Send us Fan MailEpisode 35: Roland Garros 2026 Recap & The Grass Court Swing BeginsWe're back with a Roland Garros week two recap that had us screaming, crying, and everything in between. Mirra Andreeva claimed her first Grand Slam title at 19, dropping only 17 games in the second week and accepting the trophy in a custom Nike jacket that read "I'd like to thank myself" — because she absolutely should. Meanwhile, qualifier Maja Chwalińska became only the second player in Open Era history to reach a Grand Slam final as a qualifier, jumping from ranked 114 to number 21 overnight, getting a hero's welcome at the Warsaw airport, and somehow almost running out of money for her hotel mid-tournament. Her story — which includes a very public battle with depression in 2021 and a decision to come back to tennis on her own terms — is one of the most moving in recent memory. We also send our love to Hailey Baptiste, who suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in her second round match and has been sharing her recovery journey with breathtaking honesty. On the brighter side, Karolína Siniaková and Taylor Townsend are one US Open title away from a career Grand Slam together, and their post-win press conference might be the most wholesome four minutes of the year.We then head to the grass court swing, where the palate cleanser we all desperately needed arrived in the form of Serena Williams making her competitive return after 1,375 days away. She and Vicky Mboko upset the third seeds at Queen's Club and reminded us all why tennis is worth watching. We break down Donna Vekic going from lucky loser to champion, the deeply pointed wildcard snub of defending Queen's Club champion Tatjana Maria, Alex Eala's win in Birmingham, and Robin Montgomery winning a WTA title in the Netherlands ranked 484th in the world. Resh also delivers an important journalism moment: a full breakdown of why Wimbledon grass and football grass are about as similar as clay and hard court, and why that actually matters for how the ball behaves.In our Five Minutes with the 5%, we talk about Flavio Cobolli — the charming, superstitious, emotionally open 24-year-old from Florence who nearly upset Zverev* in a five-set Roland Garros final and who we are officially rooting for. We also address the men's champion, Alexander Zverev*, with a content warning for domestic violence — including why L'Équipe made the deliberate editorial choice not to put him on their front page after his win. We close out with the ongoing prize money fight (Wimbledon just announced a 20% increase, but players say it's not enough), the rumored Serena/Venus mixed doubles pairing with Sinner and Alcaraz at the US Open, and Resh and Stef's ongoing appreciation for women coaching women across tennis, the WNBA, and the NWSL.Next episode: our Wimbledon preview and thoughts on the Rafa Nadal documentary.

WTA Weekly – Queen's Club Review & Berlin/Nottingham Preview Welcome to WTA Weekly. This week, the grass-court season delivered one of its best stories as Donna Vekic completed a remarkable run to win the Queen's Club title in London. Entering the tournament as a lucky loser after falling in qualifying, Vekic took full advantage of her second chance and capped the week with a 6-0, 7-6(6) victory over home favourite Emma Raducanu in the final. Vekic dominated the opening set before Raducanu fought back impressively in the second. The Brit recovered from a difficult start, built a lead, and even held set points, but Vekic's experience on grass proved decisive in a tense tiebreak. The Croatian eventually converted her fifth championship point to secure her first title in several years. Despite the loss, Raducanu leaves Queen's with plenty of positives. After an injury- and illness-disrupted season, she reached the final without dropping a set before Sunday and recorded victories over multiple top players. Her form suggests she could be a dangerous contender during the remainder of the grass swing and at Wimbledon. As for Vekic, the title continues a remarkable turnaround. She only entered the main draw after a late withdrawal created a lucky-loser spot, yet she navigated the field brilliantly and now heads into Wimbledon full of confidence. Looking ahead, attention shifts to the WTA 500 event in Berlin, one of the strongest grass-court tournaments outside Wimbledon. The field is expected to feature many of the tour's top players, making it a crucial test before the Championships. Meanwhile, the WTA event in Nottingham offers another opportunity for players to gain valuable grass-court matches and ranking points. With Wimbledon just around the corner, every match becomes increasingly important as players fine-tune their games for the year's biggest grass-court event. That's all for this week's WTA Weekly. The road to Wimbledon is heating up, and after Vekic's incredible lucky-loser triumph at Queen's, the grass season has already shown that anything can happen. Learn more about your ad choices.

