ATP writer Grant Thompson joins the show as the clay season ramps up and the road to Roland Garros intensifies. Thompson recaps Holger Rune's thrilling title run in Barcelona, and what it means for the Danish player going forward. The journalist also discusses Carlos Alcaraz's health, and Alexander Zverev's victory in the Munich final over a very in-form Ben Shelton. And Thompson reacts to Jelena Ostapenko's shockingly good performance in Stuttgart, where she beat Aryna Sabalenka in the final while also improving to 6-0 against Iga Swiatek! Thompson then dives into The Madrid Open, and examines which players on the ATP and WTA are poised to far well with the altitude on these Spanish clay courts. He also discusses some sleepers who could emerge on the men's tour who could emerge in 2025, and what Jannik Sinner's return in Rome will mean for the game. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
Lucy and Eugene dissect Serena's Jannik Sinner comments in TIME magazine (2:50), salute Coco Gauff after her power player agency move (11:06) and discuss the possible outcomes as players demand more cash from the Grand Slams (13:39). And that is just the news. As far as action on the court, Billie Jean King Cup debutants Victoria Mboko and Hailey Baptiste both shine (21:38), Frances Tiafoe reaches his third final in Houston (26:09), Arthur Fils brings his strong hard-court form to the clay (32:00), Ben Shelton goes all the way to the championship match in Munich (40:40), Jasmine Paolini gets another statement win in Stuttgart (46:17).

What a fun week on tour! Holger Rune claims the title in Barcelona with some great wins along the way, eventually beating Alcaraz to lift the trophy and jump in the pool! Both tours were in Germany last week with Zverev winning the title in Munich over Ben Shelton, while Ostapenko improves to 6-0 against Iga Swiatek and then finishes her title run with impressive win over Sabalenka! I guess Aryna will have to buy her own Porsche now if she can't win one! Better luck next year!

"Serving Aces" with Alexandra Stevenson and co-host Hugues Laverdière discuss the Miami Open, the players, the surface, and the reason why some players can handle the "swampy" conditions and others can't - clearly by the top ten players that went out on both sides. Alexandra says Swiatek plays without joy. She mentions Andreeva having some looks of Martina Hingis - but she says no one has ever been able to match Hingis' hands. Alexandra says the budding superstar of tennis is Fonseca of Brazil. She says with 400,000 Brazilians living in Miami the match against de Minaur became Davis Cup raucous energy with the crowd erupting as they thought their player Fonseca could win. de Minaur from Australia kept his cool and managed to pull the win out in three sets. Ben Shelton hard launched his girl friend, Trinity Rodman, the soccer player.
Blake and Caroline predicted a Trinity Rodman and Ben Shelton hard launch, but Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump? Not on our bingo cards. Several couples made their relationships IG official this week, and there might be a potential power couple budding between JuJu Watkins and Jayden Daniels. That is, unless Jayden's mom can help it.

Former pro tennis player and current Tennis Channel commentator Bradley Klahn joins the podcast to recap the dramatic action at Indian Wells, where several players are stepping up and elevating their games. Klahn explains why Carlos Alcaraz remains his dominant self in Tennis Paradise, and why lefty power-servers Jack Draper and Ben Shelton might have the best chance of anyone in defeating the all-worldly Spaniard. The 2010 NCAA Singles Champ also reviews Daniil Medvedev's dominant performance in the fourth round, Holger Rune's ability to reign in his game, and Tallon Griekspoor's breakthrough at the start of the season. Klahn also dives into the women's draw, where Iga Swiatek continues to dismantle the field. The commentator discusses Mirra Andreeva's annihilation of Elena Rybakina, Belinda Bencic's incredible comeback season after becoming a mom, and what has propelled Madison Keys to sustained success at Indian Wells, in her first event back since winning the Australian Open. The action in the desert is reaching the final stages, and Bradley Klahn breaks it all down on The Inside-In Tennis Podcast. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Following that, we'll discuss Novak Djokovic's upset defeat to Botic Van De Zandschulp and Alexander Zverev's rough day against Tallon Griekspoor. But were those upsets more surprising/disappointing than Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev and Felix Auger-Aliassime?

Jimmy and Brett are back to recap an exciting two weeks down under at the 2025 Australian Open. Sinner continues to dominate the mens tour picking up his 3rd major in the last 12 months and backing up his AO victory in 2024. The Italian didn't drop a set from the QF's on and didn't face a break pt in the final against Zverev. American Madison Keys breaks through to win her first major, defeating the best players on tour to do so. Sasha Zverev has been playing some of the best tennis of his career the past year or so, and made another deep run in a major losing in straight sets to Sinner in the finals. What can the German do to improve and maybe someday win that elusive major that has eluded him so far in his career? Ben Shelton played some great tennis getting to the SF's in Melbourne, what can he do to get a little more consistent week in and week out this season?

This was one of those rare finals weekends where pretty much everything we hoped for came true. A perennial fave of fans and her own coworkers, the one-time prodigy Madison Keys showed remarkable maturity and grit to win her first major title. She let go of the “need” to win a Slam, and then managed to defeat #2 Iga Swiatek and the 2-time defending champ #1 Aryna Sabalenka back-to-back. Jannik Sinner defended his title without facing a break point in the final. Tennis keeps trying to make his opponent happen, alas to no avail. Plus, we got cracker women's doubles matchups, Novak HIPAA-violating himself, and Sakkari attending the inauguration instead of winning tennis matches. 1:25 GoFundMe update: Thank you!!! 6:05 Once a tween prodigy, then a best-never-to-win, now a Slam winner 12:05 Madison said therapy works … can't argue with that 27:50 After a diversion, a few more notes on the women's draw 33:40 The ceaseless pushing, literal and figurative 38:00 “Australia believes Olya and Brenda” 46:45 Ben Shelton v. the media 53:05 Women's doubles: SMASH on the girls 62:25 Call me OptaAce because I've got stats
On a special edition of Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross previews the 2025 Australian Open Men's Final. Top-seed Jannik Sinner attempts to win back-to-back titles in Melbourne and Alexander Zverev has earned a third attempt at an elusive Slam. We'll begin with some analysis of the 2nd semifinal, a straight set win by Sinner over Ben Shelton. Then we'll break down the 4-2 head-to-head advantage that Zverev holds over Sinner, keys for both players and a prediction. 00:00 Intro 00:50 Sinner d.

Ben and Tumaini are together after four singles semifinals are in the books, one of which was an epic and one of which was a short story. We start with the women, where Aryna Sabalenka played perhaps her best match of the tournament so far to beat Paula Badosa, booking a spot in the final against Madison Keys, who played perhaps the best match of her career to beat Iga Swiatek in the other semifinal. (Also, if you're interested solely in the women, FYI we circle back to talk more about Iga Swiatek at the very end of the show.) We then move onto the men, where Jannik Sinner was very solid against Ben Shelton, and Novak Djokovic stopped after just a set, putting Alexander Zverev into the final abruptly and drawing boos.
