The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast

Rennae and Caitlin discuss a momentous week one at Wimbledon, with no remaining champions in the women’s draw and some scintillating matchups looming on both sides. Who do we got? You’ll have to listen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

9 x Wimbledon doubles champ Todd Woodbridge and fellow Aussie joins the pod this week to discuss Wimbledon 2026 and the return of the goat.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After Tiafoe’s career-defining week and Serena’s surprise Wimbledon entry, the road to SW19 is anything but predictable. Rennae gets into all of this and Reader Q's.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rennae is live and direct from Berlin, where she’s steering the comeback efforts of one Serena Williams ahead of the Williams Sisters reunion at Wimbledon. Plus: grass recaps and reader questions. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rennae joins us from the SERENA WILLIAMS TRAINING CAMP to discuss the tail end of the French Open. We talk women’s tournament results (the good, bad, and of course, ugly) and touch on… the other stuff. Also: getting into the secrets we’ve been keeping from each other and Serena’s return to grass courts and her return to pro tennis! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy i...

If chaos is a ladder, this calamitous Roland Garros offers all the men the opportunity of a lifetime to climb. Rennae and Caitlin break down the massive results, the on-court (litigation provoking) obstacles and tackle reader questions. France, if you don’t behave we are taking away your Slam. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Early exits, shocking losses, and nonstop unpredictability at the French Open, and what’s behind all the outrage over a dinner party? Rennae holds nothing back, delivering candid takes on it all. Plus, lots of reader Qs.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After we recover from the highs and lows (and sure, why not—whoas) from Rome, we're already on the precipice of the next Slam of the year. We're gonna call it the French Open, not Roland-Garros, and you can't make us.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The illustrious comedian (and D1 college athlete) joins Rennae for  the second time to talk all things Rome, thirst traps, journeymen and everything in between. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While that describes the absolute carnage in Madrid on the WTA side of things, the men's tournament fizzled out... hard. We run back the highs, lows & whoas of Spain's Master's 1000 and look ahead to who is gonna be backflipping into Rome (and beyond).  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, we're talking about the court position taken by doubles team Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini. Also ugly is the preventive (we hope?) withdrawal of Carlitos from the rest of clay court season. Plus: BTS from the new (superlative) Rafael Nadal doc that's about to drop on Netflix, and update to the roiling NCAA controversy as the University of Arkansas axes it's entire tennis program, and, of co...

Caitlin's back in the chat, fam. We talk about the incredible tennis being played on the red clay from Linz to Stuttgart, Barcelona and Munich—and why Benny Shell's secured the first US male tournament win since Agassi in '02. PLUS: a look at the dwindling Americans in US college tennis and we upgrade our reader Q's to regular segment. Keep 'em coming! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy...

Clay season is fully underway and the red clay of Europe is where it's all going down. Rennae talks Monte Carlo & Linz and takes reader questions. Helmets on! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miami is over, and the Sunshine Doubles singles players (and Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova in women's doubles) repeated—hats off to Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka for doing the extremely difficult. Rennae expounds on what happened and why—as well as where we go from here as clay season looms... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We gotta get them there, no matter the cost—ok tournaments? A breakdown of Indian Wells, the return of accursed traveler Daniil Medvedev, what's up with Iga? and a little preview of a new and improved Miami. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rennae and Caitlin discuss bad behavior online and oncourt—from neckbeard gamblers harassing players to commentator tete a tetes.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Of course Rennae and Caitlin beam in from a Racquet Retreat in the desert to get into the first great tournament on US soil, Indian Wells! But first, we touch base on what's up for the future of the USTA: Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley's appointment as CEO of the US governing body and how it needs to change. Plus: Serena's comeback seems realer by the minute. See omnystudio.com/listener for priv...

Live from Melbourne, Rennae and Petko break down the men's and women's draw ahead of the Australian Open—from who's in form to who's in trouble, the Happy Slam promises to have it all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

e do our damndest not to talk ONLY about Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who were so clearly ahead of the rest of the pack that it's hard not to give them all the awards. Plus: what do players like Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton and Alex Zverev need to do to be competitive with the elite pack?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the podiums to the pork chops, we review the year's highs, lows and whoas. Plus: Coco Gauff is the new face of the Mercedes Benz's WTA title sponsorship, and is Serena actually really coming back despite what she says on social media? We think the answer is... yes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spain and Italy can't keep their hands off each other, and Rennae ever so slightly relents on the weekly topic of Justine Henin's majestic backhand! As always, we're here to solve all of tennis' problems—from the NCAAs to PTPAs, Tour Finals (just join em, already!) and of course, team competition. As ever, we're thankful for all of you! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We recap the (predictably, but satisfying) ATP Tour Finals, discuss the Gazprom Open, bid farewell to Chris Eubanks and debate the justifiable entry into the International Tennis Hall of Fame of the GOAT (in our house, her name is Mary Carillo) as well as some guy named Roger Federer. Plus: who got snubbed and why? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, we recap the WTA Finals on-court results and off-court statements (looking at you on both counts, Elena Rybakina!) and preview what we hope is an exciting ATP Finals. In the spirit of constructive criticism, any billionaire who wants to pay for the year-end tournament to be in front of a rowdy crowd gets a free tennis lesson from Rennae among other prizes! See omnystudio.com/listener for priv...

We love the new Battle of the Sexes! Just kidding, we hate it and its cynical, gross and insultingly crude existence. We talk all things WTA Finals—matchups, blowouts, blowups and more, as well as go in depth about the brilliant critique of the failure of tennis' establishment to offer good digital content. Sorry, but watching players create meme content is an insult to our intelligence. Plu...

After an action-packed week, Rennae and Caitlin are back, and the end of the year is staring us down the barrel! We talk Saudi Masters 1000, Mira Andreeva's visa snafu and lessons for everyone to learn. If you're gonna wake up in the morning and play pro tennis, come to WIN. Otherwise, call it a day and head to the Maldives.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