How do you double the size of a major sporting venue, rebuild its technology foundation, and still deliver a seamless experience for hundreds of thousands of fans? Recording from Cisco Live, I spoke with Robert Nichols, Principal Technical Architect for the Cincinnati Open, about the enormous undertaking behind one of the most respected tournaments in professional tennis. As an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event, the Cincinnati Open recently completed a $260 million expansion that increased the campus from 20 to 40 acres, all while working against a deadline that could not be moved. Our conversation explores what happens behind the scenes when nearly 300,000 visitors arrive expecting every aspect of the event to work flawlessly. From ticket scanning and connectivity to food service, hospitality, broadcasting, security, and crowd management, every part of the operation depends on infrastructure that most fans never think about. Robert explains how the team approached modernization without losing the qualities that have made the tournament special for generations. Accessibility, proximity to the players, and a welcoming atmosphere remain central to the Cincinnati Open experience, even as the venue continues to grow. We also discuss occupancy analytics, connected cameras, wireless networking across 40 acres, and how data helps organizers make better operational decisions throughout the tournament. Along the way, Robert shares insights into the scale of planning required to support one of the largest events in professional tennis. Looking ahead, we examine how AI and automation could influence the future of live events, helping organizers improve operations while keeping the focus firmly on the fan experience. Whether you're interested in sports, technology, operations, or large-scale event management, this episode offers a rare look at what it takes to deliver an event watched by millions worldwide. What part of a live sporting event do you think requires the most coordination behind the scenes?

Capítulo de cierre grabado el mismo domingo de la final masculina, todavía masticando lo que acabamos de ver. Felipe conduce con Martín de vuelta del periplo parisino y el regreso de Hugo Romero después de varias semanas ausente (con gorrito de Rafa para la ocasión).Alexander Zverev finalmente levanta un Grand Slam. Más de cuatro horas, cinco sets, nervios a tope de ambos lados y los recuerdos de Vietnam siempre rondando (Tien en US Open, Alcaraz en RG 2024). Analizamos el partido set por set: el 6-1 demoledor del primer set en 39 minutos, el quiebre emocional del segundo set donde Cobolli encuentra los golpes, el tercer set chicoteado con un break point salvado de 23 shots, el cuarto donde Sacha se quiebra solo con dobles faltas, y el quinto set donde el quiebre clave en el 3-0 con tres break points en contra termina sellando el título.Antes del cierre, también la final femenina del sábado. Mirra Andreeva a los 19 años cumple con las expectativas largamente acumuladas y vence a Maja Chwalinska, la polaca lucky loser que vino desde la quali sin sponsor y casi sin hotel, tapando bocas durante dos semanas. Conchita Martínez como coach detrás del juego españolizado de Andreeva, paciencia y construcción.Y el debate que se viene: ¿dónde queda Zverev en el legado del tenis? Hugo y Felipe lo ponen bajo Medvedev (ser número uno pesa). Más las evaluaciones de pronósticos previos (todos nos caímos feo en algún momento), revelaciones (los italianos Cobolli y Arnaldi, jodar a pesar de la caída, el holandés de Jong como lucky loser hasta octavos), decepciones (Tsitsipas, Shelton y Fritz), la despedida de Stan Wawrinka, el campeón junior brasileño y la mira puesta en la temporada de pasto.Síguenos en Instagram @lucklosers_podcast Twitter @LuckyLoserscast  @luckyloserstenis Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@luckyloserspodcast8246

Serena Williams faced the press for the first time in 4 years at the HSBC Championships, Queen's Club 2026 — and I got to ask her a question (the last question!). At 44, she's back. Here's what she said.I was in the room for Serena Williams' Media Day press conference at Queen's Club, London, where she confirmed her tennis comeback at the HSBC Championships 2026. Serena received a wildcard to play women's doubles alongside World No.9 Victoria Mboko — 25 years her junior. This is her first competitive tennis appearance since the 2022 US Open, where she famously said she was "evolving away" from the sport.

