1. Nothing Major

Established by co-hosts and friends John Isner, Jack Sock, Sam Querrey, and Steve Johnson, Nothing Majorcenters around the premise that none of the four won a Grand Slam title in his career. The majority of their guests also have not won one. The four can be informative and entertaining, and their top viewed episode was when Steve and Sam gave amateur doubles teams a 40 love lead to see if the retired pros could rally and win the game.

2. Served

Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim are the hosts of Served which differs from Nothing Major because it has a more serious tone. Roddick’s highest viewed episodes were when Rafael Nadal and Andre Agassi were guests. Roddick is joining ESPN to cover the Grand Slams which could give him more real time access to high caliber guests at the biggest tournaments on the tennis calendar.

3. The Player’s Box

The Player’s Box is the female version of Nothing Major with four WTA hosts: Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys, Desirae Krawczyk, and Jennifer Brady. All are active players on the WTA Tour so their focus is sharing behind-the-scenes stories from the tournaments. They also have dabbled in food and drink samplings at the WTA Tour stops. Their most viewed episode was the most recent one with Filipina tennis player Alexandra Eala as the guest.

4. The Big T

Tennis Channel jumped into the podcast arena with The Big T. Andrea Petkovic, Mark Petchey, Coco Vandeweghe, and Brad Gilbert are the regular contributors, but other TC personalities or players occasionally appear including Danielle Collins. The episodes are longer form discussions of topics that can appear on the network’s flagship TC Live show.

Which tennis podcast is the best? That depends on what the tennis fan/listener is looking for. With current players and a WTA focus, The Player’s Box is unique. Nothing Major has a lighthearted side to it with frequent bracket contests ranking hottest coaches and players. Served and The Big T are more informational.
