The Rennae Stubbs Tennis Podcast

Rennae and Caitlin join Grounds Pass podcast's Anastasia Folorunso for a live show from McCarren Parkhouse to discuss week one of the French Open. Come for the discussion of Americans on the way up, Roland Garros tournament director in the hot seat over scheduling of women's matches, and a forthright assessment of TNT/HBO's first year of coverage, stay for the live breakdown of the Alcaraz-Shelton match's most scintillating moments by Rennae.  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Upsets, triumphs, sartorial hits and misses—and a bonus little coaches corner. What ELSE can you possibly ask for from this, our first show grappling with Roland Garros (as Charles Barkley refuses to call it). Buckle up, helmets on, let's get into it.

No, Casper Ruud did NOT almost have Jannik Sinner—but he might still be a favorite for Roland Garros, along with four women and Carlos Alcaraz. We recap the Italian Open—from the exquisite (Paolini's movement, Alcaraz's toolkit on natural surfaces) to the atrocious (Errani's serve, Zverev's rants).

The matches in Rome are scintillating, and our faves are sliding here there and everywhere. We review Sinner's return, watch as young American Peyton Stearns picks up another win over a grand slam champ, and go deep on why tactics and strategy matter so much on natural surfaces.

No, it's not the name of the Kentucky Derby winning horse—it's the problematic background colour of the Madrid stadium! We celebrate the Oatmeal Stallion, Casper Ruud, and his victory on the Spanish clay, toast Coco's excellent comeback week despite falling a bit short in the final against Aryna Sabalenka and revel in the best camera angle in tennis history?  See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.