Maja Chwalinska face à Mirra Andreeva, c'est donc l'affiche du Grand Chelem parisien, et sans surprise on peut annoncer que c'est une affiche inédite et totalement inattendue.La Polonaise issue des qualifications va-t-elle redescendre de son nuage et sera t-elle ramenée sur terre par la Russe aujourd'hui ? C'est bien sûr la question que toute le monde se pose ? Chwalinska, c'est le retour du romantisme avec un tennis atypique que l'on adore, problème ce tennis va-t-il s'exploser face à celui de Mirra Andreeva. La prodige russe n'a que 19 ans mais on a toujours l'impression qu'elle est sur le circuit depuis 10 ans. Pour elle, c'est une première finale de Grand Chelem et la seule question que l'on se pose, c'est de savoir si elle sera trahie par ses nerfs ? On débat et on pronostique cette finale dans "Sans Filet".  Dans la suite de "Sans Filet", nous reviendrons sur la qualification pour la finale d'Alexander Zverev au dépend de Jakub Mensik, l'Allemand retrouvera Flavio Cobolli qui a bénéficié du forfait de Luciano Darderi. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

One win from the final. Alex Eala vs Rebeka Masarova at the Birmingham Open 2026 is a semi-final that could define the Filipina's entire grass season — and we have the full Eala vs Masarova prediction, preview, and tactical breakdown right here.Eala is the world number 37, top seed, and has not dropped a set all tournament. She beat Hon, Charaeva and Sawangkaew to reach her first WTA semi-final since Auckland in January — and the Wimbledon 2026 preparation she needs is right there for the taking. Masarova has been equally impressive, beating Naef, Maria and Stoiana in three consecutive three-set battles, proving she has the fight and the grass court game to go deep. The Eala vs Masarova Birmingham Open 2026 semi-final is a first ever meeting between two players both peaking at exactly the right moment. One of them reaches a grass court final with Wimbledon 2026 just weeks away.Can Eala's dominant top seed run carry her to the Birmingham Open final and send a warning shot ahead of Wimbledon? Or does Masarova's three-set battle hardening give her the edge in the biggest match of her grass season?

Dans ce nouvel épisode de Jeu, Set & Podcast, Cristel Joiris et Philippe Dehaes reviennent sur des demi-finales qui ont bouleversé tous les pronostics à Roland-Garros. Au programme : l'incroyable parcours de Maja Chwalinska, issue des qualifications et qualifiée pour sa première finale en Grand Chelem, où elle affrontera la jeune sensation Mirra Andreeva, seulement 19 ans.Côté masculin, focus sur Alexander Zverev, qui disputera une nouvelle finale majeure avec l'occasion de décrocher enfin le premier titre du Grand Chelem de sa carrière après plusieurs rendez-vous manqués.

Brett and Jimmy check in from vacation to give their opinions on all the craziness going on in Paris at Roland Garros. If Sascha Zverev can't win his first major now then it might never happen. He is the dominant favorite to come out with the trophy but will old demons creep in at the worst time? Aryna Sabalenka once again failed to finish in a grand slam match where she was in total control. This has become a unfortunate trend for the world #1 the past two years. It's a crazy dichotomy where on one hand she is by far the most dominant player on the WTA tour, but also has a hard time taking advantage of her chances to add to her grand slam total. Flavio Cobolli faces off against fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldi in the top half semi making for a great opportunity for both players to make it further that they have ever been before.

