- Andy Roddick starts off the show talking with Kim Clijsters about everything Roland Garros Finals; Iga Swiatek's dominance, Carlos Alcaraz grinding through a tough 5-setter over Alexander Zverev, and what it takes to adapt your game to win majors in this new generation. Andy is then joined by Jon Wertheim, who spent the entire two weeks on the ground at the French Open, and talked to him about the entirety of the two weeks: the lack of technology for important calls, the rollercoaster atmosphere during the men's final, Chrissie Evert and Martina Navratilova's beautiful moment, and much more.

Kim really elevates this podcast. Love the conservational format. Their chemistry is so natural.
Love the Iga content! She’s not talked about nearly enough!
Andy and Kim talking about shared experiences that only players of their stature can understand is one of the things that make this pod so special. Love seeing Andy go on rants. It just exemplifies his passion for the sport. Continued great job to the entire team!
It's just different level from other podcasts.
I love the way they both break down Iga's game. It's cool to hear all that nuance and analysis from two phenomenal former players.
Thank you Andy for such a respect to Iga Swiatek.
I wish other commentators are showing a little more class.
The best tennis podcast there is! Keep up the fantastic work Andy!
Agreed! Go Andy!
@@davidhunternyc1 Have you listened to Rennae Stubbs podcast? It's great as well.
@@Adam-ij1fg I had no idea Rennae Stubbs had her own podcast. I love Rennae Stubbs. When Rennae speaks at the U.S. Open I stop whatever I'm doing and listen. She's incredibly intelligent and very strong with her opinions. She calls as she sees it and makes no excuse for any player. She's a pro at her job. Many years ago, when she was first hired as a commentator, I wrote her a letter of encouragement. She wasn't a big name in the media community but she was the best. I will listen to her podcast. Thank you.
I believed that Carlos was destined to win this and he did. I also note the irony that he who defeated Rafa in the first round has been defeated by the one in the last round who is his worthy successor in Spanish tennis history. Congratulations Carlos!
The way Iga changed her mindset after that near-loss to Osaka, is the most impressive. Her mental strength is nothing we have seen before. It's a game changer. Every player should be aware of how she does it.
Nothing we have seen before? So better than Graf, Navratilova or Serena, right? I understand UA-cam and recency bias but, come on.
Athletes today get better physically and mentally, but it's not because they have more natural talent. All the athletes mentioned are incredible. Do you think Navratilova had a psychologist on her team? And even if, training methods were very different back then. Now, people have bigger teams and better training methods, which help their mental preparation a lot, but it's hard to compare different eras.
@@mikiafu it’s not hard to compare eras in this regard. Anyway, to state that this girl has mental strength “we have never seen before” when there are giants with 20+ slams, even Year Golden Slam, in relatively recent history of the game, is borderline moronic. Plus, all due respect to Iga and an acknowledgment that you can only beat who’s in front of you, but Graf, for instance, faced the likes of Navratilova, Sabatini or Seles. Navratilova and Seles definitely all time greats of the sport.
@@jooohan It is hard to compare, tennis is on much higher level in general at the moment, but still, you are right that claim was an exaggeration. All of those champions are mentally very strong.
Seles would beat her. But seles got stabbed with a knife by jealous/toxic german fan.
I figured she would say Henin was her Swiatek. Those 1000s and major finals vs. Henin were really tough, but Henin was phenomenal.
Big time - Kim had the winning record but Justine won almost all of their biggest matches
Andy and Kim talking about Iga: inject it in my veins
Dream would be Andy and Kim commentating a live grand slam match together.
You do a great job Andy! Rolland Garros finals turned exactly how I wanted it to - Iga and Carlitos got their well deserved trophy’s, they’re the most talented players of their generation.
Andy and Kim are a great duo. More please.
I really hope Roger comes on the pod one day
What a joy to listen to and learn from people, who have been there, done that, and actually know, what they're talking about.
Love the Dynamic Duo of Andy and Kim! Hope to see them cover many more events, majors and otherwise.
Hey Andy, Just wanted to say your channel has made a huge impact on other tennis channels in just under a year. Keep it up, great work!
Havent finished, but god Kim is the best. What a tremendous dialogue you have with her. Thanks a million.
Love the podcast! Can you invite Iga as a guest? Love you Andy! Big fan. ❤❤❤
Kims photo with daughter Jada at the USopen can picture it now Also thank you for Iga comments her mental coach is critical to Igas success
I don’t know who will be the best in history but Alcaraz is definitely the most entertaining to watch
He’s got the ability it’s all about longevity. Big reason djoker is the goat is because of how he treated his body.
