Meet our panellists:

1. Denmark's Davis Cup Captain and 2012 Wimbledon Doubles Champion, Freddie Nielsen - currently coaching August Holmgren, who is in the final round of qualifying as we record.
2. GB Coach Calvin Betton who is currently working with Henry Patten & Harri Heliövaara.
3. Top S&C Coach Kieron Vorster who has worked with Liam Broady, Dan Evans, Tim Henman and Wayne Ferreira.
4. Sports broadcaster and former CNN anchor Candy Reid, Tennessee Vols alumna and one of the great voices of tennis.

The ATP is proposing to reshape men's doubles from 2028. Halved draws. Halved prize money. Doubles specialists effectively pushed out of the sport. In this episode, Dan takes on the proposals in a full debate segment, then reviews the fortnight at Wimbledon 2026 that has just wrapped up. Recorded after the Wimbledon Live series ended.

THE MAIN DEBATE: Should the ATP be allowed to kill men's doubles?

• The 2028 proposal in detail: doubles draws halved at Masters 1000s, prize money split shifted from 80-20 to 90-10 in favour of singles, Challenger Tour entry handed to singles players ahead of doubles specialists.

Our panelist discuss these proposals in depth.

In the Wimbledon 2026 Review:

• Sinner defends his title, 5th career Grand Slam, only 10th man in the Open Era to defend Wimbledon
• Linda Nosková becomes the youngest women's champion since Kvitova in 2011, in the first all-Czech final in the Open Era
• Arthur Fery's historic wildcard SF run, the deepest British men's Wimbledon run since Cameron Norrie in 2022

Dan and Calvin talk on the fight for the future of doubles

There's a fight going on off the court this week that could reshape the sport for a generation. The ATP's proposed changes would cut doubles draws, shift the prize money split further in favour of singles, and effectively push doubles specialists out of the game.

• Calvin Betton on coaching Patten and Heliövaara to the 2024 Wimbledon title, and being the "face of reason" in the box when everyone else was overwhelmed
• Calvin's unfiltered defence of doubles: why the ATP is a governing body not a business, why "not financially viable" doesn't hold up, and why the 2024 Wimbledon final was proof
• The Wimbledon Quickfire with Calvin: the Agassi 1991 all-white moment, his Wimbledon guilty pleasure, and his one thing he'd change about The Championships
• Dear Dan: an insider tip for a first-time Wimbledon visitor, and what Dan actually loves about being a coach on the pro tour
