Tennis Weekly – Details, episodes & analysis

Joel and Kim are here to catch up on the second round action from Flushing Meadows in New York City, with the US Open now well underway in the hot, hot heat.

Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton have made their way through to setting up a highly anticipated US Open rematch in the 3rd round after their comfortable wins in the round of 64. Meanwhile, top seeds Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner safely progress, with Djokovic clocking up yet another milestone with 90 match wins now achieved at each of the 4 Grand Slams. 

With Wimbledon Champion Barbora Krejickova ousted by Elena-Gabriela Ruse, and Karolina Pliskova retiring after 3 points against Jasmine Paolini, it hasn’t been the best of days for the Czech ladies. Harriet Dart and Katie Boulter also bow out, leaving no British women in the third round.

Joel and Kim also touch upon the epic first round encounter between Dan Evans and Karen Khachanov which has become the longest ever match in US Open history, and reflect on Emma Raducanu’s disappointing US Open and what has contributed to her poor result here yet again.

Kim and Chris catch up on the opening round’s action from Flushing Meadows, as the US Open gets underway in New York.

With comfortable wins for defending Champions Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff, former Champion Naomi Osaka delighting fans with a stylish win over Jelena Ostapenko, and Danielle Collins refusing her retirement ceremony after a first round loss, there is plenty of action to sink our teeth into in just the first day and a half!

Iga Swiatek endures a gritty opponent in Kamila Rakhimova, whilst Harriet Dart and Katie Boulter get the win for the Brits, and Holger Rune, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Stefanos Tsitsipas have tournaments they’d rather forget with early losses.

Wimbledon Ladies Singles Final Day at Wimbledon 2024 which saw Barbora Krejcikova pick up her second Grand Slam singles title, conquering the grass of SW19. With a gritty three set win over rising Italian star Jasmine Paolini, Krejcikova became the 5th Czech women’s Wimbledon Champion in history and the seventh first time winner of the Venus Rosewater dish in a row.

Britain’s Henry Patten also clinched the Men’s doubles title with his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara in dramatic fashion, saving Championships points to win in a Championship tiebreak. Whilst Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova took home the Ladies doubles title with a closely fought victory on a late night on Centre Court.

Kim and Chris also look ahead to tomorrow’s Men’s Singles final action - a repeat of the 2023 Final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic.

The Wimbledon Draw is out!

Fresh off the back of a trip to The Boodles earlier in the week, Kim and Chris dust off their Wimbledon tents, get their strawberries out and sink their Pimms-stained teeth into the 2023 Wimbledon Singles draws, looking at projected quarter final match ups, top seeds’ pathways and first round highlight matches.

They consider the draws quarter by quarter, make some potentially regrettable predictions and also reveal the anticipated Collect a Set player picks for this year’s Wimbledon edition.

In addition, the latest Wimbledon poster art generates some controversy at Tennis Weekly HQ and we hear from Felix Auger-Aliassime and Borna Coric about which player, past or present, they would join the Wimbledon Queue for.

Danish joy is also abundant with the news that Caroline Wozniacki will be returning to the tennis court in the near future.

The trio also discuss Dodig’s taxi dilemma, Miyu Kato finding joy in the mixed doubles and more Grand Slam success for Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, as well as announcing the French Open Collect A Set 2023 winner which once again came down to a tiebreaker…!

We’ve reached the semi finals stage in Paris with Kim and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ to chat over the last few days of Parisian action.

On the men’s side, they discuss the match that was on everybody’s lips - Carlos Alcaraz vs. Novak Djokovic and whether it lived up to the billing. They also talk about Casper Ruud’s statement win against Alexander Zverev that sees him impressively make back-to-back Roland Garros finals. 

And on the women’s side, the imperious Iga Swiatek continued her brilliant run and Karolina Muchova stunned Aryna Sabalenka to set up an intriguing final prospect as thePole goes for a French Open title hat-trick!

We are getting closer and closer to the business end in Paris with Kim and Chris on hand to mull over all of the thrills and spills (or should that be slides?) from the quarter finals.

This includes Carlos Alcaraz going into full on god mode against Stefanos Tsitsipas to set up a tantalising first ever slam meeting with Novak Djokovic and Ruud defeating Rune in the 'Battle of the Scandis'.

Elsewhere, there was yet more post-match handshake drama to analyse and dissect as Sabalenka and Svitolina faced off at the net whilst Haddad Maia got the better of her close friend on tour Ons Jabeur.

They also provide a further update on Collect-A-Set with the competition down to two for the much coveted (and very elusive) top prize of a Tennis Weekly mug...
