The sweet smell of freshly mowed grass courts is here! And of course that means the Tennis Weekly trio of Joel, Kim and Chris are ready to kick-off with their first official podcast of the 2024 grass court season.
The Brits are off to a cracking start to the grass with two titles already. Katie Boulter battled fellow Brit Emma Raducanu, the rain, and former World No. 1 and Wimbledon Finalist Karolina Pliskova to defend her Nottingham title, whilst Jack Draper won his first tour title in Stuttgart to become British No. 1 with an impressive performance against grass aficionado Matteo Berrettini. Alex de Minaur and Liudmila Samsonova also claimed the trophies in s’Hertogenbosch.
Meanwhile, the Olympics are looming, with the exciting announcement that Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Nadal will team up in Paris, whilst Emma Raducanu has turned down the prospect of a wildcard, to the consternation and surprise of many.
We also hear from Andy Murray and Carlos Alcaraz live from the Queen's Club as Tennis Weekly hits the grass courts of the famous Wimbledon warm up event.

Finals weekend in Paris... you know what that means! It's time for Joel, Kim and Chris to reunite for their final catchup from Roland Garros 2024, the tournament which saw Iga Swiatek win her third Roland Garros title on the trot with a storming victory over Jasmine Paolini, and Carlos Alcaraz beat Alexander Zverev in five sets to become the youngest ever male player in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam on 3 different surfaces.
The trio discuss whether beating Iga Swiatek on this court and surface is the toughest ask in women’s tennis, assess Jasmine Paolini’s two runner up titles this past fortnight and what Alexander Zverev still needs to do to win his first Grand Slam title.
With Coco Gauff claiming her first Slam doubles title (to complete a singles and doubles slam set aged 20) and Mate Pavic completing the career Golden doubles slam, this tournament has certainly been one for the stat lovers.
The trio also reveal the winner of Collect A Set which once again went down to a tiebreaker and there is some very special Wimbledon related news announced from Tennis Weekly HQ...

It actually feels like the French Open... join Joel and Chris as they discuss all the semi final action at Roland Garros including a gruelling, survival of the fittest five set epic from Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner plus Alexander Zverev overcoming an off colour Casper Ruud.
On the women's side they discuss Iga Swiatek reaching her fourth final in Paris and just why Coco Gauff struggles so much in their head to head, plus Jasmine Paolini leading the Italian charge by making both the singles and doubles finals in Paris (encroyable!).

Rain, roofs and Rafa! It’s time for an admittedly damp French Open Round 1 catch-up as Joel is joined by Chris live in Paris to look back on all the action from the first three days in Paris.
It’s been an emotional last couple of days in tennis as Rafael Nadal bowed out of possibly his last Roland Garros to Alexander Zverev. Elsewhere, Andy Murray also exited with a losing effort to long time rival Stan Wawrinka and Alize Cornet got a home crowd career send off on Phillipe Chatrier.
It wasn’t all retirement chat though as Paris saw easy return to tour victories for Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner whilst Swiatek, Sabalenka and Rybakina all got their campaigns up and running with comfortable starts. This wasn’t the case though for British Tennis as the Brits endured a miserable few days on the clay. However this didn’t dampen spirits at Tennis Weekly HQ as Joel and Chris look forward to Round 2 and the exciting prospect of Swiatek vs. Osaka (!)

Will Novak Djokovic regain some form to capture his fourth French Open? Will Rafael Nadal be able to overcome a nightmare first round clash with Sasha Zverev? Will Danielle Collins spoil the Iga Swiatek clay party?
Tune in to find out the thoughts of Tennis Weekly, and prepare yourselves for Roland Garros to begin!

With Paris around the corner, the Tennis Weekly trio are back once again to round up all the action from the last week on tour, which saw Italian Open Champions Iga Swiatek and Sacha Zverev crowned in Rome.
With Swiatek continuing her dominance this season, dispatching Aryna Sabalenka to clinch her 3rd Italian Open, and Sacha Zverev defying surprise finalist Nicholas Jarry to win his biggest title in three years, there is plenty to discuss from the Foro Italico. Not to mention the successful weeks for three Americans - Tommy Paul, Coco Gauff and Danielle Collins.
The trio also catch up on the recent announcement of French Open wildcards, changes to the British Grass Court season from 2025 and they debate whether the term ‘Big 3’ is being overused on tour.

