  • Roland Garros Chaos: Sinner Falls, Djokovic's Dream Ends & New Champions Rise
    Jun 3 2026

    We're releasing this episode a day early because quite frankly, Roland Garros has descended into complete chaos and there was no way we could wait until Thursday. In what might be the most unpredictable Grand Slam in years, Jannik Sinner is out, Novak Djokovic is gone, Coco Gauff's title defence is over, and the draw has been turned completely on its head. Andrea and Theo break down all the biggest shocks from Paris, including Joao Fonseca's breakout run, Matteo Berrettini's incredible comeback, the controversy surrounding Casper Ruud's defeat, and why this tournament has delivered far more drama than anyone expected.

    Away from the tennis, there is plenty of off-court chaos too. The girls discuss the latest Roland Garros controversies, from scheduling disputes and umpiring drama to a coach allegedly ghosting his player mid-tournament and one player receiving the largest fine in French Open history. Plus, Naomi Osaka's headline-making fashion choices, Serena Williams' surprise return, and our updated predictions for who will lift the trophies at the end of the most chaotic French Open either of us can remember.

  • The Sweatiest French Open Ever?
    May 28 2026

    Day two at Roland-Garros and things are already spiralling. Theo, Andrea and Daily Mail tennis correspondent Tamara Prenn unpack the chaos of the French Open so far - from brutal heatwave conditions and mounting injuries to Novak Djokovic’s bizarre wolf jacket era and Aryna Sabalenka’s luxury fashion drama. They debate whether physical durability now matters more than actual tennis level, and ask whether anyone can really stop Jannik Sinner.

    Plus: the viral “diarrhea incident” taking over tennis Twitter, the controversy around Sabalenka’s Gucci bag and diamond necklaces, Nike accidentally sabotaging their own athlete rollout, and the wider player protest brewing around media obligations and prize money. It’s sweaty, chaotic, slightly unhinged and peak Grand Slam energy.

  • The Art of the Post-Match Interview with Blair Henley
    May 14 2026

    What’s actually going through an interviewer’s head during a 7-6 nail-biter in the third set? This week, tennis media powerhouse Blair Henley joins Andrea to break down the high-stakes art of the post-match interview and the "Plan A" philosophy she uses to get players to open up. We dive into the grit of the freelance hustle, the "shelf life" of being a woman on camera, and why she’s never afraid to walk through the door when a player gives an unexpected answer.

    Blair also shares the hilarious chaos of her "fake it till you make it" origins, from being her own DJ on Court 17 to convincing the pros to race golf carts dressed as Mario Kart characters. Whether she’s building trust in the player dining room or asking about twerking skills on the ATP’s world feed, Blair’s "worst they can say is no" energy is a masterclass in showcasing the personalities that make us fall in love with the sport.

  • The Sinner Sweep: Is Anyone Even Close?
    May 7 2026

    Theo and Andrea recap a wild week in Madrid where Jannik Sinner continued his path to total world domination, leaving a frustrated Alexander Zverev in the dust. Sinner is now one Rome title away from a historic Career Golden Masters, and the girls are asking: can literally anyone stop him? On the women’s side, things were much more chaotic: Marta Kostyuk clinched her first WTA 1000 title with a celebratory backflip, navigating a final packed with high-stakes tension and geopolitical drama.

    The real show-stealer, however, was the viral "on-court domestic" between Anastasia Potapova and boyfriend Tallon Griekspoor - a bickering match that might just be the new meta for player coaching. Between Hailey Baptiste snapping rackets, Rafael Jodar winning over the home crowd, and Rafael Nadal waving the flag at the F1 Miami GP, the duo covers all the highlights you might have missed while recovering from Madrid’s infamous shrimp tacos.

    Theo and Andrea break down the devastating news that Carlos Alcaraz has withdrawn from the French Open. As a wrist injury threatens to derail the young star's clay season, Theo and Andrea look back at the cautionary tales of Dominic Thiem and Juan Martín del Potro, questioning what this means for the long-term future of the "Carlitos" era. In a bizarre twist of fate, Theo reveals she nursed the exact same injury - proving that life really does mirror the tour.


    The drama continues off the court as the pair discuss the "subtle" breakup confirmation from Morgan Riddle and the literal poisoning of the draw - shoutout to the Madrid player dining for the shrimp taco debacle that’s left half the tour clutching their stomachs. Plus, they look ahead to a wide-open Madrid field, scouting the "new" Rafa (Jodar), debating whether Novak is the clear favourite for his 25th Slam, and manifesting a Met Gala appearance for Alcaraz while he’s on the sidelines.

  • Behind the Scenes of Life on the Tennis Tour with Emily Snyder
    Apr 23 2026

    Theo and Andrea are joined by Emily Snyder for a candid look at what life around professional tennis really feels like beyond the rankings and results. Based in Monaco, Emily shares how she met Valentin Vacherot, how she unexpectedly found herself immersed in the tennis world, and what it has been like to support his rise from the ITF and Challenger circuits to the ATP Tour and the top 20. Together they unpack the reality of tour life, from constant travel and shifting schedules to the emotional whiplash of breakthrough moments, injury setbacks, and the huge contrast between grinding through smaller events and arriving on the sport’s biggest stages.


    The episode also explores the personal side of that journey: building a life in Monaco, maintaining identity and independence while living around the tour, and navigating the new visibility that comes with tennis and social media. Emily reflects on Val’s breakthrough week in Shanghai, the chaos behind the scenes, and why his run in Monte Carlo felt even more meaningful with family and friends around him. With plenty of stories, humour, and behind-the-scenes detail, Theo, Andrea, and Emily get into everything from superstitions and tour-life icks to what people still misunderstand about the lifestyle surrounding pro tennis.
