Let's go! Today, we mix it up with the current head coach at Mohawk College, a former D1 player, skills and life coach, Mihai Raducanu! We have a great conversation when the Romanian born who found himself in love with the game early, and once his family immigrated to Hamilton, it was over. Spending his high school years around great coaches and players, including former guest Kyle Julius Mihai started to gain interest at the D1 level. The self-admitted stoic had a great time at Coastal Carolina and, since then has been expanding his knowledge of the game across the world. Mihai is slowly turning the culture around at Mohawk and impacting the lives of many. Grab a pen and paper, the knowledge dropped in today's episode is next level!

The US Open may be over but it's been another action packed week on the ATP and WTA Tours. The Davis Cup delivered major shocks as the USA and Australia both crashed out at home, with Czechia and Belgium rising to the occasion. Spain also staged a heroic comeback without Carlos Alcaraz, while drama swirled around Holger Rune both on and off the court - the less about his DMs the better!Meanwhile, 17-year-old Iva Jovic lit up Guadalajara to become the youngest WTA champion of 2025, while France's Tiantsoa Rakotomanga Rajaonah stunned the field in São Paulo — making it the first time in 17 years that two teenagers have lifted trophies in the same week. We debate where Jovic fits among the new wave of teenage stars of Andreeva, Mboko and Maya Joint.We've also got updates on the Billie Jean King Cup Finals as Raducanu opts for a Korean Open wildcard, the Laver Cup and it's “love it, loathe it” format and the latest on Carlos Alcaraz barnet as he shows off yet another haircut that seems to channel his best Roger Federer blonde impression.

We dive into Iga Swiatek's gritty three-set win over Suzan Lamens, her first dropped set since Montreal, as she battles her way into the third round along with Jannik Sinner's first serve struggle. Naomi Osaka continues her clean run in New York - bedazzled Labubu toys in tow - raising the prospect of a blockbuster showdown with Coco Gauff, who herself survived a rollercoaster three-setter against Ajla Tomljanovic with dangerous Donna Vekic awaiting in tonight's night session on Arthur Ashe.Elsewhere, British hopes took a hit with Jack Draper's withdrawal due to injury, while Emma Raducanu cruised through in style, showing signs that maybe she is back to her US Open 2021 title winning best. We also unpack Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko's heated on-court clash that had the crowd buzzing, and discuss the shifting power dynamics in men's tennis after early exits for Casper Ruud, Holger Rune, Jakub Mensik, and fellow young guns.

New York, New York! The opening round of the 2025 US Open has had a little bit of everything — shock exits, emotional goodbyes, and first class meltdowns (ahem, Daniil Medvedev) so why not join Kim and Chris as they unpack all the drama from Flushing Meadows.Making the headlines, Australian Open champion Madison Keys' surprise defeat to Renata Zarazua was the standout upset, as the American struggled with nerves and unforced errors in front of the home crowd. At the other end of the spectrum, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz opened their campaigns in style, with Djokovic overcoming the tricky up and comer Learner Tien whilst Alcaraz produced a near faultless win against big serving Reilly Opelka— though his new buzzcut stole plenty of headlines too. Is his brother to blame for a shocking buzz cut? Emma Raducanu also made waves, securing her first US Open win since her 2021 triumph, while Iga Swiatek maintained her blistering summer form with a commanding start. No bagels, but the New York bakery is open with a breadstick!Elsewhere, Venus Williams delighted Arthur Ashe Stadium in a three-set battle with Karolina Muchova, and the sport bid farewell to two beloved champions, Petra Kvitova and Caroline Garcia, who played their final matches. Add in Daniil Medvedev's latest meltdown that had the team wondering whether he went too far this time and plenty of bold-prediction drama in the Tennis Weekly camp, Round 1 has certainly set the tone for a thrilling fortnight ahead.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.

We round up the Day 1 tennis at the US Open 2025. Daniil Medvedev involved in a dramatic loss to Bonzi after huge controversy and disruption at match point in the 3rd set when a cameraman stepped on court. Alexandra Eala recovered from 5-1 down in the 3rd set to defeat Clara Tauson. Djokovic won 3-0 but had some issues with a huge blister on his foot as he struggled through the 2nd set.

