×1 Joined by Jimmy Arias, the '24 season finale is focused on disappointments, pleasant surprises, and lessons learned from what we saw this past year. The storylines were a-plenty! 58:05
1 It's an All-Star team at the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and CEO Dan Faber joins us to talk about some incredibly exciting plans for 2025 and beyond! 17:26
1 Now that Elena Rybakina has teamed up with Goran, Mats answers the question, will this work, AND what about tennis's new "coaching from the stands" allowance? Is this really a good thing for the… 40:21
1 Wilander's comments about today's level of tennis, compared to the era of the big 3 certainly set social media ablaze with "expert opinions"! What do these people not get?? It's called EVOLUTION. 42:04
1 It is the cup that seems to have runneth over! The Laver Cup has taken tennis by storm. All those players, plus Borg, Mac, Roger, and the Rocket, it's a veritable tennis museum come to life! 39:30
1 It wasn't without controversy, but Jannik Sinner got it done...impressively! Will history reflect positively on this victory, or will there be questions? Mats, we'll let you handle that one. 40:53
1 USTA (immediate past) President Mike McNulty joins us for a look back at memorable US Open moments past, and a forensic look at what an incredible event the US Open has become. A million people will… 39:47
1 Mats and AZ welcome newly minted Olympics Silver Medalist, Austin Krajicek. Within an eyelash of Gold, and a win over NadAlcaraz along the way. "Doesn't get much better!" 33:50
1 Carlitos is all smiles on the grass, but the Djoker getting to the final on one leg is nothing to laugh at! 41:41
1 Has Wimbledon ever been more wide open? Is the #2 seeded, 7-time champion even playing? Tommy Paul is definitely living his best life! 46:44
1 The French Champs are the best, everyone else are the rest. Carlitos was en fuego, and Iga has women's tennis by the throat. A bit ironic that Sinner is #1 after his RG result? Is Osaka back to… 40:29
1 Lots of frustrating injuries in the men's game, and the players can't be happy! The with injuries and players announcing retirement plans, the field of top guys is "thinning faster than Nadal's hair!" 43:48
1 Joined by the great Alex Corretja, we talk Roger, Rafa, Carlitos, and much more as the clay-court season is upon us. And Jonny's got a hot take, too...do you agree? 49:50
1 We're back in the top 10. YES!! "We" being us one-handers, that is. Couldn't be represented by a prettier version, or a better guy! Welcome back to where you belong, Grigor. A single-handed… 50:03
1 Lots of stories from the BNP, Phoenix and beyond. But the truth is, if Berrettini is involved, he's always kinda the Boss 51:41
1 Rafa’s new role with the Saudi Tennis Federation has people talking, as one would imagine. And as such, we have our take, as well. 49:12
1 Are there now more questions than answers in the men's game, after watching Jannik Sinner bludgeon the field, winning his first (of presumably numerous) major championships, down under? 49:06
1 On the 2024 debut, "what does a dream semi look like this year?" Three youngsters and a Joker? Yep, that's probably a likely foursome! 54:53
1 It was a year that belonged to Djokovic, Alcaraz, Gauff, Swiatek, and Sabalenka. But in the end, Jannick Sinner stole the Davis Cup, and the hearts of the tennis world! 37:02
1 On the debut of KickServe ROCKS, REO's Kevin Cronin joins the team as our featured new "band-mate" 34:20
1 Shanghai was some big-boy ballin', and Jessie and Leyla went off too. But somehow we got on the subject of Mac and his band rockin' Denver. And AZ was right there with him. 37:12
1 When you sit down and take a look back at this career of Chrissie Evert, the numbers are astounding. And that's exactly what we did when she went into the USPTA Hall of Fame, on September 27th. 46:31
1 Coco breaks through, and Novak does it again. Is Coco on the verge of a huge run, or is the pressure about to ratchet up exponentially?? 38:46
1 Is it a RIVALRY, or just an intriguing matchup we should enjoy while it lasts? In any case, Novak got the last rip in Cincy! Get your popcorn ready, New York! 43:32
1 It's a grass-court spectacular this week on KSR. Mats and AZ debate what would be the best possible Wimby final the history books could put together? Mats has his opinion, but it's hard to argue… 50:53
1 The Jokers were wild this past weekend. An amazing 24 hours for the two Serbian sensations. One is the now clear cut best ever, the other is the best right now! 44:37
1 Former French Champs galore, as The Jensens celebrate 30 years since their title, and Mats celebrates in rather dubious fashion. 41:52
1 Who are YOUR favorite all-time dirt-ballers? We've got our list, and in fact one of our guys is on it! If you guessed AZ, you're close, but you've obviously never seen him hit a forehand. 47:36
1 Holger Rune is definitely a conversation starter, to say the very least! Mats has some provocative thoughts, but ultimately thinks the sky is the limit for the dynamic Dane. 47:04
1 Mats and AZ do a red carpet exclusive with REO's Kevin Cronin. The story of how this happened is a wild one! If you didn't already love this guy, you will now! 1:04:13
1 The desert swing in paradise did not disappoint. There's no escape from Alcaraz, and Rybakina is here to stay. 57:02
1 With a set of wheels that won't quit, Alex de Minaur is doing the Aussies proud. Can his "grind you into sawdust" style put him in major contention? 40:24
1 Big John Isner just LOVES playing 3rd set TB's in Dallas Open Finals, doesn't he? Coach Philip Farmer lets us know what the monster-serving American hopes to do at age 37. 48:52
1 Djoker dominates in winning Aussie #10, while Aryna gets her elusive 1st major. Lots of mixed messages in this one, as '23 starts out a little crazy! 50:41
1 In the '23 debut, the 9-time champ is BACK, but could the crazy-talented Aussie keep it from being title number 10? 37:53
1 How'd you like to be a fly on the wall for THIS interview? Well step right in and Mats will tell you all about a one-on-one with Nick, and what else happened in Saudi Arabia this month 44:30
1 What a year for Austin Krajicek!! Top 10 for the first time. Well done, AK. Tell us about it, because what a rollercoaster it was! 57:39
1 We look back at some the sport's greatest ever "head to head" rivalries. You might just be surprised at the forensics of these numbers. Wilander is definitely among the very interesting matchups. 52:31
1 Exactly one year ago at this time, tennis narrowly escaped losing one of the brightest lights on earth. Perhaps it truly was fate that Murphy Jensen just so happened to be at the Garden of Gods Club… 51:45
1 In a very candid conversation with Coach Wayne Ferreira, we get the goods on why "Big Foe" is suddenly going gangbusters at the highest level. 53:20
1 It was possibly the greatest sendoff the sport of tennis has ever seen. How do you celebrate a career more appropriately than Roger Federer's final match at the Laver Cup? 43:51
1 A true changing of the guard at this year's US Open. Not only have the rankings changed...so has the sport! 48:00
1 The wheels of tennis are spinning hot right now, and Nick Kyrgios is generating much of the spin. Is this man the official "face" of the sport of tennis? Love it or hate it, we say...ab so lutely! 40:19
1 10 years later, after Tennis Channel originally aired AZ's "Never Again" on Best of Five, the KickServeRadio.com boys take a look at how these other-worldly accomplishments have withstood the test… 52:58
1 The Djoker won the battle for the Big W, but make no mistake, this was Nick's Wimby, for better AND for worse! 44:59
1 Denis Kudla has been on fire since winning in the Arizona desert. Today, we talk off-court coaching, Wimby with no points, and how he is teaming up with an old buddy to play doubles at Wimbledon,… 39:53
1 Rafa gets 14 and 22, and it wasn't as easy as the final might make you think. And what about Coco?? Finals of BOTH? Pretty impressive stuff! 50:14
1 40 years ago, a kid barely old enough to drive or shave, took down one of the biggest, baddest titles in the sport. Wilander wins the French at 17. It's been 40 years. Wow!! 46:51
1 It's a KickServe EXCLUSIVE with TC Prez, Ken Solomon. His TENNIS CHANNEL has brought our sport to millions world-wide for two decades. 58:35
1 So let's get this straight...Alcaraz wins on hard, and Opelka on clay?? Well, so far not much in 2022 has played out predictably! 49:05
1 What a run for the American men in the desert!! Fritz and "SIsner" sweep singles and doubles. 42:00
1 A little anger management, perhaps? Yes, we think probably so. The ATP may have come up a little short on this one, to say the least! 45:19
1 Tennis says "adios" to one of the true gentlemen in the sport's history. Juan Martin del Potro finally has to hang 'em up. 50:29
1 At 35, he's still a BAD MAN! And at 21, he's currently at the top of the class. No asterisk, no excuses, just a champion...yet again! 52:58

