It's time for a very special episode from Tennis Weekly HQ as we celebrate the career on Rafael Nadal as we take a deep dive into the Spaniard's extraordinary career, counting down his top 10 most iconic moments.

From his unparalleled dominance at Roland Garros to his epic Grand Slam battles with Federer and Djokovic, and even having a tennis court named after himself whilst still playing in Barcelona (!), we relive the matches and milestones that have defined the King of Clay’s legacy.

Join us as we celebrate the resilience, passion, and brilliance of one of tennis’s all-time greats. Whether you’re Team Rafa or simply a fan of the sport, let us know what your favourite Rafa memories are - what would make YOUR Nadal countdown list?

It's crunch time on the tour and the Tennis Weekly trio are back to revel in it all. We break down Jannik Sinner’s incredible rise (and dominance), culminating in his first ATP Finals crown, and Taylor Fritz serviing into a career-high No. 4 after an impressive run in Turin. Plus, the tennis world is buzzing as Rafa Nadal gears up for Spain’s Davis Cup opener in Malaga — will he get the chance to play? Who will be in attendance? Could we see a certain Roger Federer looking on? All to be revealed!

Meanwhile, Team GB are on fire in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter have taken down Germany and defending champs Canada to reach the semis. How far can they go? The crew gives you their verdict as they enter the Final Four. And in other news, we discuss scoring systems in this week's Mailbag as Billie Jean King proposes scrapping the traditional set up to appeal to a younger audience — we're not so sure!

Tour finals galore! We're all back once again at Tennis Weekly HQ to look back on the past week of action, which saw Coco Gauff clinch the WTA Finals in Saudi Arabia in thrilling fashion (along with a tasty pay packet).

Meanwhile, the ATP Finals got underway in Turin where Carlos Alcaraz suffered an opening defeat to Casper Ruud whilst the trio discuss Stefanos Tsitsipas’s recent social media comments on the new two week Masters 1000 format and argue over whether it should have a future on the circuit.

Qualifiers Benjamin Bonzi and Denis Shapovalov also brought home the Metz and Belgrade titles respectively, and Britain’s Cam Norrie reached another ATP Final in a more positive end to a difficult season. Iga Swiatek is also in Malaga as the Billie Jean King Cup Finals begin, looking to end the season on a high after a tricky few months on tour.

Joel also tests Kim, Chris and the listeners on recent WTA Finals tour winners!
