Nepal has recently delivered impressive tennis performances, highlighted by a strong showing in the Davis Cup last November. However, players have expressed frustration regarding the government's and other stakeholders' lack of recognition. Nepal correspondent Prayas Dulal spoke with one such Nepali tennis player, Pradip Khadka. - पछिल्लो समय टेनिसमा नेपालले राम्रो प्रदर्शन गर्दै आएको छ। त्यसको उदाहरण नेपालले नोभेम्बरमा भएको डेभिस कपमा गरेको प्रदर्शन हो। यस्तो महत्त्वपूर्ण प्रतियोगितामा राम्रो प्रदर्शन गरेर फर्कँदा पनि सरकार र अन्य सरोकारवाला निकायहरूबाट स्याबासी समेत नपाएको खेलाडीहरूले गुनासो गरेका छन्। यसै सन्दर्भमा नेपाल संवाददाता प्रयास दुलालले उक्त प्रतियोगितामा नेपालको प्रतिनिधित्व गरेका खेलाडी प्रदीप खड्कासँग गरेको कुराकानी सुन्नुहोस्।

And, of course, we settle the age-old debate: Who's the hottest guy on tour? Tommy Paul? Berrettini (but only in pants)? We're making it official with an 8-man knockout draw to let the people decide!Also, Steve and Sam finally face off in the most anticipated pickleball showdown of the year. Spoiler: One of them nearly dies. Oh, and speaking of near-death experiences—turns out Sam is not the guy you want dog-sitting. Just ask John's (miraculously still alive) pup. Hosted on Acast.

Rasheed dives into his quick rise as a tennis player that included qualifying for the Australian Open main draw at age 16! The coach of several top 10 players explains why Lleyton Hewitt had an unmatched drive, and shares few stories coaching Gael Monfils, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and Grigor Dimitrov.

Your support keeps us going no matter how large or small is hugely appreciated, from listening to donating we couldn't be more thankful to our audience!Now that the Australian Open is over it's back to the tour and this week the main focus is the dramatic Davis Cup Qualifiers 1st Round which saw upset and drama pan out across the globe. The main focus was one particular incident between Belgium and Chile that quite literally left Christian Garin floored when Zizou Bergs charged at him and collided at a change of ends. On the ATP tour it was Felix Auger-Aliassime who came out on top after choosing to play the Open Occitanie instead of Davis Cup just for Canada. He won his 7th title in Montpelier and has now almost reversed his 0-8 record in finals and has gone 7-2 since 2022. Elsewhere on the WTA tour there was a maiden 500 victory for Ekaterina Alexandrova who defeated former Australian Open semi-finalist Dayana Yastremska in a hard fought final. Alexandrova even bageled Karolina Muchova on her way to the title. Joel and Chris also answer a mailbag involving Australian Open winner Madison Keys being removed from the entry list of the Austin Open due to a technicality and whether the WTA should be doing more to build the profile of 250s rather than just removing their star players that would mean bums on seats and money in the bank for the smaller tournaments.SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com.MERCHPurchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

This week on NML, we highlight an amazing run in Montpellier from Aleksandar Kovacevic showing that the one-hander is still alive and well! Felix AA quietly took the title over Kovacevic. The Net Cord of the week came from down under where two Aussie brothers have two fictional characters listed as their coaches on the ATP website. The Davis Cup took place, but the focus was more on the drama than the tennis. Seyboth Wild and Fils had plenty of drama and Zizou Bergs vs. Christian Garin had a collision at the end of the match leading to some spicy press conferences and bruised face pics.

We never knew how much we'd miss “hola a todos” until it turned into an adiós. Rafael Nadal Parera ended his tennis career at this year's Davis Cup, leaving with with 22 major singles titles, a Career Golden Slam, every clay record you can think of, and a litany of quotable moments. We've been Rafa fans since the early days, when they said he was a dirtballer whose body would force him into retirement in his 30s. But it turned out Rafa was nothing if not adaptable -- a rational thinker whose love for the game made him a global superstar and helped build two of the sport's most enduring rivalries.
