Super grass starts for Boulter + Draper, Paris Olympics teams - Murray IN, Raducanu OUT
The sweet smell of freshly mowed grass courts is here! And of course that means the Tennis Weekly trio of Joel, Kim and Chris are ready to kick-off with their first official podcast of the 2024 grass court season.
The Brits are off to a cracking start to the grass with two titles already. Katie Boulter battled fellow Brit Emma Raducanu, the rain, and former World No. 1 and Wimbledon Finalist Karolina Pliskova to defend her Nottingham title, whilst Jack Draper won his first tour title in Stuttgart to become British No. 1 with an impressive performance against grass aficionado Matteo Berrettini. Alex de Minaur and Liudmila Samsonova also claimed the trophies in s’Hertogenbosch.
Meanwhile, the Olympics are looming, with the exciting announcement that Carlos Alcaraz and Rafa Nadal will team up in Paris, whilst Emma Raducanu has turned down the prospect of a wildcard, to the consternation and surprise of many.
We also hear from Andy Murray and Carlos Alcaraz live from the Queen's Club as Tennis Weekly hits the grass courts of the famous Wimbledon warm up event.

French Open Finals - Alcaraz one step from career slam at 21, Swiatek sweeps 4th crown
Finals weekend in Paris... you know what that means! It's time for Joel, Kim and Chris to reunite for their final catchup from Roland Garros 2024, the tournament which saw Iga Swiatek win her third Roland Garros title on the trot with a storming victory over Jasmine Paolini, and Carlos Alcaraz beat Alexander Zverev in five sets to become the youngest ever male player in the Open Era to win a Grand Slam on 3 different surfaces.
The trio discuss whether beating Iga Swiatek on this court and surface is the toughest ask in women’s tennis, assess Jasmine Paolini’s two runner up titles this past fortnight and what Alexander Zverev still needs to do to win his first Grand Slam title.
With Coco Gauff claiming her first Slam doubles title (to complete a singles and doubles slam set aged 20) and Mate Pavic completing the career Golden doubles slam, this tournament has certainly been one for the stat lovers.
The trio also reveal the winner of Collect A Set which once again went down to a tiebreaker and there is some very special Wimbledon related news announced from Tennis Weekly HQ...

It actually feels like the French Open... join Joel and Chris as they discuss all the semi final action at Roland Garros including a gruelling, survival of the fittest five set epic from Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner plus Alexander Zverev overcoming an off colour Casper Ruud.
On the women's side they discuss Iga Swiatek reaching her fourth final in Paris and just why Coco Gauff struggles so much in their head to head, plus Jasmine Paolini leading the Italian charge by making both the singles and doubles finals in Paris (encroyable!).
Elsewhere, the duo discuss Zverev's court case in Berlin reaching a decision, whether Alcaraz-Sinner is this generation's Federer-Nadal rivalry and they preview the singles finals with some of their own predictions.

Kim and Chris catch up on the Quarter Final action from Roland Garros, which saw top seeds Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka ousted by lower ranked opposition, Jannik Sinner become the new World Number 1, and Novak Djokovic withdraw from the tournament with a knee injury.
Iga Swiatek cruised through against Wimbledon Champion Marketa Vondrousova whilst Coco Gauff made her third straight slam semi with a comeback win over Ons Jabeur.

Chris and Kim also consider Ons Jabeur’s critique of the French Open scheduling, how much of a factor illness played a part in the Sabalenka and Rybakina defeats, and whether Novak Djokovic is likely to miss the Wimbledon Championships in light of his recent injury.

Wow, wow, wow. And that's not just a full day's play in Paris without a single drop of rain.

Customer Reviews
The Best Out There
Best tennis podcast going. The hosts have great chemistry, they know the sport and their enthusiasm is contagious.
It’s pronounced Mar-TEEN-ez!
Honestly guys, I want to enjoy the show, but when I hear a common Spanish name repeatedly mispronounced, it’s like having a conversation with someone with a conspicuous piece of spinach on their teeth. I know you’re all British, but the authentic native pronunciation would be so much more convincing (and less, heaven forbid, Colonial;). Cheers…
Best tennis podcast out there!
As a new fan of tennis, I listened around to a few tennis podcasts before finally finding this one—this is hands down the best tennis podcast! I love the by-fans-for-fans vibes; this is authentic, real commentary from very knowledgeable and funny people. All three co-hosts are a joy to listen to, and I’ve been looking forward to every episode throughout Wimbledon! 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for great tennis insights and match reflections.
