YARIS is a new force emerging from Belfast's supercharged local club circuit. As an ever-curious and adventurous selector and promoter, her mission is simple, to inject fun back into every space she steps into. Still fresh to DJing, YARIS brings a burst of raw, untamed energy to her sets. Unconcerned with rules, restrictions, or trends that often shape the scene, she thrives on instinct, that pure, early-stage spark that can't be taught. Despite her recent arrival, she's already left her mark across some of Belfast's most treasured venues and festivals, including Emerge Festival, Thompsons, Titanic Distillers, The Barge, Marcus Ward, Banana Block, and Ulster Sports Club. Beyond DJing, YARIS is the founder of Music Is Nonverbal, a project designed to help neurodivergent and socially anxious individuals connect, express, and heal through the universal language of music. It's an inspiring initiative, one that deserves far more recognition across Ireland. YARIS's Local Selection is a tribute to the fun-loving, spontaneous spirit that defines her approach. High-energy and fast-paced, it's filled with lush dubby chords, gnarly driving rhythms, and springy, shuffled techno tools. Rather than focusing on tension or intensity, it celebrates the playful, party-driven side of techno, almost leaning into a house sensibility. It does exactly what it says on the tin: pure,unadulterated fun. YARIS ----------- SC: @user-494873326 IG: www.instagram.com/yarisreynolds Four Four Magazine

While Esperanza and Irwin both share their personal connections to the Art Barge, this extraordinary story speaks for itself. While Victor and Mabel's lives were devoted to Art, they couldn't have been more different.

But it's their arrival to remote Lazy Point, Amagansett in the 1940's, and tugging a decommissioned naval vessel from Jersey City to the shores of Napeague Bay remains a source of wonder to this day.

Catherine, David and Matt were live in New York to look back on the opening day of the US Open Mixed Doubles and the closing stages of Cincinnati. We start by discussing the Mixed Doubles - what worked, what didn't, how did our feelings about the event evolve, and which teams really stood out? Moving onto Cincinnati, has Iga Swiatek made herself the US Open favourite after her title there? We discuss her victory over Jasmine Paolini in the final, the confidence she's playing with after Wimbledon, and the way she's turned her head-to-head with Elena Rybakina around. There's also chat about where Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are at heading into New York. On the men's side, how much did we actually learn after Jannik Sinner was forced to retire against Carlos Alcaraz in the Cincinnati final? Finally, we cover the shocking prize money discrepancy that still exists in Cincinnati, a couple of US Open talking points, and the retirement of Kyle Edmund.

For this episode, Catherine and Matt speak to Giri Nathan, author of a new book called ‘Changeover', all about the rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. We talk about how their epic match at the 2022 US Open gave Giri the idea for the book, what separates these two from other players in the post Big 3 era, and how Giri went about capturing all the key moments from the 2024 season for the book. Giri tells the story of his airport encounter with Sinner on the day that Sinner's doping violation became public, we compare Sinner's steady rise with Alcaraz's prodigious results, and there's consideration of Novak Djokovic's role in their young rivalry. Finally, we end with some thoughts about the US Open, and a quick fire round of questions about what the future might hold for these two players and this rivalry. Changeover is out in the US on Tuesday 19th August and in the UK on Thursday 11th September. Tickets are now on General Sale for The Tennis Podcast - Live in Wrexham on Wednesday October 22nd!

Catherine, David and Matt are back to talk about the opening stages of Cincinnati which has seen brutal temperatures, a power outage, and plenty of compelling tennis too. Part one - ATP Results. We start by taking stock of the careers of Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud after their struggles continued. There's also Lorenzo Musetti's poor form on hard courts, both Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz immediately going out to practise after their latest victories, another tricky week for Joao Fonseca, and a surprise defeat for Alex de Minaur. Part two - WTA Results (45m45s). The match of the tournament so far was Aryna Sabalenka's three hour victory over Emma Raducanu. We discuss Sabalenka's phenomenal tiebreak record, really encouraging signs for Raducanu, and our impressions of the early glimpses of her coaching partnership with Francisco Roig. There's also Madison Keys saving match points to win yet again and Amanda Anisimova losing to Anna Kalinskaya. Part three - Details of our live show in Wrexham on Wednesday 22nd October!

