The Tennis Podcast joins The Athletic Podcast Network, broadening tennis coverage

As the run-up to the French Open begins in earnest, storylines for the second Grand Slam of the year are taking shape. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner look a level above the rest of the field on the men’s side, while defending champion Iga Świątek will have to get past one of the top four players in the world as soon as the quarterfinals if she wants to become the first player to win four women’s singles titles in a row in the Open Era.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is seeking a first Grand Slam title away from hard courts; Novak Djokovic remains in pursuit of his 25th major and a crop of young stars on both the ATP and WTA Tours are looking to make their first big run at one of the four biggest tournaments in the sport.
