Just a reminder that Saudi Arabia is not the only place in the world where human rights are imperiled. Tennis goes on in plenty of problematic places in the world, including right-wing majority-White places. The focus on a Muslim non-White country is starting to feel uncomfortable.

Great insight on Novak… yep - still not a fan. Still love Goran though.

If you’re looking for thoughtful adults to provide fun and engaging analysis on tennis, this is it. Catherine is a great host, and the big/brother little/sister relationship between her and David (along with the years they’ve worked together) really makes it feel like a family. Throw in young Matt and his incredible ability to bring fresh takes on what he sees through stats/data and you have magic. These three love tennis, and it shows in every episode. They don’t take themselves too seriously, they don’t take the game too seriously - they just make tennis more fun. And they have lovely voices that just make a guy feel good. Thanks to them for somehow making me love tennis even more. Oh - and their paid (“Friends of the Tennis Podcast”) level is 100% worth it. The “Re-Lived” episodes are incredible. Just when I think they can’t top themselves - they do. No notes guys - please keep doing it forever.

Generally good content and insights but sometimes they spend too much time complaining about stuff.

I’ve been listening to David, Catherine and Matt for three years. They’re chemistry is fantastic and always puts me in a wonderful mood. I look forward to their podcasts, live shows and weekly newsletters. They are the best!

Especially during slams, even when I watch every ATP/WTA singles match I’m invested in, follow all of the news, and engage in all of the gossip on Tennis Twitter, I can still rely on learning something new and enjoying humorous, expert insight every single evening with the gang. Outside of the slams, it’s arguably even more exciting, as I can keep up with the entire tour even if I’m only catching a few select matches per week. Hats off to Catherine, David, Matt, as well as Matthew and Hannah. Support them by joining the Friends of the Tennis club and you’ll get to explore some of their special, exclusive content for just the price of a coffee. — @mnczuba

A full fledge of fantastic takes on the game that connect me to the tour. The personalities of the podcast are interesting, honest, fun, and smartly contagious to listen to. As a long time fan of the sport, the tennis podcast is a valuable asset to those who are following the tour and for those who are fringe supporters will have a greater appreciation for tennis after listening.

David, Catherine, and Matt make for compelling weekly listens and daily during slams. The content available for friends of the show keeps me going in between. Lively conversations among people who palpably like and respect each other. I am grateful to spend so much time with their smart civilized and so so funny voices in my head.

I love the show and all aspects of it. I’m so glad they release on Mondays, they make it a bit more bearable!

I absolutely love this podcast. I started listening in late 2018 on my honeymoon, back when Matt was Grad Matt and I’ve been hooked ever since. I look forward to every new episode they put out and i love the fun relationship these three clearly have.

Great trio of hosts that liven up all that is going on in the tour.

The best go sleep podcast!!

Making jokes on episode 1171 about “making women cry” was awful. Abuse is nothing to joke about. I’m so disappointed in all y’all.

I got into tennis a couple of years ago, and searched for tennis podcasts so I could learn more and just generally fuel my new obsession. I listened to many tennis podcasts, but this is the only one I never miss an episode of. Aways entertaining and interesting, and I love the trio of Catherine, David, and Matt too

Could you possibly be any more whiny about the scheduling? Mostly I enjoy the podcast but seriously Catherine’s whining is boring. If you don’t enjoy what you’re doing, stop doing it! So glad Australia and Canada are great countries. WTH…

Please do more shows! Great analysis and commentary. Tennis lovers’ #1 pod!

I have just completed one full year of listening to the Tennis Podcast! I recommend listening to this great trio of banter on Tennis. They have a great sense of humor ! I mostly agree with their take in the tennis at large. Even though they are not Sinner fans! I’m a huge fan! Cheers! Sandra

I absolutely love this podcast. All three of the hosts are knowledgeable, funny and warm. They create compelling content every single week and I never miss a single episode. For a tennis fanatic like myself, this is a great highlight of my week. I love learning about the politics in the tennis world in addition to learning about the ins and outs of tennis from week to week.

Always has to bring politics in it. Always complaining no matter how much a tournament bends. First no women’s night match. Us open does it that and she still complains they’re on last. She just has to complain every episode usually bashing anyone who doesn’t agree with her politically. Because of course her opinion is superior

Im quie addicted to this podcast. I wish it were daily. It offers a Britsh perspective and news you wouldnt get elsewhere.

I used to listening to every episode of the Tennis Podcast. But I stopped listening a while ago. Too much gossip, near zero tennis technical analysis. Unbearable overhyping British players. This is not a professional podcast.

Hand down — thanks!!

Love this show since 2020. The episode with Robin Solderling interview is my favorite. It will be great to add more episodes with player interviews like that to cover those unforgettable moments of tennis history

What happened to the Tennis Podcast? It pains me to say that Catherine’s ego diminishes the once lively banter. I’m a feminist, but Catherine’s simplification of complex geopolitical issues, women’s rights and the economics of professional sports is so irritating that I often turn away. Suggestion… rotate the moderator so Matt, David & Catherine have a voice. And, Catherine, stop putting down David. You sound ageist.

The pod is generally quite good. Great coverage and typically great analysis. One major hole is the unquestioned Joker worship. Would love a broader perspective on how his approach is not sportsman like to, at times, rule breaking. Shouldn’t celebrate these sons when they come under such dubious circumstances.

Love this podcast - highlight of my week when a new episode is released. And the daily shows during the slams are a must listen.

These hosts have lovely personalities, and I enjoy the witty banter and inside jokes. I would love to hear more in-depth technical analysis. Particularly enjoy when they have special guests on to diversify opinions and bring in new perspectives and experience. The hosts genuinely seem to enjoy each other’s company and friendship. The only downside is the ever-increasing focus on politics. Sometimes light hearted commentary can turn into what almost seems like a lecture to listeners. Many of us agree with your political perspectives, but nevertheless wish that they would not consume so much of the airtime.