Martín Letelier vuelve de París con polerita oficial, raqueta, mochila llena de stickers y una experiencia para contar de pe a pa. Felipe conduce y se transforma en oyente privilegiado mientras Martín relata su primer Grand Slam: el "Disneyland del tenis", el ballotage de Roland Garros, las entradas de 34 euros (sí, leíste bien), el ground pass que te deja entrar a Philippe Chatrier si no está lleno, la estatua de Nadal en la entrada con las 14 finales grabadas, y la batalla épica de gritos entre la dupla francesa y los pocos chilenos en una cancha auxiliar viendo a Tabilo jugar dobles.Después hablamos de tenis. La amarga derrota de Tabilo contra Félix en octavos, la baja providencial de Vacherot que abrió el camino, y la polémica con Séptimo Game cuestionando que Tabilo jugara dobles el día anterior (Martín le rebate punto por punto). La caída de Sinner con la teoría caballerosa de Martín, "la final del mundo" Djokovic vs Fonseca y la confianza que se construye al ganarle a un grande, el regreso anunciado de Serena Williams a los 46, las notas de Caterina con Sabalenka como favorita clara, Iga eliminada y la promesa de Marta Kostiuk.Y la evaluación de los cuartos de final pronosticados: la sección 1 fue un desastre total (¿alguien tenía a Berrettini vs Arnaldi?), la sección 2 cumplió con Félix vs Cobolli, en la sección 3 nos jugamos a Fonseca vs Mensik y en la sección 4 acertamos con Zverev vs Jodar (con la triste vuelta a la realidad del español). Cierre con la pregunta del millón: ¿quién gana este Roland Garros tan abierto?Síguenos en Instagram @lucklosers_podcast Twitter @LuckyLoserscast  @luckyloserstenis Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@luckyloserspodcast8246

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/

Zach Heinzerling, the Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated director behind Netflix's new four-part documentary series Rafa. The series follows Rafael Nadal across the final year of his career, from his 2024 return through his retirement, while reaching back across two decades to tell the fuller story of one of the most decorated and most physically punished athletes in the history of tennis. The series goes beyond the 22 Grand Slams and 14 French Open titles to reveal what it cost to win them: a rare, incurable foot condition called Müller-Weiss syndrome, diagnosed when Rafa was just nineteen; years of aggressive medical intervention that left him with perforated intestines; and a 2022 Roland Garros run played on a foot deadened by nerve-blocking injections. For the first time on camera, Rafa removes his sock and shows the foot itself — an image he had guarded from the public for twenty years. The series also explores the formative role of his uncle and longtime coach Toni Nadal, whose tough-love methods shaped Rafa from the age of three; the anxiety and ritual beneath the on-court persona; and the rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic that defined a generation, including the now-famous Laver Cup farewell where Rafa and Federer sat side by side and wept. Featuring testimony from Federer, Djokovic, John McEnroe, and the family, coaches, and inner circle who have stood beside Nadal his entire career, Rafa is less a highlight reel than a portrait of a champion in negotiation with his own body — and an answer, or an attempt at one, to the question of why he kept playing long after that body told him to stop.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work?  The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world's top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they're being tone-deaf with some of their complaints.  Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of 'spygate'. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade? 

