Advertise on podcast: The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast

Caitlin's back in the chat, fam. We talk about the incredible tennis being played on the red clay from Linz to Stuttgart, Barcelona and Munich—and why Benny Shell's secured the first US male tournament win since Agassi in '02. PLUS: a look at the dwindling Americans in US college tennis and we upgrade our reader Q's to regular segment. Keep 'em coming! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Clay season is fully underway and the red clay of Europe is where it's all going down. Rennae talks Monte Carlo & Linz and takes reader questions. Helmets on! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miami is over, and the Sunshine Doubles singles players (and Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova in women's doubles) repeated—hats off to Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka for doing the extremely difficult. Rennae expounds on what happened and why—as well as where we go from here as clay season looms... See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We gotta get them there, no matter the cost—ok tournaments? A breakdown of Indian Wells, the return of accursed traveler Daniil Medvedev, what's up with Iga? and a little preview of a new and improved Miami. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rennae and Caitlin discuss bad behavior online and oncourt—from neckbeard gamblers harassing players to commentator tete a tetes.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Of course Rennae and Caitlin beam in from a Racquet Retreat in the desert to get into the first great tournament on US soil, Indian Wells! But first, we touch base on what's up for the future of the USTA: Tennis Australia CEO Craig Tiley's appointment as CEO of the US governing body and how it needs to change. Plus: Serena's comeback seems realer by the minute. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Live from Melbourne, Rennae and Petko break down the men's and women's draw ahead of the Australian Open—from who's in form to who's in trouble, the Happy Slam promises to have it all. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

e do our damndest not to talk ONLY about Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, who were so clearly ahead of the rest of the pack that it's hard not to give them all the awards. Plus: what do players like Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton and Alex Zverev need to do to be competitive with the elite pack?  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From the podiums to the pork chops, we review the year's highs, lows and whoas. Plus: Coco Gauff is the new face of the Mercedes Benz's WTA title sponsorship, and is Serena actually really coming back despite what she says on social media? We think the answer is... yes See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spain and Italy can't keep their hands off each other, and Rennae ever so slightly relents on the weekly topic of Justine Henin's majestic backhand! As always, we're here to solve all of tennis' problems—from the NCAAs to PTPAs, Tour Finals (just join em, already!) and of course, team competition. As ever, we're thankful for all of you! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We recap the (predictably, but satisfying) ATP Tour Finals, discuss the Gazprom Open, bid farewell to Chris Eubanks and debate the justifiable entry into the International Tennis Hall of Fame of the GOAT (in our house, her name is Mary Carillo) as well as some guy named Roger Federer. Plus: who got snubbed and why? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yes, we recap the WTA Finals on-court results and off-court statements (looking at you on both counts, Elena Rybakina!) and preview what we hope is an exciting ATP Finals. In the spirit of constructive criticism, any billionaire who wants to pay for the year-end tournament to be in front of a rowdy crowd gets a free tennis lesson from Rennae among other prizes! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We love the new Battle of the Sexes! Just kidding, we hate it and its cynical, gross and insultingly crude existence. We talk all things WTA Finals—matchups, blowouts, blowups and more, as well as go in depth about the brilliant critique of the failure of tennis' establishment to offer good digital content. Sorry, but watching players create meme content is an insult to our intelligence. Plus: shoutout to a Mandarin speaking Anna Blinkova. Hen hao! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After an action-packed week, Rennae and Caitlin are back, and the end of the year is staring us down the barrel! We talk Saudi Masters 1000, Mira Andreeva's visa snafu and lessons for everyone to learn. If you're gonna wake up in the morning and play pro tennis, come to WIN. Otherwise, call it a day and head to the Maldives.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well how about those cousins—what the triumphant showing in Shanghai between Valentin Vacherot and Arthur Rinderknech (and let's not forget their lady cousin Chloe Pacquet) means for Novak Djokovic's final act as well as Meddy and the lost generation. Plus: A stubborn Coco prevails in Wuhan, JPeg's exhausting run to the finals and a Nick Kyrgios in his feelings about getting a podcast snub from Andy Murray.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