Catherine, Matt and David are delightful, knowledgeable, funny and insightful. This podcast is a great way to stay up to date with WTA and ATP happenings and results. Their daily podcasts during slams is a game changer. Thank you to all of them.

I followed the French and now Wimbledon championships and the hosts are engaging, real, and funny. The insights and takes on the players, especially the 2nd and 3rd tier players, is unmatched. I have learned a lot about those players and now I have hopes for the the future of tennis when the last of the big 3 retires. It is the best, thank you.

Intelligent analysis, companionable vibes, deep appreciation for the game. I love their weekly shows throughout the year and absolutely live for the daily shows during the majors. I heartily disagree with other commenters who take objection to the show’s politics—I think Catherine, David, and Matt take on important issues with thoughtfulness, respect, and urgency that’s often sadly merited by the society we live in. I’ve recommended the show to countless friends and am excited to continue to do so!

Love the daily podcasts during the slams, and then the weekly ones the rest of the year. They have such a good rapport with each other, which always makes it a fun listen.

I started watching Tennis within the last 4 years and this podcast has added so much to my love of the sport. Grand Slams are made so much better by my excitement for the daily pods and there is no where else I’d rather get my tennis news! Catherine, David and Matt are an absolute joy and I can’t thank them enough for how much they’ve added to my enjoyment of tennis as a new fan!

These 3 make for an entertaining, often insightful post match day analysis, topped off with sometimes hilariously calamitous tournament predictions… which eventually lead to omni-directional sh.t-giving on a following episode. A breath of fresh air, compared to other erroneously overconfident tennis commentators (not naming names, Chris Fowler). One or all of the three alway goes the extra mile to get the sports journalistic scoop on current tennis events, while bringing humanity to the matter. I very much enjoy having you guys in my ear.

This podcast is a balm, especially during slams. The interpersonal dynamics are lively, cozy and charming, with the occasional prickly or awkward exchange, but they’re like family, so that comes with the territory, I would think. They have created a real community of modern tennis lovers, so all credit to them for that! (And anyone who dislikes this podcast for political reasons is creepy.)

I’m a long-time listener, love the regular episodes and all the new stuff you’re doing with Friends of the show and Live From Wimbledon. This podcast adds so many extra layers to my tennis fandom: laughter, insight, historical context, political advocacy, and just sharing your love of the game! Your friendship comes across so naturally and is a joy to listen to. Thanks for everything you do!

When I am having a bad day I listen to Matt, Catherine and David, and my mood is automatically lifted! I will stay up late in the US to get their take on tennis scores for the day. It is my dream to someday meet the dream team at a live tennis event-maybe Indian Wells next spring?!?!

Best tennis podcast out there and my favorite podcast out of any.

I listened to this podcast for the first time this year during the French Open, and enjoyed the insights and humor! But between then and now, the feminism and woke agenda they continue spouting has become overpowering, and I find myself cringing whenever social or political issues are brought up (and this is coming from a woman)! It’s a shame these podcasters ostracize so many of their listeners for the sake of discussing “equality,” when I don’t think they have considered the other side of things once! The credibility, knowledge, and funny banter is there, but unfortunately it’s not enough to keep me listening.

Sadly Catherine is insufferable, followed narrowly by David. If ‘woke’ is your thing then tune in. They need analysis from actual tennis players who understand the game. They also need to accept the men’s and women’s game is different - which is fine.

Always a delight to listen as they exchange insights, good natured humor and a love of the game. Best of all is the chemistry, mutual respect and appreciation for one another. So very rare and so very much appreciated.

Love the chemistry, love the insights, and the tennis talk. Never miss an episode.

Really enjoy the tennis related content. I will no longer listen to this podcast because of the political commentary the hosts cannot help themselves from pushing despite the claims they know the listeners are here for sports related content.

David, Catherine, and Matt are tennis experts and a joy to listen to. They ask the hard questions and also have fun along the way. I subscribe to their “friends of” and am incredibly appreciate of the work they do. Easy 5 stars.

This was a reference to their pod on French open semi’s. What lovely voices…. And real substance to what they say. Great chemistry between the trio. And did I mention those Brit accents! Bravo

I love funny Brits. I don’t care that their predictions are off. They have a great perspective of the game and tennis would not be the same for me without them.

What can I say about a tennis podcast that gives me a wealth of information on current goings on but also laughter and seriousness. Learned a lot about tennis just from listening to this pod. In-depth news about players; the good, the bad, and the not so pretty stuff. I could go on forever. And this threesome can be very naught at times; the hysterically funny–naughty. It doesn’t take much for K to be boldly bad; David and Matt are more of the subtle–type baddies. Love the shoutouts and pet stuff. Good luck gal and guys on a most fun tennis podcast.

What used to be a crisp, fun wander into all things tennis has become a smug gathering of hosts name dropping, ranting repeatedly about same topics, one host appearing on a podcast sarcastically poking at the very ‘friends’ of the Pod who support them. Clearly, humbleness has lost love and love.

These podcasts have really deteriorated. Too much idle chitchat. Too much politics. Very little analysis. Unfortunately, these have largely become a waste of time.

The podcast is nice in that it provides analysis and insight I would otherwise not get. The issue is the length and irrelevance of over half the runtime. Of an hour long episode, 40 minutes is not related to tennis but general musings or observations of the hosts or talking about what they did that day. Sometimes I’ll angrily turn off the episode when they are a good ways in and still talking about weather in their local neighborhood. Less is more!
