In another episode that was already released as a video overnight for our Patreon backers, Ben and Tumaini wrap up what was a very busy Saturday in the world of tennis, including three simultaneous finals. We start with the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where Elena Rybakina won a very high-quality, high-level tournament that still looked small. How is the WTA going in Saudi Arabia after two years? Should they extend their stay there? Read Tumaini's column on the state of the WTA for more. We then discuss the down-to-the-wire (down-to-the-netcord?) drama around the race to Turin, where Novak Djokovic made Lorenzo Musetti and Felix Auger-Aliassime sweat it out until the last possible moment before withdrawing from Turin. Was that fair or foul? We also discuss the newly announced "Battle of the Sexes" between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios, which we both think is a bad idea (but for a different perspective, read Ben's interview with the organizer, Stuart Duguid). And then for a fun finish, Tumaini waxes lyrical about his love for 1 Point Slam, which is returning in Melbourne next year in a much bigger form. 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!

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.

Welcome back to Tennis Unfiltered, the weekly podcast about tennis that does not hold back. Host James Gray risked his marriage this week by taking two hours out of his holiday to do the podcast, logging on from Athens to discuss the last seven days of tennis with Calvin Betton, Paris Masters-winning coach, and tennis writer and broadcaster George Bellshaw. Here are the stories they discussed: Jannik Sinner won his fifth Masters title and returned to world No 1, for a week at least with Carlos Alcaraz set to overtake him again next week. It also took Sinner to exactly 10,000 points for the 2025 season despite having served at three-month ban in the middle of it. Sinner beat Felix Auger-Aliassime (the indoor GOAT) in the final, having battered Alexander Zverev in the semi-final for the loss of just one game. Carlos Alcaraz meanwhile was knocked out by Cam Norrie, who maintains an impressive record against the Spaniard. But Norrie was beaten by Valentin Vacherot, who followed up his Shanghai title with proof that he is no flash in the pan, and moves into the top 30 in the world for the first time. In the best social media beef of the week, Zizou Bergs managed to catch both Reilly Opelka and Nick Kyrgios in a web of their own egos. The WTA Finals kicked off over the weekend in Riyadh, albeit not in particularly grand style. Coco Gauff was beaten by Jessica Pegula and served 17 double-faults, which meant missing more than a quarter of her second serves, and was broken nine times in all. It begs the question, do year-end finals ever really produce the best tennis? Plus Gauff claimed the WTA is “more interesting” because it has more grand slam champions, while Alcaraz and Sinner clean up on the men's side Three breakout stars won titles on the WTA Tour in the meantime: Janice Tjen of Indonesia; Canada's Victoria Mboko; and a 17-year-old from Austria named Lilli Tagger with a one-handed backhand and a grand slam winner in her box Rohan Bopanna has announced his retirement after 20 years on tour at the age of 45. He won 26 tour-level doubles titles, including the 2024 Australian Open doubles. That also took him to world No 1 at the age of 43, the oldest man ever to do so. He won 539 tour-level matches, won titles with 15 different partners and also picked up a mixed doubles grand slam title at Roland Garros in 2017. Learn more about your ad choices.

Bradley Klahn joins the show to recap Jannik Sinner's run to the Paris Masters Title, and the Italian's improbable return to the No. 1 Ranking on the ATP. Klahn breaks down Felix Auger Aliassime's elite performance indoors, and his decision to rest during the final week as his battle with Lorenzo Musetti for the final spot at the ATP Finals hangs in the battle. The Stanford alum and former pro discusses Alexander Bublik's resurgent season, Valentin Vacherot's incredible breakthrough, and Novak Djokovic's decision to play in Athens. Klahn also dives into the WTA Finals where the final qualifier Elena Rybakina has reached the semifinals. The commentator weighs in on Madison Keys impressive 2025, Iga Swiatek's improvements on fast courts, and ponders if anyone can top World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka at this year's final tournament for the women.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the Paris Masters 1000 tournament that wrapped up this week. The final Masters event of the year proved to be an eventful one, with the world number one player Carlos Alcaraz falling early in the tournament to British tennis player Cam Norrie. This opened up a lot of the draw, but still, Jannik Sinner seemed unbeatable. He cruised through his matchups, with a standout performance coming in the semifinal where he obliterated Alexander Zverev. However, while Sinner ended up winning the tournament, Felix Auger Aliassime's runner up performance earned him enough points to leapfrog his way into the final spot in the year end finals depending on how Lorenzo Muesetti does this week in Athens.Contents: Intro 0:00 Sinner Domination 2:38Early Upsets 5:40Dimitrov's Return 15:34Cousin Rematch 16:09Bergs-Opelka Beef 16:48Quarterfinals 18:21Semifinals 21:37Expected Outcome? 25:03What's New in Tennis 26:31Bet of the Week 30:25Match of the Week 31:55

Jannik Sinner si è aggiudicato l'ultimo Masters 1000 della stagione battendo in finale un ottimo Felix Auger Aliassime, riconquistando così il primo posto della classifica mondiale in vista delle Nitto ATP Finals di Torino anche grazie alla prematura sconfitta di Alcaraz contro Norrie. Il canadese ha in questo modo superato in classifica Lorenzo Musetti, costretto al torneo "di riparazione" di Atene per provare ad agguantare l'ultimo posto per le Finals di Torino. A Riad le WTA Finals sono in corso di svolgimento, con Elena Rybakina in grandissima forma dopo essersi qualificata in extremis all'ultimo torneo disponibile.

