There are strong cases for Novak Djokovic - who has won 22 Grand Slams including two French Open titles - and Carlos Alcaraz, who has been a threat at every tournament he plays over the last year, but is there an argument for anyone else? Daniil Medvedev appeared to turn a corner with his recent title in Rome, and Holger Rune fears no one, least of all Novak Djokovic who he has beaten twice in the...

#rolandgarros #rolandgarros2023 #rolandgarros #rolandgarros2023 In the final episode of Nick's weekly round-up during the clay season, Talking Tennis looks back on the last week in tennis but more importantly forward to the French Open.

When Rafael Nadal was hobbling around the Rod Laver Arena in January at this year’s Australian Open there seemed little doubt that this would be nothing more than a minor setback in a career that has seen plenty of injury downs followed by trophy-lifting highs. He lost his match against Mackenzie McDonald but the clay season wasn’t far away and we all know how that normally pans out for the 22-tim...

Elena Rybakina overcame Anhelina Kalinina in the Italian Open final as the Ukrainian retired hurt at the beginning of the second set. But the organisers of the tournament in Rome have come in for heavy criticism as rain wreaked havoc with the scheduling. All this and more as Nick speaks with Guardian journalist Tumaini Carayol. #wta #frenchopen #rome #italianopen2023 This podcast is available on.....

Daniil Medvedev won the Rome title after never previously having won a match in the Italian capital.

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz remain on course to meet in the final in the Italian Open but who would be the favourite? Maybe Jannik Sinner can finally get his first Masters 1000 title in front of his home crowd or maybe Holger Rune can deliver in the Eternal City? #atp #tennis #rome #italianopen This podcast is available on...

With Rome reaching the halfway stage, Nick and a special guest analyse the previous seven days in women's tennis.

Has Jan-Lennard Struff set the template for players who come up against Carlos Alcaraz? Or is that style of tennis just not sustainable? And what now for Struff after his heroics in the Spanish capital? Was that his moment in the sun or is he going to be a permanent fixture when it comes to title challenges in the coming months? And where has Aslan Karatsev been for the last two years? There has b...

Aryna Sabalenka overcame Iga Swiatek 6-3 3-6 6-3 in one of the matches of the year. Can Sabalenka challenge Swiatek on the clay in Rome and Paris? Should Iga be worried after her first loss on clay in almost two years or is it merely a blip? And where now for Maria Sakkari and Jessica Pegula who ran into familiar woes? #wta #tennis #madridopen #mmopen #swiatek #sabalenka #gauff #sakkari #kudermeto...

While it was Madrid joy for Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek had to settle for second best on the day.

Nick is joined by Vansh to discuss the last seven days in women's tennis which saw Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova get her first tour win in 15 months, Laura Siegemund become a friend of the show, and Coco Gauff's forehand break down quicker than a 1980s Skoda. Iga Swiatek, meanwhile, has continued her serene path in Madrid, but will the conditions in the Spanish capital give others more of a chance? Mea...

Carlos Alcaraz was close to going a set and a break down in his first match in Madrid against Finland's Emil Ruusuvuori but the Spaniard performed his now customary heroics to complete a comeback to the delight of the home crowd. Holger Rune came even closer to defeat as he saved a match point before sealing his spot in Round 3 at the expense of Alexander Bublik. In contrast, Daniil Medvedev seren...

Damian and John round-up all the latest from the Spanish capital with all of Round One completed and half of Round Two. Leylah Fernandez crashed out to 15-year-old Mirra Andreeva and the teenager repeated the trick by beating Beatriz Haddad Maia. Meanwhile, lucky loser Jan-Lennard Struff got even luckier, as he went on to Round Two. The same could not be said of Andy Murray, who lost in straight s...

Jan-Lennard Struff, after such a good run in Monte Carlo and tearing up the qualifiers all year, lost out Aslan Karatsev, in what was brutal draw for the German. Benoit Paire has also joined the main draw party in Madrid while on the women's side there were wins Laura Siegemund and Eugenie Bouchard. This podcast is available on...

Van de Zandschulp later tweeted "this one hurts." T...

Rafael Nadal has announced he will not be competing at the Madrid Masters event due to get underway next week. More worryingly, he said he was uncertain when he will be able to return, merely that he hoped it would be before the end of the clay-court season. So what next for the 22-time Grand Slam winner? Anything from a return in Rome or for the French Open, to even retirement has been spoken of....
