Aus Open, Bro

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The 2026 French Open was a certifiable rollercoaster, throwing us between early upsets, banging matches, 5-hour epics, crafty tennis, youngsters showing out, qualifiers breaking through and ultimately plummeting us to a Zverev slam title. Teenager Mirra Andreeva and qualifier Maja Chwalinska stole the show with their runs to a title and a final respectively - perhaps the first of many for Andreeva?We discuss Cobolli delivering on his potential, Chwalinska's incomparable dropshot, Sinner's fatal flaw, Fonseca's future greatness, Sabalenka's woes, Swiatek's trajectory, Menšík's overlooked talent, and Pegula's impending US Open triumph.

It's so over. We're so back! Tennis fans globally can rejoice now that the world's leading tennis podcast is back to preview Roland Garros and share our power rankings. Listen as we somehow manage to come up with 9 ATP players who could possibly challenge the champion-in-waiting Jannik Sinner, and discuss who of the Big Four of Swiatek, Rybakina, Sabalenka, and Gauff deserves favourite status in Paris.

We accidentally recorded an Indian Wells quarterfinal preview and we did it in record time. In our first ever episode of reasonable duration we quickfire chat about the performances we appreciated and hated in the first 1.237 weeks of tennis in the desert, and pick our semifinalists and finalists - hint: Sams are bold.

Everyone knows that the February back-to-back 1000s in the Middle East are a pretty silly gimmick, but we are willing to put that aside for the sake of agendas to promote Muchová's monumental achievement.As well as appreciating Muchová's second career title, we also discuss the greatness of Elisabetta Cocciaretto, the Svitolina v Gauff epic, Alcaraz's chances at 41 in a row, and who exactly is the Katie Boulter of the ATP.

The "Worst Slam in History" finished with an historic achievement for Carlos Alcaraz as he became the youngest man in tennis history to win all four grand slams. Elena Rybakina sought revenge for the 2023 final as she defeated Aryna Sabalenka in 3. We are joined by a very special guest to discuss how the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals unfolded and their implications for the future.

It was straight sets galore in round 4 in Melbourne but we still found plenty to talk about, looking back at performances past and previewing the matches to come. Will Tien continue his run? Does Jovic have a chance against Sabalenka? Is this finally Pegula's time?

Seeds blossom and controversy takes centre stage for no reason whatsoever. We chat about the memorable matches and impressive performances from the first week of the Australian Open. Sam explains why Sinner is not an industry plant and Charlotte tries to grapple with the latest fashion scandal in tennis.

A meandering trip through the men's and women's singles draws at the Australian Open as we pick our winners while Sam tries to figure out exactly where Andreeva is in the draw. We also give ELO the respect it deserves and appreciate the longevity of Venus Williams with an impressive stat.

It's 2026! Nostalgia is in the air for some reason and so are tennis balls. But they always are. The new season is well underway and the last one is still warm. We look back at 2025 and forward to 2026 and discuss disappointments, improvements, and predictions.

The slams are done and dusted for 2025 and we have two very familiar victors. Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka reclaimed their thrones and we're here to talk about how they did it and what it means. We also discuss Djokovic's future, Anisimova's potential, and the impending dominance of Sincaraz.Follow us on Twitter: https://x.com/racquetwilltalk
