilton called on me, the superstition concierge, to make your fan rituals a reality. Need a room to match your lucky number? We Go V! Want to make sure our team doesn't wash your lucky jersey? Oh, that smells lucky.

Hilton's unmatched hospitality can keep up with any superstition. Even a marching band wake up call at 555 and 55 seconds. Hit it!

When you need a team that will do whatever it takes on game day, it matters where you stay. Hilton, for the stay.

Kim Clijsters (1:06)

Hi everyone, welcome back to Love All. I'm very excited that I have power.

It's been a hell of a few days here in New Jersey with the northeastern storm, but we're all good. Our house is okay. My parents-in-law's house, a big tree snapped off and they have some water damage in the basement. But overall, where we are, we're doing okay.

Blair Henley (1:34)

Truth be told, Kim, I wasn't sure we would be recording today. We're recording this on a Monday because Kim said, as I just texted Storm Wellness Jack, she said, the waves are coming down my street.

SPEAKER_5 (1:48)

It's like, well, I mean, I don't think we're going to have an episode this week, so I'm thrilled to be here with you.

Kim Clijsters (1:54)

The waves were really high and the sand was like all over the street and it was crazy. But yeah, I forgot when was that, Saturday or Friday? I don't even remember. What is time?

Blair Henley (2:06)

I'm barely coming out of my San Tropez haze.

Kim Clijsters (2:10)

It was, yeah, we're all doing good. Everything has dried up now and you just see the leftovers of the fallen trees and all that stuff. So we're good. Yeah, but I feel like we didn't have storms like that in Brie, Belgium, where I'm from. So I'm learning to what it's like living close to the ocean and dealing with the heavy winds and rainstorms and the effect that that has on the coastal lines and all that stuff. So but it's been, yeah, we've been playing board games and watching movies and I've been cooking and I'm enjoying having my kids here with me.

Blair Henley (2:45)

Love that. And from one beach to another, Kim, because I finished up in Saint Tropez on Sunday. What a week of tennis. I found myself wishing that you could have been in the room watching it with me because it was so bonkers again for the second week in a row. I will tell you guys, watch challenger tennis. And I'm using challenger as sort of a blanket term on the WTA side. Watch ITFs for sure because they're not called challengers on the WTA side. They should be because challengers is like such a good word to sum up that level of tennis. But we had vomit, there was cramping, there were bad line calls, there were arguments with the chair umpire. There was a player who didn't know the difference between a time violation warning and a code violation warning.

I mean, literally everything, incredible momentum swings.

Even in the final, actually, this is probably the closest Kim I've ever come to feeling like a fortune teller when in the final, Droguet is up a set and four love, double break and Mayo proceeds to rattle off five straight games.

SPEAKER_5 (3:56)

I've never seen anything like it. And then Droguet wins the next two to win the match.

Blair Henley (4:01)

I mean, there was no making sense of anything that we saw on the court and it was so delightful. I can't even tell you. So I'm thrilled to have enjoyed a week of Challenger Tennis.

Kim Clijsters (4:13)

How was the crowd there, Blair? Was there the stands?

Blair Henley (4:16)

It's so amazing, though, the contrast between coming from the US Open where everything is so loud and busy and crazy and coming in. And this is kind of like a sleepy beach town feel. And so even when there were fans in the stands and it was a great crowd for the final, all the French final in Saint Tropez, which was great. But there's no music on the changeovers. So you can hear a pin drop. So it's just such a contrast.

Having a silent changeover, I haven't experienced that personally, because if I'm working on court, it's always a produced court. That means we've got myself as the MC, we've got a DJ, we've got all the bells and whistles. And it really is tennis stripped down. And anyway, it's nice in a way, you know?
