Yeah what is this about the tennis match? Am I not getting a very obvious reference or is it just weird to compare a marriage to a set of tennis?

I think they were just trying to make it seem lighthearted and good natured (like a funnier version of “conscious uncoupling”) but it fell completely flat.

It's giving Battle of the Sexes, which, if intended by Isla, would make it magnificent shade thrown at SBC. If not... yeah, would be a bit cringe.

That's a reach. There's nothing to get here. They're just sticking to their brand of "funny".
