Click the link above or go to gofundme.com/tennis-weekly-2026 On today's pod, we look back on another season on the ATP tour and what a year it has been. 2025 in men's tennis saw one of the greatest matches in history in the Roland-Garros Final when Carlos Alcaraz saved match points to defeat Jannik Sinner as once again the top 2 split the slams. Elsewhere Novak Djokovic returned to form and secured a Top 4 finish and made the semi-finals at all the slams as well as picking up title number 100 and 101 along the way. Jannik Sinner was also banned for 3 months for anti-doping offences and was nominated in our WTF category long with the Vacherot's LL to Master's Champion run in Shanghai. There were newcomers on the block when Learner Tien became the Top 10 slayer, Fonseca won two titles and Mensik defeated Djokovic in the Miami final to announce himself on the bigs stage and we also cover the heartbreaking moments including Rune's injury and Dimitrov having to retire two sets up at Wimbledon against Jannik Sinner. Joel Kim and Chris also look back on some of the best matches of the year such as Munar vs Alcaraz and Norrie vs Jarry as well as some less positive results in the 'Biggest Fumble Category' where nominations include Jack Draper's grass season as well as ATP Worst Behaviour where Medvedev gets a mention.

That’s a wrap on the ATP 2025 season! Jannik Sinner defends his ATP Finals singles title as Carlos Alcaraz does enough to secure the Year End No.1 ranking for the second time. In a dramatic final week of ATP Tour action that saw Novak Djokovic pull out at the last minute and the No.1 ranking decided it was the same result as Sinner capped a stellar season by winning once again in Turin. It was the most watched tennis match in Italian history and the historic result could only have been topped if he had sealed the No.1 ranking as well. There were strong performances from Felix Auger Aliassime and Alex de Minaur as they ended the year in the Top 10 and disappointment for Zverev and Fritz who didn’t match their previous efforts at the ATP Finals. Joel, Kim and Chris also unpack Novak Djokovic’s interview with Piers Morgan as well as Tim Henman calling for a ATP Chairman, Andrea Gaudenzi, to model the ATP season like the F1 season with rest weeks in between big events. Joel also puts Kim and Chris through their paces in a Year End No.1 Quiz as the final Par for the Courts of the 2025 season and they announce their UTS competition!

What a dramatic day for the WTA and ATP tour as Novak Djokovic sent the ATP Finals into chaos when he both won a title and then withdrew immediately from the ATP Finals on the eve of the tournament allowing beaten finalist Lorenzo Musetti to make his first ever trip to the year ending championships on home soil in Turin. The result also means that Felix Auger Alliasime will be making his second ATP Finals appearance and will be seeking to continue his good run of form. All eyes will be on Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as they battle it out to be the Year End World No.1 and the odds are stacked in Alcaraz’ favour with just three wins required to prevent Sinner from finishing the year on top. On the WTA Tour it was just as dramatic as the last player to qualify 2022 Wimbledon Champion Elena Rybakina defeated World Number 1 Aryna Sabalenka to take home the WTA FInals Trophy. Rybakina went undefeated at the finals beating Swiatek, Sabalenka and Anisimova as well as Pegula on her way to the title. She even bageled Swiatek on the way and delivered a tiebreak bagel to the queen of tiebreaks herself Aryna Sabalenka. Sabalenka has another big match to look forward to as she takes part in a revival of the ‘Battle of the Sexes’ where she will take on Nick Kyrgios and Joel and Chris ask why and who cares! They also reveal their picks for the Nitto ATP Finals as well as make their predictions as to who will be the Number One at the end of the week and who will win the title and make the final.

Jannik Sinner is back at No.1 after lifting the title in Paris for the first time. He surpasses Carlos Alcaraz for at least a week as the battle to be the year end No.1 heats up ahead of the ATP Finals. Sinner overcame Felix Auger Aliassime in the final to win his first Masters 1000 of the year but it will be a tall order if he is to retain the number 1 ranking from Alcaraz in Turin. Elsewhere the WTA Finals have kicked off and it has been full of surprises with Iga Swiatek going down to Rybakina, winning just 1 game in the final two sets. Defending Champion Coco Gauff looked out of sorts as she was defeated by friend and countrywoman Jessica Pegula in three sets after making 75 unforced errors and 17 double faults. Can she turn it around and make the semifinals? Madison Keys was eliminated after losing both of her matches and it will be a shootout between Anisimova and Swiatek to make the semis. There was joy for Victoria Mboko who won her second WTA title of the year after a difficult few months following her victory at home in Canada. Mboko will finish the year in the top 10 and will be a big name to watch in 2026. We also cover the action from the final week of ATP action as Novak Djokovic plays in Athens and Lorenzo Musetti needs to win the title to qualify for the end of season finals or Felix Auger Aliassime will be heading to Turin! As always Joel and Chris play a Tennis Weekly Quiz and we have a Mirra Andreeva Mailbag to unpack as to why she skipped the final week of qualifying for the WTA Finals.

It’s heating up on the tennis tour as players race for those all-important final spots at the End of Season Tour Finals. Join Joel, Kim, and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they dive into another jam-packed week of ATP and WTA action — where two words dominated the headlines: Saudi Arabia (but more on that later). First up, Jannik Sinner battled through cramp to defend his Vienna Open title, defeating Alexander Zverev in a thrilling three-set final to claim his 21st ATP crown — and surpass $50 million in career prize money. Over in Basel, teenage sensation Joao Fonseca captured the biggest title of his career, living up (finally) to the early season hype as one of tennis’s brightest new stars. On the WTA Tour, Belinda Bencic celebrated a comeback win in Tokyo, while Ann Li ended a four-year title drought in Guangzhou. The team also discusses Elena Rybakina completing the WTA Finals field at the expense of Mirra Andreeva and preview what might just be the strongest lineup in a long time, featuring Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova, and Madison Keys. Plus, the gang unpack breaking news that Saudi Arabia will host a new ATP Masters 1000 event and look ahead to the WTA Finals in Riyadh and Paris Masters at its new home away from Bercy — but who’s got the tougher draw, Sinner or Alcaraz?

It’s been another packed week on the ATP and WTA Tours, so join Joel, Chris, and a special guest appearance from Alina as they break down all the big stories from Tennis Weekly HQ. Jannik Sinner dominated Carlos Alcaraz to capture the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia, pocketing a record $6 million payday — but what did we really learn from their latest showdown? Is indoor hard court still Sinner’s territory, and what to make of Alcaraz’s comments on the packed tennis calendar? Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev finally returned to the winners’ circle in Almaty after 882 days, and Casper Ruud lifted the Stockholm Open title in front of Swedish royalty, with Chris and Alina reporting behind the scenes as they continue their quest to track down and interview Magnus Norman. The team also rates Emma Raducanu’s season, analyses Elena Rybakina’s late WTA Finals push, and asks what’s gone wrong for Mirra Andreeva. Plus, big coaching news as Jack Draper hires former coach of Andy Murray and Grigor Dimitrov, Jamie Delgado whilst Frances Tiafoe sacks his teams to sign up Todd Martin.

It’s been a historic week on the ATP and WTA Tours! Join Joel and Kim on Tennis Weekly as they unpack all the headlines, starting with Valentine Vacherot’s fairytale victory in Shanghai — the Monaco native becoming the lowest-ranked Masters 1000 champion in history after defeating his cousin Arthur Rinderknech in an all-family final. The team debate whether this incredible underdog story is a great advert for tennis or a reflection of a congested ATP schedule. On the WTA side, Coco Gauff continues her hard-court dominance, powering past Jessica Pegula to win the Wuhan Open without dropping a set — extending her flawless 9–0 record in hard-court finals. There’s also excitement ahead of the Million Dollar Point Slam launching at the Australian Open, as well as buzz around Carlos Alcaraz’s new Nike logo, set to debut at the ATP Finals. Plus: Roger Federer reveals his five tennis GOATs (with a cheeky Djokovic nod), Joel’s take on the Impossible Shot Challenge, and we preview Stockholm, Ningbo, and the blockbuster Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia featuring Alcaraz, Djokovic, and Sinner.

Anisimova’s Double, Sinner’s Struggles & Zverev’s Court Speed Storm… It’s been another dramatic week on the ATP and WTA Tours as the Asian Swing heats up. Join Joel, Kim, and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they break down all the big stories — from Amanda Anisimova capturing her second WTA 1000 title of 2025 in Beijing, defeating rising Czech star Linda Noskova in a thrilling final, to booking her spot at the WTA Finals in Riyadh. Is she now America’s No. 1 — and could she even be a future World No. 1? On the ATP side, Jannik Sinner’s Shanghai title defence ends in frustration as he’s forced to retire with cramps, reigniting debate around the gruelling Masters 1000 schedule and the increasingly slow court speeds. Alexander Zverev adds fuel to the fire, accusing tournaments of tailoring conditions to favour Alcaraz and Sinner — but does he have a point? In the second half, Chris chats with Tariq Naslawi, founder of Trace and co-creator of Collect, the official ATP collection game, before the team previews the Wuhan Open, where Sabalenka and Swiatek headline a blockbuster draw. Plus, Joel reacts to Iga Swiatek’s racket appearing in a zombie video game, Kim celebrates Rafael Nadal’s honorary doctorate, and Chris reveals our latest Babolat competition winner.

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.

From San Francisco to Seoul and Shenzhen, it’s been a non-stop week of tennis drama. Join Kim and Chris as they unpack all the action, from the Laver Cup to the Billie Jean King Cup finals. Team World reigned supreme in San Francisco with a dramatic Laver Cup victory under new captain Andre Agassi, as Taylor Fritz sealed the trophy in style against Alexander Zverev, just days after his shock win over Carlos Alcaraz. In Shenzhen, Italy once again defended their Billie Jean King Cup crown, with Jasmine Paolini and Elisabetta Cocciaretto powering past Jessica Pegula and Emma Navarro despite unfavourable head-to-head records. Meanwhile in Seoul, Iga Swiatek battled past Ekaterina Alexandrova to clinch her 25th career title, while Emma Raducanu’s return to the court ended in heartbreak against Barbora Krejcikova. We also look ahead to the WTA 1000 in Beijing, where Coco Gauff is aiming to defend her title in the absence of World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, and the ATP 500 in Tokyo, where Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz could be set for another showdown.

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.

