    Andy Lapthorne: On Reaching World No. 1, Sir Alex Ferguson, and Grand Slam Wins

    In this episode, Theo and Andrea are joined by the UK’s most decorated quad wheelchair tennis player, Andy Lapthorne. With 18 Grand Slam titles and an MBE to his name, Andy’s trophy cabinet is crowded, but his ego definitely isn't. He opens up about his journey from a "non-tennis" working-class background to the top of the world rankings, proving that you don’t have to be a "textbook" athlete to dominate a sport. We talk about everything from the rowdy atmospheres of the Paralympics to why he still hangs out with the same group of mates he’s had since he was five. Andy also shares some legendary stories, including the time he almost hung up on Sir Alex Ferguson because he thought it was a prank. We get into the raw reality of the "post-success slump" after hitting World No. 1 and why he actually enjoys being the "villain" in front of a booing crowd. It’s a fascinating, fun, and totally candid look at what it’s really like to be a professional athlete who refuses to play by the old-school rules.

    Can Anyone Stop Sinner and Sabalenka?

    The hardcourt swing is officially in the rearview mirror, and somehow, both Yannick Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka made the "Sunshine Double" look like a casual Sunday hit. Theo is still recovering from a series of bad predictions, while Andrea is taking a well-deserved victory lap for calling the dominance early. We’re diving into Sabalenka’s "untouchable" energy (and those slightly terrifying 98% Whoop recovery stats), Sinner’s orange-themed takeover of Miami, and why having a squad of vocal younger brothers in the player’s box is the ultimate - if slightly annoying - vibe. But as the tour trades the Florida humidity for the red clay of Europe, the drama is moving off-court, too. We’re dissecting the "social life" controversy surrounding Carlos Alcaraz - is he training too hard or just living his best life on yachts and paddle courts? From Greg Rusedski’s "too much fun" critique to the iconic pensioner ball kids of Miami, we’re wrapping up the spring stretch with a look ahead to Monte Carlo. We’ve got some "boots on the ground" journalism coming your way soon, but for now, we’re placing our bets on who’s going to find their footing on the dirt and who’s destined to bottle it under the Mediterranean sun.

    Mascots and Meltdowns in Miami

    Theo and Andrea are back to unpack a Miami Open week that somehow managed to be equal parts tennis tournament, fashion week, nightclub crawl, and fever dream. From player parties and outrageous outfits to Heat game cameos, giant fur coats in beach weather, and a tournament atmosphere that feels increasingly less about form and much more about chaos, they ask the important questions: is anyone actually locked in, and does Miami make everyone a little bit unhinged? They also get into the truly essential drama: cursed mascot pairings, fan signs that should probably never have been made, rain-delay scheduling chaos, Danielle Collins doing Danielle Collins things, and a few major losses that left everyone blinking at their screens.

    Desert Wins, Miami Begins

    This week, Theo and Andrea are wrapping up an unforgettable Indian Wells, where Aryna Sabalenka finally got her hands on the title after a dramatic rematch with Elena Rybakina, and Jannik Sinner added another huge milestone to his growing hard-court legacy. They break down both finals, from Sabalenka’s nerve in that wild deciding-set tie-break to Sinner’s rock-solid win over Daniil Medvedev, and get into all the little moments that made the weekend so good, including trophy chaos, on-court drama and a very strong showing from Gucci. They also look ahead to Miami, where the vibes, conditions and likely contenders could not feel more different. From the sunshine double question to dark-horse predictions, Dominic Thiem comeback rumours and a final call on which players would be most likely to end up at the club before a match, this episode has everything: tennis, fashion, history, chaos and a lot of strong opinions.

