The Tragic Three reconvene for the first time in a long time, to pay tribute to Milos Raonic (sort of), marvel at Roger Federer (yet again), and unveil the 2026 Tragedy Watchlist as we move into the first Major of the year down under. We discuss Matte's unfortunate withdrawal from the One Point Slam, Alex's United Cup experience in Sydney, and David's brief dalliance with a 125 in Austin. We share our enjoyment of the One Point Slam (despite its ridiculous length) and our disdain for the (new, pointless) Battle of the Sexes.

We're back from break with season 12 of The Body Serve! The off-season didn't let up for a second, with its fair share of surprising breakups: Carlos and Juan Carlos, Naomi and Evolve, and Novak splitting from the players' organization he co-founded. We also cover Potapova's copypasta, Venus' wedding, the ESPN commentary reshuffle, Iga's viewing habits, and more off-season stuff. We look ahead to the coming season with our usual breakout picks – no ADF this time – plus we recap the opening week Down Under, as Bencic leads her team to the final while Poland snatches their first United Cup. 3:25 Alcaraz and Ferrero split 10:35 Naomi Evolves away from the agency she co-founded 15:10 Djokovic quits the PTPA 22:10 Other off-season stuff: Iga didn't watch, ATP rolls out safeguarding program, Next Gen Finals, Venus at the altar!  35:30 Looking ahead: our breakout picks for 2026 45:30 Changes to the ESPN commentary lineup 51:50 United Cup highlights: Hubie, Belinda, Zizou 60:00 Titles for Sabalenka, Svitolina, Medvedev, Bublik 65:35 The podcast landscape

Before anything else, our thoughts this week are firmly with teh family of Damian Kust. Damian was a cherished and passionate member of the tennis community whom we lost at the age of just 26. His work covering the Challenger Tour set him apart, but his passion and knowledge was what really made him shine. RIP Damian. Details of his funeral and donations to the foundation his parents have chosen are here: https://x.com/damiankust/status/2009644081207709969 It always feels utterly empty to follow such profoundly sad news with the mundanity of the week's tennis news. Here is what else Calvin Betton, James Gray and George Bellshaw discussed this week... Novak Djokovic has pulled out of Adelaide, his only planned warm-up for the Australian Open, saying he is not physically ready for the challenge Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have not played an ATP event yet this year either, but were busy playing an indoor practice match in front of 15,000 people in Seoul, South Korea. Poland FINALLY won the United Cup, Hubert Hurkacz gaining redemption for spurning two championship points against Alexander Zverev in 2024, beating the German en route to leading his nation to victory... ...but Iga Swiatek's form was far from impressive, and it was Katarzyna Kawa and Jan Zielinski, Luke Johnson's new partner, who were instrumental in securing the title PLUS: No Australian Open wildcard for Nick Kyrgios; there is one for Stan Wawrinka; titles for Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Bublik, Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina; Emma Raducanu's return; and OF COURSE *that* wildcard in Nairobi.

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.

In Brisbane konnte Aryna Sabalenka ihren Titel verteidigen, auch wenn sie dabei nicht auf die schwierigsten Gegnerinnen traf. Trotzdem eine beeindruckende Woche von der Weltranglistenersten. Ihre Finalgegnerin, Marta Kostyuk, konnte drei Top-Ten-Spielerinnen schlagen. Vielleicht ein Zeichen dafür, was in Zukunft von ihr kommt? In Auckland ging der Titel an Elina Svitolina, die sich im Finale gegen Xinyu Wang gewann. Bei den Herren setzte sich in Brisbane Daniel Medvedev durch, der damit seine kuriose Statistik weiterführte von 22 Titeln in 22 verschiedenen Städten. Für Medvedev ein ...
