Created and hosted by writers Patrick Sauer and David J. Roth, Squawkin’ Sports is an ongoing series featuring book chats with authors who write about playing games. This month, Sauer and Roth chat with comic and Emmy-Award winning host of The Daily Show Michael Kosta, author of Lucky Loser: Adventures in Tennis and Comedy, and prize-winning tennis journalist and senior correspondent at Giri Nathan, author of Changeover: A Young Rivalry and a New Era of Men's Tennis.A wildly funny and insightful memoir, Lucky Loser follows Michael Kosta's unlikely journey from professional tennis player (#864 in the world) to professional comedian (there’s no ranking system in comedy but he’s probably . . . top 50?). From misadventures through the backwaters of professional tennis to the humbling setbacks of comedy, Lucky Loser is a heart-filled story of making your own luck, the universal experience of failure, and the many ways in which we all inevitably lose on the way to success.A Bloomberg 10 Best Books of Summer 2025, Changeover tells the story of the epic rivalry of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, as told by Giri Nathan, called "the best tennis writer in America" (Brian Phillips, The Ringer). Punctuated with humor, brimming with insight, and rooted in a true fan’s love of the game, this work of elevated sports journalism is a captivating primer to the rivalry poised to define the next decade of the sport.
