We're halfway through the Italian Open in Rome, and there's been no shortage of drama in the final clay Masters event in the build up to the French Open in Paris. Joel and Chris are on hand at Tennis Weekly HQ to talk all about the return of the World Number 1 Jannik Sinner from suspension including the player and fan reaction. Carlos Alcaraz is also back, if a little under the radar after missing Madrid, but has got the pair pondering could we be in for another Sinner-Alcaraz ding dong? And if not, when?On the WTA side, It's been another bumpy ride though on the clay for Iga Swiatek who suffered a early loss to Danielle Collins which put the chance of defending her Roland Garros title further into doubt whilst Coco Gauff proved why she could be the biggest threat to Aryna Sabalenka in Paris with a classy win over Emma Raducanu to make the quarterfinals.Outside of Rome, Novak Djokovic grabbed headlines with a wildcard entry into Geneva whilst his PTPA player union scored a legal win over the ATP. Plus, the Billie Jean King Cup Finals draw in Shenzhen is out as Great Britain were handed Japan - but who will be the British Number 1 leading the charge when September rolls around? We also break down what we're looking forward as Week 2 in Rome gets underway and Joel is in the hot seat with nowhere to run in a solo edition of Par for The Courts.Roland-Garros Hospitality with Sports, Travel and Hospitality GroupTo guarantee the best seats in the house with ticket-inclusive official hospitality, visit https://bit.ly/4j6RYBzSOCIALSFollow 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.

A dramatic Monday in Madrid as a power outage across Spain and Portugal cancelled play for the day at the Madrid Open. Join Joel, Kim and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they look back on all the events of the first week where Novak Djokovic lost for the third time in a row leaving us to question (for the umpteenth time) whether he is a serious prospect for another Grand Slam title with the French Open looming. It was also a similar story for defending champion Andrey Rublev who left Madrid with a 1-4 Masters record this year, falling out of the Top 15 for the first time since 2020.It was not all doom and gloom though as Maria Sakkari returned to form of old with a demolition job over Jasmine Paolini whilst Coco Gauff put Sunshine Swing disappointment behind her to set up a tantalising quarterfinal against teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva. The Brits also enjoyed a solid first week with Draper, Fearnley, Norrie all into R3 and Katie Boulter winning her first clay match on the WTA Tour. Emma Raducanu also revealed there is an 'informal agreement' in place with Mark Petchey on her team. And though Carlos Alcaraz wasn't in Madrid due to injury, his new docuseries Carlos Alcaraz: My Way launched on Netflix with the gang discussing what they learned about Carlitos (other than his mum being a really good cook). Joel's Game also makes a return and we question what should be done about Electronic Line Calling in this week's Mailbag as Alexander Zverev follows Aryna Sabalenka and take a photo of a dubious mark on the tennis court during his match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.Roland-Garros Hospitality with Sports, Travel and Hospitality GroupTo guarantee the best seats in the house with ticket-inclusive official hospitality, visit https://bit.ly/4j6RYBzSOCIALSFollow 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.

Anastasia and Nick are back with a full episode, and it's a packed one!They kick off with a spoiler-free discussion of the new Carlos Alcaraz documentary on Netflix, sharing thoughts on Carlos' mindset, why it's refreshing to see athletes prioritize happiness, and a few can't-miss moments (including a sweet encounter with Roger Federer!).Then it's onto the latest tennis news:The chaos unfolding at the Madrid Open

Hey everyone, Faizan here! Here is my preview and prediction for the match between Emma Raducanu and Marta Kostyuk at the 2025 Madrid Open.This is an opinion only video!

What do Rory McIlroy and Carlos Alcaraz have in common? Both know what it feels like to carry expectation on the biggest stage — and both delivered. - Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim break down the biggest storylines this week: - How did Rory McIlroy finally conquer The Masters pressure? - What makes Carlos Alcaraz so good on clay — and can he keep it going? - Should Masters 1000 events stay one-week long — or stretch to two? - Is Emma Raducanu making the right call with Mark Petchey? - Could Roger Federer return to the court in exhibitions? - Should tennis add more grass-court Masters events? - Would you give up your phone at a live sporting event for a better experience? Plus, Lindsay Davenport leads Team USA to a BJK Cup win — and Andy shares his thoughts on how expectation shapes every athlete's career.

With Matt away, Catherine and David go old school to make sense of Monte Carlo.Part one - Monte Carlo. Carlos Alcaraz won the title, but did it feel convincing? Not really. Why, and what next? Big weeks for Lorenzo Musetti, Arthur Fils and Alejandro Davidovic Fokina. Loads to get our teeth into.Part two - BJK Cup Qualifiers (from 46m). The names were mostly not of the household variety, but the stories were electric.Part three - Coaching Carousel (from 55m).

