The ATP Tennis Radio Podcast

Ahead of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, we bring you an exclusive interview with one of the form players of 2020. A first title on home soil in Montpellier was followed by another in Rotterdam and a semi-final loss only to the world number 1 Novak Djokovic in Dubai – it’s been some time since Gael Monfils has looked quite so good and in Dubai he spoke with prolific tennis writer Reem Abulleil about life on tour, his relationship with Elina Svitolina and his hopes for the future.

Also on the programme, defending Indian Wells champion Dominic Thiem and his coach Nicolas Massu join us for a chat, we hear from Stefanos Tsitspias’ mum after she gate-crashed one of his press conferences in Dubai and we hear from doubles champions of Dubai, Michael Venus and John Peers.

This week we lift the lid on two of the game’s most enigmatic characters, Italian Fabio Fognini and Brit Dan Evans, we hear from Boy band member-turned-tennis star Andrey Rublev, who has his sights set firmly on the world top 10, there’s all 6 foot 10 of John Isner and the other half of Serbia’s all conquering ATP Cup singles line-up – can you remember who that is? – but we start in Dubai in the camp of world number 6 Stefanos Tsistipas the Nitto ATP Finals champion who only recently defended his Marseille crown of 2019 and reached the final in Dubai. Marcus Buckland has been speaking with Apostolos Tsitipas about his dual role as coach and dad.

The globe-trotting continues as we hone in on events in Rio, Delray Beach and Marseille. In Brazil we hear from one of the legends of the game, Gustavo Kuerten. Bruno Soares talks doubles, Casper Ruud speaks about his first tour title and Borna Coric tells us about his hopes for the future.

In Marseille, top seed Daniil Medvedev speaks about the dealing with the pressure of being a top seed in events now and we also hear from Kazakh, Alexander Bublik. Staying in France we also speak to Jeremy Chardy about the challenges of being Tournament Director in his home event in Pau.
