Tennis And Bagels Podcast

No tennis fan today has not heard of Roger Federer. Possibly, anyone who has heard of tennis knows at least the names of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal. In this episode, we talk about how Federer has been a part of our tennis journey, whether we became fans because of him of if he just was, for a long time, synonymous with Tennis and GOAT. As his final match took place alongside Rafael Nadal at th...

Vansh & Hall of Famer Steve Flink did quite the in-depth US Open Recap. Lots of Carlos Alcaraz discussion, defending champion Daniil Medvedev & Australian Open and Roland Garros champion Rafael Nadal losing before the QFs, making sense of the early week 1 upsets, followed by a discussion on Casper Ruud, Frances Tiafoe, and others. Steve gives his thoughts on Iga Swiatek and what made this...

Serena Williams. How can we ever get used to not seeing her name in tournaments again, or wondering when will she come back, after so long of this name being almost synonymous with tennis itself?

NOTE: Amazon Prime is free to watch during the Nadal-Djokovic quarter-final ONLY IN FRANCE. We sit down and try to predict what Novak Djokovic will need to do in order to bear Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros on Tuesday, what can Rafa do to counter any of Nole's tactics, and whether any of their previous matches this year present any clue as to what this match will look like. All we know as that we h...

Iga Swiatek is the favourite for Roland Garros, there's no question about it. It looks like even in her worst, she is just too good for the entire field. Ons Jabeur went on a great winning streak of her own, winning the title in Madrid and reaching the final in Rome the week after, but ran out of steam against the World No.1, raising the actual main question surrounding Swiatek: who will beat her...

In this episode, we go back to some overall thoughts on the last hard court tournament before we finally embark into the clay court season -- which we've been waiting for a long time now! Iga Swiatek got to extreme new heights, not only winning the Sunshine Double with the Miami Open title, but also reaching the World No. 1 ranking, completing a sweep of all WTA 1000 events of the season so far, a...

This week, Owen and Vansh sat down with a pretty special guest. The famous tennis “Superfan” and Queen of the Desert LaWanda.

Never are we ever prepared for a player's retirement. But literally nobody could have prepared for Ashleigh Barty's retirement. The World No. 1 was arguably the most dominant female player since Serena Williams, staying at the top of the game for 120 weeks and winning Wimbledon, Roland Garros, and, her last tournament as it turned out, the Australian Open in 2022. What could we say, all the exciti...

*SORRY ABOUT THE AUDIO QUALITY. Andre's mic cable broke, so he was using the absolutely last resort, the nemesis of any sound editor: the computer mic. What a nightmare. I am really sorry about that* Hi! We were super busy with other life things, so tennis (which was undeniably in a more lukewarm part of the season) took a bit of a backseat place. But we`re HERE! And excited to see what happens at...

Grab a coffee, a bagel, sit back and relax. This episode started with an idea of covering Félix Auger-Aliassime's title run and final run the week after, Carlos Alcaraz's ridiculous talent for tennis, some of the WTA events and that was it. turned out as a rant on the current ATP Top 10 level, how Rublev has plateaued, how the WTA is simply amazing right now with the entire Top 10 and more capable...

Vansh and Owen chat about their favorite Delpo memories: his best matches, how he could push the Big Four, how his physicality was underrated, and much more about Juan Martin Del Potro, now that he's likely retiring as a professional tennis player in the ATP Tour.
