Monroe also breaks down how Novak Djokovic was able to battle past Lorenzo Musetti in Athens, and the the 24-time major champion's subsequent decision to withdraw from the ATP Finals. The broadcaster looks at what makes Learner Tien so special after he won his first career title in Metz, and explains why this crop of American men continues to push each other to be better.

The former doubles pro looks at whether Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev or the rest of the field can challenge the top two, or if another Alcaraz/Sinner showdown is looming in the final match of the season.

It's a packed Monday on Nothing Major. The guys kick things off with the upcoming Battle of the Sexes in Dubai — plenty of curiosity (and a little doubt) about how seriously Kyrgios will take it. Djokovic's 101st career title takes center stage next, with the crew debating his decision to skip the year-end finals and what it means for the tour. There's also a shoutout to Learner Tien's title run in Metz and Venus Williams grabbing a wildcard into Auckland at 45 — still swinging. Then it's time for an ATP Finals breakdown, as we all agree one group is stronger than the other. On the WTA side, Elena Rybakina caps her season with record prize money and a clear message for 2026. To wrap things up, two teases you don't want to miss: Maldives Watch and the mission to help Danielle Collins find a husband. ----------------- 00:00 Intro 00:36 Battle of the Sexes: Sabalenka vs. Kyrgios 03:15 Novak Djokovic's Home Victory 09:35 Learner Tien's Breakthrough Year 14:19 Venus Williams' Wild Card Entry 14:52 Speculations on Player Participation 15:33 Breaking News: Sebastian Korda's Engagement 15:38 ATP Finals Overview 16:07 Shelton vs. Zverev Match Analysis 18:27 Alcaraz's Performance at ATP Finals 21:57 WTA Finals Recap 25:42 Upcoming Topics and Teasers 27:45 Goodbye!

WTA Finals delivered some entertaining matches – especially Amanda Anisimova vs Iga Swiatek – but it was Elena Rybakina who went unbeaten in Riyadh, seeing off world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final and collecting a $5.2m cheque.  The final unfortunately made the news for the wrong reasons after Rybakina refused to take a picture with WTA CEO Portia Archer during the trophy ceremony. We discuss. On the men's side, the ATP Finals field was confirmed in the 25th hour after Novak Djokovic made everybody wait. The 24-time Grand Slam champion announced his withdrawal shortly after beating Lorenzo Musetti in a dramatic Athens final. We have three black men competing at the year-end event which is a first for Black Spin Global. In singles, World No 6 Ben Shelton and world No 8 Félix Auger-Aliassime are in the Bjorn Borg alongside Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev. In doubles, debutant Evan King and partner Christian Harrison, the eighth-ranked pair in the race, are in the John McEnroe group. To close, we share our predictions for Turin.

In this episode, tennis journalist Steve Flink joins us to preview the 2025 ATP Finals. With Novak Djokovic's shock withdrawal, the race for the year-end title is wide open — but can Jannik Sinner continue his incredible form and dominate on home soil in Turin? We break down the ATP Finals draw, analyze the form of Carlos Alcaraz, Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, and Holger Rune, and discuss who poses the biggest threat to Sinner's title hopes. Plus, Steve shares his expert insights on the season's biggest storylines, the battle for No. 1, and what to expect from the next generation heading into 2026.

Former Top 10 player Greg Rusedski joins the podcast to preview the 2025 ATP Finals, as the game's very best head to Turin to battle for tennis supremacy. Rusedski discusses Novak Djokovic's form in Athens as the Serbian ponders whether he will play in Italy, and the analyst weighs whether Djokovic can have success in 2025 and beyond. The broadcaster also breaks down the battle for year-end No. 1 between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, and looks at how their rivalry has transcended tennis in 2025. Rusedski surveys the entire field in Turin, looking at where players like Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz and Alex De Minaur are compared to their peers. The broadcaster explains why Ben Shelton is at the top of his "prospect list" and weighs in on the race for the final spot in the field between Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss one of the wildest tournaments in the history of tennis. With the absence of Carlos Alcaraz, and Jannik Sinner dropping early with a cramping issue, the tournament seemed wide open. Djokovic eventually fell apart late in the tournament, which opened the door for one of the craziest Masters tournament finals in history. Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech, cousins that entered the tournament as unranked players, made the runs of their lifetime, defeating top opponents en route to a Cinderella story in the final. In winning, Vacherot became the lowest ranked player ever to win a Masters 1000 level tournament.Contents: WHAT JUST HAPPENED!? 0:00Records Broken 8:16Tournament Quality 9:25Tournament Storylines 13:48Who failed to capitalize? 20:10What's New 26:28Bet of the Week 29:57Match of the Week 32:19

