Paul is joined by the first member of the Ball Boy Development Program, tennis fanatic and hair deity Benjamin Kersten, to talk the ins and outs of the Asian swing of the ATP and WTA tours. We give some love to Iga and Coco for their recent form on and off the court, have some ideas for how to get butts in the seats at the China Open, and try to solve the mystery of Jannik Sinner's tummy. And in Cross Court we have the case of Cup Sighs, to figure out how to make the schedule just a little bit less insane.
Carlos Alcaraz' withdrawal from Shanghai has given Jannik Sinner a chance to claim the year-end No.1 ranking. Brie is joined by AusOpen.com’s Matt Trollope, data guru Levi Huddleston, and Aussie tennis legend John Fitzgerald to discuss the big news to come out of the Asian swing. The panel dissects the rise of Beijing finalist Learner Tien and Eva Lys, and takes a close look at Coco Gauff’s game as the WTA finals approach.

Catherine, David and Matt discuss titles for Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as well as the opening stages of the WTA 1000 in Beijing. Part one - Men's results. We start by reacting to Alcaraz's triumph in Tokyo, despite an injury scare. Is this the best tennis of Alcaraz's career? We also discuss Alcaraz's decision to withdraw from Shanghai and the over-saturation of two week Masters 1000 events as the injuries and retirements pile up. Over in Beijing, Sinner experimented with his game en route to the title and Lorenzo Musetti got booed and was forced to apologise after a rant about Chinese fans. Part two - Women's results (54m).

The Asian swing is in full flight, and Tennis Weekly has all the latest headlines, results, and talking points from Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai. Carlos Alcaraz struck back with swift Laver Cup revenge over Taylor Fritz to capture his eighth title of the season in Tokyo, while Jannik Sinner bounced back in style to secure a second crown in Beijing. We also reflect on Gael Monfils' emotional announcement that he will retire at the end of 2026, celebrating the career of one of the sport's most electrifying entertainers.On the WTA side, the China Open is serving up shocks: Emma Navarro stunned world No. 1 Iga Świątek—dishing out a bagel along the way—while fellow Americans Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, and Amanda Anisimova also powered into the quarterfinals. Britain's Sonay Kartal has mounted a surprise run, but there was heartbreak for Emma Raducanu, who bowed out after another dramatic match filled with missed chances. Plus, Roger Federer has sparked debate with his comments on court speeds—are tournaments really slowing surfaces to favor Alcaraz and Sinner? And finally, we look ahead to Shanghai, where Sinner defends his title and Novak Djokovic makes his long-awaited return.BABOLAT Pure Strike OfferGo to babolat.com and use code: TENNISWEEKLY15 for an EXCLUSIVE 15% off their new Pure Strike Range(Offer valid until 7th October)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 cover Iga Swiatek's victory in Seoul, her gutsy performance to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova in a dramatic final, and the race for year-end #1 on the WTA Tour. On the men's side, there's chat about Alejandro Tabilo's sudden resurgence to triumph in Chengdu, the utter devastation for beaten finalist Lorenzo Musetti, and whether Alexander Bublik can qualify for Turin after his fourth title of the season.

The post-US Open stretch is always a little strange. Case in point, Lleyton Hewitt was suspended for two weeks because he pushed an anti-doping official last year(?!). Taylor Townsend squandered a lot of good will after she mocked Chinese cuisine (though she swiftly apologized).

Plus, we issue a … clarification(?) of our comments on the USTA last episode, discuss the Canada-Israel tie, and tackle the allegedly imminent Kyrgios-Sabalenka “battle of the sexes.” 1:50 A retraction/clarification on our USTA crashout 6:20 We read the Lleyton Hewitt v.

Amy Lundy joins to discuss The 2025 Laver Cup, as the very best players in men's tennis battle for bragging rights in San Francisco. Lundy dives into the history of this new popular event, and why introducing Andre Agassi and Yannick Noah as captains is another huge addition to the team competition. The journalist looks at whether Carlos Alcaraz can continue riding high after the US Open, how Taylor Fritz will bounce back after the Davis Cup, and whether new comers Joao Fonseca and Jakub Mensik are ready for this new challenge. Lundy also explains why Roger Federer's presence continues to loom large in the Laver Cup and tennis, and reacts to his comments that the 2025 Roland Garros men's Final was the dawning of a new era. The writer also recaps Barbora Krejcikova's epic win over Emma Raducanu in Seoul, and states her case why a combined Laver Cup featuring the WTA should happen next. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

