    MEGAPOD VI: Twelve Questions About The 2026 Season

    Episode 145 of Tripp's Tennis Talk is a 2026 pre-season podcast. Each interview subject answered the same list of questions. Today's guests are returning champions Rory, Tami, Wilburn, and Monica (aka Mom), as well as debutant Emilio. - Here are the questions: The usual year-end #1 prediction. And the usual major winners question. Who will win the Alcaraz-Sinner rivalry in 2026: Alcaraz, Sinner, or Tie? Will any player defeat both Alcaraz and Sinner in 2026? Who could? What would it take? What will the defining WTA rivalry be in 2026? How should Coco Gauff actually go about fixing her serve? How should fans and media react? Throw a dart at a player outside the top 50 and say “this person will do something in 2026.” Do you personally care about “tennis scheduling?” Which current tennis bachelor(s) could you see getting married next? Which individual person does the best work in tennis media right now? What is the strongest shot in your personal tennis game? The weakest? Name three professional tennis players. Bonus points for creativity! - Timestamps are approximate. 0:00 Intro 5:30 Rory 40:45 Tami 1:19:30 Madeline and Emilio 1:56:00 Mom 2:47:00 Reaction to the answers 2:53:25 Lamarr Tribute - Intro and Outro music - "Auld Lang Syne" arrangement by E's Jammy Jams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYS7m3VPLa4 Transition music - "End of the Line" by Tristan Clark from EVITERNITY II https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2O7bpcwV90 Lamarr tribute music - "Aurora Awakes" by John Mackey, performance by UNT https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ulk28Z4bwk - Subscribe to Tripp's Tennis Talk and download new episodes!

    Florida State's Cardinal Sin: FSU vs Stanford Recap ft. Tim Fain

    After a listless college football game punctuated by a controversial call, the Stanford Cardinal beat the Florida State Seminoles 20-13 in ACC play, handing the Seminoles their fourth consecutive loss. I was there to witness it all, along with today's guest, friend and former co-worker Tim Fain. We discuss the future of Florida State Head Coach Mike Norvell, the litany of problems facing the Seminoles, and the experience of traveling to Palo Alto, including the in-stadium experience and what it was like to experience the wild final sequence.

    ATP Tokyo + Beijing Recap

    Episode 143 of Tripp's Tennis Talk features a recap of ATP Tokyo and ATP Beijing, highlighted by Carlos Alcaraz's 8th title of the year coming in a 6-4, 6-4 win in a top five matchup against Taylor Fritz after 1 hour 33 minutes on Tuesday, as Jannik Sinner and Learner Tien were contesting the Beijing final on Wednesday. I also hit on a few topics from what we've seen so far for the early rounds of the WTA 1000 in Beijing, the latest Medvedev drama, and the scheduling quirks of the Asian swing. -  Subscribe to Tripp's Tennis Talk and download new episodes! - Intro Music: "Moon/Mars: Sukarabe Fight 3" from "The Hybrid Fight"  by Naofumi Hataya, Junko Shiratsu and Sachio Ogawa. - Outro Music: "Stand Up Against Myself" from "Thunder Force IV" by Toshiharu Yamanishi.

    US Open Day 4 - This Is About Jelena Ostapenko

    EDIT/SAD CORRECTIONS MUSIC: Jelena Ostapenko WAS NOT the Wimbledon player that I referenced with the stalker. That was Julia Putintseva. My apologies. Please disregard that when I say it. Episode 142 of Tripp's Tennis Talk features a breakdown of today's post-match interaction between Taylor Townsend and Jelena Ostapenko. I have a slightly contrarian take: this is less about Taylor Townsend and more about the psychological profile of Jelena Ostapenko. Subscribe to Tripp's Tennis Talk and download new episodes!

    2025 US Open Day 2 - HOF ICYMI

    Episode 141 of Tripp's Tennis Talk features clips from the recent Hall of Fame induction speeches from the new members, Bob Bryan, Mike Bryan, and Maria Sharapova, as well as Serena Williams' introduction speech of Sharapova, done at Maria's request. We also hear from Venus Ebony Starr Williams and do a rundown of today's US Open results. The HOF content has been getting a lot of play in recent days so I thought it was worth it to spend some time to address it during a mostly-sleepy Monday order of play, results-wise.

    2025 Cincinnati Open On-Site Experience with Tripp + Mom

    Episode 138 of Tripp's Tennis Talk features a conversation between my mom and myself about our on-site experience at the 2025 Cincinnati Open. We attended the event on Monday August 11, the round of 32. I also attended the next day, Tuesday August 12, during which my dad made a brief appearance. It was hot. There was Skyline. There was also a bowl from an unidentified restaurant. Ice cups are absolutely essential. $2 cinch bags are brittle and they suck. We enjoyed it and we would go back. Yeah I know the music doesn't fit at all, but I recently came across it and I wanted to put it in the show somewhere, so, here it is. Bwahaha!
