Description
<p>Catherine, David and Matt discuss the opening week of action in Miami which has delivered plenty of shocks, controversial moments, and talking points. </p><p><strong>Part one - ATP Results. </strong>Why did all the Indian Wells semi-finalists lose early? What’s up with Carlos Alcaraz right now? And just how good was Joao Fonseca’s performance to beat Ugo Humbert? There’s also discussion about a scheduling bungling, getting to know Colman Wong, Novak Djokovic’s form so far, and David has a big Gael Monfils take to share. </p><p><strong>Part two - WTA Results (from 32m03s) </strong>Matt takes us through all the drama and aggro involving Amanda Anisimova and Mirra Andreeva as Anisimova stopped Andreeva’s 13-match winning streak in the battle of the backhand listers. We also discuss the wonderful run of Alexandra Eala, Emma Raducanu’s impressive win over Emma Navarro, and the way the Last 16 line-up is nicely set. </p><p><strong>Part three - News (from 55m09s) </strong>Our reaction to the PTPA’s legal action against the Tours and what the player response so far means. </p><br><p>STEVE FURGAL’S INTERNATIONAL TENNIS TOURS: </p><p>Our partners for the Sunshine Double have opened a Priority Access window for Tennis Podcast listeners before they go on sale to the general public so that you can get premium seating, top tier accommodations and personalised enhancements at the 2026 Miami Open.</p><p>And, as a thank you for securing your spot early, Steve Furgal’s International Tennis Tours are offering an exclusive 5% discount towards your official travel packages when you place a Priority Access deposit.</p><p>Just go to <a href="http://tours4tennis.com/Podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast</a> to book your place at the 2026 Miami Open.</p><br><p>Become a <a href="https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friend of the Tennis Podcast</a> to receive exclusive access to bonus podcasts, including Tennis Re-Lived episodes, Grand Slam Review Shows, and monthly Live Shows on YouTube.
