Episode 3329: Isak’s War Of Words, Mixed Sells, Game Set Matchmaker, Sinner’s Coach

“When promises are broken and trust is lost, the relationship can’t continue” – Alexander Isak’s standoff with Newcastle looks like it is about to escalate further with the release of his statement on Instagram.

Sinner has 4 slams, Alcaraz has 5. Alcaraz won the French, Sinner won Wimbledon. Sinner served a drugs ban, Alcaraz goes to Ibiza every chance he gets. Have both got a chance to be the GOAT? Conor Niland, who played at Wimbledon and the US Open, and poet and essayist Julie Morrissy, join us in studio to look ahead to the US Open – but before we talk tennis we get side-tracked with Game, Set, Matchmaker a new tennis adjacent reality match-making series filmed at Flushing Meadows – surely this will bring the game to the much sought after youth market?

We look at the new Mixed Doubles format, which has seen the good looking famous tennis players push the doubles specialists out of the picture; and what’s 45 year-old Venus Williams looking for – a grand farewell or a Grand Slam?
