  90. <description><![CDATA[<p>Catherine, David and Matt discuss the start of the clay court season, headlined by victories for Jessica Pegula and Jenson Brooksby.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Part one - WTA Results. </strong>Pegula shows her toughness and her variety to win the first clay court title of her career in Charleston over Sofia Kenin. We discuss her reascension to American number one and compare her career with players like Jelena Ostapenko and Sofia Kenin who have won a slam but don't have her consistency. Plus, Camila Osorio wins Bogota for the third time.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Part two - ATP Results (from 30m).</strong> Brooskby saves match point in three different matches to win the first title of his career in Houston. We discuss his return to the tour, why we enjoy watching him play, and his final victory over Frances Tiafoe. There’s also chat about Flavio Cobolli not only snapping his 8-match losing run, but doing so by winning the title in Bucharest.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Part three - News (from 50m27s).</strong> Top players send a letter to the Grand Slams asking for more prize money, so what does that mean for the PTPA lawsuit? There’s also change at the top of the ATP, Coco Gauff leaving Team8, and a look ahead to Monte Carlo and the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers this week.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Become a&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friend of the Tennis Podcast</a>&nbsp;to receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts, including Tennis Re-Lived episodes,&nbsp;Grand Slam Review Shows, and monthly Live Shows on YouTube.

There’s also chat about Flavio Cobolli not only snapping his 8-match losing run, but doing so by winning the title in Bucharest.&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Part three - News (from 50m27s).</strong> Top players send a letter to the Grand Slams asking for more prize money, so what does that mean for the PTPA lawsuit? There’s also change at the top of the ATP, Coco Gauff leaving Team8, and a look ahead to Monte Carlo and the Billie Jean King Cup qualifiers this week.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Become a&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friend of the Tennis Podcast</a>&nbsp;to receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts, including Tennis Re-Lived episodes,&nbsp;Grand Slam Review Shows, and monthly Live Shows on YouTube.

  1515. <description><![CDATA[<p>Carlos Alcaraz is out of the US Open. The Roland Garros and Wimbledon champion was beaten in straight sets by Botic van de Zandschulp on a shocking night on Arthur Ashe Stadium.

There's chat about Musetti's tactical mastery to tun the match in his favour and how this feels like one that got away from Fritz. Elsewhere, there's a Next Gen reckoning, sympathy for Alex de Minaur, and chat about how Elena Rybakina and Barbora Krejcikova got through to the last four. Is this tournament on Rybakina's racquet? How can Krejcikova disrupt her?

  1895. <description><![CDATA[<p>Catherine, David and Matt react live to Novak Djokovic's straight sets victory over Holger Rune and, in particular, to his post match interview when he took on the crowd. There's discussion about what that says about Djokovic's state of mind, analysis of his performance, and debate about where this performance leaves Rune. Elsewhere, there's chat about Taylor Fritz's comeback from two sets down to beat Alexander Zverev, a big milestone for Alex de Minaur but also worry he's injured himself on match points, and praise for how Lorenzo Musetti's game is translating to grass. On the women's side, Elina Svitolina spoke movingly and powerfully about the horrendous bombing of a children's hospital in Ukraine, and Jelena Ostapenko continued her dominant run through the draw.

  1933. <description><![CDATA[<p>At the end of an eventful day at Wimbledon, Catherine, David and Matt begin the show by discussing Iga Swiatek's shock third round defeat to Yulia Putintseva. There's analysis of what Putintseva did so well tactically, where it went wrong for Swiatek, how Swiatek reacted in her post match press conference, and whether she will ever crack grass. Last year's finalist, Ons Jabeur, was also beaten as the top half of the women's draw opened up. But Elena Rybakina put in a statement performance to thrash Caroline Wozniacki. On the men's side, there's great excitement about a fourth round clash between Holger Rune and Novak Djokovic after their late night victories, and Ben Shelton vs Jannik Sinner is previewed. The other big story was Emma Raducanu's withdrawal from the mixed doubles, meaning Andy Murray's Wimbledon career is over.

  1952. <description><![CDATA[<p>On a rainy day at Wimbledon, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz survived a big scare against Frances Tiafoe.

  2009. <description><![CDATA[<p>It was an emotional day at Wimbledon as Marketa Vondrousova was beaten in the first round and revealed that the pressure and nerves of being the defending champion were too much. Catherine, David and Matt talk a lot about that and get to know her opponent, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who played superbly and has an epic tattoo.

