  • Iga Turns To Roig & Rafa, Jodar Wins His 1st ATP Title + Analytics Guru Craig O'Shannessy Reveals Winning Patterns

    Iga Turns To Roig & Rafa, Jodar Wins His 1st ATP Title + Analytics Guru Craig O'Shannessy Reveals Winning Patterns
    Apr 8 2026
    In this episode of THE BIG T, Brad Gilbert welcomes Nick Monroe to the podcast as they slide onto the red clay of Monte Carlo and recap the movers and shakers from Houston, Charleston and Marrakech. From Tommy Paul's fighting spirit and Jess Pegula's back to back dominance to a Rocky Balboa-esque feel-good story, this episode covers it all. Gilbert and Monroe examine Iga Swiatek's mission in Mallorca with new coach Francisco Roig under the watchful eye of the 'King Of Clay' himself, Rafa Nadal. Speaking of 'Rafas,' Rafa Jodar is a topic of interest this week as BG and Nick look into the Spanish phenom's game and his first ATP Tour title. Jodar's opponent in the Marrakech final was the Argentine Marco Trungelliti who against all odds became the oldest first-time ATP Tour finalist since 1969 and became the oldest player in 51 years to make his Top 100 debut. Known for blowing the whistle on match-fixing in 2015, this breakthrough is seen as a major career vindication for the Argentine and Monroe goes deep into this story of redemption and resilience. Special guest Craig O'Shannessy joins the BIG T as well to explore tennis analytics and how his data driven systems have recently helped Stefanos Tsitsipas and Matteo Berrettini overcome rough patches in their game. Plus, Geoff Chizever brings back the BANK OR SHANK segment and your Fanmail will reveal how players choose their doubles partners.

  • It's Clay Time with Special Guest Jessica Pegula + THE BIG T Awards at the Quarter Mark

    It's Clay Time with Special Guest Jessica Pegula + THE BIG T Awards at the Quarter Mark
    Apr 1 2026
    This week it’s CLAY TIME on the BIG T Podcast. Andrea Petkovic is joined by Charleston’s own Alison Riske-Amritraj as they discuss the annual transition from the hard courts to the clay. The hosts talk about their own struggles - and successes - on the ‘dirt’ and which players benefit most on both the European red clay and the less common ‘green’ version played in the USA. Special guest Jessica Pegula joins the show and explains why winning the Credit One Charleston Open title in 2025 was one of her biggest goals. Pegula discusses why ‘staying true to herself’ was something she had to learn as she climbed the ranks on the WTA Tour. She also talks about THE PLAYERS BOX podcast she hosts with Madison Keys, Jennifer Brady, and Desirae Krawczyk, and even shares why she misses arguing with umpires! The episode wraps up with viewer fanmail, including a video submission from a familiar face who’s never been to Charleston and wants advice on what to do there. Then Petko and Ali give their ‘Quarter Season Awards’ to their favorite players and moments from the start of the 2026 Tennis Season.

  • Alcaraz Stunner, Iga Coaching Change + Special Guest: Iva Jovic

    Alcaraz Stunner, Iga Coaching Change + Special Guest: Iva Jovic
    Mar 25 2026
    We kickoff this episode of THE BIG T with Andrea Petkovic and Mark Petchey taste testing the $100 Golden Glizzy Caviar Hotdog in Miami where Week Two of tennis action serves up stunning upsets and incredible matchups. Iga Swiatek parts ways with coaching guru Wim Fissette and Petchey and Petko analyze who could be next for the former World Cup #1. Could THE BIG T’s own Brad Gilbert get a call or will we see a familiar face in Iga’s corner? What would coach Petchey do to fix Iga’s game and help her find the right balance of aggression and defense? In this episode we also look into the stunning upset of Carlos Alcaraz at the hands of Seb Korda. American phenom, Iva Jovic joins Andrea Petkovic to discuss her first full season on the WTA Tour. She opens up about the new challenges of life on tour, learning to handle losses in a healthier way, and her morning battles vs. her alarm clock and snooze button. Plus, she shares which tennis legend she’d most want to sit down with for dinner. A candid conversation with one of the game’s most exciting young prospects. João Fonseca’s forehand is already one of the most talked-about shots in tennis — but how does it stack up against… everything else? In this episode, Mark Petchey puts Andrea Petkovic through a hilarious challenge: choosing between Fonseca’s forehand and a series of unique options — from a $100 caviar hot dog to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick. A fun, unpredictable segment that shows a lighter side of tennis debate. Is Jannik Sinner Too “Robotic”? Fonseca’s Take Sparks Debate Did João Fonseca just sum up Jannik Sinner’s game — or oversimplify it? Petchey and Petko react to Fonseca’s comments comparing Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, suggesting that Alcaraz brings more variety while Sinner plays a more “robotic” style. Is that an accurate assessment — or is there a better way to describe Sinner’s relentless, precise approach? A thoughtful breakdown of two of the biggest stars shaping the future of tennis.