The US Open 2025 is over and the Champions have been crowned, Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka! It all happened in New York, from Polish CEO Piotr Szczerek stealing a hat from a child and making global headlines to Naomi Osaka turning up with blinged out Labubu's for every match. We also saw Taylor Townsend make headlines for all the right reasons and Jelena Ostapenko for all the wrong reasons as well as Novak Djokovic making it to four semifinals at majors this year! So as is tradition after two weeks of daily coverage, the Tennis Weekly team reunites in truly global fashion across three time zones (Spain, Greece, and the UK!) for a special US Open wrap-up episode. In this bonus pod, Joel, Kim, and Chris reflect on their own personal highs, lows, and biggest surprises from Flushing Meadows using their Peak, Pit & Pleasant Surprise scorecard. From jaw-dropping comebacks and unexpected breakthroughs and some shocking fashion faux-pas (or should that be haircuts), we cover it all. We also debate have our Tennis weekly awards to dish out for our own Best matches of the tournament, Biggest upsets, Who has the most room for improvement and our 2026 Australian Open “ones to watch”.

Carlos Alcaraz is once again on top of the tennis world after capturing his second US Open title in New York and reclaiming the world number one ranking from Jannik Sinner. In a trilogy final that was delayed by 50 minutes due to President Donald Trump’s arrival at Flushing Meadows, Alcaraz produced a dominant display to defeat Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. Aside from a brief wobble in the second set, the Spaniard was in command throughout, outhitting his rival by 42 winners to 21 and dropping just one set all tournament. The victory marks Alcaraz’s sixth major title at only 22 years of age, putting him ahead of Federer, Djokovic and Nadal at the same stage of their careers. Sinner, meanwhile, struggled with his first serve and could not maintain consistency on what many considered his strongest surface. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they unpack what this result means for both players and the broader Grand Slam picture in 2025. Was this a missed opportunity for Sinner? What was the difference for Alcaraz compared to Wimbledon? And yes, the Drake Curse reared its head again. We also discuss how this latest chapter shapes their rivalry moving forward and what fans can expect for the rest of the season, plus unveil our Collect a Set champion and look forward to our US Open wrap-up show coming later this week!

Aryna Sabalenka finally ends her Grand Slam drought for the season and edges past Amanda Anisimova in two thrilling sets to retain her US Open title that she captured last year. Join Kim and Chris as they discuss the encounter in Flushing Meadows between two of the biggest ball-strikers in the women's game and whether they thought it lived up to the billing. For Sabalenka, it was not a win without drama having failed to close out the match at the first opportunity but was able to get over the line a nail-shredding tiebreak. How does this win change her outlook on the season and how good must it feel to get revenge on that titanic Wimbledon semi final defeat against the American. For Amanda Anisimova, it was another taste of Grand Slam finals defeat but this time in a completely different manner. From the double bagel dished out at Wimbledon by Iga Swiatek, Anisimova can have her head held high even if falling just short. Join Kim and Chris as they discuss her journey, what needs to happen for her to become a Grand Slam champion and where is it most likely to happen next.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are set for a blockbuster US Open final, and Joel and Kim are here to break it all down at Tennis Weekly HQ. Alcaraz delivered a statement performance against Novak Djokovic, gaining revenge for his Australian Open defeat earlier this year and scoring his first hard-court victory over the 38-year-old Serbian legend. The Spaniard cruised through in straight sets, not dropping a set all tournament, still finding the time to play golf with Sergio Garcia, and secured his spot in a second US Open final as he eyes both the trophy and a return to World No. 1. Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner battled through the night session, overcoming an inspired at times Felix Auger-Aliassime in four hard-fought sets to notch his 300th career win. Despite a mid-match medical timeout, the Italian found his best tennis in the clutch moments to set up yet another Grand Slam showdown with Alcaraz. For the first time in the Open Era, two players will contest three major finals in the same season — Roland Garros, Wimbledon and now New York.

The US Open 2025 Women’s final is set and it’s a rematch of THAT Wimbledon semifinals that saw Amanda Anisimova upset the world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a fabulous contest. Anisimova will be hoping to replicate that victory when she faces off against Sabalenka on Saturday night but will the memory of the 6-0 6-0 Wimbledon final defeat be in the back of her mind going into another final. Anisimova stunned two time former champion Naomi Osaka in the semi-final in three tight sets and 3 hours to advance to her second consecutive grand slam final. Osaka at one point was just one game away from a 3rd final in New York before Anisimova bounced back to power to victory. For Sabalenka the test was arguably even tougher in a rematch of the US Open final last year, she went down a set and in the final set only won 4 points against the Pegula serve and they all happened to be in one game whilst Pegula didn’t take her 4 break point chances to level the match. Sabalenka will be seeking her 4th grand slam title and her 1st of the season whilst Anisimova will be seeking a maiden grand slam title. Joel and Chris make their predictions and they also preview the Men’s semi-finals where Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic face off in the day session and Jannik Sinner takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the night session. They also look ahead to the women’s doubles final from Flushing Meadows where Taylor Townsends seeks to cap off a phenomenal tournament for the American!

It’s been an action-packed set of quarterfinals in New York City, with the semifinal line-ups (nearly) now confirmed. In a Wimbledon final repeat, Amanda Anisimova was able to exact revenge on Iga Swiatek (and that double bagel defeat) to make her first US Open semifinal, whilst Felix Auger-Aliassime extended his sparkling run by outlasting Alex De Minaur — who once again fell short of his maiden Grand Slam semifinal. Will he ever get there? We also dive into Novak Djokovic’s gritty, guns-out win over Taylor Fritz and ask whether the Serbian can finally make another major final and build on his Australian Open victory against Carlos Alcaraz as the Spaniard marched into the semis without dropping a set, looking as ruthless as ever. Jessica Pegula also brought Barbora Krejcikova back down to earth after her dramatic win over Taylor Townsend, booking a semifinal showdown with World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, who advanced via walkover following Marketa Vondrousova’s withdrawal. Can Pegula keep up the curse of Americans and stop Sabalenka from reaching yet another Grand Slam final?

… and breathe! It’s been another couple of days of high drama in Round 4 at the US Open in New York City. We kick off with Naomi Osaka’s stunning win over Coco Gauff, a straight-sets victory that puts her into her first Slam quarterfinal in more than four years — and marks her first top-five win since 2018. Osaka has always won a Grand Slam every time she has reached the quarterfinals - Joel and Kim discuss can she do it again? We also talk Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, who both continued their serene progress into the last eight, with the Spaniard looking very much the part on serve (less said about the barnet the better!). Elsewhere, Daniil Medvedev has split with long-time coach Gilles Cervara after eight successful years, sparking questions about where the former World No. 1 goes next. Mouratoglou? Ivanesevic? No one?! Barbora Krejcikova also pulled off the escape of the tournament, saving eight match points to deny Taylor Townsend in a dramatic Arthur Ashe clash that truly showed what Grand Slam champion mentality looks like, whilst a resurgent Felix Auger-Aliassime produced fearless tennis to dismantle Andrey Rublev and book a quarterfinal against the under the radar Alex de Minaur. Plus, we get excited overIga Swiatek’s statement win, Marketa Vondrousova’s ball bashing upset of Elena Rybakina, and the bizarre “hat-stealing” story - now with an apology from the Polish CEO - that’s taken social media by storm!

The US Open is heating up in New York and Round 3 brought yet more drama in abundance. Jannik Sinner survived a stern test from Denis Shapovalov but is still searching for his best tennis, while Coco Gauff powered past Magdalena Frech to set up a much-anticipated fourth-round clash with Naomi Osaka. Joel and Chris look at their head to head and decide who will a (presumed) Arthur Ashe night session slot favour most - or could we be in store for some 'car crash tennis' as Joel puts it. Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina once again proved too strong for Emma Raducanu, with Joel and Chris discussing how the Brit can best handle ultra-aggressive opponents. Elsewhere, Taylor Townsend continued her fairytale run with a stunning win over Mirra Andreeva as Jelena Ostapenko published another Instagram story update. Novak Djokovic overcame brief back injury concerns to edge past Cameron Norrie, and Adrian Mannarino advanced in bizarre circumstances whilst on a bathroom break after Ben Shelton’s tearful retirement on court. Off-court, fan behavior sparked controversy when a millionaire CEO was caught stealing a signed hat meant for a child from Polish player Kamil Majchrzak, adding fuel to discussions about crowd conduct at the US Open.

The second round of the US Open delivered high drama, surprises, and a few fiery exchanges — and Joel and Chris are here to break it all down. We dive into Iga Swiatek’s gritty three-set win over Suzan Lamens, her first dropped set since Montreal, as she battles her way into the third round along with Jannik Sinner’s first serve struggle. Naomi Osaka continues her clean run in New York - bedazzled Labubu toys in tow - raising the prospect of a blockbuster showdown with Coco Gauff, who herself survived a rollercoaster three-setter against Ajla Tomljanovic with dangerous Donna Vekic awaiting in tonight’s night session on Arthur Ashe. Elsewhere, British hopes took a hit with Jack Draper’s withdrawal due to injury, while Emma Raducanu cruised through in style, showing signs that maybe she is back to her US Open 2021 title winning best. We also unpack Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko’s heated on-court clash that had the crowd buzzing, and discuss the shifting power dynamics in men’s tennis after early exits for Casper Ruud, Holger Rune, Jakub Mensik, and fellow young guns. We also look ahead to standout Day 6 clashes including Rybakina vs Raducanu and Djokovic vs Norrie.

New York, New York! The opening round of the 2025 US Open has had a little bit of everything — shock exits, emotional goodbyes, and first class meltdowns (ahem, Daniil Medvedev) so why not join Kim and Chris as they unpack all the drama from Flushing Meadows. Making the headlines, Australian Open champion Madison Keys’ surprise defeat to Renata Zarazua was the standout upset, as the American struggled with nerves and unforced errors in front of the home crowd. At the other end of the spectrum, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz opened their campaigns in style, with Djokovic overcoming the tricky up and comer Learner Tien whilst Alcaraz produced a near faultless win against big serving Reilly Opelka— though his new buzzcut stole plenty of headlines too. Is his brother to blame for a shocking buzz cut? Emma Raducanu also made waves, securing her first US Open win since her 2021 triumph, while Iga Swiatek maintained her blistering summer form with a commanding start. No bagels, but the New York bakery is open with a breadstick! Elsewhere, Venus Williams delighted Arthur Ashe Stadium in a three-set battle with Karolina Muchova, and the sport bid farewell to two beloved champions, Petra Kvitova and Caroline Garcia, who played their final matches. Add in Daniil Medvedev’s latest meltdown that had the team wondering whether he went too far this time and plenty of bold-prediction drama in the Tennis Weekly camp, Round 1 has certainly set the tone for a thrilling fortnight ahead.

