The Racquet Will Talk

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.
