With Wimbledon one week away, the grass court season is in full flow so join Joel, Kim and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they look back on yet another enthralling week of tennis on the tour. Carlos Alcaraz continued his red hot streak to reclaim the Queen's title whilst former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova announced she was back with victory in Berlin, including a dominant performance over the World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Not to be outdone, Alexander Bublik continued his mid season purple patch with a Roland Garros reversal win over Jannik Sinner (who had the time to release some opera music with Andrea Bocelli) en route to the Halle title over Daniil Medvedev whose long wait for an ATP Tour title goes on. Elsewhere, Petra Kvitova announced her retirement from the sport, Nick Kyrgios was dropped from the BBC's Wimbledon coverage and the US Open announced their star studded Mixed doubles event. Headlined by the tantalising partnership of Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu, the gang debate just what impact a singles based doubles event will have on the format or whether it's just one big gimmick. They also look ahead to the final lead up events in Eastbourne, Mallorca and Bad Homburg as Wimbledon qualifying gets underway.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 return of SINCARAZ! Yes please. Join Joel, Kim and Chris who are back once again at Tennis weekly HQ to round up the semifinals action from Roland Garros 2025. Jannik Sinner was comfortable enough over Novak Djokovic with a clinical straight-sets victory (6-4, 7-5, 7-6), ending the Djokovic bid for a 25th Grand Slam title. With this win, Sinner reaches his first Roland Garros final, where he will face Carlos Alcaraz in a highly anticipated clash of the world's top two ranked players. Alcaraz came through thanks to a retirement from Lorenzo Musetti earlier in the day; a disappointing end to a fantastic clay season for the young Italian. Which the lead the gang to wonder should he have retired or just completed the match?Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka ended Iga Swiatek's reign in Paris with a stunning three-set upset, capped by a dominant 6-0 third set. Swiatek, the four-time Roland Garros champion, couldn't match Sabalenka's relentless aggression as the Belarusian powered her way into the final. Coco Gauff also ended French wildcard Lois Boisson's Cinderella story with a commanding straight-sets win. Gauff's precision and power proved too much for the hometown favourite, and Coco will bid to win her second slam against the World No.1 on Saturday!PROPERTY HUB INVESTIf you're serious about property, head to https://propertyhub.net/start to take your first step.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 look back at his fabulous career (and that oh-so-silky one-handed backhand!). Elsewhere, big names like Djokovic and Alcaraz powered on, while seeds Tsitsipas, Ruud, de Minaur, and Mensik suffered surprise exits. While British women are out — with Raducanu falling to queen of clay Iga Swiatek — the American charge is alive and swinging, with Gauff, Keys, and Kenin all cruising through (rackets in hand this time!).

