Talkn Tennis Productions

Talkn Tennis is a weekly tennis podcast where three mates break down ATP, WTA and Grand Slam drama over a beer – with more trash talk than Medvedev v Tsitsipas. If you’re sick of polite commentary and PR-approved answers, this is the show that says what every tennis tragic is actually thinking. Each week we unpack the biggest stories from around the tour: five-set epics, first-round choke jobs, coaching scandals, umpire meltdowns and everything in between. From Melbourne to Madrid, Roland Garros to the US Open, we follow the circus, argue over the hot takes and celebrate the weird, wonderful world of modern tennis. In every episode you’ll get: Honest, unfiltered reactions to the latest ATP & "some" WTA results Grand Slam storylines, dark-horse picks and wildly biased predictions Deep dives on players, rivalries and the moments that broke the internet Mailbag questions, overreactions and the occasional stat that may or may not be accurate Cold beers, bad jokes and friendship-ending debates about who could beat who in their prime. Rated R for racquet abuse, questionable stats and insensitive jokes, Talkn Tennis is not sanctioned by the ATP or WTA – and definitely not approved by your local club committee. If you came for polite debate, wrong court, champ. Subscribe and join the chaos every week. 🎾🍻

    Ep 23 - Can Anyone Stop Sinner? | Jodar The Next Big Thing | Potapova the Luckiest of Losers | Swiatek + Bad Tacos = Out | Madrid Masters 1000 Review & Predictions

    The Madrid Masters is heating up and the boys are back to break it all down. Adam, Chris and Adrian (recovering from a very unfortunate shrimp taco incident) dive deep into the chaos unfolding at the Mutua Madrid Open. On the men's side, Jannik Sinner marches into the semis after dispatching 19-year-old Spanish sensation Rafa Jodar, who has been the undeniable story of the tournament — taking out Joao Fonseca and reaching the quarter-finals of his hometown Masters event. Is the hype real? The boys weigh in. Plus, Alex de Minaur exits in straight sets and Adrian has some thoughts. On the women's side, it's been an upset-fest unlike anything seen on the WTA tour in 2026. Anastasia Potapova has pulled off one of the great underdog runs in recent memory — entering as a lucky loser after losing in qualifying, then knocking off World No. 2 Elena Rybakina to become the first lucky loser in WTA-1000 history to reach a semi-final. Meanwhile, Aryna Sabalenka is out after an epic three-set battle, and Iga Swiatek's tournament ended in tears — courtesy of those infamous bad tacos that have wreaked havoc across the draw. The guys also revisit their predictions, check in on the ATP Fantasy standings, and wrap up with the usual chaos in Question Time and Battle of the Spuds. Talkn Tennis — the only tennis podcast you need.
