Podcast appearances and mentions of Taylor Fritz

Catherine, David and Matt react to Serena Williams' singles return as she lost in three sets on Centre Court to Maya Joint. In what way did this match and occasion actually exceed our expectations? How did Joint manage to overcome her nerves to play so well and win? Would playing a warm-up tournament have helped Serena? And what might the rest of her summer look like? We then wrap up the other women's results including an emotional Iga Swiatek passing a difficult test as defending champion against Taylor Townsend, Madison Keys and Elena Rybakina both surviving despite inconsistent displays, a shock defeat for Elina Svitolina, and a brilliant comeback by Jasmine Paolini. In part two (47:30), we turn our attention to the men's draw and Taylor Fritz's blazer, Ben Shelton's big missed opportunity, and a special win for Matteo Berrettini in four tiebreaks over Stan Wawrinka. We end by looking ahead to the Day 3 Order of Play (1:13:14). For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.

Catherine, David and Matt were Live at Wimbledon for the first time in 2026 to dissect the singles draws which were made on Friday, headlined by Serena Williams' return to tennis. In part one, we discuss what it was like during the draw as we waited for Serena's name, whether first round opponent Maya Joint counts as a good draw, and how far she might go, including a possible round three clash with Iga Swiatek. There's also chat about potentially difficult paths for Aryna Sabalenka, Mirra Andreeva and Amanda Anisimova. And why do we have a hunch about Jessica Pegula this fortnight? Moving on the men's draw in part two (34:48), there's reaction to Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic being in the same half, a blockbuster round one between Taylor Fritz and Jack Draper, and a land of opportunity in the bottom half. We also talk about a moving experience watching the new documentary Chris and Martina: The Final Set. For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.

Hanlon Walsh joins the podcast to discuss the top storylines heading into a Wimbledon, with uncertainty reigning supreme among both tours. Walsh looks at the American men led by Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz, and examines whether Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe can continue to thrive on the grass. The writer for Tennis Tribe discusses whether Aryna Sabalenka is poised for a bounce back at The All England Club, explains why he Jessica Pegula is ready to for a deep major run, and weighs in on Serena Williams' much-anticipated return alongside her sister Venus. Walsh also reflects on how he became a diehard tennis fan, and how that journey led him to becoming a very credible member of the tennis media. The journalist dives into the place doubles has in the pro game, and what really makes the game exciting and entertaining. And Walsh looks at Katerina Siniakova's brilliance, as she climbs up the all-time doubles ranks. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Monica Puig joins the podcast to discuss the changing of seasons in the tennis world, with the pros heading to the grass as the race to Wimbledon intensifies. Puig recaps her time covering Roland Garros, and shares her thoughts on the crucial next step for champions Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva.

Il y a un peu plus d'un an, Taylor Fritz avait été la grande sensation de la saison sur gazon. Une victoire à Stuttgart puis à Eastbourne avant son magnifique parcours à Wimbledon où il n'avait cédé qu'en demi-finale face à Carlos Alcaraz. Taylor Fritz faisait partie de ces joueurs que l'on pouvait qualifier de "3ème homme" derrière Sinner et Alcaraz. Une année s'est écoulée mais les choses ont bien changé ! L'Américain est toujours dans le top 10 (9ème au classement ATP) mais son genou grince depuis la fin de saison dernière. Fritz à pu faire le première partie de saison mais il était sur le flanc lors de la saison sur terre battue. L'Américain que le retrouve pour cette première semaine sur gazon est en demi-finale à Stuttgart ou il défiera Alexander Bublik et aujourd'hui la question est de savoir s'il sera l'un des joueurs à suivre à Wimbledon ? Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Send us Fan MailWeek 1 of Roland Garros delivered pure unhinged energy, and Resh and Stef were SCREAMING — recording live together in San Francisco for the first time in two years. The biggest WTA story? Clayomi. Naomi Osaka walked out in a Germanier x Nike couture collab ("I look like the Eiffel Tower at night"), made it to the fourth round for the first time in her Roland Garros career, and co-hosted an invite-only Black Party at Soho House Paris with Taylor Townsend. She's serving on and off the court, and the haters (hi, Laura Siegemund) can sit down. Meanwhile, Resh's pick Coco Gauff — the defending champion — lost a gut-punch third-rounder to Potapova, Hailey Baptiste went down with ACL and meniscus injuries at her career peak, and Victoria Mboko broke our hearts in a three-setter against Madison Keys. Also: it sounds like Serena Williams may be coming back to tennis as soon as next week. This is not a drill.On the men's side, the Chaos Slam claimed its biggest victim when top seed Jannik Sinner — up two sets and 5-1 — melted in the sun and lost to the less known Cerundolo in five. The sun remains undefeated. Bright spots: 21-year-old Stanford data science student Nishesh Basavareddy upset 7-seed Taylor Fritz with cold-blooded drop shots, 17-year-old Moïse Kwame became the youngest player to win a Roland Garros match since 1991 (his prize money is locked in a bank until his 18th birthday, because France), and João Fonseca closed out a five-set win over Djokovic on three straight aces like it was nothing.We also need to talk about ATP player Adolfo Daniel Vallejo, who blamed his loss on female umpire Ana Carvalho — a silver badge professional and one of the best in the world — claiming she lacked the "strength" to handle the crowd. Roland Garros fined him and issued a statement. We revisit the Hurkacz 2024 incident, the Fognini 2017 incident, and note that Roland Garros's allyship would land harder if women's matches were ever scheduled in prime time. Heading into week 2: Sabalenka and Iga are the top contenders (despite the hosts' predictions), the Ukrainian sweep is still mathematically alive, and Naomi faces Sabalenka in what is absolutely must-watch Monday tennis.Support the showInstagram : Out_Wide_PodcastJingle : https://www.nelaruizcomposer.com/Logo: https://www.instagram.com/crayonspaghetti/

We discuss Aryna Sabalenka's positive update on her fitness, a huge shift from Emma Raducanu as she detailed working with Andrew Richardson again, how to interpret Novak Djokovic's comments about his preparation, and Taylor Fritz's reality check over his knee.