The former World No. 1 is one of the best wedge players of his generation and yet, the practice game he plays to dial in his wedges is something so simple, pretty much anyone can do it.
Despite a gold-laden campaign at the world championships, China's once invincible national table tennis team has left the prestigious tournament in Doha, Qatar, with alarm bells ringing for its Olympic ambitions.尽管在世乒赛上斩获多枚金牌,但中国乒乓球“梦之队”在卡塔尔多哈举行的这项顶级赛事中为奥运备战敲响警钟,这支曾所向披靡的队伍正面临新的挑战。Winning four of the five events at the world championships finals, it seemed like business as usual for China's table tennis squad to have proved its mighty prowess again in the Qatari capital. However, the surging challenge from the rest of the world, underlined by the squad's early exit in men's doubles, has triggered a sense of urgency for the celebrated program.在卡塔尔首都举行的世乒赛决赛中,中国队包揽了五个项目中的四枚金牌,再次彰显了强大实力。然而男子双打项目提前出局的失利,凸显出国际对手的强劲挑战,也为这支荣耀之师拉响了备战警报。The men's doubles final, the first event on Sunday, proceeded without a Chinese pair for the first time in 50 years, with two Chinese teams eliminated in the quarterfinals. Japan's Hiroto Shinozuka and Shunsuke Togami won the final after beating Chinese Taipei's Kao Cheng-jui and Lin Yun-ju 3-2 in the best-of-five format.周日的首场男双决赛出现了近五十年来首次无中国组合参赛的局面,此前两对中国选手均止步四分之一决赛。最终日本组合篠塚大登、户上隼辅以3-2战胜中国台北组合高承睿、林昀儒,摘得桂冠。Women's World No 1 Sun Yingsha and men's World No 2 Wang Chuqin, both from China, then held court at the Lusail Sports Arena, delivering in top form to each claim a singles title, adding to their golden harvest after bagging the mixed doubles title together on Saturday.随后,世界排名第一的中国女将孙颖莎和男单世界第二的王楚钦在卢赛尔体育馆延续统治级表现。继周六携手斩获混双冠军后,两位国手各自在单打项目中登顶。"It felt like a huge burden relieved in my heart," Wang said after beating Brazil's reigning World Cup winner Hugo Calderano 4-1 in the best-of-seven final to win his first world championship singles gold medal.“感觉心里的一块大石头终于落地了。”王楚钦在以4-1战胜巴西现役世界杯冠军雨果·卡尔德拉诺后如此感慨。这是他职业生涯首度加冕世锦赛单打冠军。"It was a tough battle and I am so happy to pull it off, driven by the pride representing my country and the team," said Wang, who also successfully avenged his semifinal loss to the same opponent at the Macao World Cup last month.“这场对决异常艰难,我很高兴能够代表祖国和团队站上最高领奖台,这份荣誉感驱使我坚持到最后。”这位国乒新星同时为上个月澳门世界杯半决赛负于同一对手成功复仇。The recent surge of Calderano, dubbed by fans as the "Thrill from Brazil", saw the world No 3 edge out Chinese players at major events two times in a row after he beat world No 5 Liang Jingkun with a gripping semifinal win on Saturday to set up a clash with Wang. Calderano's meteoric rise has pushed Team China's best to dig harder and stay more cautious in future events.被球迷誉为“巴西惊雷”的雨果·卡尔德拉诺近期状态爆棚。这位世界排名第三的猛将在本届赛事中连续击败中国选手——继周六半决赛力克世界第五梁靖崑后,他将在决赛舞台与王楚钦正面交锋。这位巴西选手的迅速崛起,迫使国乒主力在未来赛事中必须更加努力,保持更高警惕。"To face him again, I tried to position myself as a challenger. He's definitely a big threat for us in future tournaments," Wang said after helping China collect its 11th consecutive men's singles title at the worlds.“再次面对他,我以挑战者姿态全力备战。毫无疑问,他将是未来国际赛场的重大威胁。”助中国队实现世乒赛男单11连冠的王楚钦赛后坦言。In the women's singles final, Sun retained her crown by outplaying teammate and 2021 singles world champion Wang Manyu 4-3 in a seesaw battle.在女子单打决赛中,孙颖莎以4-3险胜队友、2021年世乒赛女单冠军王曼昱,成功卫冕。It was also the 16th consecutive women's singles final at the world championships to feature two Chinese finalists since 1995, serving as testament to the program's dominance in this event.这也是自1995年以来,世乒赛女单决赛连续16届出现两名中国选手进入女子单打决赛,这一惊人纪录彰显着国乒在该项目的绝对统治力。After a break during the men's singles final, Wang Manyu suited up again in the women's doubles final with partner Kuai Man and ended her Doha outing with a gold, after the world No 2 Chinese pair routed the Austria-Romania duo of Sofia Polcanova and Bernadette Szocs 3-0 in less than 22 minutes to cap off Team China's campaign in style.稍作休整后,王曼昱与搭档蒯曼再次出战女子双打决赛。这对世界排名第二的中国组合仅耗时22分钟便以3-0战胜了奥地利—罗马尼亚跨国组合索菲亚·波尔卡诺娃和伯纳黛特·斯佐科斯,为中国队此次多哈征程画上完美句点。这枚金牌也让王曼昱结束了世乒赛之旅。Team China's apparent decline of dominance on the men's side, measured by its own standards, at the world championships has raised concerns over its prospects for the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, where the two team events have been replaced by men's and women's doubles on the Games' program.按照中国自身的标准衡量,中国乒乓球队在世乒赛男子项目统治力的明显下滑,这引发了人们对2028年洛杉矶奥运会前景的担忧,洛杉矶奥运会上将取消男女团体赛,增设男女双打项目。The adjustment is expected to pose a tougher threat for China's ambition of a clean sweep of all golds at LA 2028, where international contenders are more competitive in doubles than in team events.这一赛制调整或将对中国队实现洛杉矶奥运会包揽全部金牌的雄心构成更大挑战。相较于团体赛,国际选手在双打项目的竞争力更为强劲。"We are definitely facing much more pressure now following the change in the Olympic program. The world is ready to go harder at us, and we should be prepared better as well," newly elected Chinese Table Tennis Association president Wang Liqin told Xinhua News Agency after taking office last month.“奥运赛制的改变无疑使我们面临更大压力。世界乒坛正蓄势发起更猛烈的冲击,我们必须做好更充分的准备。”新任中国乒协主席王励勤上月就职后接受新华社采访时表示。这位前大满贯得主强调,双打项目的偶然性特质将加剧奥运夺金难度。tournament/ˈtʊənəmənt/n. 锦标赛invincible/ɪnˈvɪnsəbl/adj. 无敌的; 不可战胜的alarm bells危险信号,警报squad/skwɒd/n.(特殊任务)小组,队take office上任;就职gripping/ˈɡrɪpɪŋ/adj. 扣人心弦的; 吸引人的