From Madrid to Rome, the Tennis Weekly trio are back to bring you up to date on the Italian Open, which has seen Novak Djokovic face a water bottle scare before being ousted in a shock loss to Alejandro Tabilo. Meanwhile, Rafa Nadal succumbed to Hubert Hurkacz in his quest to find form and fitness before Roland Garros.
On the women's side of the draw, top seed Iga Swiatek continues smoothly through the draw, whilst Naomi Osaka has notched a few promising Top 20 wins before falling to Qinwen Zheng.
A flurry of retirements also await with Dominic Thiem and Camila Giorgi both announcing theirs (the latter with immediate effect and with questionable motive) and the trio also discuss the latest surge of player fronted Podcasts and whether they're a positive addition to the tennis world.
Kim also tests Joel and Chris with a slightly Eurovision inspired Mysterious Player.

With Madison Keys finding form to reach the semis, Rafa Nadal earning a few wins in his final (?) Madrid outing, plus retirements and withdrawals aplenty in the ATP draw, the trio chat through the highlights from the past week on tour.
They also look well ahead to the Billie Jean King Cup Finals draw in Seville in November, lament the ending of the TSITSIDOSA relationship recently announced on social media, reflect back on the infamous blue clay Madrid event of 2012 and make quarter by quarter predictions for the upcoming Rome Masters which have already got underway.

We review Challengers, the tennis romance film from Luca Guadagnino and Justin Kuritzkes starring Zendaya, Josh O'Connor and Mike Faist that has hit cinemas and taken the box office and tennis twitter by storm.
To unpack the film the Tennis Weekly threesome aren't asking for 'three tickets to Challengers please' rather four tickets as Culture Editor, critic and writer Sarah Carson of the The i Newspaper joins to keep them in check.
They discuss the tennis sequences, did we believe Zendaya as a top tennis player, was the film really about Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Mirka and ultimately was the film even about tennis? The delve into the topic of love triangles, pancake grips and bisexuality!
A fun Film Club edition and movie review that reveals what we really thought and allows tennis fans and the not so tennis invested to talk about the movie, what they liked and didn't like and ultimately how they rate the film.
ABOUT CHALLENGERS
From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, Challengers stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a former tennis prodigy turned coach and a force of nature who makes no apologies for her game on and off the court. Married to a champion on a losing streak (Mike Faist – West Side Story), Tashi’s strategy for her husband’s redemption takes a surprising turn when he must face off against the washed-up Patrick (Josh O’Connor – The Crown) – his former best friend and Tashi’s former boyfriend. As their pasts and presents collide, and tensions run high, Tashi must ask herself, what will it cost to win.

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. They also debate whether the Golden Swing should be treated to a Masters series in the future.

Another week and another dominant performance from Iga Swiatek as she wins Doha for a third time in three years (!), Jannik Sinner continue his seamless run of form so far in 2024 in Rotterdam, and Carlos Alcaraz beaten in the Golden Swing as Argentine Wildcard Diaz Acosta takes a surprise title.
The trio also ponder the current lack of one-handed backhands in the ATP Top 10, whether the Australian Open will boldly move the Ladies Final to a Sunday from 2026 and who’s going to be picking up the titles this week on tour.
We also hear from Tennis Weekly producer Alina on her behind the scenes experience at the IEB+ Open in Argentina and Joel tests Chris and Kim to a battle of the men’s one-Slam wonders.

Meanwhile, Italian qualifier Luciano Darderi sprung a surprise in Cordoba in an all-qualifier final - only the third time that has happened on the ATP Tour since 1990!
Chris also reports back from this weekend’s controversial UTS in Oslo including the shock exit of Gael Monfils, and we get exclusive insight from winner Andrey Rublev plus runner up Alex de Minaur. Meanwhile in South America, Tennis Weekly goes to Buenos Aires for the Argentina Open!

The TW trio re-unite for a bit of history as they record live on video for the first time ever to round up all the Finals action from the 2024 Australian Open. With Jannik Sinner claiming his first Grand Slam title with a tenacious comeback victory over 3 time Finalist Daniil Medvedev and Aryna Sabalenka cruising to a second straight AO title there are plenty of talking points from the weekend that was.
Rohan Bopanna also sealed his first men’s doubles title at age 43 to go along with his new World No.1 ranking, whilst Hsieh Su-Wei ended a perfect Aussie Open by claiming the mixed and women’s doubles titles to go 11-0 across the last two weeks.
To cap the fortnight off, the trio also sample Vegemite live on air in a nod to Taylor Fritz and Morgan Riddle.