Catherine, David and Matt react to Jannik Sinner's title in Paris and the first couple of days of action at the WTA Finals. Part one - ATP. Sinner is the Paris champion and the World No.1 again, but he will finish the season on top or will it be Carlos Alcaraz? We chat about that race, Sinner's astonishing performances all week in Paris, and how the final spot in Turin all comes down to the last week of the season as Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti's fates could be decided by Novak Djokovic. Part two - WTA (30:17). We all predicted Amanda Anisimova to win the title at the WTA Finals, but she lost her opening match 6-3 6-1 to Elena Rybakina. So what happened? And can she bounce back? We chat about the disappointing matches so far, Jasmine Paolini being under the weather, and the return of Coco Gauff's double fault issues against Jessica Pegula. Plus, Victoria Mboko has ended the year on a high with another title. Part three - News (50:31). We pay tribute to the retiring Rohan Bopanna and we say goodbye to our beloved Rosie.

Die 24-jarige Sinner het die Kanadees, Felix Auger-Aliassime, verslaan en spog nou met 26 agtereenvolgende oorwinnings op binnenshuise harde bane.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss a busy week of Tennis following the Asian Swing. With three ATP 250s, talent was spread out, giving some struggling players chances to succeed. Meanwhile, Top ATP players convened for the second Six Kings Slam. However, as an exhibition, the tournament garnered less interest from hard core tennis fans. Meanwhile, those still hoping to make a run to Turin at the end of the season each found success. Felix Auger Aliassime, Daniil Medvedev, and Casper Ruud each collected 250 points to inch closer to the top 8 ranking positions.Contents: The Six Kings Slam 0:00Medvedev Ends Title Drought 7:19The Indoor King 11:41Ruud's Shocking Victory 16:05Rune Injury 21:06What's New 27:15Bet of the Week 35:55Match of the Week 38:45
Andy Roddick, Jon Wertheim, and the Served crew dive into a loaded week of tennis news. From Holger Rune's devastating Achilles injury to Novak Djokovic's fiery speech in Saudi Arabia about player unions and tennis' “monopoly". The guys debate whether Masters 1000 events are too long, what's broken about the ATP/WTA calendar, and jump into the recent results of Rybakina, Medvedev, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Casper Ruud. COMMENT BLEOW Is the tennis calendar broken beyond repair? Would you rather win a Masters 1000 or qualify for the year-end finals?
Calvin Betton in Vienna joins James Gray and George Bellshaw in London to look back at a week of 250s and exhibitions, plus another one falls off the coaching roundabout. They discussed... - Daniil Medvedev ended an 882-day title drought and triumphed for the first time since Rome 2023 by winning the Almaty Open. He now has 21 career titles in 21 different cities. - Felix Auger-Aliassime beats Jiri Lehecka to win Brussels - FAA landed 83 per cent of his first serves in the final, and registering a 9.4 serve rating on Tennis Insights - and Casper Ruud wins Stockholm with a smaller racket by beating Ugo Humbert. - Jannik Sinner won the Six Kings Slam and $6m, but did not seem that bothered about it all - Novak Djokovic talked about his future saying: “Longevity is one of my biggest motivations. If you see across all the global sports, LeBron James he is still going strong, he is 40, Cristiano Ronaldo, Tom Brady played until he was 40-something years old, it is unbelievable." - Holger Rune suffered a serious injury on court in Stockholm this week, rupturing his Achilles tendon and faces months on the sideline - Jack Draper started a storm on Twitter by talking about fatigue and injuries, with Taylor Fritz getting involved too - James Trotman has left Team Draper, saying he can't square the circle of family life and weeks on tour, leaving new addition Jamie Delgado as sole coach - Leylah Fernandez wins Japan Open, beating in the final 18-year-old Tereza Valentova - Elena Rybakina won the Ningbo Open and is in a very intense battle for the last spot at WTA Finals with Mirra Andreeva… - Emma Raducanu has ended her season early after battling illness in China, and will miss tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong as a result. In more positive news, she has signed a new contract with Francisco Roig, the Spanish coach formerly of the Nadal camp whom she has had on trial since July.