Avec Arthur Fils, il est le grand espoir tricolore de ces prochaines années. Moïse Kouamé disputait hier son premier match dans un tournoi du Grand Chelem. Et c'est chez lui, à Paris, que le Français a décidé de signer sa toute première victoire dans un Majeur. Nombreuses sont les personnes à rappeler son âge et le fait qu'il était peut-être trop tôt pour bénéficier d'une invitation de la part de la Fédération Française de Tennis, mais Moïse Kouamé a prouvé qu'il avait sa place dans le tableau principal du Grand Chelem parisien en dominant Marin Cilic. Kouamé a été bluffant ? Que faut-il attendre de lui ? Doit-on être exigeant avec lui ? On en débat dans Sans Filet. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Domingo 24 de mayo, 6 de la mañana, mentalidad de tiburón. Arranca Roland Garros 2026 y volvemos a la tradición más sagrada de Lucky Losers: la previa llave por llave del Grand Slam, esta vez con el equipo completo. Felipe Duarte en la conducción, regresa el CEO Raimundo Lira al estudio, y nos acompaña Martín Letelier que en unas horas se sube al avión rumbo a París como nuestro corresponsal en cancha en su primer Grand Slam.Revisamos las cuatro secciones del cuadro masculino: Sinner sin rivales reales a la vista (¿quién le saca un set?), la sección de los chilenos con Tabilo vs Majchrzak y Vacherot al fondo, Garín vs Learner Tien (que viene de ganar Ginebra), la sección caliente de Djokovic con el primer round contra Mpetshi Perricard (y el rant de Raimundo sobre la "conspiración" del horario), y la sección de Zverev donde Felipe se la juega fuerte con Cobolli llegando a la final.Más: las notas de Caterina para el cuadro femenino con los 10 partidos imprescindibles de primera ronda, la despedida emotiva de Monfils, el primer título ATP de Ignacio Busse en Hamburgo, y los pronósticos al cierre.

Old school Tennis and Bagels is BACK with the brains of the podcast: Vansh Vermani, the living tennis encyclopedia brings all his in-depth analysis and knowledge of players' form, injury, court conditions, past results, and more.We are doing a full draw preview, going section by section of both the Roland Garros men's and women's draws and finally making our picks for semi-finalists, finalists, and champions of the 2026 French Open!On the WTA side, great popcorn matches all around, with some really strong potential for upsets that could turn the draw upside down. But also trust in the seeded players, to find solutions, make it deep in the draw, and conquer their nemeses. Will Aryna Sabalenka win her first major of 2026? Will Coco Gauff defend her title with her grit through highs and lows? Can Elena Rybakina complete the Surface Slam? Is it the time that Iga Swiatek will finally overcome the Ostapenko mission impossible? Or is it someone else's time to win big in Paris?On the ATP, the Jannik Sinner question remains unanswered: who can stop him at all? Seemingly unbeatable, it feels like acts of God are his only great challenge left without Alcaraz in the draw and an aging Novak Djokovic. If injury, terrible weather conditions with a brutally hot sun, and/or a miraculous performance by some anointed player doesn't stop him, it feels like nothing will. Though Djokovic already operated miracles during his career, including the Australian Open earlier this year, and Medvedev coming back from getting double-bageled by Berrettini in Monte Carlo to take a set off Sinner in Rome does sound like a godly act, too.Who will prevail on the red clay?Favourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

¡QUE RUEDE LA PELOTA! ⚽ Duelo de colombianos en la final de la Liga MX, Kevin Mier y Wilmer Ditta se enfrentan a Álvaro Angulo.

