Jannik Sinner has recorded a duet of "Con Te Partirò" with Andrea Bocelli, marking the tennis player's first foray into music. The collaboration was announced this week and was recorded in a studio in Tuscany.

The Czech left-hander came through 7–6, 4–6, 6–2, saving six set points in a dramatic opening set.

American McCartney Kessler claimed her first grass-court title at the Nottingham Open, defeating Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska 6-4, 7-5 in a rain-interrupted final.

Är Carlos Alcaraz och Emma Raducanu idrottens nya superpar?! Det har länge spekulerats kring de två tennisstjärnorna men efter att Alcaraz frågat Raducanu om hon vill bilda par i ett nytt mixed dubbel-format har diskussionerna kring deras kärleksliv blivit ett hett ämne. Stämmer ryktena? Vilka bevis har vi att gå på? Och nu när Wimbledon närmar sig har det hänt igen – Raducanus stalker har försökt komma henne nära ännu en gång.

Not to be outdone, Alexander Bublik continued his mid season purple patch with a Roland Garros reversal win over Jannik Sinner (who had the time to release some opera music with Andrea Bocelli) en route to the Halle title over Daniil Medvedev whose long wait for an ATP Tour title goes on. Elsewhere, Petra Kvitova announced her retirement from the sport, Nick Kyrgios was dropped from the BBC's Wimbledon coverage and the US Open announced their star studded Mixed doubles event. Headlined by the tantalising partnership of Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, the gang debate just what impact a singles based doubles event will have on the format or whether it's just one big gimmick. They also look ahead to the final lead up events in Eastbourne, Mallorca and Bad Homburg as Wimbledon qualifying gets underway.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.

Poland's four-time champion Iga Swiatek crushed British star Emma Raducanu to advance to the third round at the French Open, stretching her winning run in Paris to 23 consecutive matches.

Los grandes favoritos en liza este miércoles en Roland Garros, Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek y Aryna Sabalenka, lograron su clasificación a la tercera rueda. Entre los latinoamericanos, solo uno logró el pase, el argentino Mariano Navone. Quedaron fuera Daniel Elahi Galán, Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, Alejandro Tabilio y Emiliana Arango. Los grandes favoritos cumplieron este miércoles en Roland Garros, algo de lo que no pudo presumir la mayoría de la armada latinoamericana en la capital francesa, que tras un martes que dejó varias bajas, siguió perdiendo barcos este miércoles.Tan solo cosechó una única victoria en los cuadros individuales, la firmada por el argentino Mario Navone, que alcanza por primera vez en su carrera la tercera ronda en un torneo de Grand Slam.Navone se impuso ante el estadounidense Riley Opelka en un partido que se vio interrumpido por la lluvia en un momento tenso, con un set arriba para la 'Navoneta' y empate a cinco juegos en el segundo parcial. En la reanudación, el nuevejuliense mostró su mejor tenis, llevándose el tie-break y rematando el partido por un sólido 3-0 (6/1 7/6 6/3).Navone se medirá en la siguiente ronda al italiano Lorenzo Musetti, octavo favorito de la cita parisina, que dejó fuera a Daniel Elahi Galán. El colombiano apenas pudo mostrar su mejor tenis y perdió en tres sets (6/4 6/0 6/4).Tampoco corrieron mejor suerte el argentino Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, que perdió contra el serbio Hamad Medjedovic por 3-0 pese a plantar cara en cada set (6/3 6/4 7/5), y el chileno Alejandro Tabilio, quien tampoco pudo hacerse con ningún parcial ante el australiano Alexei Popyrin (7/5 6/3 6/4).Alcaraz sigue firme, Ruud dice adiós prematuramenteEl defensor del título, Carlos Alcaraz, cedió un set en su partido de segunda ronda, aunque mostró contundencia cuando fue necesario para terminar llevándose el encuentro contra el húngaro Fabián Marozsán (6/1 4/6 6/1 6/2). El tenista español de hecho restó importancia tras el partido al set perdido, destacando especialmente sus buenas sensaciones al principio del duelo.La decepción entre los primeros clasificados la vivió el noruego Casper Ruud, octava raqueta del mundo. El nórdico empezó fuerte, pero se resintió de unos problemas de rodilla y, pese a que aguantó todo el partido, terminó derrotado frente al portugués Nuno Borges por 3-1 (2/6 6/4 6/1 6/0).Arango se va con la cabeza altaLa colombiana Emiliana Arango debutaba en París en un torneo de Grand Slam y puso fin a su aventura en segunda ronda, perdiendo ante la china Qinwen Zheng, octava cabeza de serie de la competencia.La de Medellín cedió el triunfo en dos mangas (6/2 6/3) y tuvo sus más y sus menos con el marcado de línea de los árbitros ante la ausencia de la tecnología de Ojo de Halcón y las constantes quejas de su rival, especialmente por la llovizna que hizo acto de presencia durante el partido.Las favoritas sí estarán en la tercera rueda. Iga Swiatek, ganadora de las tres últimas ediciones, clasificó ante Emma Raducanu (6/1 6/2) y la número 1, Aryna Sabalenka, lo hizo ante Jil Teichmann (6/3 6/1). 

On Day 2 at Roland Garros, Chris and Alina were courtside for Emma Raducanu winning return to Paris as she overcame sickness to beat Wang Xinyu in three sets. She also let it be known that she doesn't agree with the scheduling for practice sessions and would like to practice on bigger courts. That won't be a problem for Emma as in her next round she faces three time defending champion Iga Swiatek. Iga revealed the advice that Rafa gave her when he lost to Novak in 2021 that "it's just tennis" there will be another chance. Novak Djokovic also reveals what Andy Murray said to him in the tunnel during the Rafa celebration after he won title 100 immediately after their split and they touch upon the tricky day at the office Naomi Osaka had before they preview Day 3.PROPERTY HUB INVESTIf you're serious about property, head to https://propertyhub.net/start to take your first step.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.

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?

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.

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.
