The Diamond Episode
Episode 75
Sunday, 23 August, 2026

The Tennis Tragic #075 / The Diamond Episode / David and Matte get together to celebrate their 75th episode with the Tennis Tragic! We revisit our dreams of making it to the Tennis Podcast Hall of Fame one day, while recognizing the reality that we're still just grinding away on the Futures Tour. It is both a time for renewal and a time for long fade-outs in the world of professional tennis. We take time to enjoy the recent emergence of Sara Bejlek, Alexandra Eala and Brandon Nakashima and discuss the dwindling relevance of doubles as a tennis medium and the Williams sisters continued engagement with the sport. Finally, we check on Upset Game rankings and look forward to seeing Alcaraz's long flowing locks at the US Open, hoping to live in a Darkness-free world.* Visit the Tragic Archive at tennistragic.com* Play the Upset Game at upsetgame.com* Follow us on Instagram @tennistragicpod
