Welcome to We’re Going Five Podcast Season 3 Episode 38, our full Beijing & Tokyo 2026 Recap.

Djokovic adds another historic title to his career. Alcaraz remains perfect in Tokyo. Sinner receives a major injury update. Zverev reaches World No. 1. And before we leave the Asian swing, we preview the Shanghai Masters and make our champion picks.

⏱️ TIMESTAMPS

0:00:00 Intro

00:00:59 Novak Djokovic Rewrites History in Beijing

00:15:00 Carlos Alcaraz Dominates in Tokyo

00:23:48 Thoughts on Sinner’s Season Ending Injury?

00:33:42 Zverev To Become The New World No.1!

00:41:42 Biggest Winners of the week!

00:45:19 Spicy No Spicy?

00:50:46 Overreaction or Not?

00:58:59 Shanghai Masters Preview

01:03:20 Who Ya Got in Shanghai?

🐐 NOVAK DJOKOVIC REWRITES HISTORY IN BEIJING

Novak Djokovic does it again.

34-0 in Beijing.

The best record he has produced at any tournament.

The oldest ATP 500 champion in history.

And career title No. 102.

Djokovic had to go through three completely different challenges on his way to the title:

Alexander Zverev from a set down.

Daniil Medvedev in straight sets.

Alex de Minaur in a tiebreak battle.

At this stage of his career, how is Novak STILL doing this?

And after everything we have seen in 2026, could another huge title still be coming before the season ends?

👑 CARLOS ALCARAZ DOMINATES TOKYO

Carlos Alcaraz continues his ridiculous run.

10-0 in Tokyo.

Back-to-back Tokyo titles.

Four consecutive ATP 500 tournaments won.

And career title No. 27.

Alcaraz is now third among Spanish men for career titles, behind only the legends ahead of him.

After the injury problems that interrupted his season, Carlos has come back firing.

So how high is his level right now?

And could Alcaraz actually finish 2026 without losing another match?

🚨 JANNIK SINNER’S SEASON IS OVER

Jannik Sinner’s injury problems continue.

Sinner has been advised to rest and continue therapy for his tendon issues rather than undergo surgery, bringing his 2026 season to an early end.

What does this mean long term?

Is avoiding surgery the right decision?

And after such a complicated year physically, what version of Sinner should we expect when he returns?

🥇 ZVEREV BECOMES WORLD NO. 1

Alexander Zverev reaches World No. 1 and becomes the 30th man in ATP history to hold the top ranking.

It is another enormous milestone in what has already been a career-changing season.

But there is an interesting wrinkle:

Zverev has only two Top 10 wins all year.

Does that matter?

Or does becoming World No. 1 simply prove that consistency across an entire season matters more than individual marquee wins?

📈 BIGGEST WINNERS OF THE WEEK

Outside the champions, who improved their stock the most?

Alex de Minaur?

Jiri Lehecka?

Valentin Vacherot?

We pick the players leaving the week with the biggest momentum boost.

🌶️ SPICY NO SPICY

Daniil Medvedev finds himself at the center of controversy again after his Djokovic match and a default following an incident involving a fan.

Then there is Terence Atmane, who retired from two tournaments in consecutive weeks deep in deciding sets and also threw his racket into the stands.

Spicy?

No spicy?

Or completely unacceptable?

🧨 OVERREACTION OR NOT?

Novak Djokovic will win another big title before the end of 2026.

Carlos Alcaraz will not lose another match this year.

Djokovic should never play Beijing again and protect the perfect record.

Rafael Jodar will not regain his form until 2027.

Four takes.

Four verdicts.

🇨🇳 SHANGHAI MASTERS PREVIEW

The Asian swing continues with the Shanghai Masters 2026.

We break down the draw, the biggest contenders, dangerous matchups, upset possibilities and the players carrying momentum into another Masters 1000 event.

🏆 WHO YA GOT IN SHANGHAI?

Ismaeel.

Haroon.

Yousef.

Three champion picks.

Who leaves Shanghai with the trophy?

👇 DROP YOUR TAKE

Can Djokovic win another major title this season?

Will Alcaraz lose again in 2026?

What does Sinner’s injury mean for next year?

And who are YOU taking to win Shanghai?

US Open 2026 Final Recap: Alexander Zverev defeats Ben Shelton to become US Open champion, Elena Rybakina conquers New York, and we debate what both results mean for the future of tennis. 🏆🇺🇸

SUBSCRIBE for the BEST tennis debates, Grand Slam reactions, match analysis, predictions, and weekly ATP & WTA breakdowns:

https://www.youtube.com/@tshtennis?sub_confirmation=1

Welcome to the We’re Going Five Podcast US Open 2026 Final Recap.

Alexander Zverev is the US Open champion. Ben Shelton’s incredible New York run finishes one match short of his first Grand Slam. Elena Rybakina captures the women’s US Open title.

We break down both finals, debate our biggest US Open overreactions, reveal who nailed their pre-tournament predictions and dark horses, and make our super early ATP Finals 2026 picks.

⏱️ TIMESTAMPS

00:00:00 Intro

00:00:52 ZVEREV CROWNED US OPEN KING!

00:22:10 WHAT'S NEXT FOR SHELTON?

00:31:12 RYBAKINA CONQUERS NEW YORK!

00:43:09 OVERREACTION OR NOT?

00:50:30 PREDICTIONS & DARK HORSE REVEAL

00:59:33 SUPER EARLY ATP FINALS PICKS!