Everyone says Carlos is more entertaining and I can see why but personally I love watching Jannik. Something so clean and powerful about it.
Carlos is entertaining which is true but he has mad skills. He's already in the history books.
Thats true. Carlos has made me want to watch tennis again. His style is so mesmerising.
More than Rafa or Roger or Novak…..? Maybe…..anyway…..it was pretty darn entertaining.
🤔🇨🇺🇺🇸
Great analysis and conversation. Thanks Andy and Kim❤️
iga is the best ❤ and has a good personality. simple & humble
Yes, been waiting for this one. Such good insight and a cool overall review of another great FO. I would remind you, Swiatek did win juniors at Wimbledon in 2018. That tournament had the likes of Raducanu, Zheng, Fernandez, Xinyu, McNally.
Martina & Chrissie just gave me watery eyes and goosebumps. And I have to be honest: I just wish players would acknowledge more the greatness of the champions delivering trophies in their acceptance speeches.
It's the players' moment. Theirs and nobody else's.
@@Malgosia44 it is the players’ moment, indeed. And yet, in the highly scripted and mostly boring speeches nowadays, they make sure to mention the tournament’s staff, their opponent’s team and family, the ballkids, and even the sponsors, so I just think it would be a touch of class to include a mention to the other greats who came before. It does not take anything away from their moment.
@@pudimdecana51 It seems you would like the speeches to be even more scripted. :) The greats are acknowledged by the MC when they come on the podium. One other aspect: the former stars often work as commentators, and their comments may not always be fair or kind to the players. Martina and Chris have made their share of blunders in this respect. I wouldn't expect a player to necessarily mention them as part of their triumph. But of course, if they wish, they are free to do so.
Kim is such a wonderful Champ. Thanks very much, Andy. Great show...!!!
Andy's reaction to the accidental Olipop plug by Kim killed me 😂
Love listening to both Andy and Kim,Two great Champions.
Osaka looked solid vs. Mertens today. She seems very happy and in a really good mental state in her life now, which should really aid in her returning to top 10-level tennis.
Kim and Andy are super cool. Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I would absolutely listen to Andy commentating a full match live. Wimbledon perhaps?
Liking before I listen. Love these Andy! Would love to see them for future majors, your insight is fantastic.
Another great show:) Thanks Andy & Kim and John! Andy you’re so humble. Loved watching you play, thank you thank you:)
I look forward to these every Monday!
Jon’s summary of the final is soooooooooooo spot on 😅🔥
I feel so crazy lucky to hear you and Kim talk…The tennis fan geek in me can’t comprehend the knowledge you two freely give…Thank you all again.
Love Andy's podcast and his jokes, his mumbling, his language! And bringing on the legends like Kim! Would love to him getting Roger and John McEnroe someday, that would be fire!😁
Great insights from Kim and you Andy. Keep up the good work.
you two are great together. I love that you both have had the experience of being on tour
Amazing content. This should have at least 10x more views
Absolutely top notch level of analysis of tennis! Andy is an amazing analyst. Almost as good as he was a player :). And Kim makes a great guest on the show. Lovin it all!
I love the nuance and complexity you explain, both tecnical and tactical. We appreciate ut!!!! ❤
Hi Andy, just discovered your show and loved the segment with Kim. So cool to hear such detailed and in-depth takes from people who played at the highest levels, your perspectives are so valuable and insightful and the chemistry is on-point. Subbed and looking forward to more 😊
Best pod by far. Thanks.
Congrats Carlos!
Great partnership - more please!
Большое спасибо за выпуск!
Looking Good Andy > Thanks for the analysis.
fantastic! Listening to Andy and Kim talk about their own personal experiences in their tennis career is so fascinating and so unique to people who are “fans“ a great back-and-forth between them. I really enjoyed this episode.
This channel is A-mazing for tennis. Merci
Great recap! Keep up the awesome work! This podcast helps me understand the game of tennis and all that comes with it. Thanks!!!
Thank you, Andy, for explaining to the masses the location of the ball toss. If anyone knows, it’s you.
I could totally relate. Toss forward may work for a first serve but it's a recipe for disaster on second.
We love you Andy! Amazing 🤩
Absolutely fantastic podcast Andy!
I love the dynamic between Andy and Kim…..
I love this podcast, credit to Andy and team. They knocked it out of the park every podcast.. Hearing ex pros speaking in their element.. So engaging.. Entertaining and giving us fans so much valuable information. Thanks for doing this.. Coming from a tennis nut.
Ya I agree Andy! The old Chuckster is not too shabby!
