Rome - So is Swiatek back, or what?

Catherine, David and Matt review an eventful few days of action in Rome and look ahead to finals weekend. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 44:40). We discuss how Elina Svitolina and Coco Gauff have both reached the final, including Svitolina’s remarkable wins on back-to-back nights over Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek, as well as Gauff’s battling victory over Mirra Andreeva and gradual improvement in form. Who has the edge in the final? Plus, we analyse Swiatek’s tournament and wonder what it means for Roland Garros, and we hear Pam Shriver’s observations from her time coaching in Rome. Part two - ATP (44:41 - 1:15:10). We start with Jannik Sinner’s record-breaking run as he sweeps through the field while managing some fatigue. But there’s plenty of chaos around Sinner to discuss, including a thrilling win for Daniil Medvedev against Martin Landaluce, a late-night, smoke-interrupted epic between Luciano Darderi and Rafael Jodar, and some very graceless quotes from Alexander Zverev. There’s collective joy that Arthur Fils will be fit for Roland Garros and sadness that Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn. Part three - News (1:15:11 - 1:37:03). We react to the news that Andy Murray will coach Jack Draper for the grass court season and give our thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz’s Vanity Fair cover.

Rome brings drama, but boycott talk dominates

Catherine, David and the Athletic’s Charlie Eccleshare look back on a dramatic opening week at Rome’s Foro Italico. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 16:41). Charlie brings us up to speed on the latest stand off between the top players and the Grand Slams over prize money, and Aryna Sabalenka’s bold claim that the players are prepared to boycott in order to achieve the revenue share they think they deserve. Is it all hot air? Do the players have a point or are they being greedy? Part two - WTA (16:41 - 50:09). After Charlie explains the bizarre circumstances around Emma Raducanu’s pre tournament withdrawal, we get into the nitty gritty of the women’s results so far, including a shock early defeat and injury scare for the World Number One Sabalenka. Part three - ATP (50:09). Injury and illness drama also dominated the early stages of the men’s event, with Djokovic compromised by stomach issues and Dino Prizmic capitalising in spectacular fashion. Is Dino finally happening? And is there anyone left standing between Darth Sinner and a maiden title in Rome?

Can Chelsea make it three FA Cup final defeats in a row for City?

Jimbo sits down in the studio with Duncan Alexander, Charlie Eccleshare, Natalie Gedra with a flying visit from Phil Hay as the FA Cup Final approaches and the title races in England and Scotland go right down to the wire. There’s no blinking from Manchester City who beat Crystal Palace 3-0 to reduce the gap with Arsenal at the top of the Premier League to two points again. The Gunners host already-relegated Burnley on Monday. City have to deal with the small matter of the FA Cup Final against Chelsea before then. Is an improbable domestic treble still on for Pep Guardiola’s men? Or can interim Blues boss Calum McFarlane put a spanner in the works? VAR has certainly put a spanner in the celebration plans for Hearts in Scotland. Celtic awarded a 99th minute penalty to win 3-2 at Motherwell and take the Scottish Premiership title race to a final day showdown between the top two. Can West Ham use last week’s disappointment to get a positive result against Newcastle in their fight for Premier League survival? And Hull will play Southampton in the Championship Playoff Final, or will they? The team chat all things Spygate plus look ahead to all the rest of the weekend’s action.

Barca win La Liga in El Clasico - Mourinho to the rescue for Real?

Jimbo is missing Seb Stafford-Bloor, but the usual gang of James Horncastle, Tom Williams and Pol Ballus still have more than enough to talk about as the football season nears its end on the Continent. Barcelona become the first ever team to win La Liga in El Clasico. Marcus Rashford and Ferran Torres score the goals as the Catalonians beat Real Madrid 2-0 to confirm the title, and compound misery on what’s been a disastrous week for Los Blancos. Might Jose Mourinho be the answer to their problems? Desiré Doué was the answer for Champions League finalists PSG as they scored late to beat Brest 1-0 and re-establish a six point gap between themselves and second-placed Lens at the top of Ligue 1. Wouldn’t you know it, they play Lens next - a draw would secure the title for the Parisians. In Germany, it’s a wild fight for survival with three teams at the bottom on the same points. And in Italy, the race for Champions League hots up as Roma leave it VERY late and Milan stumble again. And there’s the Coppa Italia Final between Lazio and Inter coming up. Produced by Lucy Oliva and Xavi Bird. Part 1: Moments of the week (3:00) Part 2: Barca win La Liga + Mourinho back to Real? (8:00) Part 3: Serie A race for top four hots up (28:00) Part 4a: THREE English teams in European finals (40:00) Part 4b: PSG a point away from Ligue 1 title (42:00) Part 4c: Bundesliga fight for survival (49:00) Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal are two wins from the title after an incredible finale at West Ham that sees Leandro Trossard score, Callum Wilson equalise but VAR intervene for a foul on David Raya. Is their name on the trophy? And are the Hammers doomed to the drop? Elliot Anderson rescues a point for Forest against his old club Newcastle to keep his current club up. And Bournemouth make it 16 games unbeaten to boost their very real Champions League hopes. There are 2-2 draws for Europa League finalists Aston Villa and Conference League finalists Crystal Palace. Another draw at Anfield amid boos for Liverpool against Chelsea. Plus National League play-off final drama and Saints are caught spying in Middlesbrough.

Madrid - What do Sinner & Kostyuk's titles mean for the French Open mix?

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by The Athletic’s Matt Futterman to discuss finals weekend in Madrid and what it might all mean for Roland Garros. Part one - ATP (00:00 - 38:00). We start with Jannik Sinner’s demolition of Alexander Zverev and what it told us about their match up and the gap between Sinner and everyone else in the field in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz. Why was Zverev so poor in the final? Is Sinner in a mix of one at Roland Garros? And who or what might be his biggest obstacles? Part two - WTA (38:01 - 1:05:01). We discuss Marta Kostyuk winning the biggest title of her career over Mirra Andreeva, the keys to that victory, and whether this puts her in contention to win in Paris. Plus, can Andreeva learn to do that really hard thing of separating self-worth from results, and why does The Mix feel bigger on the women’s side? Part three - Rome preview (1:05:02 - 1:22:11) Full details of the Mike Dickson Award can be found here. Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠ Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Buy or Sell Their Offseasons: Playoff Hopefuls

OK, this is where the Buy or Sell Their Offseasons series gets really good. We've reached the portion of the proceedings where every team in an episode enters the 2026 season harboring real playoff hopes. The eight teams in this episode aren't the upper-crust Super Bowl contenders, but that doesn't mean that one of them can't punch through and put find themselves in Los Angeles next February. These teams, then, are what we're calling Playoff Fodder. As it stands in mid-May, they're teams that have every right to believe they'll be in the postseason, but remain a step or two away from the Lombardi Trophy. Those teams are the...Bears, Jaguars, Cowboys, Texans, Broncos, Lions, Packers and Eagles.
