Alcaraz and Sinner circle each other with titles

Catherine, David and Matt discuss titles for Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as well as the opening stages of the WTA 1000 in Beijing. 

Part one - Men’s results. We start by reacting to Alcaraz’s triumph in Tokyo, despite an injury scare. Is this the best tennis of Alcaraz’s career? We also discuss Alcaraz’s decision to withdraw from Shanghai and the over-saturation of two week Masters 1000 events as the injuries and retirements pile up. Over in Beijing, Sinner experimented with his game en route to the title and Lorenzo Musetti got booed and was forced to apologise after a rant about Chinese fans. 

Part two - Women’s results (54m). With the quarter-finals taking shape in Beijing, we cover Amanda Anisimova’s comeback victory over Karolina Muchova, the impressive Eva Lys and Sonny Kartal, and some aggro in the match between Belinda Bencic and Coco Gauff. 

Part three - News (72m30s). There’s chat about Gael Monfils announcing his farewell tour in 2026 before looking ahead to ATP Shanghai.

Has Laver Cup won us over?

Catherine, David and Matt are here, unusually, on a Tuesday to look back on Laver Cup, Iga Swiatek’s title in Seoul, and a couple of ATP events in China. 

Part one - Laver Cup. We start by hearing from The Athletic’s Matt Futterman who spent the weekend in San Francisco at Laver Cup. He explains why and how he entered the week with skepticism only to be won over by the crowds, the format and the vibe of the event. After that, despite promising not to get into an existential discussion about Laver Cup like we always do, we get into an existential discussion about Laver Cup. 

Part two - Tour results (36m41s). We cover Iga Swiatek’s victory in Seoul, her gutsy performance to beat Ekaterina Alexandrova in a dramatic final, and the race for year-end #1 on the WTA Tour. On the men’s side, there’s chat about Alejandro Tabilo’s sudden resurgence to triumph in Chengdu, the utter devastation for beaten finalist Lorenzo Musetti, and whether Alexander Bublik can qualify for Turin after his fourth title of the season. 

Part three - Preview of the week ahead (59m47s). We discuss what to expect from a stacked field for the WTA 1000 in Beijing as well as two ATP 500 events in Beijing and Tokyo.

BJK Cup - Italy's Dynasty

Catherine, David and Matt were live to review Italy’s 2-0 triumph over USA which saw them defend their Billie Jean King Cup title in Shenzhen. 

Part one - Italy d. USA 2-0 Review. How good were the victories for Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Jasmine Paolini? Were Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula a bit flat or Italy just too good? Did the scheduling favour Italy? What's the solution which will allow the USA to leverage its strength in depth? And what’s the secret to Italy’s current domination of tennis? 

Part two - Reflections on the event as a whole (33m35s). We cover the calendar slot, new format and new home in Shenzhen. How do we feel about it all? And what, if anything, can be done to make this event what it should be?

BJK Cup - Can USA stop Italy?

Catherine, David and Matt react to a a couple of enthralling semi-final ties as Italy and the United States booked their spots in Sunday’s final. 

Part one - Semi-finals review. We start by covering Italy’s dramatic comeback to beat Ukraine. There’s an apology for underestimating Jasmine Paolini, analysis of how the match devastatingly slipped away from Elina Svitolina, and praise for Sara Errani’s leadership in the decisive doubles. Turning our attention to USA’s victory over Great Britain, we discuss how both Emma Navarro and Jessica Pegula came back from a set down to see off impressive performances from Sonny Kartal and Katie Boulter. 

Part two - Final preview (starts 29m50s). Will Italy stick with Elisabetta Cocciaretto? How much can we read into Pegula’s 5-0 head-to-head over Paolini? And do the United States have a doubles team which could stop Errani and Paolini? We get stuck into it all and give our predictions!

We will be live on YouTube at 8pm UK time on Sunday to review the Final.

BJK Cup - Italy survive, but can they defend their crown?

Catherine, David and Matt are here to look back on all four quarter-finals at the Billie Jean King Cup Finals in Shenzhen and ahead to the semis. 

Part one - Italy d. China 2-0 & Ukraine d. Spain 2-0. We discuss the remarkably similar comebacks pulled off by Elisabetta Cocciaretto and Jasmine Paolini for Italy, ponder whether Yuan Yue and Wang Xinyu choked for China, and praise the brilliant Ukrainian team. Can Marta Kostyuk and Elina Svitolina get it done in the singles for Ukraine against Italy? And what will they do if that tie goes to the doubles? 

