Montreal & Toronto - Throwbacks, upsets, and a mixed bag for Canada

A fun week of tennis in Washington DC ended with Coco Gauff and Dan Evans as the champions, with both players winning the biggest titles of their career.

There's also chat about Dominic Thiem reaching the final in Kitzbuhel, Stefanos Tsitsipas continuing his dominance over Alex de Minaur to win the title in Los Cabos, and the welcome return of the one week Masters 1000 event in Canada this week.

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by Charlie Eccleshare of The Athletic to discuss Wednesday's matches. Was that the best tennis Jabeur has ever played? What made David so sure that Jabeur would win? And will Jabeur be able to do to Sabalenka what she did to Rybakina? On the men's side there's chat about how Medvedev turned the match around, what Christopher Eubanks might do next, and the way in which Alcaraz showed his class against Holger Rune.OUR LINKS:Become a <a href="https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Friend of the Tennis Podcast</a> to help us to produce the show year-round, and receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts throughout 2023, including Tennis Re-Lived, listener questions pods, and Grand Slam review shows.Sign up to receive our <a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastNewsletter" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Newsletter</a> (daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt’s Stat, mascot photos, predictions, and more)Follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/TennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Twitter</a>Follow us on<a href="https://open.acast.com/www.instagram.com/thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank"> Instagram</a> (@thetennispodcast)Subscribe to our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@thetennispodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">YouTube</a> channel.Check out our <a href="https://bit.ly/TennisPodcastShop" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Shop</a>Read our <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2022/06/28/sports/tennis/tennis-podcast-wimbledon.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">New York Times profile</a>Tennis Podcast <a href="https://www.thetennispodcast.net/terminology" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" target="_blank">Terminology</a> Hosted on Acast.

The Tennis Podcast

Raymond Moore

On a day when we expected to be headlining with Azarenka’s win over Serena Williams, instead all the talk was of Indian Wells Tournament Director Raymond Moore’s astonishing comments about the women’s game, and a response from Novak Djokovic that reopened the equal prize money debate.David Law and Catherine Whitaker review what was said by whom, and react to it. Does Djokovic have a point? Is it time the debate was put to bed by making tennis equal pay for equal play? Or is it just too depressing for words that equality isn’t simply seen as the right thing in 2016?The wins of Azarenka and Djokovic are also discussed, as is the resurgence of Rafael Nadal. In an exclusive interview, we also talk to Jez Green, the man that helped to make Andy Murray the physical juggernaut he is today, and who is now in charge of the fitness of 18-year-old German prodigy Alexander Zverev. The Tennis Podcast is produced in association with The Telegraph.

Feliciano Lopez, like Mikhail Youzhny in the previous round, is one year younger than 36-year-old Roger Federer, and is also yet to beat the great man. He hopes, he tells The Tennis Podcast’s Catherine Whitaker on today’s show, that their 13th match will be the one where his luck changes.Denis Shapovalov is quickly becoming one of the main stories of the US Open in 2017, and The Tennis Podcast team can’t get enough of him.His progress was aided by the retirement mid-match of Kyle Edmund, but it also felt as if he was beginning to gain the upper hand anyway in his 3-6, 6-4. 6-3, 1-0 (ret) win. How good do the Tennis Podcast team think Shapovalov will go on to be? What are his strengths? And can he go all the way at the US Open?The 1987 Wimbledon champion Pat Cash joins Catherine on Eurosport to talk about his new charge, Coco Vandewegh.

ATP Cup - Yes or No?

Roland Garros 2019 is just a few days away. Rafael Nadal will be aiming for his 12th title in Paris. It’s mind-boggling to even contemplate. But how did we get here? Starting from the very beginning, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts take you through the story of Rafael Nadal’s career. With stats and anecdotes, they cover his emergence as a teenage sensation, his clay-court dominance, his hold over Roger Federer, his ability to adapt to grass and hard courts, his rivalry with Novak Djokovic, his injury trouble, and his longevity. Along the way they try to answer some key questions. How important was Uncle Toni’s decision to encourage him to play left-handed? Is the 2008 Wimbledon final the greatest match of all time? What makes Nadal so special compared to his biggest rivals? And will he win more Grand Slams in the future?

Kristina Mladenovic, or Kiki as she is known, reached the quarterfinals in a tumultuous atmosphere at Roland Garros, and afterwards the Tennis Podcast team assembled to talk about it.Were the crowd out of order or do players just need to accept and take it? Could Mladenovic go on from here and win the title?Elsewhere, the only man that looked anything like as impressive as Rafael Nadal on day 8 was Dominic Thiem. Could the Austrian find enough inspiration to take out Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals?On Monday, Andy Murray takes on young Russian Karen Khachanov in the last 16. Who is Khachanov?

Sheltering just metres from Craven Cottage and an army of angry Derby County football fans, David &amp; Catherine digest the extraordinary and contrasting title wins in Madrid for Alex Zverev and Petra Kvitova.