1 What do these 3 greats have in common with the greats of today? Wilander will tell you exactly what! 53:07

1 Tennis Channel Sr. VP David Egdes joins Mats and AZ for a look back at 2020 and forward to 2021 through the lens of TC. "I don't have a crystal ball, but I see a much better year for all, in '21. 59:24
1 Mats was in London, AZ and Jonny stateside, but down under is where we were focused, and we've got lots to unpack, as Novak and Naomi won big in '21's first major 54:48
1 The country may not be on fire like last year, but there are still plenty of obstacles for the Australian Open to contend with as the 2021 grand slam season does it's best to start on the right foot! 55:53

1 Very few in our sport light up a room, a court, or a studio like Bethanie Mattek Sands. Boy did we have fun chopping it up with her!! 58:33
1 Jimmy Arias is all the sudden one of the hardest working pros in tennis. Tennis Channel analyst, and now Director of Tennis at IMG Academy, this man is always in high gear! 56:20
1 He was the ultimate French Open Giant-Killer, beating Rafa in '09 and Roger in '10, when both were defending champs at Roland Garros. 58:50
1 It was a US Open that was no picnic to put on, but is it "asterisk" worthy? A guy that won it (and two of his buddies) say no way! 51:51
1 He's the "Last One to Get 'er Done." Andy Roddick's 2003 US Open title is the last singles major won by an American man. Has it really been 17 years? 1:04:18
1 Garbine Muguruza and Alexander Zverev certainly have lots to be thankful for, after winning their respective tour finals. But what about Mats, Jonny, and AZ? They should be thankful to still be… 40:40

1 It's been a pretty good Fall season for the American men, and this guy might currently be at the top of the class. 49:03
1 Cam Norrie gets his biggest win to date on tour, as does Paula Badosa at the IW Gardens. The tournament may have been played at a weird time of year, but neither has anything to apologize for. 53:39
1 In a 14-1 LAVER CUP Euro-blowout win, you could argue that Borg made Mac look silly. But do these captains truly affect the outcome? We definitely have a few theories. 47:23
