    Jannik Sinner or Saint? The Marco Miracle & back on a coaching court for Willis
    Apr 7 2026
    ATP 75 Marcus Willis and his mate Dave tackle the elephant on the tour: Jannik Sinner. Following last year’s doping controversy, is there a shift in public opinion after the Sunshine Double, or are we just seeing one of the best to ever pick up a racket?

    On a more glass-half-full note, Willis finds fresh fire in the story of Marco Trungelliti. At 36 years young, the Argentine has finally cracked the ATP Top 100—proving that the dream doesn't have an expiry date.Closer to home, Marcus gets candid about a rough patch on court. After three consecutive first-round exits, he opens up about the Bucharest Blues, discussing nerves, technical changes and why he needs to hit the training court. Due to no public outcry the Federer Forehand is back, this time with a cinematic twist!

    We also need you to do some work! Who is in your local community heroe making sure the nation keeps picking up a racket? Got someone in your local park or club who is a legend for the grassroots game? Get in touch and let us know who the real tennis heroes are.

    Mar 31 2026
    It’s been a whirlwind week for the boys! We’re back in the booth as Marcus processes a frustrating first-round exit at the Alicante Challenger. Despite the scoreboard, Marcus breaks down why he’s actually feeling "clay-ready" for the first time this season and why the transition from hard courts to the red dirt is as much a mental battle as a physical one.In this episode:

    The Travel Grind: From the disappointment in Spain straight to the ATP 250 in Bucharest. Marcus explains the "never-stop" lifestyle of a doubles pro and on court partnerships. Don't sniff at Escobar.

    Losing Their Rag: Marcus and Dave discuss the funniest and most terrifying moments they’ve seen when players snap on court.

    The Sinner Connection: Marcus reveals the story behind the absolute worst line call he’s ever received and how it weirdly links back to Jannik Sinner.

    The End of the Umpire? With Wimbledon 2026 officially leaning into AI-driven officiating, we ask the big question: Is the "human element" of the chair umpire dead, or is total accuracy worth the loss of tradition?

    The Flux Capacitor: In a podcast first, the boys review the 2026 French Open... before it’s even started. We break down the thrills, the spills, and the "inevitable" big stories from the second Grand Slam of the year.......