The Finals of the men’s and women’s singles at the Australian Open are set! Kim and Chris are back to talk through all the action from the semi final stage at Melbourne Park, which saw Jannik Sinner inflict the first ever defeat on Novak Djokovic at this stage of the tournament.
Daniil Medvedev also fought back from two sets down to make his way into his third Australian Open final whilst Aryna Sabalenka continues her imperious run of form to place herself one win away from a second straight title down under, sending US Open Champ Coco Gauff packing.

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!

Kim and Chris are back to wrap up the third round action from Melbourne Park as we find out which players have made their way through to the second week of the Australian Open.
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.
They also touch upon the introduction of a ‘party court’ at the AO, and the recent announcement of Rafa Nadal as the Saudi Tennis Federation Ambassador.

Hot! Hot! Hot! A historic Sunday start and the first round is now (finally) in the bag. Join Joel and Chris as they look back on all the action from the first three days including Caroline Garcia's outstanding serving display to oust the returning Naomi Osaka, Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova's shock exit and Novak Djokovic getting pushed like never before in Round 1 of a Grand Slam.
They also assess the Brit performances where there were highs (Raducanu's return!), lows (Murray's performance) and Jack Draper vomming into a bin. Lovely!
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. Additionally, the Tennis Weekly duo reveal their Collect-A-Set player pick predictions, which have already gone one better than Kim's...

Is Djokovic set for even more history in Melbourne? How tough is Iga Swiatek's draw really? What can we expect from the Brits including Emma Raducanu's return? And just why did we have to have Naomi Osaka vs. Caroline Garcia in Round One. It's all up for discussion so join us as we gear up for the first slam of the year!

On today's TW Book Club, we speak with author, sportswriter and host of 'No Challenges Remaining' podcast, Ben Rothenberg, about his new book 'Naomi Osaka: Her Journey to Finding her Power and Her Voice'.
Join us in this far-reaching discussion as we explore the immediate parallels with her idol Serena Williams, the sacrifices her family put themselves through to get her to the top and the challenges that faced older sister Mari in the pursuit of becoming a tennis star against the backdrop of sibling rivalry.
We also take a whistle stop trip through some of Naomi's most epic matches on the WTA tour and Grand Slams triumphs including her surprising rivalry with Madison Keys. Ben also reveals his verdict on the Osaka comeback, why he thinks Iga Swiatek and Novak Djokovic will win the Australian Open and as usual tells us how he likes his tea!

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.

Italy have WON the 2023 Davis Cup! And Joel and Kim are back one final time live from Malaga to round up all the final day’s action from the Palacio de Deportes.
Matteo Arnaldi was drafted back in to the Italian team again and came through an up-and-down battle (saving many a break point!) with Alexei Popyrin to put Italy 1-0 up, before Jannik Sinner got Italy across the finish line by demolishing Alex de Minaur for the loss of just 3 games to give Italy their first Davis Cup title in 47 years. Australia finish as runners up for the second year in a row.

Back on the tour, back as a three! Chris returns from his travels in Hamburg and is reunited with Joel and Kim to catch up on all the hard and clay court action from the past week on the ATP and WTA Tours.
With Champions Iga Swiatek, Taylor Fritz and Sascha Zverev enjoying home success in Warsaw, Atlanta and Hamburg respectively, and first time titles for Arantxa Rus and Elisabetta Cocciaretto in Hamburg and Lausanne, there is tons of tennis and trophies to talk about (not to mention Nick Kyrgios’s Pokémon back tattoo!)
With politics at the fore, the trio chat about Andreeva’s skeptical social media liking, the Prague Open banning Russian and Belarussian players, and the Citi Open pre-warning audiences of the upcoming lack of handshake in Svitolina vs. Azarenka.
Meanwhile, Joel gives Kim and Chris a testing Par For The Courts, and they look ahead to the combined Washington DC event this week which sees a jam packed women’s draw and a seeded Andy Murray hoping for a strong week on tour.

In the first post-Wimbledon Tour catch-up, Chris and Kim are back together to round up the action from across the ATP and WTA Tours with 250s abound in Bastad, Gstaad, Newport, Palermo and Budapest as we see the return of the Hopman Cup in a new location and time of year.

With Carlos Alcaraz defying Djokovic's bid for a record equalling 8th Title, and Marketa Vondrousova getting the better of a disappointing Ons Jabeur to become the first unseeded women's Wimbledon Champion in the Open Era, there is plenty to discuss.

