Click the link above or go to gofundme.com/tennis-weekly-2026Back with a bang, Tennis Weekly launches into the 2026 tennis season with Joel, Kim and Chris breaking down a huge off-season packed with headlines, controversy and debate.We discuss the shock split between Carlos Alcaraz and Juan Carlos Ferrero, exploring what it means for Alcaraz’s chances at the Australian Open and who should Ferrero coach next on the ATP Tour. The gang also reacts to the headline-grabbing (or is that sleep inducing?) Battle of the Sexes in Dubai, featuring Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka, asking whether there were any real winners from the event — and why Sabalenka’s Macarena celebration pushed Joel over the edge.There was debate as well on Venus Williams receiving an Australian Open wildcard - should it instead have gone to Victoria Azarenka? And is Nick Kyrgios deserving of one at all? Finally, we unpack Novak Djokovic’s decision to step away from the PTPA, citing transparency concerns and what it could mean for player representation on the tour. Hosted on Acast.

Click the link above or go to gofundme.com/tennis-weekly-2026Get ready for the new tennis season with Tennis Weekly as Joel, Kim and Chris dive into their blockbuster 2026 ATP & WTA preview and make some bold predictions for the year ahead.The gang reveal their Grand Slam champion predictions, who will end the year as No.1, Sinner of Alcaraz as well as the bigger question who will finish as the best of the rest at number 2. In addition who will make the end-of-year Top 8 in Turin and Riyadh, who are ones to watch and the players they believe are set to rise and fall in the year ahead. They also look back (sometimes painfully!) at their 2025 predictions to see who called it right…and who definitely didn’t.Will the Sinner vs Alcaraz dominance continue, how many Grand Slams will Aryna Sabalenka win in 2026 and is Jack Draper set to bounce back after an indifferent end to 2025. At Tennis weekly HQ, the team also ponder which players they think might start a tennis podcast next (Joel is certain it will be Katie Boulter and Alex de Minaur) and look ahead to the first action of the season as the 2026 United Cup gets underway in Perth and Sydney with United states as defending champions.SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show [email protected] Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.