The Pickleball Show with CurtisReese -Discuss the fast growing sport of Pickleball!
In this Show, host Curtis Reese sits down with Ridley Seguso, a rising star in the pickleball world with deep roots in professional tennis. Born on June 12, 1993, Ridley is the son of former Grand Slam doubles champion Robert Seguso—who won 29 doubles titles, including four majors—and ex-top-10 WTA player Carling Bassett-Seguso, a Canadian tennis prodigy who reached No. 8 in the world in 1985 and was the youngest winner of the Canadian closed championship at age 14. Growing up in this athletic dynasty, the now 32-year-old Ridley pursued a competitive tennis career himself, standing at 6-foot-3 and competing in USTA pro events, ITF junior circuits, and ATP qualifiers as a right-handed singles player. The conversation shifts to Ridley's transformative entry into pickleball around 2022, which he credits with reigniting his passion for racquet sports while offering the social, accessible vibe that tennis sometimes lacked for him. Drawing on his tennis-honed skills—like precise volleys and court positioning—Ridley explains how he quickly adapted to pickleball's faster pace and smaller court, transitioning from casual play to competing as an amateur in APP Tour events. He shares practical tips for tennis converts: focusing on soft hands at the net, mastering the dink to control rallies, and leveraging doubles experience for better partner communication—skills amplified by his family's tennis legacy.Reese and Seguso also touch on the family dynamic, with Ridley reflecting on how pickleball brought the whole Seguso clan closer. They discuss the sport's explosive growth, Ridley's goals for climbing pro rankings, and how pickleball's inclusivity helped him, turning it into a tool for resilience and community. Ridley also hints at his multifaceted life, including a LinkedIn profile noting his appreciation for skill-building and success in others. Packed with humor, insider strategies, and motivational stories, this episode highlights why pickleball is capturing athletes from traditional racquet sports.https://www.facebook.com/ridseguso/https://www.linkedin.com/in/ridley-seguso-6b511849/https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4nGg7HxKdiQhttps://pickleball.com/players/ridley-seguso

¡QUE RUEDE LA PELOTA! ⚽ Polémica en Nacional vs Bucaramanga por cuatro jugadores extranjeros
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. There was also news of Daniil Medvedev's new coach in former pro Thomas Johansson and Zsombor Piros sparks debate at Tennis Weekly HQ with his audacious dropshot serve that has got everyone talking!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.

It was the inaugural edition of the São Paulo Open, marking the WTA's return to the city after a long absence. Rakotomanga Rajaonah was outside the top 200 before the tournament; her win vaults her up in the rankings to a career high of No. 131. Key stats/factors:She converted 4 of 8 break point chances, while Tjen managed only 2 of 10. Rakotomanga Rajaonah didn't hit an ace in the final, and committed five double faults, but her serve percentages and second-serve resilience were strong. Tjen had a strong first-serve performance, but she struggled significantly on her second serve. Jovic wins GuadalajaraWinner: 17-year-old Iva Jovic (USA) picked up her first WTA title at the Guadalajara Open Akron (WTA 500 event), beating Emiliana Arango (Colombia) 6-4, 6-1 in the final. With this win, Jovic becomes the youngest winner on the WTA Tour this season. She had to battle in earlier rounds, including saving multiple break points and pushing through some tight matches. In the final, she dominated from the return, saved break points, and used momentum well. The victory also gives a large boost in prize money (~US$164,000) and ranking points, moving her significantly up in the race. Seoul Preview (Korea Open 2025)Here's what to look out for as the tour shifts to Seoul:The Korea Open Tennis Championships in Seoul are a WTA 500 event, outdoor hard courts. Prize money is ~$1,064,510, and a strong field is expected. Key players / seedsIga Świątek — World No. 2, top seed; she's making her Seoul debut. Amanda Anisimova — Seeded high; coming off strong results. Ekaterina Alexandrova — Former Seoul champion, familiar with the conditions. Clara Tauson, Daria Kasatkina, Beatriz Haddad Maia (defending champ), Emma Raducanu among others — mix of experience and rising forms. What to watch / storyline anglesWhether Świątek can break her WTA 500 title drought — she hasn't won a 500-level since Stuttgart 2023. The defending champion Haddad Maia will be looking to defend points and maintain momentum. The wildcard entries (especially local players) might shake things up; local crowd support could matter. Rising players might use this as a springboard late in the season (for rankings, confidence, etc.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The author profiles several champions such as the Williams Sisters, Kim Clijsters who had a renaissance after being a mom, Ashleigh Barty, Aryna Sabalenka and others.
