  • The ATP Wants to Kill Doubles — Marcus Willis on Doubles, Post Wimbledon burnout and Federers Forehand
    ATP 59 Marcus Willis takes a raw look at life on tour without the private jets and multimillion-pound endorsements. This week: the ATP's proposed shake-up (or f$%k up) of doubles tennis, and what it could mean for the players who'd never get near the top of the game without it.

    Marcus opens up about burnout post Wimbledon and how he's resetting before the US hardcourt swing. Plus, it's time for another round of "Federer's Forehand" — this time it's day to day things.

    Real talk from the real end of professional tennis.

  • Interview special: Coaching, Friendship and the Secret Fight Inside your head
    In this special "This Is Your Life" style episode, ATP 60 Marcus Willis and Dave sit down with tennis coach Ollie Clark for an unfiltered, deeply personal conversation.

    Ollie walks us through his journey into tennis, how his path crossed with Marcus, and what life looks like on and off the court. But behind the outgoing personality, the thriving coaching career and a loving young family Ollie was harbouring a dark struggle with his mental health.

    Ollie opens up about the secret battle he was fighting behind closed doors, proving that you never truly know what someone is carrying—no matter how bright they seem on the outside. Tennis helped Ollie through the tough times and hitting a fuzzy yellow ball is actually worth much more than winning or losing a set.

    This episode discusses sensitive topics related to mental health that some listeners may find disturbing. If you or someone you know is struggling, please don't carry it alone. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, a mental health charity or contact the Samaritans

  • Serena's Back, Evo's Done & Every Brit in the Draw — Our Full Wimbledon 2026 Preview
    Wimbledon is here. And this year it's personal.

    Marcus Willis ATP 65 and his mate Dave break down the most storyline-loaded fortnight in tennis — from the comeback nobody saw coming to the farewell that deserved better. Serena Williams is back at SW19 for the 22nd time, armed with a wildcard and a point to prove — or as she put it, absolutely nothing to prove. "I don't need to win. I've won more than most people have in their whole lives."

    Then there's Dan Evans. Evo played his final singles match as a professional in the sweltering heat of Roehampton qualifying — and lost 7-5, 6-0. No wildcard. No fairytale send-off. Just one of British tennis's great characters going out quietly, with his head high.

    Andy Murray? He swapped rackets for a clipboard. The two-time champion is now part of Jack Draper's coaching squad as British No. 1 takes on sixth seed Taylor Fritz in a mouth-watering first-round clash. Meanwhile Emma Raducanu could face world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka as early as the third round. No pressure. Plus the full Brit rundown — Boulter, Norrie, Fearnley, Fery, Klugman, Swan, the qualifiers who made it through, and every name flying the flag this fortnight. This is your essential Wimbledon briefing

    Clink the Pimms and get in the know....