Part two - USA d. Kazakhstan 2-1 & GB d. Japan 2-0 (from 30m31s). We cover the way in which USA came through despite strong performances from Yulia Putintseva and Elena Rybakina for Kazakhstan, the comments made by Taylor Townsend online mocking Chinese food and her subsequent apology, and whether Great Britain stand any chance of progressing through to the final despite a dominant win against Japan.

US Open Day 13 - Will Djokovic ever win No.25, or is that it?

The entire men’s tournament has been building towards Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner meeting in the final and Friday’s semi-finals confirmed that clash will happen on Sunday. Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all and look ahead to the women’s final. 

Part one - Alcaraz’s win over Novak Djokovic. We cover how this was actually Alcaraz’s least convincing performance of the tournament, the extent to which Djokovic’s presence caused that, and a big discussion about what’s next for Djokovic after he admitted he can’t beat Alcaraz and Sinner over best of five anymore. 

Part two - Sinner’s win over Felix Auger-Aliassime (27:05). We discuss how this was a much better match than we expected, whether Auger-Aliassime can sustain this form, and small concern over Sinner’s serve heading into Sunday. Plus, is it ok if men’s tennis is all about Sinner and Alcaraz right now? 

Part three - A results round-up and a preview of Amanda Anisimova vs Aryna Sabalenka. Matt’s big day is here. (47:31).

US Open Day 12 - Anisimova vs. Sabalenka - repeat or revenge?

World Number One Aryna Sabalenka is set to face Amanda Anisimova in Saturday’s US Open final after a thrilling night of tennis on women’s semi final night in New York. Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all. 

Part one - Anisimova’s win over Osaka. How did she pull it off despite not finding her best tennis until deep into the second set? Why did Osaka not play more aggressively? And how on earth has Anisimova turned a double bagel loss in a Wimbledon final into a fortifying experience?

Part two - Sabalenka’s win over Jessica Pegula (25m50s). We discuss defending champion Sabalenka’s Pete Sampras-esque performance to overcome home favourite Pegula in a three set thriller. 

Part three - Men’s semi finals preview. (43m06s). Can Djokovic defy Father Time again to take down Alcaraz? And does Felix Auger Aliassime stand even the faintest chance against Jannik Sinner?

US Open Day 4 - Ostapenko’s words mar Townsend’s win

Part one - Women’s results. The big story on day four was Taylor Townsend’s victory over Jelena Ostapenko and, in particular, what Ostapenko said to Townsend. We cover the situation in full, including what unfolded on court, Ostapenko’s statements on Instagram, and the wonderful way Townsend spoke about it all in her press conference. 

Elsewhere, there’s chat about a third round match to come between Emma Raducanu and Elena Rybakina, and Aryna Sabalenka extending her career phenomenal tiebreak record.  

Part two - Men’s results (32:27). We start with the news that Jack Draper has withdrawn and discuss where he should go from here. Plus, we cover Novak Djokovic’s search for form, Matt tries to convince us that Tomas Machac is happening, and we react to Holger Rune and Casper Ruud both losing in five sets. 

Part three - Day 5 order of play (59:56).

US Open Day 3 - Gauff survives, but for how long?

Part one - Women’s Results. There’s only one place to start and that’s with Coco Gauff’s enthralling win over Ajla Tomljanovic. How did Gauff serve and play generally? What can we read into the sadness of her post match interview? And what could this match mean for the rest of the tournament? Plus, David watched Naomi Osaka win to set up a mouthwatering clash with Hailey Baptiste, Matt reports on Amanda Anisimova, and Iga Swiatek reacted to the news of Taylor Swift’s engagement. 

Part two - Men’s Results (35:11). We cover Jannik Sinner’s demolition of Vit Kopriva, a vital win for Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard’s returning disaster class against Lorenzo Musetti. 

Part three - Day four order of play (57:36).

US Open Day 2 - Alcaraz wins, but what did he do to his hair??

Part one - Day session. We cover Madison Keys’ shock defeat to Renata Zarazua and the way she described nerves as “paralysing” her. And that wasn’t the only big women’s result as Victoria Mboko lost to Barbora Krejcikova. How did we not see that one coming? Elsewhere, there’s chat about Jack Draper’s desire for more time on court, France’s Tiafoe’s position in the pecking order of American men at this tournament, and Joao Fonseca setting up a round two clash with Tomas Machac. 

Part two - Night session (36:57). Carlos Alcaraz has a new haircut…and a new ability to lock in in the first round? We discuss his straight sets win over Reilly Opelka and round up the other key moments, including an incredible second set by Venus Williams in her eventual defeat to Karolina Muchova. Oh and there’s also a rant about faff. 

Part three - Day three order of play and tribute to Angela Mortimer Barrett. (59:00)