Joel and Kim are back to round up on the Quarter Final action from SW19, with the Final Four of both the Men’s and Ladies Singles Draws now set.
From Ons Jabeur avenging her loss in last year’s Final by knocking out defending Champion Elena Rybakina in a 3 set tussle, wildcard Elina Svitolina knocking out World Number 1 to continue her dream return to the tour and Daniil Medvedev putting Chris Eubanks’s inspired grass court run to an end, there is plenty to discuss from the past two days of play.
Novak Djokovic still looks on course to win his 8th Wimbledon title, whilst young guns Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are still in the draw hoping to spring an upset. Meanwhile, Marketa Vondrousova goes deep at a Slam for the first time in 4 years - will she make another Grand Slam Final out of seemingly nowhere?

On today's Round 4 Wimbledon catch-up, Joel and Chris recap all the shocks and surprises from the start of the second week at SW19.

They consider the draws quarter by quarter, make some potentially regrettable predictions and also reveal the anticipated Collect a Set player picks for this year’s Wimbledon edition.

Bring on Paris! The French Open has begun with Joel and Kim catching up on the first round of action from Roland Garros, whilst Chris makes the trip to Paris to soak up the sights of Round 2.
Joel and Kim discuss Daniil Medvedev falling in a shock defeat to Brazilian qualifier Thiago Seyboth Wild, Novak Djokovic courting controversy with political writings on the camera, and a barrage of women’s seeds falling early with former Champion Barbora Krejcikova, Petra Kvitova, Belinda Bencic, Maria Sakkari and Veronika Kudermetova all bowing out early.
Round one also saw easy enough wins for top seeds Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, some unsavoury booing from the crowd over a refused handshake and only one British player fighting their way through to the next stage of the draw.

Joel and Chris are back to round off Tennis Weekly’s coverage of the Madrid Open. It’s been an eventful finals weekend with home favourite Carlos Alcaraz defending his title and Sabalenka upsetting Swiatek in three sets. Grand Slam winners Andy Murray and Sloane Stephens dropped down from the main tour to pick up titles and Emma Raducanu underwent two of her three scheduled surgeries on her road to becoming injury free.
It’s also been a week of birthday celebrations on tour and a story of three varying sizes of cake opening up the conversation on gender equality whilst tournament Director Feliciano Lopez did his best to close down any speech from the women’s doubles inalists.
Chris also tries to make par in ‘par for the courts’ with an Italian Open special before they both make their predictions ‘fingers crossed’ for the Men’s and Women’s draws in Rome.

We ask her what it takes to become a Tournament Director, how she handles the pressure and last minute curve balls (cough Fort Worth) and what the ingredients are for the perfect tennis tournament.
Joel and Chris delve into why the UK is such a great place to watch tennis, where Rebecca’s dream tournament to attend would be and most importantly how she likes her tea…
Apologies for the technical issues with this one, we were trialing a new audio setup live and on site in Glasgow so picked up a few odd noises - but it's still a cracker! - Joel

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim chat to Mike Dickson, tennis correspondent for the Daily Mail, about his new book Emma Raducanu: When Tennis Came Home.
They chart Emma’s path to US Open glory by looking back at her upbringing in Bromley, her formative years on the lower rungs of the tour, the effect of lockdown and her innate curiosity which compels her to continually self-improve.
They reflect on her run to the 4th round at Wimbledon 2021 and her remarkable triumph at Flushing Meadows later that summer, as well as looking back on her time on the WTA Tour since then, and what the future holds.

With Maxime Cressy looking set to be seeded at the US Open, Dominic Thiem picking up his first two wins back on the ATP Tour, two Serbian WTA Finalists and Caroline Garcia’s Renaissance temporarily restarting and stopping again, there is plenty of tennis chat to sink your teeth into.

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel talks to Director Barney Douglas and Composer Felix White about their new documentary McEnroe.
Joel has a virtual sit down with the two to discuss how they brought to life a cultural icon on the big screen, what they learned during the filmmaking process from an outsider perspective and how they captured the fiery personality of a player known to many for his on court outbursts.
McEnroe is in U.K. and Ireland cinemas from 15th July and will be available to stream on Showtime in the North America from 2nd September.
To go see McEnroe yourself, book tickets here.