  2010. <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>It was an emotional day at Wimbledon as Marketa Vondrousova was beaten in the first round and revealed that the pressure and nerves of being the defending champion were too much. Catherine, David and Matt talk a lot about that and get to know her opponent, Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, who played superbly and has an epic tattoo. Before all that, Andy Murray withdrew from the singles, leaving the pod team feeling a mixture of sadness and relief. He was replaced on Centre Court by Jack Draper who did his best Murray impression over five sets.

Catherine, David and Matt share their feelings and look ahead to what might happen over the next few days.&nbsp;</p><p>Elsewhere, there’s chat about Tommy Paul’s title at Queen’s, Lorenzo Musetti’s run to the final, and Jack Draper’s big win over Carlos Alcaraz. Matt is full of praise for Jannik Sinner winning his first grass court title in Halle and there’s a rant about the shadow situation there.&nbsp;</p><p>On the women’s side, who is the favourite for Wimbledon? Jessica Pegula saved five match points to defeat Anna Kalinskaya in Berlin, Coco Gauff impressed, and it was a good week for Iga Swiatek with her feet up as Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Ons Jabeur and Marketa Vondrousova all retired with injury or illness.&nbsp;</p><br><p><strong>ON LOCATION:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>This edition of The Tennis Podcast is sponsored by On Location, the premium hospitality and experience provider.</p><p>On Location has fantastic ticket, hospitality and travel packages available for all the of the world’s biggest tennis tournaments, including the Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, the US Open, the Australian Open and the Laver Cup.</p><p>Go to <a href="http://tours4tennis.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tours4Tennis.com</a> to check out the options and don’t forget, we have a 5% discount off those Laver Cup packages for Friends of The Tennis Podcast.</p><p>So if you’re a friend, drop us a line at <a href="mailto:friends@tennispodcast.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">friends@tennispodcast.net</a> to get the discount code, or Become a Friend to qualify for that discount.</p><p>Terms and conditions apply.</p><br><p><strong>HANNAH’S COLUMN:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>An excerpt from Hannah’s latest column, about Andy Murray, is available now for everyone to read - <a href="https://bit.ly/ThankYouAndy" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/ThankYouAndy</a></p><br><p><strong>OUR LINKS:&nbsp;</strong></p><p>Join&nbsp;<a href="https://tennis.supportingcast.fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Barge!</a></p><p>Become a&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friend of the Tennis Podcast</a>&nbsp;to also help us to produce the show year-round, receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts throughout 2024, including Tennis Re-Lived and Grand Slam review shows, read Hannah's Column and watch monthly live shows on YouTube.&nbsp;</p><p>Sign up to receive our&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastNewsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Newsletter</a>&nbsp;(daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt’s Stat, mascot photos, predictions, and more)</p><p>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/TennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;(@thetennispodcast)</p><p>Subscribe to our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>&nbsp;channel.</p><p>Check out our&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastShop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop</a></p><p>Read our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/28/sports/tennis/tennis-podcast-wimbledon.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York Times&nbsp;profile</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

  2389. <description><![CDATA[<p>It was a dreary day at Roland Garros, with the rain falling and play on the outside courts cancelled, but it came to life when Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka came onto Court Philippe-Chatrier and played one of the most thrilling matches of the year. Swiatek escaped as the winner, saving a match point, but it felt like Osaka won something too as she played her best tennis in years. On the pod, Catherine, David and Matt cover the match, the press conferences, and the disappointing crowd. Elsewhere, there's chat about an unconvincing win for Carlos Alcaraz, impressive performances from Ons Jabeur and Stefanos Tsitsipas, a big moment for Sofia Kenin, and a look ahead to tomorrow's schedule. </p><br><p><strong>OUR LINKS:</strong></p><p>Join&nbsp;<a href="https://tennis.supportingcast.fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Barge!</a></p><p>Become a&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friend of the Tennis Podcast</a>&nbsp;to also help us to produce the show year-round, receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts throughout 2024, including Tennis Re-Lived and Grand Slam review shows, read Hannah's Column and watch monthly live shows on YouTube.&nbsp;</p><p>Hannah’s latest column about Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros is available for Friends -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/HannahOnRafa" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/HannahOnRafa</a></p><p>Sign up to receive our&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastNewsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Newsletter</a>&nbsp;(daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt’s Stat, mascot photos, predictions, and more)</p><p>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/TennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;(@thetennispodcast)</p><p>Subscribe to our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>&nbsp;channel.</p><p>Check out our&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastShop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop</a></p><p>Read our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/28/sports/tennis/tennis-podcast-wimbledon.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York Times&nbsp;profile</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