Monte Carlo(s) Masters! Chris is back from Mallorca to join Joel and Kim to reflect on the past week in tennis, which saw Carlos Alcaraz claim his maiden Monte Carlo Masters Title on the ATP Tour against Italian Lorenzo Musetti. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic had a horrible week on the French Riviera with early defeat to his clay nemesis Alejandro Tabilo as did Grigor Dimitrov who suffered a double bagel loss at the hands of Alex de Minaur and his short shorts. Whilst it was an off week for many of the top players like Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka on the WTA Tour, an Emma Raducanu-less Great Britain side made their way through to the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen joining the likes of USA, Spain and defending champions Italy.The trio also discuss the latest coaching changes, as former World number 1 Dinara Safina joins Diana Schnaider's team, Emma Raducanu considers Mark Petchey as her latest coaching option and there's rumour of Goran Ivanesevic joining the Stefanos Tsitsipas camp. There is also news that a certain Mr. Roger Federer is itching for a return to an exhibition tennis court which has got Joel wildly excited at the prospect of a Battle of the Surfaces 2 event against Rafael Nadal (one can dream right?). They also test their knowledge of recent WTA 1000 winners, make some daring clay court predictions and preview Stuttgart, Munich and Barcelona all taking place this week.Roland-Garros Hospitality with Sports, Travel and Hospitality GroupTo guarantee the best seats in the house with ticket-inclusive official hospitality, visit https://bit.ly/4j6RYBzSOCIALSFollow 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.

In this episode of Tennis Unfiltered, James Gray, George Bellshaw, and Calvin Betton discuss everything that has been going on in the world of tennis and more from coaching techniques and the Wimbledon dress code to scheduling and the recent Miami Open. Jakub Mensik defeated Novak Djokovic, even though the Czech teenager almost withdrew from the tournament before his first-round match. Djokovic did not appear to be 100 per cent with a swelling under his right eye and trouble moving behind the baseline, but said Mensik deserved the win. In the women's final, Aryna Sabalenka snapped her run of two straight defeats in finals (AO, IW) by beating Jessica Pegula to claim her first Miami title: she has now won three of the last four top-level American hard-court events, cementing her place as runaway world No 1. Still somehow No 2, Iga Swiatek's challenges and mental resilience have been in the spotlight, targeted by an abusive member of the public in practice and then shocked by breakout star Alex Eala. It was also a good week for Emma Raducanu and her temp coach Mark Petchey, a bad one for Alexander Zverev and a decent one for French tennis... PLUS: Ongoing developments from the PTPA legal case and a new coach for Andrey Rublev that Calvin doesn't like Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In "Serving Aces" Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdière discuss the rise of Emma Raducanu and the new young talent who made themselves known during the Miami Open.  Eala, Fonseca, and Mensik. Alexandra and Ougi talk about Sabalenka winning, the doubles, and Djokovic in the finals - though he lost to Mensik, it was a good tournament for him according to Alexandra.  He paced himself - and really used Andy Murray for coaching advice.  Alexandra explains the PTPA lawsuit as the classic antitrust that is going against the WTA and the ATP - as well as the 4 Grand Slams.  Alexandra discusses March Madness and her "chalk" choices in Duke, Auburn, Florida, and Houston.  Alexandra and Ougi pick Duke to win it all.  For the women, she notes that South Carolina beat Duke and UCLA pulled it out against LSU.  Two more tomorrow.  Alexandra is pulling for UCLA. Ougi is going for South Carolina.

With Miami reaching its climax, Catherine, David and Matt catch up to discuss scheduling issues, more struggles for top players, and what might happen over the weekend. Part one - WTA Results. We start with a rant about the scheduling before moving on to happier things and Alex Eala's incredible run to the semi-finals. The flip side of that, however, is digesting a shocking performance from Iga Swiatek. What can we expect from her clay court season as her title drought continues? There's also chat about an encouraging tournament for Emma Raducanu as well as Aryna Sabalenka, Jessica Pegula and Jasmine Paolini discovering some of their best form. Part two - ATP Results (from 38m57s). We hail Grigor Dimitrov's incredible effort to beat Francisco Cerundolo and reach the semi-finals, revel in a couple of wonderful wins for Arthur Fils, and wonder if Alexander Zverev is currently playing worse than any world number two ever. Part three (from 61m57s). Any other business including the one year anniversary of The Barge, our next edition of Tennis Re-Lived, and shout outs.

Ben and Tumaini reconvene to try to make sense of the big lawsuit filed by the PTPA and a group of lesser-known players against the powers-that-be in tennis, what we make of the organization, and this big swing they're taking after years of not being recognized. What do we make of the PTPA's 163-page laundry list of claims? What points resonate and which don't? And is there an inconsistency between their purported purpose for players and the arguments they're making? (You can also read Ben's interview with PTPA executive director Ahmad Nassar.) After spending the first 40 minutes on that, we discuss other topics that have emerged in the past week or so, including Novak Djokovic's image being frequently used by right-wing politicians, the current ATP inconsistency, Emma Raducanu's struggles and resurgence, and Naomi Osaka's trajectory. We end with a melancholy happy trails to author John Feinstein, and lots of love for NCR's dear Courtney.  Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Tumaini's work at The Guardian! 

