Indian Wells - Rybakina’s Revenge; Alcarazmatazz
Elena Rybakina and Carlos Alcaraz are the 2023 Indian Wells champions. Rybakina got her first victory over Aryna Sabalenka to get some semblance of revenge for the Australian Open final, while Alcaraz destroyed Daniil Medvedev. On one final pod from Indian Wells, Catherine, David and Matt discuss the incredible first set between Rybakina and Sabalenka, the return of Sabalenka’s double faults, what Rybakina’s victory means for the WTA Tour, the tactical elements which helped Alcaraz to dominate Medvedev, our desperation to see Alcaraz go up against Novak Djokovic, and much more.

Indian Wells - Rybakina vs. Sabalenka, The Rematch; Alcaraz is at 60% of his potential - Ferrero
The Indian Wells final will be a repeat of the epic Australian Open final between Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina. Sabalenka's victory over Maria Sakkari was no surprise, but Rybakina's 6-2 6-2 demolition of Iga Swiatek certainly was. Catherine, David and Matt analyse what went wrong for Swiatek and why that match-up causes her so many problems. Ahead of the men's semis, the next instalment of #DoorsteppedByDavid sees him speak to Juan Carlos Ferrero for more insight into Carlos Alcaraz's career.

There’s chat about Iga Swiatek’s ruthlessness, an epic match between Petra Kvitova and Jessica Pegula, yet another three set victory for Maria Sakkari, Coco Gauff’s fighting spirit, how Daniil Medvedev survived an ankle roll to beat Alexander Zverev, the sparkling form of Cameron Norrie and Taylor Fritz, aggro between Stan Wawrinka and Holger Rune, and a late night win for Felix Auger-Aliassime over Tommy Paul.

Customer Reviews
Best Tennis Podcast
This is by far the best tennis podcast. Thoughtful and insightful analysis. I just have one request. In the podcast notes, please add time stamps for each topic segment as many, if not most, other podcasts do; I don’t always have a whole hour to devote to any podcast and the time stamps allow me to jump to the segments I’m most interested in.
Yes, please
This is a fantastic podcast. It has grown my love of the game. They are thoughtful podcasters that have intelligent discussions about the game, issues affecting the game, and issues affecting life and society. They strike a great balance. I’m a more knowledgeable tennis fan because of The Tennis Podcast.
Meh…
Would like more tennis match discussion. A separate point: saying equal pay is fair without talking about WHY they believe it’s fair felt preachy to me. I have thought of it like the WNBA vs the NBA. Their salaries are a reflection of their draw of audience (live and tv ratings). If the host would pls explain THEIR reasons for advocating for equal pay then one can weigh them to be able to try to arrive at that same belief. Vs virtue signaling that it is fair and right but without offering the reasons doesn’t make a compelling argument for me. I (perhaps incorrectly) have understood the unequal pay to be a reflection of market interest, of advertising’s key demographics. I genuinely would like to have that belief challenged. Or perhaps direct listeners to resources about the matter, since you knew the topic would be discussed. The host attributed the apathy of WTA players on the matter to a lack of education. But I and prob others listeners would prob be that much MORE uninformed of the reasons as to why it would be fair. So a real loss of opportunity I felt.