Join Joel, Kim and Chris as they look ahead to this year’s US Open Championships with a fresh reaction to the men’s and women’s singles draws, which sees Iga Swiatek seek to back up her Wimbledon win and make a play for the No.1 ranking. Will Jannik Sinner looking to put aside recent illness to continue his dominance on hard courts? With Carlos Alcaraz handed the more difficult section of the draw, including an opener with Reilly Opelka, the trio debate if anyone can stop another Sinner-Alcaraz Slam Final. They discuss who amongst the young Americans may challenge, how well Jack Draper will fare and most importantly, how Jaume Munar will get on against Gabriel Diallo in a possible Round 2 clash! Meanwhile, in the women’s draw, World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka finds herself in a stacked quarter with recent Cincy finalist Jasmine Paolini, young dangerous Dane Clara Tauson, and her recent conqueror Elena Rybakina. They also chat Coco Gauff’s serve in light of the news she has hired Sabalenka’s former serve serve biomechanics expert, and they look ahead to wildcard Venus Williams’s opener against Karolina Muchova. With Italians Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori defending their US Open Mixed Doubles title, albeit in very different fashion (and with a big pay rise!) Joel, Kim and Chris also capture their thoughts on the inaugural pre-tournament mixed doubles, which many have lauded as unworthy of a Slam title.

It’s US Open lead-up week, which can only mean one thing… Mixed Doubles madness! But that’s not all — Cincinnati once again proved brutal, delivering one of the toughest two-week stretches on tour as players battled the sweltering Ohio heat and a wave of retirements. Jannik Sinner’s sudden illness handed Carlos Alcaraz his first Cincy crown, while Iga Swiatek overpowered Jasmine Paolini to reclaim the World No. 2 spot. Frenchman (and massive Pokémon fan) Terence Atmane enjoyed a dream run to the semi-finals, and Elena Rybakina put on a clinic against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, with coach Stefano Vukov now officially back on tour. We also dive into our first impressions of the revamped Mixed Doubles at Flushing Meadows — unpredictable, intriguing, and highlighted by a must-watch showdown between Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz versus Jack Draper and doubles-singles supremo Jessica Pegula. Elsewhere, Venus Williams was handed a wildcard which makes her the oldest ever singles entrant in 44 years at 45 years old, while we look ahead to the final pre–US Open events in Winston-Salem, Monterrey, and Cleveland’s Tennis in the Land - with Joel really not sure why there are 500 events in Mexico just before the fourth and final major gets underway in New York.

The Canada Open delivered high drama and history! Wildcard sensation Victoria Mboko, just 18, thrilled home fans with a stunning run to her first title that included defeating 4 Grand Slam champions. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they discuss what impressed them most throughout the event and whether we are looking at a potential future World No. 1. They also talk about Naomi Osaka's up turn in form but wonder whether the crowd had an impact on her mentally and was it really an accident to not praise Mboko in the post match ceremony. Elsehwere brilliant Ben Shelton claimed his maiden Masters 1000 crown in a nail-biting final over Karen Khachanov. We break down Shelton’s growing rivalry with fellow American Taylor Fritz — and who really has the edge and wonder why Khachnov isn't more celebrated on tour. We also preview a stacked Cincinnati Open draw featuring the returns of Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, and Aryna Sabalenka, with bold predictions and fan reflections on how this revamped US Open lead-up is shaping the season (spoiler alert: bring back one week Masters!).

Quarterfinals are locked in at the Canada Open—and while star power may be light, the drama and surprises are anything but. With standout performances lighting up both Toronto and Montreal, Joel, Kim, and Chris return to Tennis Weekly HQ to unpack all the action as the US Open draws nearer. This week, they discuss the long-awaited WTA emergence of Victoria Mboko, following her impressive ITF blitz at the start of the season. Meanwhile, Coco Gauff—still top seed—continues to struggle with her serving scaries in singles, though her doubles form remains strong. Why the disconnect? The team weighs in. Naomi Osaka also headlines after bouncing back from a disappointing DC stint with a new coach and fresh confidence, powering into the quarterfinals. What’s driving her post-Mouratoglou resurgence? Over on the men’s side, tensions flared between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli (though we’re not really sure why?), and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina sparked debate after complaining about an early wake-up—much to Dan Evans' irritation. Was he out of line, or does he have a point? Plus, the team looks ahead to the US Open and the surprising announcement of a new tennis-themed dating show, Game Set Matchmaker—which Kim suspected might be a late April Fools’ joke. They also debate who deserves the final two wildcard slots at the inaugural Mixed Doubles event—and whether real-life couples like De Minaur/Boulter and Monfils/Svitolina (aka GEMS Life) should get the nod.

The North American hard court swing is heating up as we head toward the US Open, with the Canada Open in Montreal and Toronto just around the corner. But first, join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they reflect on all the action this week including Washington, DC — where Leylah Fernandez and Alex de Minaur dazzled their way to titles, leaving their opponents still searching for that elusive trophy. And get the violins out as sadly yes, that does include another heartbreaking loss for Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, who let championship points slip away once again this season. Emma Raducanu also reclaimed the British No.1 spot with a strong semi-final run, and Venus Williams reminded us of her timeless talent at 45, turning back the clock against Peyton Stearns — a player half her age! Elsewhere, Jannik Sinner made headlines by rehiring his former fitness coach involved in the controversial clostebol case. And in coaching news, it was splitsville for both Naomi Osaka and Stefanos Tsitsipas, parting ways with Patrick Mouratoglou and Goran Ivanišević, one amicably and one not so amicably.

It was a historic Ladies’ Final on Centre Court — but probably not in the way anyone imagined when the day began. Iga Swiatek is your Wimbledon champion after a jaw-dropping 57-minute double bagel over Amanda Anisimova, wrapping up her sixth Grand Slam title in ruthless style. It’s the first time we’ve seen a women’s final won 6-0, 6-0 since Steffi Graf crushed Natalia Zvereva at the 1988 French Open. Joel and Chris are here to break down exactly what went down in a match everyone thought would be much tighter. They’ll chat about what this win means for Swiatek’s season and why she’s just so unstoppable when it matters most at majors, having lost only two games across her semi-final and final at The Championships. And what about Anisimova? How does she pick herself up from such a tough loss — and can we expect to see her back on this stage anytime soon? Plus, there was even more history on the doubles court: Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool pulled off the first all-British men’s doubles title in 89 years.

Kim and Chris catch up on the men's semi final action from Day 12 at Wimbledon, which saw Jannik Sinner deliver a commanding performance at Wimbledon today, defeating Novak Djokovic in straight sets to reach his first final at the All England Club. The Italian's aggressive baseline play and relentless pressure proved too much for the seven-time champion, whose movement appeared hampered. Earlier, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz battled past Taylor Fritz in four sets under scorching conditions on Centre Court. The result sets up a mouth-watering final between Sinner and Alcaraz on Sunday. Kim and Chris preview this blockbuster encounter, reflecting on how much the recent Roland Garros final result will weigh on Jannik Sinner's mind as he looks for revenge on his rival.

It’s Ladies’ Semifinals Day at Wimbledon — and it did not disappoint. Amanda Anisimova delivered one of the performances of the Championships, battling past World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a stunning upset. Join Joel and Chris as they break down why Sabalenka keeps stumbling at the business end of Grand Slams and unpack the remarkable story of Anisimova’s comeback after her mental health sabbatical. They also tackle the debate around Sabalenka’s so-called “dominance” — and whether ranking points alone tell the whole story. In the other semifinal, Iga Swiatek put on a ruthless clinic to dismantle Belinda Bencic and book her spot in her first Wimbledon final. The duo dig into what’s clicking in Swiatek’s grass-court game, whether she’s finally shed the “clay-court specialist” label, and how her experience in major finals could play a role against Anisimova, who’s about to contest her first. Plus, they preview the Men’s Semifinals: Novak Djokovic takes on Jannik Sinner in a Roland Garros rematch, while defending champion Carlos Alcaraz faces off against Taylor Fritz.

Day 10 at Wimbledon 2025 delivered thrilling quarterfinal action across the men’s and women’s singles draws. In the men’s quarterfinals, Novak Djokovic overcame a brief scare after slipping on match point to defeat Flavio Cobolli in four sets, 6-7, 6-2, 7-5, 6-4, earning his 14th Wimbledon semifinal appearance. Jannik Sinner, in commanding form despite earlier elbow issues, dispatched Ben Shelton 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 to set up a blockbuster semifinal against Djokovic. There was also a surprise retirement announce from another Italian - Fabio Fognini - on site after his whirlwind performance earlier in the tournament against Carlos Alcaraz. On the women’s side, Iga Swiatek reached her first Wimbledon semifinal with a solid win over Liudmila Samsonova, 6-2, 7-5. Joining her is Belinda Bencic, who edged out rising star Mirra Andreeva in two tight tiebreaks, 7-6, 7-6, continuing her impressive return to form as a new mother - but should this really be the narrative?

Quarterfinal action is underway, with the real Carlos Alcaraz delivering a Wimbledon masterclass on Centre Court to dispatch Great Britain’s Cam Norrie. Alcaraz will now face Taylor Fritz, who overcame a third-set stumble to defeat Karen Khachanov and reach his second Grand Slam semifinal in the last 12 months, climbing back to No. 4 in the live rankings. But is he too reliant on his canon of a serve? Meanwhile, electronic line-calling sparked more controversy when an errant ‘Fault!’ call disrupted a crucial point, adding to a growing list of technological mishaps this fortnight. On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka kept her quest for a maiden Wimbledon title alive with a dramatic, last-gasp win over grass-court specialist Laura Siegemund. Amanda Anisimova also booked her place in the semifinals — her first at a Grand Slam since 2019 — with a tense victory over Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to continue her stellar season. Joel and Chris also look ahead to the second day of quarterfinals and get up to speed on all the fallout from the past 24 hours since Jannik Sinner and Grigor Dimitrov abruptly exited the court.

Day 8 delivered drama and breakthroughs at SW19. Join Joel and Kim as they wrap up the day’s proceedings at Tennis Weekly HQ. Novak Djokovic clawed back from a 1–6 opening set to defeat Alex de Minaur in four, sustaining his run toward a record 25th Major. Jannik Sinner, despite trailing two sets, advanced after Grigor Dimitrov heartbreakingly retired with a pectoral injury—a win Sinner called bittersweet. Meanwhile, Ben Shelton and Italy’s Flavio Cobolli secured their first-ever quarter-final spots with impressive victories over Lorenzo Sonego and Marin Čilić. On the women’s side, Belinda Bencic made a strong post-maternity return by upsetting seeded Ekaterina Alexandrova, Mirra Andreeva became the youngest quarter-finalist since 2007 with a compelling win over Emma Navarro, and Iga Świątek continued cruising past a below-par Clara Tauson. Liudmila Samsonova also sent the young Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro packing in two tight sets. They also look ahead to the start of the Quarterfinal action on Day 9 which sees home hope Cameron Norrie take on the two time defending Champion Carlos Alcaraz on Centre Court, and Aryna Sabalenka up against tour veteran Laura Siegemund in the German’s first Grand Slam singles QF.

