TennisNow writer Chris Oddo joins the podcast to dive into the final push at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, where everything is on the line for those remaining in the field. Oddo recaps Karolina Muchova's emotional win over Coco Gauff to reach the finals, and explains how the dynamic player was able to conquer a foe who has given her nothing but problems. The journalist also breaks down how Linda Noskova topped Marta Kostyuk in the other semifinal, and highlights the special skills that make the 21-year old one a threat to everyone on the grass. And Oddo points out what to expect from an all Czech championship match in London. On the men's side, it's another showdown between Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner in a major semifinal. Oddo reacts to Djokovic's marathon win over Felix Auger-Aliassime, and ponders how the Serbian legend will be feeling physically in the next round. The writer dives into Sinner's level this Wimbledon, his road to success on the grass, and the keys that will determine this epic encounter between two titans in tennis. Oddo also shares his thoughts on Alexander Zverev's ability to carry over success from Roland Garros to Wimbledon, British Wild Card Arthur Ferry's improbable run to the Final 4, and how the dust might settle on championship Sunday at The All England Club.

On another late night at Wimbledon, Catherine, David and Matt react to Novak Djokovic's remarkable final set tiebreak win over Felix Auger-Aliassime. How did Djokovic pull this off? What was it like to be in the stadium? And how much will those five hours on court take out of Djokovic ahead of his semi-final showdown against Jannik Sinner? Speaking of Sinner, we discuss his win over Jan-Lennard Struff and how much of a surprise is it that he still hasn't found his best form this tournament. There's also chat about Alexander Zverev completing a four set win over Jiri Lehecka and a look ahead to his match up against Taylor Fritz. In part two (41:10), we cover the women's quarter-finals, as Coco Gauff beat Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova overcame Naomi Osaka. How did Gauff turn that match around and clean up her game? Is it beginning to feel like the kind of slam that Gauff wins? Why could Osaka not play as well as she did against Sabalenka? And how will Gauff vs Muchova look on grass? Finally (1:06:40), we look ahead to Wednesday's order of play and the remaining quarter-finals. Whos the favourite between Jasmine Paolini and Marta Kostyuk? And how will Flavio Cobolli handle not being the crowd favourite against Arthur Fery? For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend. Check out our new merch shop!

Sean Calvert and Nigel Seeley take a look at the betting angles for key first and second round matches at the ATP Halle Terra Wortmann Open ATP London HSBC Championships. The tennis handicappers provide their picks, tips and bets, as well as betting strategies for the top matches in the early week. 00:00 Sean At Queens Club 03:40 ATP Halle Weather Conditions 05:54 Ben Shelton vs. Lorenzo Sonego 10:52 Zizou Bergs vs. Taylor Fritz 15:00 Felix Auger Aliassime vs. Learner Tien 20:53 ATP London Conditions 23:14 Tommy Paul vs. Botic van de Zandschulp
Ben Shelton continued his breakout 2026 season by winning the Stuttgart grass-court title, defeating fellow American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 in the final. It was Shelton's first ATP title on grass and his third trophy of the season after earlier successes on hard courts and clay. The title run was anything but straightforward. Shelton survived multiple three-set battles during the week, including a dramatic semifinal victory over Jiří Lehečka in which he saved two match points before prevailing in a final-set tiebreak. With Wimbledon approaching, Shelton's ability to win on all three major surfaces has elevated him into the group of genuine contenders for a deep run in London. Kamil Majchrzak completed a dream week in 's-Hertogenbosch by claiming the first ATP Tour title of his career. The Pole's run included victories over top players, highlighted by wins against Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev. Majchrzak reached the final after upsetting Medvedev in straight sets and then completed his remarkable tournament by lifting the trophy, a breakthrough achievement for the 30-year-old. His grass-court form makes him one of the more dangerous unseeded players heading into Wimbledon qualifying and draw discussions. The first week of ATP grass-court action produced two major storylines: Shelton has shown he can transfer his explosive serve and aggressive baseline game to grass, making him a legitimate threat at Wimbledon. Majchrzak's confidence is at a career high after securing his first ATP title and multiple top-level victories. This week's ATP 500 event in Halle serves as one of the strongest Wimbledon tune-ups. Historically, the tournament has favored elite servers and aggressive all-court players. The field is expected to feature many of the tour's leading grass-court performers as they continue preparations for the Championships. Players to watch include: Jannik Sinner, who has been one of the dominant forces of 2026. Ben Shelton, arriving with momentum from Stuttgart. Other Wimbledon contenders looking to fine-tune their grass-court games. The ATP 500 event at Queen's Club traditionally offers one of the clearest indicators of Wimbledon form. The fast conditions reward big serving, aggressive returning, and efficient net play. Key questions entering the week: Can the top contenders quickly adapt from clay to grass? Will a player such as Shelton continue his surge? Which established grass-court specialists will emerge as serious Wimbledon threats? Bottom line: Shelton leaves Stuttgart looking like one of the hottest players on tour, while Majchrzak's maiden ATP title is one of the feel-good stories of the grass season. The spotlight now shifts to Halle and Queen's, where the final pecking order for Wimbledon will begin to take shape. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On the women's side, we start with the shocking loss of No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who seemed to be in full control before losing 12 of the last 13 games against Diana Shnaider to crash out. There were echoes of last year's defeat to Gauff, but this year's press conference was more good humored. We then discuss the surprise run of Maja Chwalinska and the strong Kostyuk-Andreeva semifinal on the bottom half.