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim round up the Wimbledon Finals action, which saw Elena Rybakina clinch her maiden Slam Title and Novak Djokovic claim a 4th consecutive Championship on the lawns of SW19.
With Rybakina sealing a comeback victory over Ons Jabeur, she has made history for Kazakhstan, becoming the first player representing the nation to win a Grand Slam. Meanwhile, Novak Djokovic put to bed any hopes of Nick Kyrgios winning his first Slam by putting together a solid 4 set victory against the young pretender.
Joel and Kim also discuss the Finals action from the Doubles, with Aussie pair Ebden and Purcell coming back from the brink several times to win the title in epic fashion, and Czech Champions Krejickova and Siniakova cruising to victory to capture their 2nd Wimbledon title. They also reflect on Alfie Hewett’s close encounter in the Wheelchair Singles Final, which saw him serve for the title four times but ultimately come out second best.
The winner of Collect A Set is also announced!

They discuss Rafa’s withdrawal and the debate around the concept of lucky losers filling spare slots, as well as look ahead to the weekend’s singles finals.
Joel and Kim also catch up on Doubles action which saw Britain’s Neal Skupski and USA’s Desirae Krawczyk defend their title, and Joe Salisbury and Rajeev Ram lose in a heartbreaking semi final to the Aussie pair of Ebden and Purcell.

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim catch up on the Quarter-Finals action from Wimbledon.
They reflect on five sets galore in the men's draw as Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic both battle back from the brink against the young pretenders Taylor Fritz and Jannik Sinner whilst Britain's Cam Norrie made a Slam semi-final for the first in his career with a thrilling win over David Goffin.
On the women's side, there was an easy win for Simona Halep but is there cause for concern for the AELTC with Rybakina's Russian roots a hot topic of conversation as she reached the final four with a come-from-behind win against Ajla Tomljanović.
And with the news bein revealed that Ons Jabeur and Tatijana Maria are 'BBQ buddies', Joel & Kim wonder just what food are they putting on the grill.

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim catch up on the 4th round action from The Championships, Wimbledon.
With Cam Norrie being the last remaining Brit in the singles draw there is hope for home fans despite Heather Watson’s loss to the young German Jule Niemeier. Meanwhile, Nick Kyrgios proves he can behave with a 5 set win on Centre over Brandon Nakashima, and Novak and Rafa overcome big serving Dutchmen to seal their path into the Quarter Finals.
With Halep sweeping past Paula Badosa, and Ons Jabeur comfortably moving past Mertens, the women’s draw is looking potentially set for either the former Champ or the highest seed left in the draw to make headway towards a Wimbledon title come Saturday.
Joel and Kim also provide a Collect A Set update; which is far to say might well be the lowest scoring rendition seen yet!

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim catch up on the third round of Wimbledon which saw an aggro filled match steal the show between Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas late on Saturday night.
With controversy galore to discuss from their encounter, along with Iga Swiatek’s 37 match win streak finally coming to an end at the hands of Alize Cornet, and Heather Watson making it through to the 4th round of a Slam for the first time, the third round action comes to life here at Tennis Weekly.
From Rafa’s ‘non-spicy’ chat with Lorenzo Sonego, Tim Van Rijthoven’s wildcard wonder continuing and Carlos Alcaraz warming into the tournament nicely, Joel and Kim reflect on the past two days play at the AELTC.

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Kim take a look back on all the action from Round Two at Wimbledon.
From despair to triumph, it was a mixed couple of days for the Brits as Murray and Raducanu failed to progress whilst there were more unexpected victories from Katie Boulter, Heather Watson and Liam Broady all defeating higher ranked opponents.
Elsewhere, it was another uncharacteristic performance from Rafael Nadal as he came through in four sets whilst Nick Kyrgios looked back in his groove against recent Queens finalist Filip Krajinović to set up a tantalizing R3 match up against Stefanos Tsitsipas.
Kim also reveals her Collect-A-Set picks and discusses tent life this year in the Wimbledon Queue!

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Chris roundup the main action from Round One of Wimbledon.
They discuss how Matteo Berrettini and Marin Cilic didn’t make it onto court as they both test positive for Covid-19. Will Wimbledon need to make a policy change to control the outbreak?
Serena Williams makes her Wimbledon return and loses out in a dramatic 3h 11m epic to Harmony Tan who was playing just her 9th Grand Slam match ever. Chris and Joel react live as they record.
It’s business as usual for Iga Swiatek who opens her campaign with a…you guessed it bagel on her way to a straight sets win.
Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal are less than convincing in their open matches both dropping sets. With the draw opening up will it matter that they aren’t playing their best?
Joel and Chris also discuss the reduced crowd attendance for Day 1 and 2 and what might be causing some of the half empty stadiums.
They also reveal their Collect A Set picks, which have been sent spiraling after Serena’s exit and Berrettini’s withdrawal. Is Joel to blame for predicting a Williams win?