Day 7 of Wimbledon and the quarterfinals are shaping up with Carlos Alcaraz defeating Andrey Rublev to extend his unbeaten run at Wimbledon to 18. He will face another tough test in Cam Norrie who won an epic in possibly the match of the championships against Nicolas Jarry in 5 sets on Court One. Needless to say home hope Cam will have to trade his favourite court one for Centre court to face the two time defending Champion in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon. Also making it through to the quarterfinals stage is Karen Khachanov and Taylor Fritz. Fritz playing just 10 games before Jordan Thompson was forced to retire through injury. Fritz will be hoping to go one better and make the Wimbledon semifinals after bowing out at this stage last year to Lorenzo Musetti. On the women’s side, it is still very possible that another American woman might pick up a grand slam title after Amanda Anisimova set up match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova who dashed British hopes by defeating Sonay Kartal despite the line calling system going down and going against the more seasoned competitor. World Number 1, Aryna Sabalenka who took out her former doubles partner Elise Mertens in round 4 and will face veteran Laura Siegemund in the quarters. Sabalenka will be hoping to add a Wimbledon title to her collection after missing the championships through injury last year.

Century up! Wimbledon Day 6 is in the books — join Kim and Chris as they reflect on another milestone day for Novak Djokovic, who glided into the fourth round and notched his 100th match win at Wimbledon on Centre Court. Jannik Sinner also enjoyed a comfortable win, cruising past an injured Pedro Martinez, while Marin Cilic continued his strong grass-court form. Grigor Dimitrov reached his own milestone with his 100th Grand Slam match win, and the ever-consistent Alex De Minaur booked yet another second-week Slam appearance - he’s now reached the last 16 in 7 of the last 8 Slams. It was a dramatic day on the women’s side too, sparking debate among the team: is Iga Swiatek now the favourite from the bottom half of the draw to reach the final? And what’s with all the pasta and strawberries? There were tears as defending champion Barbora Krejcikova fell to Emma Navarro, guaranteeing an eighth consecutive new women’s champion at Wimbledon. Why is it so hard to defend the women’s title? The team weighs in. Meanwhile, hot favourite Elena Rybakina was also sent packing by Clara Tauson, seemingly unsettled by her No. 2 Court assignment. Should she have been on Centre or No. 1 Court — and should it have made a difference? Whilst teen sensation Mirra Andreeva breezed through to R4 to get the team thinking just how influential it is to have a previous champion in Conchita Martinez by your side.

A blockbuster Friday for British tennis came to a close with Emma Raducanu producing one of her best performances since her US Open title run in 2021, pushing Aryna Sabalenka all the way in two tight sets under the Centre Court lights. Join Kim and Chris as they break down Raducanu’s display, what it means now that she’ll drop to British No. 3, and whether the match was a good advert for women’s night sessions (ahem, Amélie Mauresmo and Roland Garros). It wasn’t all doom and gloom for the Brits either, as Cam Norrie and Sonay Kartal continued their strong form to book spots in the fourth round. Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz survived a stern test from the powerful Jan-Lennard Struff to avoid another five-set battle, while Taylor Fritz added another four-set win to his tally — and this time was able to actually wrap things up in broad daylight. Ben Shelton needed just over a minute to complete perhaps the quickest overnight return at Wimbledon, sealing victory against Rinky Hijikata in just over 60 seconds. There was disappointment for big names too, with Australian Open champion Madison Keys falling meekly with illness a factor and Naomi Osaka suffering an agonising defeat, missing a golden chance for a deep Slam run. History was made, though, as lucky loser Solana Sierra became the first female lucky loser ever to reach Wimbledon’s fourth round.

Day 4 of Wimbledon 2025 delivered high drama, standout performances and a deflating day for the Brits. Jack Draper lost out to veteran Marin Cilic who rolled back the years and reminded us just why he is a Grand Slam champion and a former Wimbledon finalist. It leaves Jack Draper once again coming unstuck against a 10/10 opponent and not quite living up to the hype at Majors which the gang discuss. Novak Djokovic also showed no signs of slowing down as he defeated Britain’s Dan Evans convincingly, exacting revenge on that Monte Carlo reverse in 2021. Does he look the best he has done in his quest for Grand Slam 25? Quite possibly. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner also cruised past Aleksandar Vukic in straight sets. In the women’s draw, Iga Swiatek (and resident Wimbledon towel thief) staged a strong comeback against Caty McNally, and defending champion Barbora Krejcikova advanced after a tough battle with Caroline Dolehide. Elena Rybakina and rising star Mirra Andreeva also booked spots in the third round with Joel assessing the teen queen's chances on grass after she stated earlier in the year that the surface is her least favourite. We also look ahead to the epic showdown of Sabalenka vs. Raducanu and wonder just how much can the British crowd try and get into the Belarusian's head as the third round kicks off.

Rain may have dampened the grounds at the All England Club early on Wednesday, but it did little to quell the drama as Wimbledon 2025’s Day 3 served up upsets, star performances, and homegrown triumphs. Centre Court was abuzz as Emma Raducanu delivered a commanding performance against 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova. With aggressive baseline play and composure under pressure, Raducanu sealed a 6-3, 6-3 victory to book her spot in Round 3—reaffirming her form and igniting hopes of a bit of a run on home turf. Next up, the World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Joining her in advancing was fellow Brit Cameron Norrie, who battled past 12th seed Frances Tiafoe in four sets, showcasing grit and shot-making under pressure. Meanwhile, young wildcard Oliver Tarvet, though defeated by defending champion Carlos Alcaraz, earned admiration with a spirited showing in front of a supportive home crowd. The day also brought surprises, with fourth seed Jasmine Paolini crashing out at the hands of Kamilla Rakhimova which means that four of the top five women's seeds are out inside three days (!). Another Brit hopeful, Katie Boulter was also edged out in disappointing fashion by Solana Sierra, an Argentinian lucky loser.

It’s been another long, hot day at Wimbledon with the fans on Centre Court and No. 1 Court. Join Joel and Kim as they discuss Sinner opening with some serious serving stats whilst Draper made light work of Baez who still hasn’t won a tour level grass match since Eastbourne 2023. They also get to the bottom of the beef that broke Round 1 between Fritz and Perricard and just why their match was stopped last night and whether that was the right decision. However the seed exodus continued with last year’s semifinalist Lorenzo Musetti and Halle champ Alexander Bublik suffering surprise defeats along with Alexander Zverev whose poor showings at Wimbledon continues. On the women’s side, French Open champion Coco Gauff suffered another early exit at the hands of dangerous Dayan Yastremska. Defending champion Barbora Krejickova overcame a slow start against up and coming Alexandra Eala in three sets but two-time former champion Petra Kvitova made her final Wimbledon bow in defeat to Emma Navarro. It wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Americans as recent Bad Homburg champion (and avid Call of Duty gamer) Jessica Pegula was dismissed along with Queen’s semi finalist Qinwen Zheng. They also unveil the gang’s Collect a Set predictions for the tournament and look ahead to Day 3 with Carlos Alcaraz returning against Britain’s newest surprise package Oliver Tarvet.

Feeling hot, hot, hot! Wimbledon Day 1 is in the books, so why not join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ to catch up on all the action from an enthralling opening day’s play. Carlos Alcaraz had everyone sweating — and not just because of the weather — as he battled through a scratchy five-set win over Italian veteran Fabio Fognini, who hadn’t won on the ATP Tour since October. The Brits also had a ball on Day 1, with a record seven players already through to Round 2. This included the top three British women — Raducanu, Boulter, and Kartal — with Boulter and Kartal both upsetting higher-seeded opponents in Badosa and former Grand Slam champion Ostapenko. The fairytale run of Oliver Tarvet continued too, as he set up a blockbuster Round 2 clash with Alcaraz — though he won’t be able to keep any of his prize money. There were sad scenes as former finalist Ons Jabeur retired, announcing she would ‘disconnect’ from tennis for now. Two-time semifinalist and recent Halle finalist Daniil Medvedev also bowed out unexpectedly. Meanwhile, Sabalenka and Gauff put their recent animosity behind them… with a TikTok dance. Join us as we look ahead to Day 2, with Sinner, Draper, and Djokovic all headlining the action!

Wimbledon! The Championships are upon once again with a lot to live up to after THAT dramatic finale at Roland Garros. Join the gang at Tennis Weekly HQ as they react to the men's and women's draws, dish out some dodgy predictions and unveil Collect a Set player picks. On the men's side, the question on everyone's lips might be will we get another edition of the Carlos Alcaraz - Jannik Sinner rivalry? Joel's not so sure and whilst Carlitos has been handed a pretty routine draw on paper, Jannik Sinner got some trick battles including a potential all Italian quarterfinal with Lorenzo Musetti, last year's semifinalist. Great British hope Jack Draper also got dealt a nightmarish draw with both his French Open conqueror Alexander Bublik and Queen's conqueror Jakub Mensik in his section along with Novak Djokovic who has been in the last SIX Wimbledon finals. On the women's side, can Aryna Sabalenka finally get over the finish line and win a Grand Slam title this season? In her way is a potential R3 showdown with Britain's Emma Raducanu or former champion Market Vondrousova who got the better of her recently in Berlin. French Open champion Coco Gauff also may have hoped for a kinder draw with a tricky opening against Nottingham finalist Yastremska with Rybakina and Swiatek lurking close by. The team also discuss prize money as Britain's Oliver Tarvet will NOT be allowed to claim his prize money of at least £66,000 due to still being in college in America.

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.

The grass court season has officially begun—and there’s no time to catch your breath after that epic Alcaraz vs. Sinner Roland Garros final! Join Joel, Kim, and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they dive into a jam-packed first week of action on the lawns. From Tatjana Maria’s fairytale run as a qualifier to win the first WTA event at Queen’s in over 50 years, to Elise Mertens saving 11 match points in the Netherlands, there’s no shortage of drama. Is Maria one of the last true grass court specialists? And what makes her so tricky for power players like Keys and Rybakina? The trio also breaks down Taylor Fritz’s continued dominance over Zverev in Stuttgart, Emma Raducanu’s headline-grabbing claim that she’s “not playing for money,” and the LTA’s push for prize money parity at Queen’s by 2029. Plus, there’s a fresh round of Par for the Courts, and a heated Mailbag debate over Qinwen Zheng’s suspicious shoe malfunctions or whether it's just a bit of bad PR for the Nike trainer department.

