We kickoff this episode of THE BIG T with Andrea Petkovic and Mark Petchey taste testing the $100 Golden Glizzy Caviar Hotdog in Miami where Week Two of tennis action serves up stunning upsets and incredible matchups.
Iga Swiatek parts ways with coaching guru Wim Fissette and Petchey and Petko analyze who could be next for the former World Cup #1. Could THE BIG T’s own Brad Gilbert get a call or will we see a familiar face in Iga’s corner? What would coach Petchey do to fix Iga’s game and help her find the right balance of aggression and defense?
In this episode we also look into the stunning upset of Carlos Alcaraz at the hands of Seb Korda.
American phenom, Iva Jovic joins Andrea Petkovic to discuss her first full season on the WTA Tour. She opens up about the new challenges of life on tour, learning to handle losses in a healthier way, and her morning battles vs. her alarm clock and snooze button.
Plus, she shares which tennis legend she’d most want to sit down with for dinner. A candid conversation with one of the game’s most exciting young prospects.
João Fonseca’s forehand is already one of the most talked-about shots in tennis — but how does it stack up against… everything else?
In this episode, Mark Petchey puts Andrea Petkovic through a hilarious challenge: choosing between Fonseca’s forehand and a series of unique options — from a $100 caviar hot dog to a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick.
A fun, unpredictable segment that shows a lighter side of tennis debate.
Is Jannik Sinner Too “Robotic”? Fonseca’s Take Sparks Debate
Did João Fonseca just sum up Jannik Sinner’s game — or oversimplify it?
Petchey and Petko react to Fonseca’s comments comparing Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, suggesting that Alcaraz brings more variety while Sinner plays a more “robotic” style.
Is that an accurate assessment — or is there a better way to describe Sinner’s relentless, precise approach?
A thoughtful breakdown of two of the biggest stars shaping the future of tennis.