As an 1GA fan -- just to make things interesting for Coco Gauff - her weakness is her volleys, and bringing her into the net by drop shots and slower, low slices.... The other key for Coco not being able to overpower 1GA is to come into the net and put away volleys when she is outside the doubles alleys!!! Good LUCK to Coco!!! She's a great ROLE model and will be TOUGH to beat at home and maybe even at Wimby with some more crowd support from the English speakers.... She had a good win in the Doubles!! That's a good sign she's working on her volleys...
I think on grass and hard court if Gauff's serve becomes more consistent she will cause Iga a lot of problems and hopefully some wins. When Coco's serve is on its superior to Iga's and the serve makes such a difference in women's tennis a la Serena Williams. Coco has some technical things that she obviously needs ro fix and getting to world number 2 with those technical flaws is a testament to her talent and grit.
What a fantastic conversation! Great insights from Kim. Love how both built the analysis
This is such a great show because it shows insider information and just balls-out frustration, just like the rest of us.
Iga first: Other than her 2nd round win, next favourite moment was in the final. Paolini broke serve and Iga responded with 10games on the bounce. That is such champion mentality. With the Olympics on clay this year, it is a gilded opportunity for her to do something truly special. Beautiful touch with Chrissie and Martina. Friends beyond rivalry is where both of them win.
I thought Sascha had a great tournament - a GS final is no small feat but Alcaraz is a different animal. I'm sure everyone wondered about the game after the Big 3 but worried unnecessarily. Both Men's and Ladies tennis is in a great place right now. Can't wait to see how everyone transitions onto grass...
Kimmmm!!! Anytime I see her in the thumbnail I click!!!
I'm happy for the talented/legendary tennis players who just want to retire & live an actual life the public isn't involved in. They've earned it.
But for me personally, I LOVE seeing the greats after they've retired & getting to know their personalities & hear more about what the game is like for actual elite players. These podcast sessions are FANTASTIC! Match analysis, stories from the past, insights about the future...& a love & excitement for tennis shining thru everything.
I don't exactly understand what John means when he says that the Roland Garros was "weird" but it sure featured some great quality tennis and good performances.
Hey Andy, thanks for the lovely episode and getting such awesome guest as Kim on! One thing I would say is I would really appreciate it if you could add timestamps to the video to indicate jumps in topics? Thanks!!
Great podcast! Love Kim. She's great and honest. You're doing a great job Andy.
Brilliant analysis as usual! Best tennis podcast out there. Keep it up Andy!
I love this😉🔥🔥🔥
The best tennis podcast out there. Andy rocks!
Thats true. Carlos has made me want to watch tennis again. His style is so mesmerising.
I am totally fangirling over this duo - both of them I loved as players, and seeing them being awesome podcasters and personalities... it is just great. 😇
Andy always keeping it real
JCF should be in the HOF- #1 in the world, world class coach and slam champ. He got passed over for Leander Paes this year.
Andy is so honest and humble and a real expert ❤
I posted this on IG too but I went to a fundraiser clinic with Kim last fall - she made sure to play with EVERYONE, complimented my slice (what?!!) and was the last person to leave. She made sure to hit 1:1 with anyone who wanted to. The kindest woman - Kim is the real deal!
Great Iga game analysis. 2 feet inside the court to take balls early! 31:49 great pointers on the serve toss from the maestro, Andy!
Andy, I thank you for including the WTA players (not just IS) in your commentary. I don't see to much. WTA commentary other than IS and inpassing at that. So thanks so much for the coverage.
Now I've often heard how much fun doubles are when at an event. Also that club players often play doubles. Given that it seems that dubs are an after thought for broadcasting what needs to done to elevate dubs (both men's and women's) for viewing audiences? Thanks again for the great show
Andy love it when you bring Kim on the show she adds alot to the podcast, a lot of give and take between the 2 of you, good energy. Now get gotta some of the past greats of the game to share there stories and insites of the game 😊
Justine has 7 slams - and yes, 4 RGs tying with Iga
Totally agree with Andy on that df call. Nobody, i mean, nobody is saying that Zverev would have won the match, but we will never know. As Andy said, it's a final of a GS and a vital point that could have changed the match. I'm glad Andy pointed that out when everyone says Zverev would have lost anyway - well, we don't know that, he waa able to comeback from 2:5 down in a 3rd. Again, yes, he might have lost the match anyway, but maybe that break back would have given him confidence and a bit of freedom he needed- we will never know
The Hawkeye margin of error is 2.5mm and this call was easily within that range, so it's not necessarily true that the umpire made the wrong call. Looking at a mark (if it's the correct one) is going to be more accurate than Hawkeye because a human eye can easily discern 2.5 mm.
