Tennis love triangles and US Open preview with Catherine Whitaker

Update: 2025-08-21

Description

Catherine Whitaker is one of the co-hosts of The Tennis Podcast, another great show on The Athletic Podcast Network, and Madeline and Charlotte are thrilled to welcome her to the Sports Gossip Show ahead of this year’s US Open. The tennis tea has never been hotter!

The gals ask Catherine everything you all want to know about this year’s upcoming American Grand Slam. She talks about the length of the tennis season and whether anything can be done about it, Jannick Sinner’s doping ban, why Iga Świątek is no-drama, how Naomi Osaka is her own fiercest competition, and hook-up culture on the tour.

Things get juicy when Catherine tells the gals about the love triangle that tennis fans desperately want to believe in between Emma Raducanu, Carlos Alcaraz, and Jack Draper. She also dishes about a rumored love triangle from years ago involving Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova.