And breathe. One of the GOAT Grand Slam finals of recent times brings the curtains down on another year of Roland Garros. It may even be just one of the best tennis match EVER. It really was that good and all the more reason to join Joel, Kim and Chris who look back on the sheer EPICNESS that was Carlos Alcaraz’s back from the brink victory over Jannik Sinner in the 2025 Roland Garros final, winning 4–6, 6–7(4), 6–4, 7–6(3), 7–6(10–2). In a gruelling five-hour, 29-minute battle—the longest French Open final in history—Alcaraz overturned a two-set deficit and saved multiple championship points in the fourth set before triumphing in a super tiebreak. The win marked Alcaraz’s fifth Grand Slam title and second consecutive Roland Garros crown, maintaining his perfect 5–0 record in major finals. The match further fueled the growing rivalry between Alcaraz and Sinner, symbolizing an emerging new era in men's tennis following the reign of the Big 3. The gang look back on the key factors playing a part in the final, what this means for Wimbledon plus the rest of the year, and compare Sinner’s reaction in defeat to that of Aryna Sabalenka from Saturday’s ladies singles final. They also round up the top moments from the men’s 2025 tournament with some more Tennis Weekly awards, reflect on some of the British success at doubles, wheelchair and junior events, and reveal the latest winner of the Collect A Set challenge, before taking a sneak preview of the grass court action unfolding at the Queen’s Club this week which sees a ladies event return to London for the first time after a very long hiatus.

Goodness gracious Gauff! The American has won her first ever Roland Garros title and second overall Grand Slam singles crown with a Parisian rollercoaster of a victory against the World Number 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they reflect on the final in Paris and begin to unpack where the battle was won and lost. The duo talk about those *70* unforced errors that came off the Belarusian’s racket and what makes the Gauff match up such a tricky test for her. They question whether Sabalenka needs a better Plan B and whether the pressure of finals is having an impact with now 2 Grand Slam finals defeats in a row leaving her overall record 3-3. As for Coco Gauff, it was cool, calm and composed tennis matched by the American’s athleticism that got Joel and Chris really talking about how good she has become in these moments… at just 21 years of age. They look ahead to Wimbledon and debate what each can hope to achieve on the grass courts of SW19 with Gauff’s record best a trio of R4 appearances in 2019, 2021 and 2024.

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!

The semi-final picture is nearly set at Roland-Garros, as Kim and Chris catch up on the Quarter Finals of Roland Garros 2025! Among the semifinalists, we see a mix of familiar faces and standout surprises. Top seeds like Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz have delivered on expectations—but it’s the emergence of local French Wild Card Lois Boisson that has captured the hearts of fans. The 21-year-old Frenchwoman, playing in her first-ever Grand Slam, continued her dream run today by upsetting teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva to book a place in the semi-finals. From unknown to unstoppable, Boisson is rewriting the script in Paris. They also discuss the lack of default for Lorenzo Musetti during his 4 set win over Frances Tiafoe after he accidentally kicked a ball thus hitting a line judge. Other players have been defaulted for less - should he have been too? Kim and Chris also discuss the ongoing debate around the lack of women’s night matches scheduled at Roland Garros, with all four women’s quarter finals being longer than the whitewash that was Carlos Alcaraz v Tommy Paul, lending further critique to Amelie Mauresmo’s comments around the rationale for night session scheduling! They also weigh in on who they think will make the finals at Roland-Garros, looking ahead to the semi finals over the coming days.

Football meets Tennis as Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) celebrate their Champions League Triumph at Roland-Garros as Ousmane Dembélé brings the cup to Philippe-Chatrier and Alina has a front row seat to see all the action....on the big screen. Someone who didn't even have that luxury was Novak Djokovic who was playing the Night Session match at the same time the football was on, meaning he head loud cheers every time Paris had scored and he couldn't believe they had scored 5 times against Inter to win. Alina and Chris also bring you their highlights from the week in media and the funny player interview clips that didn't make it into the pod yet, including Coco Gauff on Tommy Paul going fishing in his truck after training, Bublik calling Draper a UFC fighter and Qinwen Zheng telling the media what she gets up to in her spare time and it sounds fun, if you like dancing and singing, dancing and shopping!

Brits, over and out. It’s been another thrilling last couple of days at Roland Garros so why not join Joel and Kim as they take stock on all the Round 4 action in Paris. Jack Draper fell to a red-hot drop shotting maestro Alexander Bublik to bring his campaign to an abrupt end whilst Cam Norrie failed to match his Geneva performance with a straight sets defeat to Novak Djokovic who won his 100th (!) singles match at the French Open. Elsewhere, Iga Swiatek brought herself back from the brink with a hard thought three set win over Elenea Rybakina. Does it prove she is still the Queen of Clay or are there bigger tests to come? And in one of the stories so far, French wildcard No. 361 ranked Lois Boisson pulled off a stunning upset over Jessica Pegula to book her spot in the quarterfinals versus Mirra Andreeva. Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka also cruised through once again without dropping a set. Joel and Kim also give a midway Collect a Set update and it’s a historic moment but not for the right reasons… PROPERTY HUB INVEST If you’re serious about property, head to https://propertyhub.net/start to take your first step.

Week 2 at Roland Garros is here, and Tennis Weekly has everything you need to get caught up ahead of the action in Paris. On the men’s side, Jack Draper dismantled rising star João Fonseca to join fellow Brit Cam Norrie against a backdrop of PSG football fireworks in the last 16, while Djokovic, Sinner, and Zverev cruise through — and Carlos Alcaraz survived another mid match hiccup to win through. In the women’s draw, Elena Rybakina routed Jelena Ostapenko to set up a mouthwatering showdown with Iga Swiatek, and for the first time in decades, all top 8 seeds remain in contention heading into Week 2. It was also a historic occasion for Team USA as they had 8 players into Round 4 of Roland Garros for the first time in forty years. Plus, Chris returns from Paris, with plenty of stories from the clay to share including Amalie Mauresmo's comments on the continued absence of women from the night session.

Bonjour from Roland-Garros, well we should say the Jardin du Luxembourg for a special edition of Tennis Weekly Journal as Alina and Chris have ventured into the city and found the local tennis courts. On today's episode they cover the epic match between Gael Monfils and Jack Draper that lit up the Night session and Philippe-Chatrier in one of the matches of the tournament. They debate the French Open crowd, asking if they go too far after they helped a clearly injured Arthur Fils hobble over the line against an increasingly irritated Jaume Munar on Court Suzanne Lenglen. Would he have won without the crowd? Alina doesn't think so and neither does Arthur. As well as the on court action, the Night Session being exclusively reserved for Men's matches has become a hot topic once again. Will there ever be a solution and can a solution be found whilst the Prime tennis contract exists in France? Alina and Chris try to provide some context on the increasingly repetitive and polarising topic as it isn't as simple as scheduling a women's match in the night session slot. As well as the more thought provoking topics, in true Tennis Weekly Journal style there is fun to be had as Alina and Chris recount their galette experience at lunch and the debate is settled, in future it's sugar and butter for them!

The gang’s all here! Joel, Kim and Chris return to serve up all the drama from Round 2 of Roland-Garros 2025 — and what a rollercoaster it’s been! It was heartbreak for the British women as all three bowed out, but there’s still hope on the men’s side with a surprise all-Brit clash now set between Fearnley and Norrie. Meanwhile, Jack Draper lit up the Parisian night in a sizzling showdown with crowd-favourite Gael Monfils — and did his best to dodge a 5th set thriller! Emotions ran high as French maestro Richard Gasquet bid adieu to the sport on Court Philippe-Chatrier, falling to World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. 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!). And don’t miss our pick for Round 3: Ostapenko vs Rybakina — it's going to be fire!

Your third podcast postcard from the Paris at the French Open from Alina and Chris, who covering all the behind the scenes action from Roland-Garros including Coco Gauff forgetting her rackets but remembering her custom New Balance leather jacket for the walk out! They also put questions to Jack Draper and Iga Swiatek with varying degrees of success. Jack won his first match at Roland-Garos and made it clear he has goals much bigger than round 2 at the clay court slam. He will have to tackle home favourite Gael Monfils playing his second Night match in a row. Novak Djokovic was also in action and there was some serious debate on court about whether to close the roof or not to which he and the crowd said PLEASE close it! Alina and Chris debate how they would feel if they got wet on a court WITH a roof. Finally Chris asks Iga Swiatek about saving all the break points she faced against Emma Raducanu and Iga well, didn't have an answer and was 'sorry for that' but either way the lesson was learned, don't lead with a statistic!

Drama, delight and double bagels! It can only mean one thing... the French Open Round 1 catch up at Roland Garros with Joel and Kim. It's been a Brit bonanza in Paris, with 6 of 7 sailing into Round 2 – including Emma Raducanu, who now faces defending champ Iga Swiatek in a blockbuster showdown. Cameron Norrie also pulled off the upset of the round, outlasting Medvedev in five, while Jack Draper kept cool to seal a confident 4-set win. Elsewhere, big names like Sinner, Alcaraz, Sabalenka, Gauff, and Djokovic (fresh off his 100th career title!) breezed through – but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for the Americans, with Taylor Fritz and Emma Navarro crashing out early. Plus, Vika Azarenka dished out a ruthless double bagel, Caroline Garcia said her final singles farewell at her home Slam, and Roland Garros paid an emotional tribute to the King of Clay himself, Rafael Nadal, with the Big 4 reuniting to honour his legacy.

On Day 2 at Roland Garros, Chris and Alina were courtside for Emma Raducanu winning return to Paris as she overcame sickness to beat Wang Xinyu in three sets. She also let it be known that she doesn't agree with the scheduling for practice sessions and would like to practice on bigger courts. That won't be a problem for Emma as in her next round she faces three time defending champion Iga Swiatek. Iga revealed the advice that Rafa gave her when he lost to Novak in 2021 that "it's just tennis" there will be another chance. Novak Djokovic also reveals what Andy Murray said to him in the tunnel during the Rafa celebration after he won title 100 immediately after their split and they touch upon the tricky day at the office Naomi Osaka had before they preview Day 3.

What an emotional first day at Roland Garros as Rafael Nadal said goodbye to the tournament he won 14 times with the help of the Big Four, as Djokovic, Federer and Murray helped honour one of the greatest of all time and there were tears.

