Chip n Charge Tennis Podcast

Should the BBC be airing the 'battle of the sexes' between Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka and what are the potential consequences it could have on women's tennis and sport? Is Serena Williams coming back after rumours emerged that she has re-entered the ITIA's anti-doping testing pool? The great 5 set vs 3 set debate and should there be equality in the format for both men's and women's events? Why is it that the same player's tend to be the ones constantly injured? What is the current state and future of British tennis? Join Nick and Kyle as they convene at the Chip n Charge Tennis Podcast Studios to answer all these questions and more on this week's listener question special!*NEWSLETTER/SUBSTACK*Sign up to our newsletter where we post regular tennis articles and updates from the podcast here!*SOCIAL MEDIA*Follow us on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, BlueSky and X!*SUPPORT US*You can donate to us here!- All proceeds will go into better improving the podcast.*GET IN TOUCH!*Please send in any questions, queries, comments, concerns or feedback here to our email address ([email protected])Or send us a voice message here!Click here for all of our accounts, websites and links!If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5 star review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts, share this episode to anyone you think may enjoy it too and be sure to join us in the next one!

On today's Ep, Nick is joined by Calvin Betton at the CnCTP studios. Calvin is a professional coach currently working with ATP Doubles no.3 in the world Henry Patten and world no.38 Luke Johnson, where collectively they have won 11 titles including 2 grand slams under Calvin's guidance. Calvin discusses the incredible end of the season Henry and Harri had in 2025 wining Paris and the ATP Finals back-to-back, before getting into his journey in tennis from playing as a junior and competitively in his late teens, to coaching at grassroots in the UK to becoming one of the top coaches in the world and winning Grand Slams. He chats about his coaching styles both on the practice court and preparing for matches using data analysis and match reports. He talks through the remarkable build-up to winning Wimbledon and the run itself as well as how it differed to winning in Melbourne earlier this year. We also get into the current state of doubles and how the tours need to improve in the marketing and promotion of the sport and how they are even going out of their way to prevent this change from happening.