In what ways is he just a much better player on clay? And can he make sure his Monte Carlo title is not just a one off? There's also chat about Holger Rune's tweets, another week for Novak Djokovic without his top level, Casper Ruud's Finals problem, and Jannik Sinner's second defeat of the season. Elsewhere, we wrap up the results from the Billie Jean King Cup Qualifiers, including Romania's comeback from 0-2 down against Ukraine, and Emma Raducanu inspiring Great Britain's incredible victory away to France on clay. This week, Rafael Nadal is getting ready to play his first match on clay in almost two years, but Carlos Alcaraz is out of Barcelona. </p><br><p><strong>OUR LINKS:</strong></p><p>Join&nbsp;<a href="https://tennis.supportingcast.fm/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Barge!</a></p><p>Become a&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friend of the Tennis Podcast</a>&nbsp;to also help us to produce the show year-round, receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts throughout 2024, including Tennis Re-Lived and Grand Slam review shows, read Hannah's Column and watch monthly live shows on YouTube.&nbsp;</p><p>Hannah’s latest column is available for Friends -&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/HannahOnCommunity" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://bit.ly/HannahOnCommunity</a></p><p>Sign up to receive our&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastNewsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Newsletter</a>&nbsp;(daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt’s Stat, mascot photos, predictions, and more)</p><p>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href="https://x.com/TennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a></p><p>Follow us on&nbsp;<a href="http://www.instagram.com/thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a>&nbsp;(@thetennispodcast)</p><p>Subscribe to our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">YouTube</a>&nbsp;channel.</p><p>Check out our&nbsp;<a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastShop" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop</a></p><p>Read our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/28/sports/tennis/tennis-podcast-wimbledon.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New York Times&nbsp;profile</a></p><p>Tennis Podcast&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thetennispodcast.net/terminology" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Terminology</a></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

  2674. <description><![CDATA[<p>For the second week in a row, Danielle Collins headlines the pod after she kept her winning streak going in Charleston.

As for Sinner, there's chat about the Novak Djokovic-ification of his game and his dominance over Daniil Medvedev and Grigor Dimitrov on finals weekend.

  2731. <description><![CDATA[<p>Catherine, David and Matt convene to discuss a busy few days in Miami.&nbsp;</p><p>The women’s final is set between Elena Rybakina and Danielle Collins and there’s chat about Rybakina’s resilient run so far, Collins’ more destructive path through, and what might happen in the final. How much has her decision to retire at the end of the season helped Collins on court? Should she be on The Backhand List?

  4042. <description><![CDATA[<p>There's no point pretending otherwise: Tuesday on the Arthur Ashe Stadium was a complete dud, with two extremely one-sided matches in the day session and two awkward ones at night, including a retirement. But there was still plenty for Catherine, David and Matt to discuss elsewhere, including a perfect day for the Brits, the first use of VAR in tennis which failed spectacularly, Ons Jabeur winning despite being ill, another rough defeat for Caroline Garcia, a comeback victory for Hubert Hurkacz, and a first Grand Slam match win for Arthur Fils. </p><br><p><strong>AO TRAVEL:</strong></p><p>Our friends at AO Travel are proud to unveil one of the hottest new experiences for the Australian Open in 2024 with the all-new AO Travel Lounge. Overlooking Rod Laver Arena and Grand Slam Oval, the AO Travel Lounge is the best of the best.

  4043. <itunes:summary><![CDATA[<p>There's no point pretending otherwise: Tuesday on the Arthur Ashe Stadium was a complete dud, with two extremely one-sided matches in the day session and two awkward ones at night, including a retirement. But there was still plenty for Catherine, David and Matt to discuss elsewhere, including a perfect day for the Brits, the first use of VAR in tennis which failed spectacularly, Ons Jabeur winning despite being ill, another rough defeat for Caroline Garcia, a comeback victory for Hubert Hurkacz, and a first Grand Slam match win for Arthur Fils. </p><br><p><strong>AO TRAVEL:</strong></p><p>Our friends at AO Travel are proud to unveil one of the hottest new experiences for the Australian Open in 2024 with the all-new AO Travel Lounge.