It’s a milestone moment at Tennis Weekly HQ as we celebrate our 500th episode! Join us for a special edition with Joel, Kim and Chris on hand to look back on all the events from Week 2 at the Italian Open plus look ahead to the French Open. In Rome, the electric rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz reignited once again, with Carlitos emerging victorious to stop the Italian's 26 match winning streak. Jasmine Paolini thrilled the home crowd by doing the singles and doubles double while Coco Gauff came up just short again in another clay final and Sabalenka suffered a straight sets surprise to Qinwen Zheng. Off the court, Novak Djokovic made headlines by ending his coaching partnership with Andy Murray after just six months, and the Laver Cup revealed fresh names for 2025, including Holger Rune and João Fonseca who are set to make their debut in San Francisco. The gang also reflect on some of their favourite moments of the podcast as they hit 500 (Venus Williams! Timea Bacsinszky! Joel at Glastonbury!) and reveal the winners of the Rafael Nadal 'The Warrior' book competition. With 500 events also underway in Strasbourg and Hamburg, Joel ponders whether this is one of the best weeks on the tour to pick up some big and easy ranking points if you are an out of form player (ahem, Andrey Rublev).

Paris... Roland Garros... French Open... with the second Grand Slam of the season just around the corner, we bring you a special episode from Tennis Weekly HQ where we talk Spanish legend Rafael Nadal with renowned tennis journalist and author Christopher Clarey who gives us an honest and insightful portrayal of the King of Clay in his latest book: The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay. With Joel and Kim, Chris takes us behind the scenes of Rafa's relentless rise to dominance on clay, the psyche that defines his greatness, where the biggest impact Uncle Toni made on his game, what he feels were his sweetest triumphs at the French Open in Paris and much more. We also discuss the legacy he has built off of the red dirt at Wimbledon and whether the Roger Federer rivalry could happen one more time on the court. Whether you're a lifelong Nadal fan or simply fascinated by greatness (or should that be GOATness?), join us for the story of Rafael Nadal like never before told as we reflect on one of the sport's most iconic champions.

We're halfway through the Italian Open in Rome, and there’s been no shortage of drama in the final clay Masters event in the build up to the French Open in Paris. Joel and Chris are on hand at Tennis Weekly HQ to talk all about the return of the World Number 1 Jannik Sinner from suspension including the player and fan reaction. Carlos Alcaraz is also back, if a little under the radar after missing Madrid, but has got the pair pondering could we be in for another Sinner-Alcaraz ding dong? And if not, when? On the WTA side, It’s been another bumpy ride though on the clay for Iga Swiatek who suffered a early loss to Danielle Collins which put the chance of defending her Roland Garros title further into doubt whilst Coco Gauff proved why she could be the biggest threat to Aryna Sabalenka in Paris with a classy win over Emma Raducanu to make the quarterfinals. Outside of Rome, Novak Djokovic grabbed headlines with a wildcard entry into Geneva whilst his PTPA player union scored a legal win over the ATP. Plus, the Billie Jean King Cup Finals draw in Shenzhen is out as Great Britain were handed Japan - but who will be the British Number 1 leading the charge when September rolls around? We also break down what we’re looking forward as Week 2 in Rome gets underway and Joel is in the hot seat with nowhere to run in a solo edition of Par for The Courts.

So, SO close… this week at Tennis Weekly HQ, we unpack all the drama from a thrilling Week 2 at the Madrid Open! Jack Draper came agonizingly close to a second Masters title, but it was Casper Ruud who claimed the biggest win of his career in a gripping three-set final. On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka continued her dominance with a statement victory over Coco Gauff—could this be her year in Paris at the French Open? We also dive into Iga Swiatek’s struggles after a tough loss to Gauff, who now has won their last 3 encounters without dropping a set. With whispers of Swiatek potentially skipping Wimbledon and the grass court season entirely, we ask: what’s going on with the world No. 1, and is it time for a team shake-up? Elsewhere, Naomi Osaka picked up her first title in four years at a WTA 125 event which got the gang thinking in the Mailbag—which other big names should consider dropping down to rebuild confidence? Plus, we react to the latest doping-related suspension, this time involving Australia’s Max Purcell. Looking ahead, we preview the Italian Open in Rome, with Jannik Sinner after his suspension and Carlos Alcaraz returning to action while Novak Djokovic opts to sit this one out. The draws are in, the predictions are bold (and occasionally unhinged), and fan-favourite quiz segment Par for the Courts is back!

A dramatic Monday in Madrid as a power outage across Spain and Portugal cancelled play for the day at the Madrid Open. Join Joel, Kim and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they look back on all the events of the first week where Novak Djokovic lost for the third time in a row leaving us to question (for the umpteenth time) whether he is a serious prospect for another Grand Slam title with the French Open looming. It was also a similar story for defending champion Andrey Rublev who left Madrid with a 1-4 Masters record this year, falling out of the Top 15 for the first time since 2020. It was not all doom and gloom though as Maria Sakkari returned to form of old with a demolition job over Jasmine Paolini whilst Coco Gauff put Sunshine Swing disappointment behind her to set up a tantalising quarterfinal against teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva. The Brits also enjoyed a solid first week with Draper, Fearnley, Norrie all into R3 and Katie Boulter winning her first clay match on the WTA Tour. Emma Raducanu also revealed there is an 'informal agreement' in place with Mark Petchey on her team. And though Carlos Alcaraz wasn't in Madrid due to injury, his new docuseries Carlos Alcaraz: My Way launched on Netflix with the gang discussing what they learned about Carlitos (other than his mum being a really good cook). Joel's Game also makes a return and we question what should be done about Electronic Line Calling in this week's Mailbag as Alexander Zverev follows Aryna Sabalenka and take a photo of a dubious mark on the tennis court during his match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.

Penko Power returns! It’s been a week for upsets on the ATP and WTA Tours this week as Jelena Ostapenko and Holger Rune were the big winners in Stuttgart and Barcelona. The Latvian gave us a reminder of all her talents with wins over Sabalenka and Swiatek whilst Rune put Carlos Alcaraz to the sword and returns to the Top 10. Alexander Zverev also rediscovered form in Munich despite hecklers from the crowds over ongoing domestic abuse allegations whilst Elina Svitolina won out in Rouen. It wasn’t just all about the champions though this week, as Harrriet Dart was in the news for telling her opponent she needed some deodorant (bizarre!), there were wild celebrations from new kid on the ATP block Dedura-Palomero over a retirement win against Shapovalov and the coaching circus continues with Maria Sakkari getting back together with former coach Tom Hill. Off the court, Serena Williams had her say on the Jannik Sinner ban and brought Maria Sharapova into the debate whilst the French Open organisers announced there would be a special ceremony for Rafael Nadal at this year’s Roland Garros. The gang also preview the upcoming Madrid Masters as we go back to the two week format (eurgh!) and give their champion predictions.

Monte Carlo(s) Masters! Chris is back from Mallorca to join Joel and Kim to reflect on the past week in tennis, which saw Carlos Alcaraz claim his maiden Monte Carlo Masters Title on the ATP Tour against Italian Lorenzo Musetti. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic had a horrible week on the French Riviera with early defeat to his clay nemesis Alejandro Tabilo as did Grigor Dimitrov who suffered a double bagel loss at the hands of Alex de Minaur and his short shorts. Whilst it was an off week for many of the top players like Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka on the WTA Tour, an Emma Raducanu-less Great Britain side made their way through to the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen joining the likes of USA, Spain and defending champions Italy. The trio also discuss the latest coaching changes, as former World number 1 Dinara Safina joins Diana Schnaider’s team, Emma Raducanu considers Mark Petchey as her latest coaching option and there's rumour of Goran Ivanesevic joining the Stefanos Tsitsipas camp. There is also news that a certain Mr. Roger Federer is itching for a return to an exhibition tennis court which has got Joel wildly excited at the prospect of a Battle of the Surfaces 2 event against Rafael Nadal (one can dream right?). They also test their knowledge of recent WTA 1000 winners, make some daring clay court predictions and preview Stuttgart, Munich and Barcelona all taking place this week.

Clay season is upon us! Rejoice in the red (and green) dirt with Joel and Kim as they check in on the first week of action as part of the European / American Clay swing in the build up to the French Open at Roland Garros. It was an eventful seven days on the ATP and WTA Tours as Jessica Pegula clinched her first ever clay court title out in Charleston to put the disappointment of a final loss in Miami to Sabalenka behind her, whilst fellow American Jenson Brooksby fought his way to his maiden tour title in Houston as a qualifier wildcard saving multiple match points along the way! Italians Flavio Cobolli and Luciano Darderi also reversed their fortunes and won ATP 250 titles, whilst Camila Osorio defended her Bogota title on home turf at an event Joel questions whether should even exist in the first place. The duo also discuss the use of electronic line calling with Hawkeye on clay courts, upcoming development changes to Henman Hill for the 2027 Championships at Wimbledon, and recent calls for increased Grand Slam prize money from the ATP/WTA Top 20 players. Joel also teases Kim’s knowledge again on singular Masters winners, and they reflect on Jannik Sinner’s recent comments with Sky Italia about his ongoing ban from the Tour.

Sabalenka wins Miami as the Sunshine Swing ends with a downpour for Novak Djokovic as he lost out to 19 year old Jakob Mensik in straight sets. The title was Sabalenka’s first since that heartbreaking loss in the final of the Australian Open to Madison Keys and with it she cements her place a the top of the world rankings by opening up a 3000 point lead over No.2 Iga Swiatek. Swiatek went out to WC Alexandra Eala in another early shock loss for the former World No.1 and Joel, Kim and Chris question is it time for her to switch up her coach after not winning a title since Roland Garros last year? Elsewhere Djokovic declared his Miami form to be the best he had played since the Olympics where he won the gold medal, it wasn’t enough for him to win the title in Miami but it did prove that the Murray partnership is on an upward trajectory. There is a 2010s themed mailbag that puts Kim and Chris to the test and Joel talks his anguish when Tim Henman used to face off against Andy Murray in a ‘favourite vs favourite’ mailbag! They also preview the return to clay as Charleston gets under way and a number of 250s on the ATP Tour before the Monte Carlo Masters begins the clay court season proper next week.

Joel, Kim and Chris are back to catch up at the halfway point of the Miami Open, which has seen Indian Wells Champions Jack Draper and Mirra Andreeva bow out early, and Carlos Alcaraz enduring a surprise loss to a perennial David Goffin. Meanwhile, Britain’s Emma Raducanu earnt her first Top 10 win of the year and has made it through to the quarter-finals of a W1000 event for the first time in a upturn of her fortunes, whilst Novak Djokovic breaks his Lucky Loser curse to continue through the draw. The trio also dissect the fallout from the latest news that the PTPA have filed a 163 page lawsuit to tennis’s governing bodies, a move that PTPA co-founder Novak Djokovic has himself not got behind. They also reflect on some of the sport’s most unusual or one-sided H2Hs (in honour of Goffin’s over Alcaraz) and Joel tests Kim and Chris’s Miami Open knowledge with a timely Par for The Courts: Back and Forth edition.

