Was Sinner a couple of degrees away from being out of the Australian Open? Was Djokovic a couple of centimetres away from being defaulted and why was he simmering with frustration throughout his match? Is 2026 proving to be a true new start for Medvedev after an extremely poor 2025 as he wins from 2 sets to love down? Is there any cause for concern for Swiatek, Sabalenka, Gauff and other top seeds as they survive wobbles to all come through?

Join Nick and Kyle on episode 93 of the Chip n Charge Tennis Podcast as they answer all of the above questions and much more on our round 3 Australian Open 2026 review!

Should the BBC be airing the 'battle of the sexes' between Nick Kyrgios and Aryna Sabalenka and what are the potential consequences it could have on women's tennis and sport? Is Serena Williams coming back after rumours emerged that she has re-entered the ITIA's anti-doping testing pool? The great 5 set vs 3 set debate and should there be equality in the format for both men's and women's events? Why is it that the same player's tend to be the ones constantly injured? What is the current state and future of British tennis?

Join Nick and Kyle as they convene at the Chip n Charge Tennis Podcast Studios to answer all these questions and more on this week's listener question special!

On today's Ep, Nick is joined by Calvin Betton at the CnCTP studios. Calvin is a professional coach currently working with ATP Doubles no.3 in the world Henry Patten and world no.38 Luke Johnson, where collectively they have won 11 titles including 2 grand slams under Calvin's guidance.

Calvin discusses the incredible end of the season Henry and Harri had in 2025 wining Paris and the ATP Finals back-to-back, before getting into his journey in tennis from playing as a junior and competitively in his late teens, to coaching at grassroots in the UK to becoming one of the top coaches in the world and winning Grand Slams. He chats about his coaching styles both on the practice court and preparing for matches using data analysis and match reports. He talks through the remarkable build-up to winning Wimbledon and the run itself as well as how it differed to winning in Melbourne earlier this year. We also get into the current state of doubles and how the tours need to improve in the marketing and promotion of the sport and how they are even going out of their way to prevent this change from happening.

Join Nick and Kyle on this week's EP of the CnCTP as they convene just a mere couple of hours after the ATP Finals final won by Jannik Sinner, to discuss:

• The ever-growing rivalry between Sinner and Alcaraz and did this match live up to the extremely high bar they have set?
• How important was this win for Jannik Sinner as he extends his 31 match winning streak on indoor hard to defend his title from 12 months ago in Turin without dropping a set.
• How much did Alcaraz's upper leg injury play a part in the result as he possibly made some slight tactical adjustments to shorten points.
• A look back on the event as a whole as, the 5th straight year it has been held in Turin and record attendances where hit this year at 230,000!
• Taylor Fritz's fascinating comments on how he adjusts his second serve speed based off where his opponent is positioned.
• A Davis Cup preview as Lorenzo Musetti pulls out- our preview and predictions!
• Plus a new segment- 'Who said that?'
• Enjoy and please make sure to download this ep to support the pod! Thanks