(I said Svitolina beat four Top 20 players on route to the Rome title - this is wrong. She beat three Top 5 opponents, but the next higher ranking she beat was World no.25 Hailey Baptiste.)Elina Svitolina wins her first WTA 1000 since Rome 2018. Her third crown in the Italian capital, with hard-fought, well-earned wins over Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff. What a tournament by the Ukrainian, who sits now as the WTA Race World No.3, and No.7 in the 52-week rankings.Will that be enough to earn her a first grand slam title at Roland Garros, starting next week??Time will tell - but, I think that would be really difficult. Not so much because Svitolina is not a great player, in fact, she's probably the best version of herself on a tennis court in her career. But the WTA is full of surprises, and the level is insanely high across the board. The Top 5 is playing amazing tennis, with Aryna Sabalenka being as consistent a World No.1 can be, reaching SF and Finals at almost every tournament she plays, only without the major title to show for it in 2026. Which in turn could make her even more dangerous an motivated to win her first Roland Garros trophy.Elena Rybakina the WTA Race World No.1, World No.2 in the 52-week rankings, and Australian Open champion, would be looking to transform her Race ranking into her real ranking, climbing to World No.1 for the first time in her career with a deep run in Paris - a title would all but guarantee it. And then, who knows: a Calendar Grand Slam in the making?Gauff, the defending champion at Roland Garros, lost to Svitolina in the Rome final in a tough three-setter. Doesn't matter how Gauff plays, it seems it's always impossible to beat her without massive effort. There are no true bad days for the American. She's coming for that title again, no matter who stands in her way - even if it's her own self.Finally, Iga Swiatek. The four-time Roland Garros champion started the year without playing well at all. All seemed completely out of control, with her game spiraling and losses stacking up. Until Francisco Roig joined her team as her new coach, and a couple days with Rafa Nadal himself, seemingly changed the course of her year overnight. Now playing a much more confident tennis, with her strengths emphasized and game plans set on more that just hit the ball very hard, Swiatek made us all look at her again as one of the top favourites. But you can't just erase months of struggle like that, and her loss to Svitolina in Rome showed that, despite the great progress over this clay season, Swiatek might still have some internal issues to work out before fully returning to her very best. Will it happen at Roland Garros 2026?We will have to wait and see how all this unfolds.Favourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Shelby Rogers joins the podcast to recap The Italian Open, where Elina Svitolina went on a sensational run to win the event for the third time. Rogers explains why Svitolina is better than ever and what finalist Coco Gauff can do to keep improving. The former WTA pro also examines the field of contenders for the women's title at Roland Garros, and even suggests a few younger players that could be ready for their moment. Rogers also recaps Jannik Sinner's victory on home-soil, as the Italian wins yet another Masters tournament on clay. Is there anyone that step to the World No. 1 in Paris? Rogers dives into that difficult question and covers several other top ATP storylines including Carlos Alcaraz's announcement that he will be missing Wimbledon, and what it might mean for Novak Djokovic's chances at a 25th major. And Rogers discusses how she's adjusted to life after the conclusion of her playing career, and why she thoroughly enjoys broadcasting. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Catherine, David and Matt convened for a live show to discuss Elina Svitolina crowning one of the all-time great title runs, Jannik Sinner completing his set of all the Masters titles, and what it all means for Paris. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 33:48). What made the final between Svitolina and Coco Gauff so compelling? How did Svitolina's victory show off her evolution as a player? And what's the status of The Mix heading into Roland Garros? Part two - ATP (33:49 - 1:13:22) We cover Sinner's tough semi-final win over Daniil Medvedev and his more straightforward victory in the final against Casper Ruud. Could he win all the Masters 1000 events this year? How much mental and physical fatigue is he battling? And who - or what - can stop Sinner is Paris?Part three - The week ahead (1:13:23 - 1:26:33).

Catherine, David and Matt review an eventful few days of action in Rome and look ahead to finals weekend. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 44:40). We discuss how Elina Svitolina and Coco Gauff have both reached the final, including Svitolina's remarkable wins on back-to-back nights over Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek, as well as Gauff's battling victory over Mirra Andreeva and gradual improvement in form. Who has the edge in the final? Plus, we analyse Swiatek's tournament and wonder what it means for Roland Garros, and we hear Pam Shriver's observations from her time coaching in Rome. Part two - ATP (44:41 - 1:15:10). We start with Jannik Sinner's record-breaking run as he sweeps through the field while managing some fatigue. But there's plenty of chaos around Sinner to discuss, including a thrilling win for Daniil Medvedev against Martin Landaluce, a late-night, smoke-interrupted epic between Luciano Darderi and Rafael Jodar, and some very graceless quotes from Alexander Zverev. There's collective joy that Arthur Fils will be fit for Roland Garros and sadness that Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn. Part three - News (1:15:11 - 1:37:03). We react to the news that Andy Murray will coach Jack Draper for the grass court season and give our thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz's Vanity Fair cover.