"According to a study conducted on perceptual uncertainty and line-call challenges in professional tennis, when compared to human line judges, the Hawkeye Technology is shown to be accurate within 3 millimeters whereas human line judges are generally within 30-40 millimeters. The proven accuracy shown in tennis helped to grow the technology’s usage across other sports." okay... also the line judge called it out, as well as hawkeye, umpire overruled.
I am hooked! What an incredible analysis from tennis experts. Kim is awesome and Jon is one of the best tennis journalists out there. I learn so much from your SERVED podcasts and I NEVER played tennis competitively . I am just a big tennis fan since Borg/McEnroe era.
Love andy + Jon = interesting, focused, insightful
Great review, thanks Andy and Kim you guys are such legends. 🙂❤ Credits to Iga for winning this year's RG though that second match, Osaka could've grabbed that match. Osaka is regaining her game and confidence back. For Coco, it could be this nostalgia of that RG 2022 finals match that she needed to shake off. Coco can definitely win RG. Again, congrats to Iga, she deserves winning after all her hard work. 💪🏻🎾
I wanted to be the first comment but I’ll settle for 8th. I love when you and Kim Clijsters talk tennis! What major is next Wimbledon right!?
Loved Andy and Kim talking about Zverev. Getting in that mindset of the runner up. The torture of having to stand there, holding the stupid plate, smile, make a speech-all while quietly dying inside. Great insight. Hey Amelie-how bout at next year’s RG you insist on electronic line calling for the tournament!!!
A folding chair courtside for Tsitsipas' dad 😂😅
Another great show. Love Kim and. yes, Jon too. Refs absolutely need to be consistent. The coaching rule is not hard to understand, and that’s not why Tsitsi Pop gets fined. He’s not confused. He’s an overbearing person who is accustomed to doing what he wants.
Kim is a natural on this podcast. I will always listen when she is on. Lindsay Davenport is another excellent guest.
I’ve said this so many time but, I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!! I will be sad if you ever stop.
The rant about the umpire cam was the best - such a stupid idea! I wonder what they were thinking but i really don't want to know.
Greate show again guys, love Kim Clijsters, she’s very articulate on the way she describes the game and the athletes. Keep the good work Andy 👏👏👏🏆
Can you analyze your Wimbledon 2009 final game plan and how the march went? Always been curious what worked so well in that final? Great stuff!
Deffo helped he was serving a bomb that day and kept roger out of a lot of rallies.
When Roger got his teeth into a rally he was always I. The advantage against Andy.
In terms of that specific call it was within the margin of error of hawkeye to my understanding so it may very well have been in.
Also would be great if Kim could be an ongoing regular. Considering WTA makes up half the tour good to break up the sausage fest.
Or it may have been out by more. I haven't seen any source that it was out by the margin of error - what we do know is that hawkeye has it out, the line judge called it out, and yet the umpire overrules. If by any small chance itmiraculously catches by 0.005mm, is that enough for an umpire to overrule the line judge? He has no place to interject on that call - unless he is sure an error has been made. My take is the call was so bad, that replays & hawkeye replays were not shown. As Andy says, it's not good enough in these times, we shouldn't have slam outcomes decided by these.
Swiatek is going to have 8 French Opens before a Wimby
Idk she looked pretty damn good on grass last year. Still inexperienced on the stuff and has plenty of room to continue improving. I won't be that surprised if she wins wimbledon in the next few years
@@TheColburnReporther western grip is not ideal for grass, she would have to work hard on improving on this surface but the main problem is she doesn’t have time for that, she plays nearly every tournament until the very end and the Olimpics is more of her priority this year.
@@magdalenaborek8350 I agree that it wont be easy for her and I dont think itll happen this year either. But ultimately she is the best tennis player in the world and made adjustments last year that led to her best grass performances and a QF finish. I think shes not as far off from being a serious contender there as people think and she can continue improving in the next few years to get over the hump. Grass will always be her weakest surface, no doubt, but that doesnt mean she can't win one with the right technical and tactical adjustments.
Carlos Alcaraz 🇪🇸
I remember Kim Clysters as Leyton Hewitt’s girlfriend. I recall one final she played . One of the gripping WTA games I ever watched. If I recall It was against Jennifer Caprioti French Open Final in early 2000s. She could easily have won that match but was young and nervous IMO. She has not changed in looks not one bit.
Nice
Hi Andy...Rafa may not be the GOAT but on his best surface (FO)he has not lost in a Grand Slam finals. But Novak has lost on hard court, Roger on grass...Anyway, big 3 are the greatest athletes...just from the individuality, mentality and the physicality of the game. No other sport is as demanding. ❤
HAHAHA "Real Football, Sorry"! So true! Love you Kim 😂✅
The best players won RG from atp and wta side!!!