Martín Letelier vuelve de París con polerita oficial, raqueta, mochila llena de stickers y una experiencia para contar de pe a pa. Felipe conduce y se transforma en oyente privilegiado mientras Martín relata su primer Grand Slam: el "Disneyland del tenis", el ballotage de Roland Garros, las entradas de 34 euros (sí, leíste bien), el ground pass que te deja entrar a Philippe Chatrier si no está lleno, la estatua de Nadal en la entrada con las 14 finales grabadas, y la batalla épica de gritos entre la dupla francesa y los pocos chilenos en una cancha auxiliar viendo a Tabilo jugar dobles.Después hablamos de tenis. La amarga derrota de Tabilo contra Félix en octavos, la baja providencial de Vacherot que abrió el camino, y la polémica con Séptimo Game cuestionando que Tabilo jugara dobles el día anterior (Martín le rebate punto por punto). La caída de Sinner con la teoría caballerosa de Martín, "la final del mundo" Djokovic vs Fonseca y la confianza que se construye al ganarle a un grande, el regreso anunciado de Serena Williams a los 46, las notas de Caterina con Sabalenka como favorita clara, Iga eliminada y la promesa de Marta Kostiuk.Y la evaluación de los cuartos de final pronosticados: la sección 1 fue un desastre total (¿alguien tenía a Berrettini vs Arnaldi?), la sección 2 cumplió con Félix vs Cobolli, en la sección 3 nos jugamos a Fonseca vs Mensik y en la sección 4 acertamos con Zverev vs Jodar (con la triste vuelta a la realidad del español).

Daniil Medvedev was crowned the Dubai Tennis Championships champion on Saturday, but it wasn't without complications. His final against Tallon Griekspoor was cancelled because the Dutchman withdrew due to injury, with Medvedev handed the title by default. However, it came after overnight developments in the Middle East, with the US and Israel having launched a joint attack on Iran. As a result, Iran's military conducted retaliatory attacks on some of its Middle Eastern neighbours. They included the United Arab Emirates, with its capital, Abu Dhabi, having been hit hard by the strikes. The chaos spilt over to nearby Dubai, where the tournament was taking place, but the plan was to continue with the final, had Griekspoor been fit enough to compete. The doubles final still went ahead, despite projectiles being seen over Dubai. But Medvedev and his fellow competitors still face problems, as all flights out of Dubai have been cancelled until further notice. As reported by The Athletic, a representative for Medvedev has claimed they are trying to get the now two-time Dubai Tennis Championships winner out of the Middle Eastern state. It comes ahead of the Indian Wells Masters, which is set to get underway in California next week. Andrey Rublev is also believed to be stranded in Dubai, but fellow semi-finalist Felix Auger-Aliassime managed to get out, and has been seen practicing in Indian Wells, ahead of the Masters 1000 event getting underway in the desert on Wednesday. Medvedev and Rublev do have time on their side, as neither is expected to be in action until Friday at the earliest in California. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