4x Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters and tennis reporter Blair Henley are joined by WTA pro and model Carson Branstine to discuss the realities of life on tour outside the top 100. Carson, currently recovering from a torn labrum, opens up about funding her career without a coach or physio, her viral TikTok calling out player welfare failures, and how she balances tennis with modeling and a new finance venture. Kim adds perspective from her time on the WTA board and her own battles with the tour's injury fine system.  Kim and Blair also break down a busy week in Rome: Sorana Cirstea beating Sabalenka at 36 years old and reconsidering her retirement and Coco Gauff's admission of off-court struggles. They also weigh in on Project Red Eye, the player-led push for greater Grand Slam revenue sharing, and the story of Ukrainian player Oleksandra Oliynykova, who is using her platform to raise funds for the Ukrainian military. Kim closes with a tactical breakdown of Iga Swiatek's backhand slice, explaining why it has become one of the most effective weapons on tour heading into Roland Garros. Welcome to Love All!

Catherine, David and the Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare look back on a dramatic opening week at Rome's Foro Italico.Part one - WTA (00:00 - 16:41). Charlie brings us up to speed on the latest stand off between the top players and the Grand Slams over prize money, and Aryna Sabalenka's bold claim that the players are prepared to boycott in order to achieve the revenue share they think they deserve. Is it all hot air? Do the players have a point or are they being greedy?Part two - WTA (16:41 - 50:09). After Charlie explains the bizarre circumstances around Emma Raducanu's pre tournament withdrawal, we get into the nitty gritty of the women's results so far, including a shock early defeat and injury scare for the World Number One Sabalenka. Part three - ATP (50:09). Injury and illness drama also dominated the early stages of the men's event, with Djokovic compromised by stomach issues and Dino Prizmic capitalising in spectacular fashion. Is Dino finally happening? And is there anyone left standing between Darth Sinner and a maiden title in Rome?Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠: https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcastCheck out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.thetennispodcast.net/shopSign up to receive our free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt's Stat, mascot photos, Fantasy League updates, and more): http://eepurl.com/gbmzRXFollow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (@thetennispodcast): / djqzbwwmk.

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by The Athletic's Matt Futterman to discuss finals weekend in Madrid and what it might all mean for Roland Garros. Part one - ATP (00:00 - 38:00). We start with Jannik Sinner's demolition of Alexander Zverev and what it told us about their match up and the gap between Sinner and everyone else in the field in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz. Why was Zverev so poor in the final? Is Sinner in a mix of one at Roland Garros? And who or what might be his biggest obstacles? Part two - WTA (38:01 - 1:05:01). We discuss Marta Kostyuk winning the biggest title of her career over Mirra Andreeva, the keys to that victory, and whether this puts her in contention to win in Paris.

Catherine, David and Matt catch up on all things Madrid - a tournament which has been hit by a bout of apparent food poisoning, but with plenty of interesting plot lines still developing. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 32:38). We cover Post Puke Gauff's gutsy victory over Sorana Cirstea, Elena Rybakina coming through a couple of testing three setters, and a nice run for Hailey Baptiste. Plus, David fills us in on the return to form of Caty McNally and we make some predictions for the week ahead. Part two - ATP (32:39 - 1:05:44) Rafael Jodar's win over Joao Fonseca was the standout moment of the tournament so far. How did Jodar win it? What happened to Fonseca in the decider? And did their match prove how good they are or reveal some potential weaknesses? There's also chat about Lorenzo Musetti beginning to rediscover his confidence, some wild Terence Atmane scenes, and debate about who might come through the bottom half to (probably) face Jannik Sinner in the final. Part three - News (1:05:45 - 1:21:51). We get some ⁠extra information from the ITIA⁠ about Marketa Vondrousova's case and we react to the news that Portia Archer has left her role as WTA CEO.
