Catherine, David and Matt discuss the start of the clay court season, headlined by victories for Jessica Pegula and Jenson Brooksby. Part one - WTA Results. Pegula shows her toughness and her variety to win the first clay court title of her career in Charleston over Sofia Kenin. We discuss her reascension to American number one and compare her career with players like Jelena Ostapenko and Sofia Kenin who have won a slam but don't have her consistency. Plus, Camila Osorio wins Bogota for the third time. Part two - ATP Results (from 30m). Brooskby saves match point in three different matches to win the first title of his career in Houston. We discuss his return to the tour, why we enjoy watching him play, and his final victory over Frances Tiafoe. There's also chat about Flavio Cobolli not only snapping his 8-match losing run, but doing so by winning the title in Bucharest. Part three - News (from 50m27s). Top players send a letter to the Grand Slams asking for more prize money, so what does that mean for the PTPA lawsuit? There's also change at the top of the ATP, Coco Gauff leaving Team8, and a look ahead to Monte Carlo and the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers this week.

Welcome to season 11 of The Body Serve! We're catching you up on the barely existent off-season, including the most important Joaos, Max Purcell turning himself in, and Jenson Broosky's brave statement about autism. Even though one of us rejects any “2025” tennis that occurs before January 1, 2025, we talk through the season's early results, including the United Cup fracas, the Opelka and Nishikori comebacks, and the shifting Big 4 allegiances due to the Murravic pairing. We also take on the decidedly more serious situation with Elena Rybakina's former and would-be current coach, Stefano Vukov, who is currently under investigation by the WTA. Finally, we end with our 2025 breakout picks and a game that James was entirely unprepared for. Happy 2025! 1:05 GoFundMe update 4:05 First week results: Reilly, Kei, the pairing from hell, plus the top tier of the WTA smashes their first week 14:00 United Cup: the “drama” is honestly not that serious 23:30 Rybakina, Vukov, WTA safeguarding, and the childishness of “I told you so” 31:25 Max Purcell turns himself in for an anti-doping oopsie 35:55 Kyrgios' obsession + Osaka's allegiance to him (aka: I knew things would get rocky when he came for the nepo baby) 40:45 Jenson Brooksby tells the world that he has autism spectrum disorder 44:50 The Year of the Joao: Reis da Silva comes out as gay + Fonseca wins Next Gen Finals 50:15 Our breakout picks for 2025 54:50 James plays a game!

The Tennis Tragic #058 / The Year of the Tragic / Is this our year? Is there enough wind in our sails? Matte is experiencing new love; David is experiencing new back; the world of tennis has taken its annual 12 day hiatus and we are READY! Surely we can record ... I dunno, ten episodes this year? Topics of the day include: Kyrgios's leg, Novak and Nick playing doubles, who we're watching during AO quallies, a slew of late-tournament retirements from the Ogre and Naomi and Tomas Machac, our Instagram follower count, Conor Niland's book "The Racket", the Upset Game (coming soon to the world wide web!) and Jenson Brooksby's autism announcement.

TBS 320 arrives as the tours (mercifully) make their final few stops of the season. We recap the results of the past week: Sinner, Auger-Aliassime, and Haddad Maia all score big wins for their respective careers. As you know, James is the resident tennis-player-catches-a-doping-case enthusiast (?) and he's back to provide updates about Brooksby and Halep. There's WTA Finals talk as well as a few things we've HAD IT with.   02:49 Jannik's red wig isn't budging 06:20 Felix says he's back! 07:15 Haddad Maia doubles up in Zhuhai 12:47 In-depth look at Jenson Brooksby's case of negligence  33:04 Serena catches a photo-cropping case 36:35 WTA Finals arrives in Cancun – we did it (barely) 43:49 We've HAD IT

The WTA Finals in Cancun have begun, but the build up to the event was marred by strong player criticism about the venue, with limited practice time and a Centre Court which was only just ready for action. Catherine and Matt are joined by special guest Pam Shriver to discuss how and why this happened, the current state of the WTA, and the possible future of this event.On the court, Karolina Muchova's withdrawal was felt as replacement Maria Sakkari was thrashed by Aryna Sabalenka, and Jessica Pegula beat Elena Rybakina in straight sets. There's analysis of those matches, predictions for the week ahead, and investigations into why Iga Swiatek was the only player wearing red for the official photo. Elsewhere, there's praise for Zhuhai champion Beatriz Haddad Maia and finalist Zheng Qinwen, lots of admiration for Jannik Sinner's form after his title in Vienna, and joy at seeing Felix Auger-Aliassime get out of his slump. We also cover Jenson Brooksby's suspension, a big step for Wimbledon in their development plans, and the use of data analytics in tennis.

Der fünfte Tag in Melbourne bot viele Favoritensiege, aber auch die ein oder andere Überraschung. Doch natürlich fangen Andreas und Philipp mit einem Match an, welches zwar am fünften Tag endete, doch eigentlich schon am vierten Tag begonnen hatte.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der Zusammenfassung des vierten Tages in Wimbledon. Swiatek wird gefordert Zwar war der Donnerstag in London keine Verschnaufpause an sich und doch blieben die ganz großen Überraschungen am vierten Tag in Wimbledon aus. Iga Swiatek geriet durchaus für einige Minuten in Gefahr und es zeigte sich, dass die Weltranglistenerste noch einiges an Arbeit erwartet, bevor sie den nächsten Grand Slam Titel nach Hause bringen kann. Trotzdem setzte sie sich mit 6:2 im dritten Satz gegen Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove durch. Für Swiatek geht es nun gegen Alize Cornet, danach könnte Barbora Krejcikova warten. Andreescu ist draußen Verabschiedet hat sich hingegen am Donnerstag Bianca Andreescu, die in zwei engen Sätzen gegen Elena Rybakina verlor. Für die Kasachin geht es nun gegen Zheng Qinwen. Auch Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, Petra Kvitova und Paula Badosa erreichten die dritte Runde. Das Aus kam jedoch für Karolina Pliskova, die in drei Sätzen gegen Katie Boulter verlor. Die trifft nun auf Harmony Tan. Die Bezwingerin von Serena Williams konnte sich in der zweiten Runde gegen Sara Sorribes Torme durchsetzen. Bei den Herren brauchte Rafael Nadal wieder vier Sätze und doch zog er weitestgehend problemlos in die nächste Runde ein, wo er auf Lorenzo Sonego treffen wird. Der aufschlagsstarke Italiener setzte sich gegen Hugo Gaston durch. Nach längerer Zeit hat mal wieder Richard Gasquet die dritte Runde bei einem Grand Slam Turnier erreicht. Kyrgios stark wie selten Der souveränste Sieg des Tages kam von Nick Kyrgios, der nun in einem Blockbuster der dritten Runde auf Stefanos Tsitsipas treffen wird. Nicht antreten konnte Roberto Bautista Agut, der als nächster Spieler wegen einer Covid Erkrankung zurückziehen musste. Am Abend setzte sich noch Alex de Minaur in einem anfangs sehr engen Match gegen Jack Draper durch. Der Australier ist jetzt wohl der Favorit in seiner sehr offenen Sektion um mindestens das Viertelfinale zu erreichen. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?