JACK DRAPER! Need we say more. Ok if we must… We’re halfway into the Sunshine Swing and it’s been a very memorable couple of weeks for two individuals out in the desert of Palm Springs at Indian Wells. Join Joel, Kim and Chris as they get giddy with excitement over how the Brit secured the biggest title of his career to date whilst moving into the Top 10 rankings for the first time, in help thanks to a semifinal win over Carlos Alcaraz. The trio also ponder whether he is a genuine Major contender, could it happen at Wimbledon and is an ATP Tour Finals appearance on the cards. And it was just as blockbuster in the women’s event as Mirra Andreeva kept up her hot streak with back-to-back W1000 titles by getting the better of World Number 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final. The gang discuss just where the seventeen (!) year old sensation could go next and whether a No. 1 ranking is possible this season. They also look at what’s going on with Iga Swiatek as she let frustration spill out onto court with a ball bash towards a ball boy that left her without reaching a tour level final for ten months and counting. We also look ahead to the Miami Open with mens and womens draw previews, the usual spicy predictions and discuss Rafael Nadal’s sit down chat with Andy Roddick and decide for ourselves just what was Rafa’s second best surface. He thinks grass - we’re not so sure. Mysterious Player also returns with Joel hoping Kim doesn’t get it in such a quick time… Roland-Garros Hospitality with Sports, Travel and Hospitality Group To guarantee the best seats in the house with ticket-inclusive official hospitality, visit Roland-Garros 2025 | French Tennis Grand Slam | STH Group SOCIALS Follow us on Twitter , Instagram , TikTok and YouTube , plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com .

The Sunshine Swing is here and whilst it’s been relatively plain sailing for the top ranked women on the WTA Tour, it has been anything but for the men out in the desert. Join Joel and Chris for a midway catch-up as they discuss *another* lucky loser loss for Novak Djokovic out in Palm Springs, this time to Botic van de Zandschulp. It was also a tournament to forget for top seed Alexander Zverev whose hopes of becoming World Number 1 took another dent with Jannik Sinner still firmly in the driving seat. There was also a worrying setback for Nick Kyrgios as retirement rumours spread and Carlos Alcaraz got a big buzz from bumblebee fans in the crowd. On the women’s side, we wonder if this is two-time champ Iga Swiatek’s title to lose and who could potentially stop her with Sabalenka, Gauff and Rybakina all progressing. Madison Keys also returned for her first event back after becoming Australian Open champion and there was Great British success for lucky loser Sonay Kartal who was ready to pack her bags after a qualies defeat… but is now gearing up to face Aryna Sabalenka for a spot in the quarter-finals. We also discuss the WTA’s new maternity cover policy and the involvement of the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund plus we might have just the quickest Par For The Courts in Tennis Weekly history!

The Sunshine Swing is almost here as the ATP and WTA Tours gear up for the one-two hit of Indian Wells and the Miami Open. In the final week of build up events to Tennis Paradise out in Palm Springs, Stefanos Tsitsipas (with his mystery racket in tow) captured his first ever 500 title in Dubai to re-enter the ATP Top 10 whilst Emma Navarro dished out a very rare sighting - a 60 60 double bagel in a WTA Final at the Merida Open. There were also wins for Tomas Machac, Laslo Djere and Jessica Pegula who got a new tennis fan in the form of Oscar winner and Hollywood A-Lister Matthew McConaughey watching on from the cheap seats in Austin. We also had a look to see what Jannik Sinner has been up to whilst serving his doping ban (clue - it involves fashion shows and ski trips) plus react to the news his Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award nomination has been withdrawn and seemingly replaced by his rival Carlos Alcaraz. Elsewhere, we preview what’s ahead in Indian Wells and question whether this might just be the most open Masters event yet of the season with both the top women and men still searching for their very best form.

Tennis Weekly had an EXCLUSIVE scoop this week as we broke the story that tennis legend Venus Williams was NOT accepting the highly publicised wild card to Indian Wells after Chris and producer Alina attended an in person event with Venus in Denmark! Not only did the news story and Tennis Weekly catch the attention of tennis media WORLDWIDE but it also caught the attention of BNP Paribas Open Tournament Director Tommy Haas who after viewing our Instagram Story put out a statement to say he had been "informed" Venus wasn't accepting the wildcard. Interesting... In other news It was also another blockbuster week on the ATP and WTA Tours come to an end with Joel, Kim and Chris on hand to dissect it all at Tennis Weekly HQ. Mirra Andreeva came of age in Dubai with a string of sterling performances to crack the Top 10 for the first time. Andrey Rublev also rediscovered his mojo in Doha with his first 500 title since 2022 whilst Jack Draper also made the final on return from injury. Sebastien Baez defended his title in a raucous Rio where there were epic doubles scenes as Matos and Melo became the first Brazilian champions of the event infront of a packed home crowd (who said doubles was dead??). Off court, the fallout continues for both Jannik Sinner and Elena Rybakina. Novak Djokovic had his say on the Italian's doping ban and said 'favouritism' was at play whilst WADA said it was 'a million miles away from doping'. And the gang talk about the issue of safeguarding as Emma Raducanu was put into an uncomfortable situation in Dubai where she had to ask for a stalker to be removed during her match against Karolina Muchova. Elsewhere, Mysterious Player makes a long awaited return as Kim and Chris work together to reveal the tennis player past or present.

A blockbuster week on the ATP and WTA Tours concludes with the tennis world still reeling from World No. 1 Jannik Sinner’s three-month ban from the World Anti-Doping Agency. Joel, Kim, and Chris break down the latest developments, the timing of the announcement, and the potential ramifications for the sport. On the court, Amanda Anisimova claimed the biggest title of her career at the W1000 event in Dubai, while teenage sensation Joao Fonseca continued his meteoric rise by capturing the title in Buenos Aires. The team also explores why Jelena Ostapenko remains Iga Swiatek’s kryptonite, the ongoing drama surrounding Elena Rybakina and her suspended coach Stefano Vukov, and the swift return of Novak Djokovic to the tour in Doha—where he’s set to play both singles and doubles alongside a retiring Fernando Verdasco (who, admittedly, we didn’t realize hadn’t retired yet!). Plus, the US Open shakes up the mixed doubles event with a drastic overhaul that has divided the tennis community, and Joel’s game returns with a Canada-themed edition.

In a BREAKING NEWS edition of Tennis Weekly we cover the the latest in the Jannik Sinner doping affair after it was announced that Jannik Sinner has accepted a 3 month ban from WADA for testing positive for colostabol last year. The ban is effective from 9th February meaning he will miss the Sunshine Double but return in time for the French Open and Wimbledon as well as a warm up tournament at home in Rome. The case was set to go to trial on 16th and 17th of April and WADA were pushing for a 1-2 year ban finding Sinner was not at 'no fault or negligence' that his experienced team could have avoided Jannik Sinner being 'contaminated' with colostabol, a steroid, that led to two positive tests last year. Sinner was suspended for a matter of hours and days when both tests came to light and successfully appealed both decisions allowing to complete a full season and win two more Grand Slam titles. Joel and Chris discuss how the case was handled, why the change of heart for WADA as well as why it is possible for players to negotiate a ban that is so favourable to them that causes minimal disruption to their schedule and ranking. Does tennis have a serious transparency issue when it comes to doping? Let us know what you think of the resolution of this case!

Tennis meets Super Bowl! It's been another memorable week on and off the tennis circuit as hot off the press Serena Williams graced all our TV screens crip walking (!) to Kendrik Lamar at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Back on the tour, Carlos Alcaraz caught a cold as well as his first ever indoor hard court title with a win in Rotterdam to equal Rafael Nadal, and Belinda Bencic enjoying another successful week in Abu Dhabi, this time as a Mother, to win her 9th career title in just her fourth event back from maternity leave. Meanwhile, Denis Shapovalov stormed to the Dallas Open title, defeating 3 Top 10 players en route and reminding us all of his immense talents, whilst Anastasia Potapova clinched the Translyvania Open, an event at which we saw one of the most successful WTA players of the 2010s, Simona Halep, retire. Chris also tests Kim and Joel’s knowledge of indoor Champions with a new Par for The Courts, and they discuss all the recent tennis x Super Bowl madness on Super Bowl Sunday with the aforementioned Serena Williams popping up plus a Roger Federer TV ad spot with 'Elmo' from Sesame Street.

Your support keeps us going no matter how large or small is hugely appreciated, from listening to donating we couldn’t be more thankful to our audience! Now that the Australian Open is over it’s back to the tour and this week the main focus is the dramatic Davis Cup Qualifiers 1st Round which saw upset and drama pan out across the globe. The main focus was one particular incident between Belgium and Chile that quite literally left Christian Garin floored when Zizou Bergs charged at him and collided at a change of ends. On the ATP tour it was Felix Auger-Aliassime who came out on top after choosing to play the Open Occitanie instead of Davis Cup just for Canada. He won his 7th title in Montpelier and has now almost reversed his 0-8 record in finals and has gone 7-2 since 2022. Elsewhere on the WTA tour there was a maiden 500 victory for Ekaterina Alexandrova who defeated former Australian Open semi-finalist Dayana Yastremska in a hard fought final. Alexandrova even bageled Karolina Muchova on her way to the title. Joel and Chris also answer a mailbag involving Australian Open winner Madison Keys being removed from the entry list of the Austin Open due to a technicality and whether the WTA should be doing more to build the profile of 250s rather than just removing their star players that would mean bums on seats and money in the bank for the smaller tournaments.

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!

It's another Tennis Book Club, and in this edition we are joined by USA Today Bestselling Author Jenni L. Walsh. Jenni has written over 12 books including the bestselling 'Unsinkable' and now the future smash hit 'Ace, Marvel, Spy: A Novel of Alice Marble' . ‘Ace, Marvel Spy’ is based on the life of a very real, very incredible Alice Marble. She was a Trailblazer, superstar, activist, and spy! On the tennis court, Alice was an American tennis player who won 18 Grand Slam championships between 1936 and 1940: five in singles (including Wimbledon), six in women's doubles, and seven in mixed doubles.

The Asian swing is in full flow and what a treat we had in Beijing as Carlos Alcaraz battled back from the brink to defeat World Number 1 Jannik Sinner in a final set tiebreak. And that wasn't even the biggest news of the week for the Italian who expressed his 'surprise' at the World Anti-Doping Agency looking for a lengthy ban over his positive drug tests. Elsewhere in Beijing, the WTA has reached the quarter-finals stage as Sabalenka continues to run riot whilst Paula Badosa is also making a charge up the ranking towards the Top 10. But there was despair for Naomi Osaka who retired against Coco Gauff with a back injury. And finally, there was more positive news for Wimbledon as they got the green light for a 39 court expansion with their ambition to create a three week festival of tennis in SW19.

Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka have made it two hard court slams from two this year, with straight sets victories over first time American finalists Taylor Fritz and Jessica Pegula respectively.

Semis, semis, semis and there was a bit of everything on show at the US Open - including a bit of Jack Draper vom on the tennis court. That aside, it was Jannik Sinner who reached his first Grand Slam final in Flushing Meadows with a straight sets victory over the Brit in conditions that pushed both competitors to the limit. And the Italian will go on to face Taylor Fritz who became the first American since 2009 to reach a Major final (Andy Roddick at Wimbledon!) with a five set win over Frances Tiafoe who was running on empty by the end. And in the women’s draw, we may not have got the Battle of the Billionaire daughters but Jessica Pegula powered into her debut Slam final with a three set win over Karolina Muchova to set up an intriguing duel with Aryna Sabalenka who is chasing her second Major title of the season.

The Americans are coming for a US Open title with 4 American players into the last 4 across the men’s and women’s events. Could it be an all American double and one of Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe taking home the title along with Jessica Pegula or Emma Navarro? Trying to stop the American party in New York is World Number 1 Jannik Sinner who got his revenge over Daniil Medvedev for his Wimbledon loss and set up a semi-final against Britain’s Jack Draper. Draper is the first British player to make the semi-final’s since Andy Murray won the title in 2012. Can he match the achievement this weekend? Elsewhere Karolina Muchova made it into the last 4 for the second successive year having missed the first two slams of the season through injury. She had to battle a stomach bug as well as Haddad Maia but made sure she sealed her place in the last 4.

The second week is set at the US Open in Flushing Meadows, without Novak Djokovic or Carlos Alcaraz. Words we never thought we would be saying! Alexei Popyrin got his revenge after losing to Novak Djokovic twice at slams already this year. This means Novak Djokovic is without a slam for the first time since 2017 and the first time since 2002 that one of the Big 3 have not won a slam. Now that the draw has opened it up it presents a big opportunity for slam winner Jannik Sinner and Daniil Medvedev as well as home hopes Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe to be the first US male winner since Andy Roddick in 2004! On the women’s side the top seeds had no trouble racing through to Week 2, with Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, Sabalenka and Paolini all breezing through to Round 4. Muchova and Wozniacki are on the comeback trail and have made it to the fourth round for the second year in a row despite not having the most time on court in preparation. Joel and Chris also look ahead to some of next week’s clashes and revisit their Tennis Weekly predictions and make new ones based on the form of the top players in Week 1 and the luck of the draw in New York.

Joel and Kim are here to catch up on the second round action from Flushing Meadows in New York City, with the US Open now well underway in the hot, hot heat. Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton have made their way through to setting up a highly anticipated US Open rematch in the 3rd round after their comfortable wins in the round of 64. Meanwhile, top seeds Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner safely progress, with Djokovic clocking up yet another milestone with 90 match wins now achieved at each of the 4 Grand Slams. With Wimbledon Champion Barbora Krejickova ousted by Elena-Gabriela Ruse, and Karolina Pliskova retiring after 3 points against Jasmine Paolini, it hasn’t been the best of days for the Czech ladies. Harriet Dart and Katie Boulter also bow out, leaving no British women in the third round. Joel and Kim also touch upon the epic first round encounter between Dan Evans and Karen Khachanov which has become the longest ever match in US Open history, and reflect on Emma Raducanu’s disappointing US Open and what has contributed to her poor result here yet again.

The tennis world is in a state of SHOCK... as it's announced World Number 1 Jannik Sinner has escaped a drugs ban after two failed tests earlier in the year. Join Joel and Chris as they react to this bombshell news that has rocked the ATP Tour as they get to grips with what it means, how the locker room have reacted (Nick Kyrgios has unsurprisingly not held back!), what will tennis fans think and what impact will this news have on Sinner's chances at the US Open which begins in just over a week's time. It had been a stellar week for the Italian as he captured his second M1000 title of the season in Cincinnati along with Aryna Sabalenka who steam-rolled her way to the women's title without dropping a set to rise back up to Number 2 in the world on the WTA Tour. Elsewhere, Carlos Alcaraz got ANGRY and smashed up a racket for the first time in his career (probably) and it was a week to forget for umpire Greg Allensworth with big match point controversy for Jack Draper and Felix Auger Aliassime. It's all hotting up for the US Open so join us to cool off - and see how Chris does in the latest instalment of Joel's game!

This wasn’t the case though for British Tennis as the Brits endured a miserable few days on the clay.

All good swings come to an end as we're back to wrap up both the Middle Eastern and Golden Swings on the ATP and WTA Tours. The WTA1000 event in Dubai saw a surprise winner in Jasmine Paolini whilst top seeds Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff both fell at the hands of eventual finalist Anna Kalinskaya. Meanwhile, in Doha, Karen Khachanov fended off Next Gen breakout star Jakub Mensik to capture his sixth career title, and out in Los Cabos Jordan Thompson came back from the brink to win double crowns in dramatic style. Sebastian Baez also picked up another title on the clay with a solid week in Rio. Kim also tests Joel and Chris with a difficult Mysterious Player, and the trio discuss the upcoming Netflix Slam in Las Vegas as well as Holger Rune and Patrick Mouratoglou’s rekindled coaching relationship.

Joel and Kim are back to discuss the men’s and women’s quarter final action from Melbourne Park, as the Australian Open heads into its latter stages and Champions await to be crowned. With Sascha Zverev dispatching Carlos Alcaraz with a serving masterclass, Daniil Medvedev triumphing (and not on a plane home!) in 5 over Hubert Hurkacz, and Novak Djokovic finally winning a break point to send Taylor Fritz packing, and Jannik Sinner continuing his seamless run through the draw against Andrey Rublev we have our Final 4 players lined up to battle it out come Friday. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff will meet again for the second Grand Slam in a row, albeit coming through their respective semi finals over Barbora Krejickova and Marta Kostuyk in very different fashions. The winner of that tie will await a First Time Slam Finalist of 12th seed Qinwen Zheng or qualifier Dayana Yastremska who continued their deep runs with wins over Anna Kalinskaya and Linda Noskova. Joel and Kim also commend Rohan Bopanna on reaching World No.1 in the Men’s Doubles rankings for the first time at the ripe old age of 43, a new record for the sport plus promising signs for Rafael Nadal returning to the tour in Doha next month.

Seeds are tumbling in the women’s draw leaving Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka the sole survivors, both hungry to pick up Grand Slam title number 2. In the way of a semi-final repeat of the US Open Final are Barbora Krejčíková and Marta Kostyuk. Elsewhere there was heartbreak for Elina Svitolina but Ukrainian hopes were kept alive by Dayana Yastremska who continues her dream run down under. On the men’s side Sinner, Alcaraz and Djokovic made serene progress whilst Zverev, Fritz and Rublev were made to work. With the top 6 seeds all still in the draw for the first time in the Open Era, there has never been a tougher last 8 at the Australian Open. Joel and Chris also make their predictions for the quarter-finals and announce the winner of Collect-A-Set!

With top seed Iga Swiatek out at the hands of rising Czech star Linda Noskova and in form Grigor Dimitrov falling to the relatively unknown Portuguese Nuno Borges, it was a round of some surprises. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic got his campaign back on track with a straight sets win over Etcheverrry (and becoming the first player to play 100 matches at all 4 slams in the process) and Aryna Sabalenka opened her own bakery with a dominant double bagel against Lesia Tsurenko. They also discuss Britain’s Cam Norrie getting the better of Casper Ruud to make the 4th round for the first time down under, Qinwen Zheng coming through an all Chinese showcase on Rod Laver Arena and Arthur Cazaux proving the wildcard doubters wrong by storming into the second week with a comfortable straight sets win over Griekspoor.

Joel and Kim are back to catch up on all the Round 2 action from the Australian Open, which saw a 03:40am finish for Daniil Medvedev, the longest tiebreak in women’s Grand Slam history and a storming victory for young talent Mirra Andreeva over Ons Jabeur. With Elena Rybakina falling in epic fashion to Anna Blinkova, Iga Swiatek saving the day against Danielle Collins, and Jessie Pegula and Maria Sakkari falling in straight sets to unseeded opponents, it has been a topsy-turvy round for female seeds. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic came through a rough 4 set battle with Aussie Alexei Popyrin (and the crowd!), Daniil Medvedev played all night to comeback in 5 and Holger Rune’s tournament hopes end ed at the hands of French wildcard Arthur Cazaux.

There's also news of Alexander Zverev's trial date set for during the French Open and a polite debate on the merits of the Australian Open's new rule to allow fans in at the end of every game.

In their first catch up of the 2024 season, Joel, Kim and Chris are back to round up the first week of action on the ATP and WTA tours, including Germany’s dramatic victory over Poland to win the United Cup in Sydney and the exciting return of Rafa Nadal and Naomi Osaka in Brisbane. With Elena Rybakina winning in supreme fashion in Brisbane, Iga Swiatek continuing her win streak at the United Cup and Coco Gauff defending her Auckland title, the women’s field is hotting up as we approach the first Grand Slam of the year. Meanwhile, Rafa reappeared on tour in Brisbane only to withdraw from the Australian Open with a new onset injury, whilst Emma Raducanu also took her first steps back on court with a return in Auckland. They also discuss the recent controversy surrounding the varying (and debatably damaging) tennis balls used on tour, and Rodionova’s wildcard snub at the hands of Tennis Australia, whilst the trio also boldly predict their Slam and Olympic Champions for the season as well as the Year End No.1’s.

The Tennis Weekly Trio have access all areas at the UTS Grand Final and are bringing you all the behind the scenes action. We sit down with UTS winner Jack Draper to talk Andy Murray's UTS nickname, ask Andrey Rublev about his 'Rublo' clothing launch and Rafael Nadal's return + Holger Rune tells us about his Nike 'short shorts' collaboration. We also cover the results which saw hometown hero Jack Draper take home the lightning bolt trophy and the biggest paycheque of his career. He defeated Holger Rune twice in 3 days to secure the title and make his 'Power' namesake Phil Taylor proud. As well as the on court action we also debate some of the behaviours of the players with dramatic scenes in the semi-final between Andrey Rublev and Holger Rune over a bonus card and an umpire decision that caused on court chaos. There are also lighter moments from the press room where Casper Ruud reveals the only song that he wiggles to and Joel gets tips from the beard supremo himself Benoit Paire. This episode was produced by Alina Soponar. __________________ TENNIS WEEKLY CROWDFUND: https://www.gofundme.com/f/tennis-weekly-2024 Tennis Weekly 2024 Crowdfund is now open!
