  • Lack of substance

    NYT made a mistake in acquiring this podcast. It’s more about watching tennis and the tournament vibes than interesting commentary on the sport and the games of individual players. Agree with most negative judgments about the hosts in other reviews.

  • Decent pod but

    I enjoy this pod end especially when they have Charlie from the athletic but David Law Jurassic takes to be checked. I once heard him on this pod say he wished Alcaraz got injured just so he doesn’t play too many matches and possibly jeopardize his health. From a tennis perspective this is an awful thing to say and especially more from a human view. This is extremely low from you David. Other than that Catherine and Mat are great. David is too, some of his takes like the example I gave are simpl... more

  • It’s Fine

    Generally good content. Though every episode in Wimbledon the boy called Matt does this thing where he repeats what the grounds announcer says over the loudspeaker at the end of the day. It’s annoying.

  • Need an editor

    This is still a good listen, well informed , professional and conveys real appreciation of the game and its fierce demands made upon the players BUT having listened and valued for several years I now find problems that are annoying: to be brutal it is getting too keen on providing personal opinions rather than information. I now hear too many ponderous episodes of exchangesof opinion. Too often one of you gives an opinion, then repeats it in different words again and then again (recently it wa... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live from Wimbledon preview - Serena steals the show
Q: Why is prize money discussed as a percentage of revenue, and what's the stance on governance?
The organizers argue that revenue-based metrics don't capture costs and investments required to stage the Championships; they stress a commitment to sharing success with players and maintaining transparent governance, with ongoing dialogue about improvements.
Live from Wimbledon preview - Serena steals the show
Q: How does Wimbledon approach wildcard decisions?
Jamie Baker explains a formal wildcard committee process guided by criteria, including Grand Slam pedigree and long-term grass-court support, while balancing British development with international competition; decisions aim to maximize the event's quality and fairness.
Understanding Marketa Vondrousova's four-year ban
Q: What happens if Marketa Vondrousova decides to appeal, and what is the likely timeline for that process?
The appeal would go to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with both sides nominating arbitrators; timelines depend on the tribunal's schedule and submissions, balancing efficiency with due process.
Understanding Marketa Vondrousova's four-year ban
Q: Let's get straight into it. Can you explain why the ITIA sought such a severe punishment in this case, and why refusals are treated seriously overall?
The ITIA operates under the World Anti-Doping Code, which defines the sanctioning framework and deems refusals as a starting point of four years; this is to deter players from attempting to evade testing and to preserve the integrity of the testing system.
Aus Open Day 15 - Carlos Alcaraz: History Boy
Q: What made the match particularly memorable?
The high level of play, especially in Djokovic's first set, and the historical significance of the match made it unforgettable.