  4631. <description><![CDATA[<p>For two sets, Carlos Alcaraz vs Novak Djokovic was the match we hoped it would be, but then Alcaraz started full body cramping and was unable to really move or compete in sets three and four. Catherine, David and Matt discuss the feeling of deflation, analyse how Djokovic stamped his authority in the first set before Alcaraz hit back, and describe what went wrong for Alcaraz at the start of the third. What did Alcaraz have to say about what happened?

David, Catherine (in Madrid) and Matt talk through how both players have got there, Swiatek's intensity and focus this week, and the way in which Sabalenka is embracing the prospect of a rematch with the world number one. On the men's side, we look ahead to the Carlos Alcaraz vs Borna Coric and Aslan Karatsev vs Jan-Lennard Struff semi-finals. Yes, you read that correctly, Karatsev and Struff have made it all the way to the last four. We chat about how this run has come out of nowhere for Karatsev, the way in which Struff went toe-to-toe with a jaded-looking Stefanos Tsitsipas, and how much their qualifying match will affect Friday's semi. Elsewhere, we react to the news that Emma Raducanu will be out of action for several months while she recovers from hand and ankle surgery, and we discuss why it's time for Madrid to stop having model ball girls.  </p><br><p><strong>ON LOCATION:</strong></p><p>This edition of The Tennis Podcast is brought to you in association with On Location, the premium hospitality and experience provider.

In this podcast, we chat about how they both got there, with Ruud winning a 55-shot rally and surviving a mini Karen Khachanov fightback, and Alcaraz once again going the distance late at night to beat an inspired Frances Tiafoe. How well did Ruud handle the match and the pressure of being the favourite? And what made Alcaraz vs Tiafoe such a special occasion? We also discuss the men's doubles final, review some of the biggest stories from the wheelchair events, and preview tomorrow's women's final between Iga Swiatek and Ons Jabeur. </p><br><p><strong>WIN A TRIP TO THE AUSTRALIAN OPEN:</strong></p><p>Our US Open dailies this year are brought to you in association with AO Travel, who provide the Australian Open experience the easy way.

Why does Djokovic keep having slow starts? How did he turn the match around? Where might Sunday's final be won and lost?

Looking ahead to the match, can Jabeur nullify the Rybakina power?

Why was Agassi favoured over Courier? How did Higueras and Stine develop Courier’s game to turn him into a champion? What happened for Stine to confront Courier in a car park in Rome prior to Roland Garros? In what way did Stine’s one-year-old daughter play a part in helping Courier win a five-setter in round three? And how did Courier’s tactical switch during a rain delay change the course of the final?&nbsp;</p><p>We also discuss the narrative that Courier got to the top through hard work rather than talent, the reasons why his results fell away quite suddenly, and his life after tennis.&nbsp;</p><p>Plus, with this final falling right in the middle of the Lost Law Years, and playing an integral part in David’s discovery of tennis, you can expect plenty of 90s nostalgia from David.&nbsp;</p><p>The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts.

Did Muguruza get tight at the finish? And where did Serena’s incredible movement and defence come from?&nbsp;</p><p>We also discuss what makes Su-Wei Hsieh’s presence in the quarter-finals so exciting for the tournament and why Simona Halep seems to be in a really good place.&nbsp;</p><p>In the men’s draw, Novak Djokovic took to the court and beat Milos Raonic for the 12th time.

  11493. <description><![CDATA[<p>A match hyped to the hilt ended more abruptly than expected, and Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts were able to talk about Daniil Medvedev vs. Novak Djokovic soon afterwards. Where was the match won and lost? How come Djokovic lost seven games in a row? And does this make Medvedev the favourite for the title?</p><p>The podcast trio discuss all of that, and also cover Alexander Zverev vs. Diego Schwartzman, while giving the lowdown on what Medvedev said about the Zverev domestic abuse allegations in his post-match interview. There’s also David losing at basketball to an 8-year-old, his introduction to Queen’s Gambit, and a preview&nbsp;of Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Rafael Nadal, while we also update listeners on Djokovic’s comments about the Professional Tennis Players Association and the ATP Player Council.&nbsp;</p><p>The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly year-round, and daily during the Grand Slam tournaments.