David is back from holiday to join Catherine and Matt in discussing week one of the Canadian Open, where lots of the big names are out, there has been loads of good matches, and both draws feel pretty open heading into the final few days. Part one - WTA Montreal. We cover Victoria Mboko's special run to the quarter-finals, Coco Gauff's recurring double fault issues, Naomi Osaka's resurgence under new coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, compelling matches involving Madison Keys, Elena Rybakina and Marta Kostyuk, the unorthodox game of Aoi Ito, and the decision to give Eugenie Bouchard a wildcard so she could retire. Part two - ATP Toronto (from 49m). How much meaning can we take from a tournament without Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic? That's the task when assessing the men's event, which has seen Alexei Popyrin mount an impressive title defence so far, Daniil Medvedev continue to slump, and compelling final set tiebreak wins for Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton. There was also a strange complaint from Alejandro Davidovich Fokina leading to sweet spot social media aggro involving Dan Evans. Part three - US Open news (from 70m15s). With most of the US Open mixed doubles pairings having been announced, we quiz David on his views, and he throws a fun name into the ring for one of the remaining wildcards. There's also the launch of the US Open's matchmaker show to discuss. Tickets are on sale now for the Tennis History Conference at Wimbledon on Tuesday 9th December.

Catherine and Matt are joined by The Athletic's Matt Futterman to discuss an eventful week in Washington and a whole lot of tennis news. Part one - Washington Review. We start by covering an incredible performance from Venus Williams to beat Peyton Stearns and why her wildcard this time felt like a perfect one. Leylah Fernandez's impressive title run, and where it fits into the narrative of her career, is also covered, as well as Alex de Minaur's extraordinary victory over poor Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the final. Will ADF ever get a title? Part two - News (from 42m20s). We debate Jannik Sinner's decision to re-hire Umberto Ferrara, and discuss where things went wrong for the Stefanos Tsitsipas-Goran Ivanisevic and Naomi Osaka-Patrick Mouratoglou coaching partnerships. We also give our takes on more US Open mixed doubles pairings being announced, Bill Ackman receiving a wildcard to play in Newport, and Tara Moore's four year doping ban. Part three - Canada Preview (from 82m25s). How are our excitement levels as the women head to Montreal and the men to Toronto? Become a Friend of The Tennis PodcastCheck out our ⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠!

On the final day of Wimbledon 2025, Jannik Sinner became the first Italian to win the singles tournament, and Catherine, David and Matt were live afterwards to react to his four set defeat of Carlos Alcaraz.In part one we talk over the manner of this win and how Sinner put paid to any suggestion of scar tissue from Paris with a focused and intelligent performance. We discuss Alcaraz's unmatchable brilliance at the end of the first set, and how Sinner's resilience allowed him to stay on task, break at the start of a second, and win clinically in four sets. There's speculation about what might happen next, with the incredible prospect of Sinner, Alcaraz - and Iga Swiatek - all heading into 2026 with the potential to complete a career slam before the age of 25. Will this rivalry between the two of them continue as a duopoly? Or is there a third player yet to emerge from their wake and challenge at the top?In part two (43m34s) we round up the other results from the day at Wimbledon, including a tense battle between Alfie Hewett and Tokito Oda for the men's wheelchair singles crown, and a thrilling women's doubles won by Mertens and Kudermetova over Hsieh and Ostapenko.Thus ends Wimbledon 2025! In part three (49m44s) we finish with a look back at our favourite memories from the past fortnight, and thanks to all those who have contributed to the making of our shows from the Championships.Become a Friend of The Tennis PodcastCheck out our ⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠!

Catherine, David and Matt were live from Wimbledon on Day 12 as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner set up a mouthwatering final, while Novak Djokovic looked his age.In part one we focus on Djokovic and digesting his press conference after his one-sided loss to Sinner. We speculate about what Djokovic's future may look like now injuries are affecting him and he can't keep up with Sinner and Alcaraz.In part two (20m54s) we cover Alcaraz's four set win over Taylor Fritz, another strong serving performance, and whether we actually like it when he plays this way. There's also plenty of chat about Fritz, his impressive attitude and consistency in this match and in this tournament, and whether he can one day win a grand slam title. Finally, we can't help ourselves and we start previewing Alcaraz vs Sinner on Sunday.In part three (43m16s) we look ahead to tomorrow's women's final between Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova.
