Join Steve Flink and Vansh as they break down the Wimbledon men's tournament, the epic final between Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, the performances and what's in store for the current big names in the ATP Tour Jannik Sinner, Holger Rune, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey...

Women's tennis has seemingly moved on from its 2000's and 2010's stars a lot faster than the ATP tour. For a while it was quite difficult to predict who would come out on top, and while there seemed to be a lack of consistency, this hasn't been the case since Simona Halep and Ash Barty ascended to the top, one after the other. Now, with incredible players in their early to mid-twenties playing some of the greatest tennis the world has ever seen, the fun is starting fresh: who will become the...

In this episode of Tennis and Bagels, Andre and Vansh look at the performances of Carlos Alcaraz and Petra Kvitova in particular, as they shape up their games to the Grass Court Slam. Kvitova, a former World No.2 and two-time Wimbledon champion, showed once again signs of why she's had the career she's had so far, but since winning at SW19 in 2014 she has not done so well in London. Could this be the year?
Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz has finally completed the surface set, winning his first...

As per usual, Steve Flink joins Vansh Vermani in a deep, highly knowledgeable and analytical talk about yet another Grand Slam tournament! They cover mostly the Men's tournament - as will be the new standard with Flink, as he moves on to focus more on the ATP side and simply enjoy Women's tennis.
Novak Djokovic finally got ahead in the Slam race and stands alone for the first time with 23 major titles, a third French Open, and the triple career Grand Slam, a feat only surpassed by Steffi...

After a far less-than-ideal tournament in Rome with many rain delays and a clear demonstration that the men's event is still the most important thing, we still got to enjoy some seriously good tennis.
While neither one of Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic were not present in the final after a remarkable 18 years, the new guard has stepped up to bring the level we all expect from one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments in the world. Holger Rune was responsible for stopping Djokovic from...

For the first time since 2004, Rafael Nadal will not be in Paris for Roland Garros. The 14-time champion has a 98% winning percentage at the French Open, losing only 3 matches and pushed to five sets only 3 times - all of which he won. But in 2023, Nadal was forced to withdraw due to a persisting injury picked up at the Australian Open in January.
Now what? With him in the draw, it's easy to pick him as a favourite - almost a duty. But now, with Novak Djokovic not at his best, Stefanos...

Vansh sat down with upcoming young Italian Tennis Journalist Mario Boccardi, who writes for two publications in Italy and has grown a large following on Tennis Twitter. They recap all things Madrid Open with discussion on Carlos Alcaraz, Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and other feel-good stories. Also a preview to Rome, the Italian Open, and a discussion about Novak Djokovic and the other top contenders for RG (never rule Rafael Nadal out). They also analyze some of the valid complaints of...

Vansh gets Jack Edward on Tennis and Bagels Podcast to chat about the tournaments in Barcelona, Stuttgart, Munich, Banja Luka, and we get a lot of depth in the analysis of the current WTA and ATP tours landscape heading into the second Grand Slam of the year.
While Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek blew their minds away, Vansh and Jack chat about potential threats to their quest to Roland Garros glory: is Aryna Sabalenka ready to push it to the next level on clay? Is Ons Jabeur going to get...

It's a wrap on Indian Wells! The tournament with unique conditions, hard courts slow as clay, and a reputation as the fifth grand slam, gave tennis fans around the world plenty of entertainment, and nerds like us plenty to think and talk about.
Elena Rybakina powered her way through to win her first-ever WTA 1000 title, and did so with a bang: by completely blowing 2022 champion and World No.1 Iga Swiatek off the court in the semifinals, and taking her sweet revenge over World No.2 and...

Daniil Medvedev seems to have found a lot of confidence in his game: with great wins under his belt now, including Novak Djokovic, Felis Auger-Aliassime, and Andrey Rublev, he is truly back to the Top 10 and will remain there. But can he win more Grand Slams? Can he become World No.1 again? We still need to watch more for that...

Another week, another title for Ig... Barbora Krejcikova?? The former World No.2 is coming back from an elbow injury, but seems to have found all the great shots and on-court intelligence that led her to a Roland Garros title back in 2021 - and the key to defeating Iga Swiatek in finals. On top of that, she achieved a major feat in defeating the nos 1, 2, and 3 in the world en route to the title, coming back from a bagel in the first set against Aryna Sabalenka, and a tough battle against...

How great it is to see Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz back in action! Swiatek showed us all once more how dominant she can be - 2022 was not a fluke. While we understand that she got a somewhat favourable draw, it only shows that one must be at their absolute best to challenge here, something unfortunately Jessica Pegula, a favourite here in the podcast, was not able to achieve on Sunday in Doha.
Carlos Alcaraz brought back all the swag we missed, along with his great shot-making and tennis...

Or will one of the young guns break through against the two juggernauts of tennis?

128 fabulous female players. One trophy. Who will win? Without a defending champion since Ash Barty retired after winning the Australian Open last year, things look very interesting in 2023. Can Iga Swiatek continue her jaw dropping dominance by lifting her 4th Grand Slam trophy and 3rd of the last 4, or maybe Ons Jabeur will finally break the curse and win her first major title in Australia?