Steve Carroll sits down with the esteemed Walker Cup player and captain who has helped bring through some of England's biggest golfing talents. Nigel Edwards has quite the CV. A former World No. 2 as an amateur, he played in four Walker Cups – holing the winning putt at Ganton in 2003 – and skippered three Great Britain & Ireland sides. Indeed, his victorious team at Lytham 10 years ago was the last time we lifted the trophy on this side of the pond. He has played with and against some of the best players in the game and, in his role at England Golf, has managed a team that has nurtured Georgia Hall, Bronte Law and Lottie Wood to name just three. Nigel has some incredible stories to tell from relaying memories of stalwart Walker Cupper Peter McEvoy to how he almost missed one of the finest days in GB&I amateur history.

PLS NOTE: There is some swearing in this episode and it is not one that is suitable for children.What's it like to be the no.1 12U player in the World? To be the youngest player ever to be signed by the IMG management company. To win a full scholarship to one of the most famous tennis academies in the World.Reckon the future for that player and his family was bright? Fame and riches around the corner?Today's guest, Todd Ley who hails from Adelaide in Australia, was in exactly that position. And has written all about that part of the journey and what happened next in a searingly honest book called Smashed.As you'll hear today, what happened next was not fame and fortune. What came next was darkness and at times despair. A chapter which Todd is now moving on from as he rides the rollercoaster of life working in the world of coaching - and I hope setting down what happened in the book will help him do just that. It has certainly helped me think about the journey we are on as a tennis family and why we are on it. It has helped me gain perspective of what is important and for that I thank Todd.Today's episode may not be easy listening at times, you might not agree with everything Todd says, but do take a listen because Todd's story and messages will I think help our family and our tennis journeys and I hope it will maybe help yours too.Visit Todd Ley's website to find about more about the book and BUY A COPY OF SMASHED NOWThanks to FeedSpot for naming My Tennis Journey as a Top 5 UK tennis podcast - much appreciated!

Andre here!Giving my thoughts on the Australian Open 2025 and what I thought was most noteworthy, like:Madison Keys winning her first Grand Slam and whether this will impact the rest of the season (US Open title coming?)Aryna Sabalenka's upset, and how she will bounce back to assert her dominance on hard courts and as World No.1Iga Swiatek's quest to become a bigger factor on hard courts to be on equal footing with Sabalenka and other hard hitters.Coco Gauff and whether she is getting too comfortable winning matches from behind. Also some ATP notes:Jannik Sinner is No.1 and there's not much else to say about itNovak Djokovic is getting old, but he's the GOAT for a reason. Carlos Alcaraz: how to win when matches are boring? And he is the true second best player in the world, and will only get better.Daniil Medvedev's window is all but closed. Unless something major changes, he will start slipping in the rankings and will not be a factor in big tournaments anymore (sadly)Alexander Zverev is never going to win a Grand Slam, and is only winning because of luck.

The Australian Open Finals are SET. Alexander Zverev will face defending champion and World No.1 Jannik Sinner for a chance to win his first Major. The big news from the semifinals was the retirement of Novak Djokovic after losing the first set against the tall german. He was suffering from the same muscle tear that affected him in his quarterfinal win over Carlos Alcaraz and knew going into the match it was unlikely he would be able to finish it. Despite his best efforts on court the Australian crowd booed off their 10 time champion and 24 time grand slam champion for cutting short their afternoon of tennis which reflected badly on the tournament and the aussie fans. Zverev will face 2 time major champion Jannik Sinner in the Final who defeated Ben Shelton after a spirited first set from the american. Sinner steamrolled the last two sets but was seen limping in the third set. Joel and Chris ask - will he be fit for the final and predict who the champion will be on Sunday. On the women's side there was a HUGE upset and come from behind win for American Madison Keys. Keys a former finalist at slam level previously 8 years ago at the US Open will hope to go one better on Saturday against World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka. Keys caused the biggest upset on the women's side when she saved match point and then recovered from 5-7 down in a super tie break to secure her spot in the final by defeated Iga Swiatek. Swiatek was so close to setting up a 1 vs 2 final but with the loss Sabalenka will remain the World Number 1 no matter the result on Saturday. Sabalenka will be going for the three-peat and the one thing we know for sure is that there will be some big hitting on Rod Laver in the final!