And speaking of Djokovic.. Mary Carillo gives her astoundingly excellent thoughts about what's going on with him and why, all via the medium of Whatsapp.All that as well as a Serena Williams comeback update, pronunciation corner, and a rare mention for Tom Okker.

Handshake

In what has otherwise become known as the Upset Open, the big names just about avoided defeat on Saturday, but The Tennis Podcast team had plenty to get their teeth into.How close did World No.1 Karolina Pliskova come to going out? Is her arm injury going to be a deciding factor in how far she goes?Much of the conversation in New York on Saturday centred around the behaviour of Fabio Fognini. The Italian had already been fined $24,000 by organisers after verbally abusing umpire Louise Engzell during his singles match, but word came through that he had been thrown out of the doubles as well. Podcast presenters Catherine Whitaker and David Law discuss the detail of the case, and have their say about what should be done about it.The Naomi Osaka vs. Jelena Ostapenko match that Catherine was so looking forward to isn’t going to happen, as both lost. Our presenters are still able to marvel at the no-look handshake Ostapenko dished out to Daria Kasatkina. They also look ahead to Sunday’s play, which is highlighted by the women’s singles matches between Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza and Petra Kvitova, and those involving Venus Williams and Maria Sharapova. And there’s the latest instalment of the fledgling career of 18-year-old Canadian Denis Shapovalov to discuss.A new edition of The Tennis Podcast is available to download after play every day during the US Open.

US Open Day 6 - Big Names Survive; Fognini’s Disgrace; Worst Handshake Ever?

The year's first big clay court event is upon us and there are more unknowns than perhaps any edition of the Monte Carlo Masters over the last decade. The Tennis Podcast team are here to pick through it all. Is Andy Murray's elbow in a sufficient state for a proper clay court campaign?Is Novak Djokovic ready to rediscover his true form, or will he come unstuck again like he did against Jiri Vesely a year ago?And what of Rafael Nadal? After a strong start to the year, albeit in the slipstream of Roger Federer (who plans to put his feet up for the next six weeks), is the Spaniard in the right frame of mind to win a 10th Monte Carlo crown?Presenters Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport) discuss the possibilities over a pint in the pub.There's also a preview of Britain's attempt to beat Romania, in Romania, in the Fed Cup World Group 2 Play-offs.

Davis Cup Finals Day 3 - Miffed Murray Wins; Canadian Controversy

Thiem Suspended

Day 13 at Roland Garros saw unpredictability and excitement in the women’s draw, the top men’s seeds playing well, rain and wind affecting conditions, and some baffling scheduling decisions. In short, it was in keeping with the themes of this year’s tournament. Catherine, David and Matt are together on the podcast to talk it all through. In the women’s semi-finals, did Jo Konta choke against Marketa Vondrousova? What did Konta have to say about her match being scheduled on Court Simonne-Mathieu? And how did Ash Barty eventually beat Amanda Anisimova in a rollercoaster match? The marquee match of the day was Roger Federer vs Rafael Nadal, so why was the stadium so empty at the start? And how did Nadal use the conditions to his advantage? By contrast, why does the wind irritate Djokovic so much? Why was the match stopped early despite there being at least another hour of playable conditions? And will Thiem be able to handle the mental challenge of coming back tomorrow to finish off? Finally, looking ahead to the women’s final, will Vondrousova’s lack of experience on Chatrier harm her chances against Barty? And is it acceptable that they have been given a Not Before start time? The Tennis Podcast will be produced daily throughout Roland Garros, The Fever-Tree Championships and Wimbledon. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

French Open Day 13 - Nadal thrashes Federer; Konta misses chance; Barty breaks new ground; Djokovic vs. Thiem Suspended;

Andy Murray has spoken to the media, including The Tennis Podcast, for the first time since undergoing hip resurfacing surgery at the end of January, opening up about the details of the operation, his rehabilitation programme, his improved quality of life now that he’s pain-free, and how he still hopes to make a competitive return. This bonus edition of the podcast, recorded at The Queen’s Club, is the only place to hear Murray’s comments in full. Afterwards, David Law and Simon Briggs of Telegraph Sport give their reaction. What persuaded Murray to choose Sarah Muirhead-Allwood as his surgeon? What new things have we learned about his current condition? How different was Murray’s frame of mind compared to when we last saw him in Australia? And what’s the likelihood that we see him back on court in the future? Simon also gives an update on the political situation at the ATP ahead of a council meeting at Indian Wells that will see players discuss the possible ejection of president Chris Kermode. The Tennis Podcast is produced weekly throughout the year and daily at the Grand Slam tournaments, thanks to our Kickstarter backers, in association with Telegraph Sport.   SOCIAL MEDIA Instagram - http://po.st/TTP_InstagramTwitter - http://po.st/TTP_TwitterFacebook - http://po.st/TTP_Facebook WEEKLY NEWSLETTER  Sign up - http://po.st/TTP_Newsletter Hosted on Acast.
