    Getting to know Willis at Wimbledon, the Doubles Draw & the prep
    Jul 1 2026
    Every podcast has that episode. This is ours.

    This week it's all about the man on the other side of the mic. Marcus Willis — Wimbledon legend, doubles specialist, and largely successful avoider of serious questions — finally sits down for the interview he's been dodging since episode one. Think Frost/Nixon. Think hard questions, long pauses, and answers you genuinely weren't expecting.

    Oh and there's a full preview of the first round doubles at the worlds greatest Grand Slam.

  • Serena's Back, Evo's Done & Every Brit in the Draw — Our Full Wimbledon 2026 Preview

    Serena's Back, Evo's Done & Every Brit in the Draw — Our Full Wimbledon 2026 Preview
    Jun 29 2026
    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

    Roland Garros review and custard with smoked salmon
    Jun 4 2026
    ATP 67 Marcus Willis and his mate Dave delve into Roland Garros, Serena William, pressure on Zverev and stress test Custard. Yep!

    This podcast looks back at Marcus 3rd round exit in his maiden French Open and the boys talk about the experience as well as the learnings. Can you believe that 5 years ago Marcus could've ended up in a boring office job rather than playing Grandslams?

    The lads also look at what Serena Williams is doing coming back to the court aged 44. Marcus looks at his own retirement and answers the question of whether he'll still be doing it in his mid 40's. Plus with Sinner out of Roland Garros is there MORE pressure on Zverev than ever before?

    In the final part of the pod, Willis and Dave stress test custard by choosing different foods to dip into the worlds finest liquid. Only on 'what you talking about willis' can you get insider tennis talk alongside custard with smoked salmon

  • Walkovers & Waiting: Inside the French Open Doubles chaos

    Walkovers & Waiting: Inside the French Open Doubles chaos
    May 27 2026
    New opponents, a new apartment, and four days late. Welcome to the REAL world of Grand Slam tennis.

    Marcus Willis (ATP 74) is about to make his French Open debut at the age of 35, but the road to Roland Garros has been anything but smooth. Originally preparing for Etcheverry and Ugo Carabelli, the draw has thrown complete chaos his way. With singles players pulling out of the doubles draw at an unprecedented rate, Marcus pulls back the curtain on a side of professional tennis fans rarely see.

    From constantly refreshing the French Open app just to find out when he plays, to the massive identity crisis currently facing Grand Slam doubles tennis, Marcus speaks candidly about the lack of communication, the graft, and the resilience required to survive outside of the sport's "top table."
    Here’s a peak behind the curtain of professional tennis life.