With Hubert Hurkacz putting himself forward as a contender for Wimbledon with victory in Halle, and another title for Ons Jabeur in the build up to a Slam, things are hotting up nicely for The Championships just around the corner.
Joel and Kim assess the varying fortunes of British players so far on grass, debate who should open the Ladies Singles at Wimbledon in Barty’s absence, and reflect on the dangers of an unseeded Nick Kyrgios in the draw next week.
Kim also tests Joel with a new Mysterious Player (niche knowledge required!) and they also discuss news from the US Open that Russians WILL be allowed to play.

With Andy Murray reaching his second tour final of the season out in Stuttgart, there are many positives to take from his performance this week despite fresh injury concerns having arisen. Meanwhile, Ekaterina Alexandrova upset Aryna Sabalenka to take home the Libema Open trophy ahead of a Wimbledon neither player are able to participate in.
Joel also tests Kim with a Queen’s Club focused Par for The Courts ahead of the tournament starting, and they discuss the latest news that Glasgow will host the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in November and that ATP Masters events are about to change from 2023.

In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, Joel and Kim round up the main action from the 2nd Round of the Australian Open, which saw Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu fall in differing fashions to their lower ranked opponents.
With Daniil Medvedev also overcoming home favourite Nick Kyrgios and a vocal crowd (be it booing or sui-ing) and top women’s seeds Muguruza and Kontaveit losing in convincing fashion to seasoned pros and young hopes alike, there is plenty to discuss as we progress through the tournament at Melbourne Park.
Round 2 results have left fans with some tantalising 3rd round match ups, with Anisimova v Osaka leading the way, and Rafa Nadal’s first real test against often dangerous Karen Khachanov.

In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and Kim catch up on all the key talking points from the First Round of play at Roland Garros 2021.
They discuss Naomi Osaka’s decision to withdraw from the tournament for mental health reasons in light of the press conference debacle, and what this means for both her and the role of the press in tennis going forwards.
They catch up on the early shocks from the tournament with top seeds Rublev, Muguruza, Andreescu and Thiem all out in round one, whilst conversely Daniil Medvedev recorded his first ever victory on the Parisian clay.
They also reflect on Cam Norrie once again being Britain’s last remaining singles player in the draw with disappointing defeats being suffered by Konta, Evans and Watson.
Joel and Kim also lament their terrible Collect A Set predictions, which, it is safe to say, have not got off to the best of starts.

From Serena’s form to Osaka’s recent statement concerning the press, Joel and Kim also predict who will come through the women’s draw, which sees favourites Barty and Swiatek both in the top half.
They also make some possibly terrible predictions (as usual) and announce the latest edition of Collect A Set, the predictions game you can all join in with (send us your guesses before the start of play on Sunday!)

In the latest episode of The Passing Shot, the tennis podcast by fans, Joel and Kim round up all the action from the Italian Open which saw current Roland Garros champions Rafa Nadal and Iga Swiatek both take home the titles in very different fashions.
Whilst Swiatek double bagelled Karolina Pliskova in lightening quick speed, Rafa Nadal had to overcome long time rival Novak Djokovic in 3 sets to claim his 10th Rome Title. With close defeats for Shapovalov and Tsitsipas, home hope Sonego reaching the semis, injury concerns for Barty and Halep, and a lacklustre return to court for Serena Williams, Joel and Kim debate all the key talking points from this week’s event.
They also discuss Yastremska’s latest appeal against her doping ban, the uncertainty surrounding the Tokyo Olympics and Andy Murray’s decision not to play Roland Garros this year.

They discuss World Team Tennis in the 1970s, and how it tried to start a cultural revolution through sport; bringing team tennis with gender parity to new audiences across the United States and thereby trying to shake up the sport as it was known.
They discuss the backlash from the traditional tennis elite, the struggles that World Team Tennis faced and ultimately, despite its initial commercial failure, what has been its legacy to the sport and a wider outsider subculture within tennis and beyond.
Along the way, Steven also shares some of his favourite stories from World Team Tennis of the 70s, offering insight and perception into a world of radical vision and subversive spirit.