    Carlos in Orange, Sabalenka’s Ring & The Draper Rumour

    Theo and Andrea are back with a live dispatch from Indian Wells, aka Tennis Paradise. With Andrea on the ground in Palm Springs, they dive into what it’s really like inside one of the most iconic tournaments on the calendar, from desert heat and player practice access to Novak’s on-court theatrics and the surprisingly intense food scene (including a $25 fluorescent cocktail). They also break down the unique vibe of Indian Wells, celeb sightings, and why players secretly love spending weeks in the desert bubble. Elsewhere, the pair get into the latest tennis fashion and tour gossip. From Nike’s attempted redemption arc with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner’s new kits, to Naomi Osaka’s headline-grabbing look and the ATP’s new “tunnel walk” style arrivals. Plus they clear up the Jack Draper breakup rumour, react to Aryna Sabalenka’s huge engagement ring, and share their picks for which players would dominate a tennis catwalk. As always, it’s tennis, fashion and tour drama all rolled into one. Follow us on Instagram, Tiktok and YouTube ⁠⁠⁠@whatsthecallpod

    Buzz Cuts, Big Contracts & The Road to Indian Wells

    In this week’s episode, Theo and Andrea catch up on all the latest from the tennis world as the tour rolls toward Indian Wells. They chat through the biggest talking points of the week - from Emma Raducanu’s new Uniqlo deal (and the surprisingly big pay bump) to the WTA tournament in Austin introducing a “rage room” where players can smash rackets in private. They also react to Daniil Medvedev’s very on-brand Dubai title win without hitting a ball, debate Jack Draper’s controversial buzz cut, and unpack Stefanos Tsitsipas’s very honest comments about choosing tournaments based on appearance fees. The conversation also drifts beyond tennis, because this week in sport has been anything but boring. Theo and Andrea share their thoughts on the latest season of Drive to Survive, and break down some early storylines heading into the new Formula 1 season (plus a surprise civil wedding for Charles Leclerc). To wrap things up, they each pick their Indian Wells dark horses on both the ATP and WTA sides as Andrea prepares for some boots-on-the-ground reporting in the desert.

    The Creator Era of Tennis feat. Liza West

    In this episode, Andrea and Theo are joined by tennis content creator Liza West, known for her sharp take on finals fashion, match culture, and the evolving media landscape of the sport. Liza shares how her background in social media marketing, alongside her early experiences as a Wimbledon ball girl, shaped her path into tennis storytelling. Together, they explore what it means to build a voice in a traditionally guarded industry, carving out space within a niche sport while navigating criticism, confidence, and online noise. From tennis fashion and iconic style eras to the players redefining personality and presence on tour, the conversation moves well beyond the court. Andrea, Theo, and Liza dive into social media’s growing influence, tensions within sports media, and the complexities of modern tennis culture, alongside a thoughtful discussion on GLP-1 medications and the narratives surrounding bodies and performance. A candid and refreshingly honest episode about where tennis is heading next. Find Liza: Instagram: @itselizasworld Follow us on Instagram, Tiktok and YouTube ⁠⁠@whatsthecallpod

    Who Gave Them a Microphone?

    This week on What’s The Call, Andrea and Theo are back and they’ve got plenty to unpack. First up: Naomi Osaka. After the duo discussed her match and the “grunting debate,” Naomi posted what felt like a very direct (and very viral) response: “who gave them a microphone?” They break down what they actually said, why fan conversations matter in sport, and why tennis can feel intimidatingly technical — plus why they’re committed to keeping it fun, accessible, and honest. From there, it’s a whirlwind of headlines: an Australian player’s brutal retirement statement calling out toxicity and abuse in the tennis world, Medvedev’s latest comedic meltdown over “square” balls, and Yannick Sinner’s new Nike ACG look (with a subtle dig at his past outfits). Then it’s full Winter Olympics mode: the Olympic Village condom shortage, a jaw-dropping bronze medal “confession” that feels like a movie moment — and the emotional highs and lows of elite sport, from heartbreak crashes to pressure-fuelled collapses. The episode closes with a final call on the question that underpins everything: when careers are decided in split seconds, how much is skill — and how much is surviving the moment?
