Tennis And Bagels Podcast

In this episode I finally reach the dawn of the Open Era, the one we live in and watch today on our televisions and computers. I talk about the consequences the war had in the world of tennis, albeit briefly, and in SW19. Finally, I reach the period where tennis giants such as Margaret Court, Rod Laver, Ken Rosewall, and Roy Emerson make their appearances and start setting their all-time records....

This podcast is an informative episode about the history of the most famous tennis tournament in the world: Wimbledon, The Championships. Here, I describe and comment a little on the most influential people in the history of the Grand Slam, such as players and founders. Wimbledon is arguably the single most prestigious tennis tournament in the world, and it's history spans now across 3 different c...

This episode was a little rushed in, so sorry if the quality isn't as great! This match is considered by many as the best match of all time. It was certainly one of the greatest, no doubt about it, not just because of great tennis, but because of what it meant at the time: the establishment of Nadal as a force to be recognized in tennis not just on clay, and the end of Federer's complete dominance...

In this episode, I talk about and rank my top 5 WTA players who are active still. There is still so much more about them, it was already difficult to keep this episode under an hour! Throughout, I also make comments on a few differences between the WTA and ATP tour, and leave my suggestion that there could be a tournament like the Elite Trophy and a revision of the rankings system in the ATP tour....

This is my list of my *favourite* (not the players I think are the BEST) players on the ATP tour! I drop a big bomb at the end, I know the last guy I talk about is a big opinion divider. I am going to make more lists, now that the Coronavirus, or COVID-19 outbreak has caused the cancellation, of many tournaments, and will likely continue to cause more. I also mention 2 specific accounts on twitter...

Horrible things are happening. The disease shouldn't be as deadly as it has been, and the best way to avoid more bad numbers and bad news is to make sacrifices. These included cancelling a large chunk of the tennis season. Trying to be a little positive, I focus my attention on what the news might mean for the tennis world, and how unbelievably bored a lot of us are right now that we are trying ou...

Because of the Corona Virus, or COVID-19, Indian Wells, which had issued new health guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus, now won't be held this year anymore. Miami says they'll go on, but at this point, uncertainty is the rule, not the exception. And this will likely affect other tournaments and sporting events - mainly the Tokyo Olympics. I think all eyes will be turning there really so...

Just to clarify: I think watching Challenger tournaments on a SCREEN is boring. Pretty much and live professional match is good, and I am all for better pay and opportunity for lower ranked players, especially because talent is not at all the defining variable in anyone's career's equation. I would love to go out and watch a challenger in Granby, or Quebec, for example! Also, Another thing that wi...

It's incredibly hard to cover 2 weeks in 30 minutes. There's obviously way too much info, but I tried to focus on what mattered, firstly in an overall tennis view, then on Canadians (which I really want to see doing well), and my own interests. So, Big 3 giving no signs of relenting, Roger Federer skipping clay court season and Indian Wells and Miami because of a knee surgery, shout outs to Canadi...

Quick episode as there's not much going on around the tennis world. Clijsters is back from retirement (again), Pospisil drinks more maple syrup, Auger-Aliassime makes the final of Rotterdam but loses to an in-form Monfils. And seriously, why the heck can't the ATP and WTA and any other tennis organization upload good quality video? Not in content, just image quality sucks so much. Just why. It's 2...

I talk a little bit about the Australian Open Champions, new gen, Big Three, Serena Williams, and the year to come. Not too much because at this point you all already know everything that happened lol. And I'm switching times to MONDAYS so that I will be a bit fresher in terms of the events I am talking about!

My thoughts on how the Australian Open app has been terrible until I decided to talk about it. And a lot of talking about the ATP next gen: are they going to be able to finally challenge the Big 3? Is a new generation of female players rising to dominate the game and become all-time greats? I don't have a clue, I can watch about 40% of all matches I want to watch. But I can hope, and the end of th...

What I think about the ATP Cup and some thoughts on the Australian Open this year, and why I think this decade is shaping up to be very interesting in both Women's and Men's tennis because of the new players coming in. Still would love for Djokovic to keep his title though :) --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tennis-and-bagels/message Favourite this podcast if you like our work :) SUB...