Here are the stories they discussed… 00:00 Welcome back to Tennis Unfiltered 01:27 Your questions answered 23:43 Valentin Vacherot made history as the lowest ranked Masters champion ever, beating his own cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the Shanghai final having knocked out Novak Djokovic in the semi-final - and Rinderknech revealed afterwards that he had thought about quitting tennis only a few months before, but was helped through his rough patch by coach Lucas Pouille 40:28 For his own part, Djokovic was a surprise entrant in Shanghai and was pushed to his limit by Yannick Hanfmann, Jaume Munar and Zizou Bergs before Vacherot finished the job in the last four 51:15 Coco Gauff triumphed in Wuhan, a rare one-week Masters, but her run to the title hardly felt impressive given the players she beat, including 11 breaks of serve in two sets against Jasmine Paolini and then a more credible win against former doubles partner Jessica Pegula 58:51 Aryna Sabalenka had been unbeaten at the event since 2018 but she was downed by Pegula in the semi-finals, but not before the Belarusian had sewn up year-end world No 1 for the second time in a row 01:03:07 Jack Draper has appointed Jamie Delgado, a former coach of Andy Murray, to work with him ahead of the 2026 season - but long-time coach James Trotman is very much still involved, and simply wants to travel less on the main tour 01:04:46 Goncalo Oliveira, a Portuguese-born player who represents Venezuela, has been banned for four years after testing positive for methamphetamine last year. He claimed that a girl he met in a bar in Mexico, who did testify at the tribunal, had taken drugs that evening and contaminated him through kissing - but the director of the lab that tested the samples said that there was between “four and 36” times too much methamphetamine in his system to have been transferred by kissing 01:07:27 Under a trial scheme, the ITIA are offering up to $5k in costs to players who want to test supplements or medication at a Wada lab, or to investigate meds contamination.

On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross unpacks Valentin Vacherot's stunning run at the Rolex Shanghai Masters.

We'll discuss Vacherot's strength as a player, why Rinderknech almost won it with his forehand and how the match turned around.

Novak Djokovic continue d'écrire l'histoire du tennis… mais cette fois, sans véritable opposition. En atteignant les demi-finales d'un Masters 1000 sans avoir affronté le moindre joueur du top 40 mondial, le Serbe relance le débat sur le niveau actuel du circuit. Faut-il y voir la preuve de sa domination intacte, ou le signe inquiétant d'un affaiblissement général du tennis masculin ? Entre blessures, manque de constance chez les jeunes et hiérarchie en recomposition, cette situation interroge : le circuit ATP, sans Sinner et Alcaraz, est-il devenu trop faible pour un champion de la trempe de Djokovic ? Dans la 2e partie de Sans Filet, tops et flops sans oublier nos pronostics. Au menu à Sahnghai : Arthur Rinderknech vs Félix Auger-Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev vs Alex De Minaur et la première demi-finale entre Novak Djokovic et Valentin Vacherot. Du côté de Wuhan, Laura Siegmund affronte Coco Gauff tandis que Jasmine Paolini a rendez-vous avec Iga Swiatek.

Welcome back to EUVC Live in Malmö, where we bring you unfiltered conversations with the voices shaping Europe's venture ecosystem.In this session, Nick de la Forge, Partner at Planet A Ventures, takes the stage to share insights from an eye-opening field trip through China's climate and hardware startup ecosystem.Nick's story begins with a simple question: what if we're wrong about China's advantage? — and ends with a humbling realization of just how fast and how efficiently the world's largest manufacturing ecosystem now moves.Joined by fellow investors from 2150, Energy Impact Partners, and Compass, Nick toured factories, startups, and hyperscalers like CATL and BYD, witnessing firsthand what “scale” really looks like. The takeaway? Europe's biggest competitor isn't just cheaper — it's faster, leaner, and far more integrated.

The season isn't over yet! Shanghai is bringing the heat and Novak Djokovic is on track for a final showdown with Alex de Minaur.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the opening rounds of the Shanghai Masters 1000 event that is going on this week. With Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing from the tournament before it started, Jannik Sinner seemed to have an easy walk to the title. However, struggling with the conditions, the top seed was forced to retire, leaving a wide open draw. Other top players like Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz have also fallen, perhaps creating a chance for Novak Djokovic to pull off a cinderella run at 38 years old to take this Masters 1000 title. But other young talents are waiting in the wings, hoping for a chance to seize a masters 1000 title.Contents: Intro 0:00Sinner Injury Discussion 1:50Seeded Players Dropping 4:27Headline Results 5:45Zverev Comments/Backlash 10:35Upcoming Matches 15:37What's New 20:20Bet of the Week 26:37Match of the Week 29:50

The Hall of Famer Pam Shriver joins the podcast for a wide-ranging conversation about the pro tennis world, and why the women's game in particular is in such great shape going forward. Shriver assesses how Amanda Anisimova stormed to another Masters Title in Beijing, and explains why she's such a great representative for the game and mental health. The broadcaster dives into the brutal conditions in Shanghai, and compares Novak Djokovic finally getting the adulation from the crowd to that of Martina Navratilova as he fights on in Asia. Shriver goes in depth about several topics including Carlos Alcaraz showing wisdom in his schedule, Coco Gauff's working plan for her serve, and the race for the WTA's No. 1 ranking between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. The commentator also gives her opinions on the court speed debate and Gael Monfils' decision to retire at the end of next season, along with the announcement of the 2026 International Tennis Hall of Fame nominees, headlined by Roger Federer.