Leif Shiras joins the podcast to recap all the unpredictable results at the Miami Open, where the men's draw was filled with upsets. Shiras discusses Carlos Alcaraz & Daniil Medvedev's early exits, the opportunity for Novak Djokovic, and whether Alex Zverev or Taylor Fritz can make their move on the hard courts. The Tennis Channel broadcaster also analyzes into the next wave of potential superstars, which include Arthur Fils, Jakub Mensik and Joao Fonseca, who are all putting on a show in Miami. Shiras then breaks down the women's action, where Coco Gauff lost early yet again. The commentator reacts to the drama between Amanda Anisimova and Mirra Andreeva, Aryna Sabalenka's ability to navigate through the draw, and Emma Raducanu's resurgence in Florida. And Shiras talks about the feel-good story of the tournament; Alexandra Eala, the only player from the Philippines with a WTA ranking has reached the quarterfinal round! Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Joel, Kim and Chris are back to catch up at the halfway point of the Miami Open, which has seen Indian Wells Champions Jack Draper and Mirra Andreeva bow out early, and Carlos Alcaraz enduring a surprise loss to a perennial David Goffin. Meanwhile, Britain's Emma Raducanu earnt her first Top 10 win of the year and has made it through to the quarter-finals of a W1000 event for the first time in a upturn of her fortunes, whilst Novak Djokovic breaks his Lucky Loser curse to continue through the draw. The trio also dissect the fallout from the latest news that the PTPA have filed a 163 page lawsuit to tennis's governing bodies, a move that PTPA co-founder Novak Djokovic has himself not got behind. They also reflect on some of the sport's most unusual or one-sided H2Hs (in honour of Goffin's over Alcaraz) and Joel tests Kim and Chris's Miami Open knowledge with a timely Par for The Courts: Back and Forth edition.Roland-Garros Hospitality with Sports, Travel and Hospitality GroupTo guarantee the best seats in the house with ticket-inclusive official hospitality, visit Roland-Garros 2025 | French Tennis Grand Slam | STH Group 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.

Tennis journalist Yasmin Syed from The Dailly Express joins the show to discuss another week of drama on the courts, headlined by Mirra Andreeva's 1000 level title in Dubai. Syed examines how the 17-year-old claimed the biggest prize of her young career, and why the No. 9 ranked player in the world has that star quality as well. The writer also recaps Andrey Rublev's exciting run to the winner's circle in Doha, and she explains why it was Rublev's mental strength that ultimately made the difference. And Syed proclaims why the Golden Swing needs to be a permanent fixture on the tennis calendar, on the heels of Sebastian Baez winning Rio for the second straight year. Syed also recounts how she became a tennis fan at a young age, and the steps she did to forge a successful career in the media industry. The writer also reviews the current state of British tennis with Jack Draper & Emma Raducanu leading the charge, and forecasts what to expect at this week's events happening all around the world.

Tennis Weekly had an EXCLUSIVE scoop this week as we broke the story that tennis legend Venus Williams was NOT accepting the highly publicised wild card to Indian Wells after Chris and producer Alina attended an in person event with Venus in Denmark! Not only did the news story and Tennis Weekly catch the attention of tennis media WORLDWIDE but it also caught the attention of BNP Paribas Open Tournament Director Tommy Haas who after viewing our Instagram Story put out a statement to say he had been "informed" Venus wasn't accepting the wildcard. Interesting...In other news It was also another blockbuster week on the ATP and WTA Tours come to an end with Joel, Kim and Chris on hand to dissect it all at Tennis Weekly HQ. Mirra Andreeva came of age in Dubai with a string of sterling performances to crack the Top 10 for the first time. Andrey Rublev also rediscovered his mojo in Doha with his first 500 title since 2022 whilst Jack Draper also made the final on return from injury. Sebastien Baez defended his title in a raucous Rio where there were epic doubles scenes as Matos and Melo became the first Brazilian champions of the event infront of a packed home crowd (who said doubles was dead??).Off court, the fallout continues for both Jannik Sinner and Elena Rybakina. Novak Djokovic had his say on the Italian's doping ban and said 'favouritism' was at play whilst WADA said it was 'a million miles away from doping'. And the gang talk about the issue of safeguarding as Emma Raducanu was put into an uncomfortable situation in Dubai where she had to ask for a stalker to be removed during her match against Karolina Muchova. Elsewhere, Mysterious Player makes a long awaited return as Kim and Chris work together to reveal the tennis player past or present.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.

She's a world class tennis star who's tough as nails on the court, but Emma Raducanu broke down in tears. Not because of a bad game, but because in the stands, she spotted a man she says is stalking her. She was so unnerved she tried to hide behind the umpire's chair. And an unbelievable situation when a woman leaving a restaurant is confronted by a man with a gun. He fires but misses and what ensues is a cat and mouse chase that ends in the woman's death. Authorities believe the killing was a murder for hire. Plus, it's U.S. versus Canada in tonight's big hockey championship match and President Trump is using the event to continue goading Canada - saying it should become the US' 51st state. And officials say it will be Monday before things are back to normal at the Toronto airport in the wake of Monday's jet crash that left the plane upside down and travelers have had it with delays. In fact, there was a near riot when they couldn't get their luggage.
