Our Editor's Take

The Tennis Podcast is a great podcast for fans of the sport. Tennis commentator David Law is the host. One of his first-ever interviews was with a teenage Roger Federer in 1998. David has worked in the sport for over 20 years, so his knowledge is extensive. In this series, he promises predictions, opinions, and all the chat about the game. Plus, every episode features an interview with someone inside the sport.

Cohost and sports broadcaster Catherine Whitaker also joins David on The Tennis Podcast. Catherine started as part of the Eurosport Team. She has reported on tennis for Amazon Prime Video since 2018. The third and final member of their tennis trio is podcaster Matt Roberts. He joined the show as an intern and now travels as a reporter for major events.

Ahead of every tournament, David and his team share their expectations for the event. Every day of contests, such as the US Open and Wimbledon, features a dedicated episode. This way, listeners can relive each game and get to know each tennis player set for stardom. The Tennis Podcast explores possible rivalries and players making their way up the ranks. When renowned player Serena Williams left the game, the podcast took time to review her impressive career. They shared her announcement in Vogue magazine and the emotions it created.

The Tennis Podcast has been running since 2012, so there is a vast archive of material available. Fans can listen to notable interviews during some of the most significant moments. Legendary player Billie Jean King joins the podcast during the BJK Cup Finals. She shares her insights on the tournament and her plans for the future years. She also discusses how she thinks tennis has become more difficult since she played in the '60s and '70s. Listeners will also hear from the likes of more recent legends, such as Roger Federer. Most episodes range from between 45 minutes and an hour long.