It's US Open lead-up week, which can only mean one thing… Mixed Doubles madness! But that's not all — Cincinnati once again proved brutal, delivering one of the toughest two-week stretches on tour as players battled the sweltering Ohio heat and a wave of retirements. Jannik Sinner's sudden illness handed Carlos Alcaraz his first Cincy crown, while Iga Swiatek overpowered Jasmine Paolini to reclaim the World No. 2 spot. Frenchman (and massive Pokémon fan) Terence Atmane enjoyed a dream run to the semi-finals, and Elena Rybakina put on a clinic against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, with coach Stefano Vukov now officially back on tour.We also dive into our first impressions of the revamped Mixed Doubles at Flushing Meadows — unpredictable, intriguing, and highlighted by a must-watch showdown between Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz versus Jack Draper and doubles-singles supremo Jessica Pegula. Elsewhere, Venus Williams was handed a wildcard which makes her the oldest ever singles entrant in 44 years at 45 years old, while we look ahead to the final pre–US Open events in Winston-Salem, Monterrey, and Cleveland's Tennis in the Land - with Joel really not sure why there are 500 events in Mexico just before the fourth and final major gets underway in New York.And don't forget — we're back on Thursday with our US Open Draw Preview, featuring bold predictions, quarter-by-quarter analysis, and the return of Collect-a-Set!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.

Catherine, David and Matt are back to talk about the opening stages of Cincinnati which has seen brutal temperatures, a power outage, and plenty of compelling tennis too. Part one - ATP Results. We start by taking stock of the careers of Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud after their struggles continued. There's also Lorenzo Musetti's poor form on hard courts, both Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz immediately going out to practise after their latest victories, another tricky week for Joao Fonseca, and a surprise defeat for Alex de Minaur. Part two - WTA Results (45m45s). The match of the tournament so far was Aryna Sabalenka's three hour victory over Emma Raducanu. We discuss Sabalenka's phenomenal tiebreak record, really encouraging signs for Raducanu, and our impressions of the early glimpses of her coaching partnership with Francisco Roig. There's also Madison Keys saving match points to win yet again and Amanda Anisimova losing to Anna Kalinskaya. Part three - Details of our live show in Wrexham on Wednesday 22nd October!

A blockbuster Friday for British tennis came to a close with Emma Raducanu producing one of her best performances since her US Open title run in 2021, pushing Aryna Sabalenka all the way in two tight sets under the Centre Court lights. Join Kim and Chris as they break down Raducanu's display, what it means now that she'll drop to British No. 3, and whether the match was a good advert for women's night sessions (ahem, Amélie Mauresmo and Roland Garros).It wasn't all doom and gloom for the Brits either, as Cam Norrie and Sonay Kartal continued their strong form to book spots in the fourth round. Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz survived a stern test from the powerful Jan-Lennard Struff to avoid another five-set battle, while Taylor Fritz added another four-set win to his tally — and this time was able to actually wrap things up in broad daylight.Ben Shelton needed just over a minute to complete perhaps the quickest overnight return at Wimbledon, sealing victory against Rinky Hijikata in just over 60 seconds. There was disappointment for big names too, with Australian Open champion Madison Keys falling meekly with illness a factor and Naomi Osaka suffering an agonising defeat, missing a golden chance for a deep Slam run. History was made, though, as lucky loser Solana Sierra became the first female lucky loser ever to reach Wimbledon's fourth round.BABOLATBabolat are an official partner of Wimbledon and their Wimbledon collaboration collection is available to purchase now from babolat.com 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.

Day 4 of Wimbledon 2025 delivered high drama, standout performances and a deflating day for the Brits. Jack Draper lost out to veteran Marin Cilic who rolled back the years and reminded us just why he is a Grand Slam champion and a former Wimbledon finalist. It leaves Jack Draper once again coming unstuck against a 10/10 opponent and not quite living up to the hype at Majors which the gang discuss. Novak Djokovic also showed no signs of slowing down as he defeated Britain's Dan Evans convincingly, exacting revenge on that Monte Carlo reverse in 2021. Does he look the best he has done in his quest for Grand Slam 25? Quite possibly. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner also cruised past Aleksandar Vukic in straight sets. In the women's draw, Iga Swiatek (and resident Wimbledon towel thief) staged a strong comeback against Caty McNally, and defending champion Barbora Krejcikova advanced after a tough battle with Caroline Dolehide. Elena Rybakina and rising star Mirra Andreeva also booked spots in the third round with Joel assessing the teen queen's chances on grass after she stated earlier in the year that the surface is her least favourite. We also look ahead to the epic showdown of Sabalenka vs. Raducanu and wonder just how much can the British crowd try and get into the Belarusian's head as the third round kicks off.BABOLATBabolat are an official partner of Wimbledon and their Wimbledon collaboration collection is available to purchase now from babolat.com 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.

