Every day we turn up and, to our amazement, our passes still work. It's only a matter of time before we're turned away, possibly by Wally Masur himself. In this scintillating and erotic new episode, Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) and blow-in host Sam Taunton (@samtaunton) trade barbs and Australian Open observations. You'll hear them say things like — but not limited to — 'Golly gosh, Lorenzo Musetti had his heart ripped out'. They'll also ask probing questions like 'Gee whiz, what's with all the straight-sets matches?' They also massacre a Neil Diamond song, which is just horrendous for all involved. Oh, and we talk to USA turbo-hunk tennis dude, Ben Shelton. Are you not TENTERTAINED (tennis-entertained)?! Don't answer that. Anyway, as our sponsor would say: 'Get some bubbles up ya!'

We discuss excellent performances from Jessica Pegula and Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek's commitment to doing things differently in 2026, and the players speaking out against the backstage cameras.

Lorenzo Musetti joins for an exclusive chat about his breakout 2025, and why he will continue to push his own limits and chase the very best players in the game. The Italian opens up about his aggressive and flashy style of play, how his growing family continues to motivate him, and why winning an epic ATP Finals match over Alex De Minaur in Turin was a signature moment in his young career. The newly-minted Top 5 player also explains why he's always had an interest in fashion, and why he's extremely excited to take part in the MGM Slam in Las Vegas on March 1. And then Leif Shiras recaps the first week of the 2026 season, which featured some terrific action and drama. Shiras discusses Aryna Sabalenka's brilliance in Brisbane, Daniil Medvedev's successful start to the year, and Alexander Bublik finding his rightful place in the winner's circle yet again. The commentator also reflects on Poland's triumph at the United Cup, analyzes Coco Gauff notching another win over Iga Swiatek, and examines whether Novak Djokovic could be embarking on his final Australian Open in a few days.

Is Alexander Bublik the biggest threat to Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz in 2026? In this episode the podcast, we break down Bublik's surge, what makes his game so awkward for the very best, and whether his ceiling is high enough to consistently disrupt the Sinner–Alcaraz era. We also cover the rest of the week's biggest tennis talking points: Bublik breaking into the Top 10, the signs that Daniil Medvedev might be finding his best level again, Lorenzo Musetti's finals curse, and why Iga Swiatek has been struggling compared to her usual standards.

Catherine is in Melbourne and David and Matt are heading there soon, but first we catch up on all the results from the first week of the 2026 tennis season. Part one (00:00 - 39:14) We discuss how Poland won the United Cup despite Iga Swiatek losing her final two matches against Coco Gauff and Belinda Bencic.

Lorenzo Musetti joins Gill Gross for a chat ahead of the new season. He has said his goal for 2026 is to close the gap on Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, so we asked about what he learned from last year's matches against the top-2. Musetti will continue to work with longtime coach Simone Tarterini, but he has made the decision this offseason to add a 2nd coach, Jose Perlas. We also ask the Italian if he thinks about prize money while playing for 1 million dollars and if he has changed his serve technique in recent months. Musetti will be playing the MGM Slam in Las Vegas on March 1st, a 10-point tiebreak tournament between eight top-players.

Nick Monroe joins the podcast to recap Elena Rybakina's dominant triumph at the WTA Finals, where she won every match to claim the final title of the women's season. Monroe also breaks down how Novak Djokovic was able to battle past Lorenzo Musetti in Athens, and the the 24-time major champion's subsequent decision to withdraw from the ATP Finals.

The former doubles pro looks at whether Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev or the rest of the field can challenge the top two, or if another Alcaraz/Sinner showdown is looming in the final match of the season.

George Bellshaw, Calvin Betton and James Gray unpick another "complicated" week of tennis news - because nothing is ever straightforward in this sport! They discussed... - A date has been confirmed for a new "Battle of the Sexes” with Aryna Sabalenka vs Nick Kyrgios set for 28 December in Dubai - Elena Rybakina wins the WTA Finals and is then determined to embarrass WTA boss Portia Archer over her role in banning coach Stefano Vukov - Aryna Sabalenka loses another big final and ends up in tears - Jack Draper says players need to stop talking and start doing over complaints on the gruelling tennis schedule - Novak Djokovic wins title No 101 in Athens, ripping off his shirt in celebration and becoming the oldest man to win a title in 48 years. It took him all of three gruelling hours against Lorenzo Musetti - whom he then told at the net that his defeat was meaningless and the Italian would still qualify for ATP World Tour Finals because Djokovic was pulling out - Learner Tien beat Cam Norrie in a fine Metz final to claim his first career title and confirm a top 30 debut. Breakthrough player of the year? - And finally, many congratulations to Ons Jabeur, who has announced that she is expecting a baby boy in April Learn more about your ad choices.

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!

There's also chat about Sabalenka's brilliant victory over Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals, the triumph of Elise Mertens and Veronika Kudermetova in the doubles, and The Athletic's Matt Futterman delivers some powerful final reflections on his experience of the event. Part two - ATP Finals Preview (49:39 - 1:10:45). We react to the absurd situation in Athens as Novak Djokovic won a remarkable 101st title, breaking Lorenzo Musetti's heart, but then withdrew from the ATP Finals allowing Musetti to participate in his place. After all that, what might happen in Turin? Part three - Reaction to our Jack Draper interview (1:10:46 - 1:24:06) Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

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.

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?

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.
