Vamos Rafa Jodar…Combined Power Rankings + Madrid Boss Feli Lopez | Episode 18 | The Big T Podcast
Tennis
Carlos Alcaraz is OUT of Rome. OUT of Roland Garros. The clay season just blew up and Petch and Petko are fired up to get into it!
Does Sinner just waltz to his second French Open title now? Is Djokovic the luckiest man alive AGAIN? And is this finally — FINALLY — the year Zverev stops being the guy who almost does it? We're breaking down every angle, no mercy.
Then we got 'MADRID FINAL BOSS,' FELICIANO LOPEZ in the building. 20 years on tour, Davis Cup legend, the man who literally runs the Madrid Open. He opens up about what ACTUALLY happens behind the scenes when your biggest star pulls out, the insane rise of 19-year-old Rafa Jodar and nostalgia over Spain's golden generation. Also yes, the hair is still perfect. We don't know how. Nobody does.
After that, Jonas Eriksson — aka Tennis Nerd — comes in and goes full GEEK MODE. Racquets. Strings. Tensions. Clay season adjustments. The three greatest racquets ever made. You didn't know you needed this conversation. You were wrong.
And to close — THE MOMENT THIS EPISODE WAS BUILT FOR. The debut of the Big T Combined Power Rankings heading into mid spring, early summer. Petko's top 5 vs Petchey's top 5. Titles, wins, overall dominance. Agreements? Almost none. Arguments? Absolutely. This is the tennis show you deserve.
Presented by ServiceNow.