On Day 3 at Wimbledon, the tennis continued to be dramatic, with more seeds falling in what is rapidly becoming the major theme of this tournament. In part 1 Catherine, David and Matt begin by discussing the defeat of a weary-looking Jasmine Paolini by Kamilla Rakhimova. Emma Raducanu impressed against Marketa Vondrousova, but what chance does she have against Aryna Sabalenka? We also talk about a strong performance from Madison Keys, Matt's getting excited and nervous about Amanda Anisimova's draw, and we cover disappointment for Boulter who once again lost a match at Wimbledon when she was the favourite. In part 2 (40m34s) we look at the men's draw, which has opened up further with the loss of Frances Tiafoe to a revitalised Cameron Norrie, and Lehecka to an inspired Bellucci. There's excitement about the match that's been set up between Fonseca (who beat Brooksby in arguably the best match of the day) and the resurgent Nicolas Jarry. The prospect of Chilean against Brazilian fans in round 3 is tantalising. And Taylor Fritz will finally get a day off tomorrow after delaying the pod once again with his late night five-set victory over Gabriel Diallo. There's also plenty of coverage of Carlos Alcaraz's victory over plucky Brit Oliver Tarvet. In part 3 (66m58s) we look ahead to tomorrow's order of play, in particular Dan Evans getting the chance to take on Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.

Rain may have dampened the grounds at the All England Club early on Wednesday, but it did little to quell the drama as Wimbledon 2025's Day 3 served up upsets, star performances, and homegrown triumphs. Centre Court was abuzz as Emma Raducanu delivered a commanding performance against 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova. With aggressive baseline play and composure under pressure, Raducanu sealed a 6-3, 6-3 victory to book her spot in Round 3—reaffirming her form and igniting hopes of a bit of a run on home turf. Next up, the World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka.Joining her in advancing was fellow Brit Cameron Norrie, who battled past 12th seed Frances Tiafoe in four sets, showcasing grit and shot-making under pressure. Meanwhile, young wildcard Oliver Tarvet, though defeated by defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, earned admiration with a spirited showing in front of a supportive home crowd. The day also brought surprises, with fourth seed Jasmine Paolini crashing out at the hands of Kamilla Rakhimova which means that four of the top five women's seeds are out inside three days (!). Another Brit hopeful, Katie Boulter was also edged out in disappointing fashion by Solana Sierra, an Argentinian lucky loser.BABOLATBabolat are an official partner of Wimbledon and their Wimbledon collaboration collection is available to purchase now from babolat.com 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.

Feeling hot, hot, hot! Wimbledon Day 1 is in the books, so why not join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ to catch up on all the action from an enthralling opening day's play. Carlos Alcaraz had everyone sweating — and not just because of the weather — as he battled through a scratchy five-set win over Italian veteran Fabio Fognini, who hadn't won on the ATP Tour since October. The Brits also had a ball on Day 1, with a record seven players already through to Round 2. This included the top three British women — Raducanu, Boulter, and Kartal — with Boulter and Kartal both upsetting higher-seeded opponents in Badosa and former Grand Slam champion Ostapenko. The fairytale run of Oliver Tarvet continued too, as he set up a blockbuster Round 2 clash with Alcaraz — though he won't be able to keep any of his prize money.There were sad scenes as former finalist Ons Jabeur retired, announcing she would ‘disconnect' from tennis for now. Two-time semifinalist and recent Halle finalist Daniil Medvedev also bowed out unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Sabalenka and Gauff put their recent animosity behind them… with a TikTok dance. Join us as we look ahead to Day 2, with Sinner, Draper, and Djokovic all headlining the action!BABOLATBabolat are an official partner of Wimbledon and their Wimbledon collaboration collection is available to purchase now from babolat.com 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.

The boys kick things off by diving into the grass court season, weighing the pros and cons of the Queen's and Halle tournaments. Along the way, they share some hilarious anecdotes—plus, Sam learns the hard truth that winning Queen's might not be as impressive as he once thought. Next, the crew breaks down the US Open Mixed Doubles entry list, unpacking the quirky new format and some spicy team pairings—like Alcaraz and Raducanu. Turns out, Sam's hot take from last year might actually be coming true. The episode wraps with a fun segment imagining what jobs top tennis players would have if they weren't on tour.
