Summary: <br> <br> Olympic tennis produced one of its most stunning results with Monica Puig winning gold, and so <a href="http://twitter.com/benrothenberg">Ben </a> nd <a href="http://twitter.com/fortydeucetwits">Courtney</a> are here to break that down, as well as all the other medals and losers in Rio. What does Monica's win show us about Olympic tennis, and what does it mean for her going forward? How delightful were the silver efforts of Juan Martin del Potro and Venus Williams? And why weren't many of the other results surprising? Also, is it fair to call Jack Sock a "doubles specialist"?<br> <br> <br> <br> To tee up this week's tournament in Cincinnati, we chat with local sports reporter <a href="http://twitter.com/slrussell">Shannon Russell</a>, who has covered the tennis here for the Cincinnati Enquirer, and sheds light on what it's like being a one-week-a-year tennis reporter serving a tournament's local market.<br> <br> <br> <br> Then in a wide-ranging rant extravaganza, Courtney talks about journalism (after <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq2_wSsDwkQ">John Oliver did</a>) and Ben talks about plaques (but really Pokemon again).<br> <br> <br> <br> And as always, thanks for liking us <a href="http://facebook.com/ncrpodcast">on Facebook</a> (leave comments on the episode thread!), following us <a href="http://twitter.com/ncr_tennis">on Twitter</a> (discuss this episode with hashtag #NCR163!), and subscribing/reviewin<a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/no-challenges-remaining/id583552127">g</a> on iTunes or whatever your podcasting app/platform of choice may be.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br>
