The Tennis Podcast

On a pretty surreal day at the US Open, Carlos Alcaraz won his sixth Grand Slam title and became the new World Number One by beating Jannik Sinner in four sets. Catherine, David and Matt discuss it all. 

Part one - Match reaction. We cover what made Alcaraz’s performance so impressive, the way in which both players talked in press about how much they’re trying to improve because of the other, and the future of the rivalry. We also discuss the shocking scenes as the match was delayed and fans were delated getting into the stadium because of security in place for Donald Trump. 

Part two - Our plans (53:27). We discuss our upcoming coverage of the Billie Jean King Cup and what’s going to be available soon for Friends of The Tennis Podcast.

US Open Day 14 - Sabalenka’s fitting finale to 2025

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

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?

Part one - Women’s results. We discuss the extraordinary way Anisimova overcame her Wimbledon final demons to beat Iga Swiatek. What was different about this match? Just how incredible is this feat? And how might Anisimova vs Osaka go on Thursday night? There’s also chat about Karolina Muchova’s gutsy performance and David’s press conference exchange with Iga Swiatek. 

Part two - Men’s results (39:00). We cover Felix Auger-Aliassime’s nervy win over Alex de Minaur and Jannik Sinner’s demolition of Lorenzo Musetti in the night session.

US Open Day 11 - Anisimova buries double bagel demons

Part one - Day session. We cover another wonderful performance by Carlos Alcaraz, his press conference which prompted lots of discussion about body language, Jessica Pegula’s victory over Barbora Krejcikova, and the sad withdrawal of Marketa Vondrousova ahead of her match with Aryna Sabalenka. 

Part two - Night session (27:56). After Novak Djokovic improved to 11-0 against Taylor Fritz, we discuss where Fritz came up short, just how incredible this Grand Slam season has been for 38-year-old Djokovic, and whether he can beat Alcaraz in Friday’s semi-final. 

Part three - Day 11 preview (46:28).

Part one - Day session. Mary Carillo joins Catherine, David and Matt to reflect on Naomi Osaka’s victory over Coco Gauff. Did the match look like we expected? What was notable about Osaka’s body language? How has Tomasz Wiktorowski helped Osaka? And what should be next for Gauff? There’s also chat about Iga Swiatek’s victory, the good form of Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Lorenzo Musetti reaching the quarter-finals. 

Part two - Night session (38:57). We discuss emphatic wins for Jannik Sinner over Alexander Bublik and Amanda Anisimova over Beatriz Haddad Maia. What happened to Bublik? And can Anisimova get Wimbledon final revenge?

US Open Day 9 - Awesome Osaka sends Gauff back to drawing board

Part one - Women’s matches. We start by covering Marketa Vondrousova’s superb performance to beat Elena Rybakina and Barbora Krejcikova remarkable escape act against Taylor Townsend. How did Vondrousova negate Rybakina? How did Krejcikova save the 8 match points? And how dangerous are both players going to be for Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula in the quarter-finals? 

Part two - Men’s matches (31:18). The shot of the day came from - who else? - Carlos Alcaraz with a behind-the-back half volley. We describe that moment, look ahead to Novak Djokovic vs Taylor Fritz after both players hit pretty much top gear on Sunday, and take stock of yet another poor performance from Tomas Machac on a big stage. 

Part three - Day 9 Order of Play (50:19).

US Open Day 6 - Taylor Townsend to the rescue

Six years on from his previous appearance on The Tennis Podcast, Janko Tipsarevic is back, this time to talk to David all about his foray into coaching. 

Tipsarevic doesn’t hold back as he explains why he enjoys coaching and why he thinks coaching standards in tennis are generally lower compared to in other sports. 

David was inspired to speak to Tipsarevic again after his new partnership with Denis Shapovalov has got off to a promising start, with Shapovalov winning the ATP 500 event in Dallas last month. 

Tipsarevic explains why he was drawn to working with Shapovalov, the goals that they have set together, and how he think Shapovalov needs to play to achieve his potential. 

He also gives his take on the Novak Djokovic - Andy Murray coaching relationship.