👑 ZVEREV CROWNED US OPEN KING

Alexander Zverev wins the 2026 US Open.

After another incredible Grand Slam season, Sascha leaves Arthur Ashe Stadium with another major trophy and strengthens his case as one of the best players in the world.

We break down the Zverev vs Shelton US Open final, how Zverev neutralized Shelton’s weapons, and why Sascha continues to look increasingly comfortable in the biggest matches in tennis.

Was the difference his serve?

His backhand?

His ability to absorb Shelton’s first strike?

Or simply his experience in these moments?

And after everything Zverev has accomplished in 2026…

Can Sascha finish the season as World No. 1?

🇺🇸 WHAT’S NEXT FOR BEN SHELTON?

Ben Shelton falls one match short of becoming a Grand Slam champion.

But this US Open changed the conversation around him.

Shelton showed improved patience, stronger returning, better rally tolerance and the ability to beat elite players deep in a major.

So what happens next?

Is Shelton officially a legitimate Grand Slam contender?

What still separates him from the very best players in the world?

And was this actually Ben Shelton’s best chance to win a Slam, or are his biggest opportunities still ahead of him?

👑 RYBAKINA CONQUERS NEW YORK

Elena Rybakina is the 2026 US Open champion.

One of the most dangerous power players in women’s tennis delivers on one of the biggest stages in the sport.

We break down why Rybakina’s serve and first-strike tennis are so devastating on hard courts, what this championship means for her place in the WTA hierarchy, and how high her ceiling really is when healthy.

Which leads to one huge question:

Can Elena Rybakina complete the Career Grand Slam in 2027?

🧨 OVERREACTION OR NOT?

Four takes. Four verdicts.

Zverev will finish 2026 as Year-End World No. 1.

This was Ben Shelton’s best chance to win a Grand Slam.

Elena Rybakina will complete the Career Grand Slam next year.

Aryna Sabalenka will finish the year outside the Top 4.

Overreaction… or are we actually cooking?

🔮 PREDICTIONS & DARK HORSE REVEAL

Time to pull out the receipts.

Before the US Open started, we made our champion predictions, early exit picks, Ride or Die selections and dark horse choices.

Now the tournament is finished.

Who actually predicted the champions?

Which dark horse made the deepest run?

Who completely misunderstood the draw?

Which pick died immediately?

And who gets bragging rights until the next Grand Slam?

We reveal all of our pre-tournament picks and grade how well our US Open 2026 predictions actually aged.

🎯 SUPER EARLY ATP FINALS PICKS

The Grand Slam season is over.

Now the ATP Race to Turin gets serious.

Who qualifies for the 2026 ATP Finals?

Who misses out?

Which player could make a late-season surge?

And if the ATP Finals started tomorrow…

Who would we pick to win the whole thing?

👇 JOIN THE DEBATE

Will Zverev finish 2026 as World No. 1?

Was this Shelton’s best chance at a Slam?

Can Rybakina complete the Career Grand Slam?

Does Sabalenka finish outside the Top 4?

And who wins the ATP Finals?

US Open 2026 semifinal recap: Ben Shelton beats Frances Tiafoe, Alexander Zverev defeats Karen Khachanov, and now Shelton vs Zverev is set for the US Open final. We break down both semifinals and preview who wins the title in New York. 🇺🇸🎾

Welcome to our US Open 2026 Semifinal Recap on the We’re Going Five Podcast.

We react to Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe, break down Alexander Zverev vs Karen Khachanov, and preview the massive Ben Shelton vs Alexander Zverev US Open final.

Who has the edge? What decided the semifinals? And who leaves New York as US Open champion?

Timestamps:

00:00:00 Intro

00:00:46 THOUGHTS ON SHELTON VS TIAFOE?

00:15:00 THOUGHTS ON ZVEREV VS KHACHANOV?

00:25:47 SHELTON VS ZVEREV PREVIEW

00:34:20 WYG: SHELTON OR ZVEREV?

🇺🇸 SHELTON BEATS TIAFOE

Ben Shelton gets through Frances Tiafoe and reaches the biggest final of his career.

After finally earning his first Top 3 victory earlier in the tournament, Shelton keeps the momentum going inside Arthur Ashe Stadium and survives an all-American US Open semifinal with everything on the line.

How much has Shelton actually improved during this US Open?

Is his serve still the biggest story, or has his return game, movement, shot tolerance and decision-making finally caught up with the enormous weapons everyone already knew he had?

And for Frances Tiafoe, after another deep run in New York, should this US Open feel like major progress or another enormous opportunity missed?

💪 ZVEREV GETS PAST KHACHANOV

Alexander Zverev defeats Karen Khachanov and reaches another Grand Slam final.

Zverev has been one of the most consistent Grand Slam players in men’s tennis throughout 2026, and now he has another opportunity to add to his major collection.

What stood out most against Khachanov?

Was it the first serve?

The backhand?

His baseline patience?

Or simply Zverev looking increasingly comfortable in the biggest matches on the ATP Tour?

🔥 SHELTON VS ZVEREV US OPEN FINAL PREVIEW

Now we get the matchup.

Ben Shelton vs Alexander Zverev for the 2026 US Open title.

Shelton brings one of the biggest serves in tennis, explosive first-strike power, left-handed patterns, Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd support and absolutely no fear.

Zverev brings Grand Slam final experience, elite serving, one of the best two-handed backhands in tennis and the confidence of a player who has consistently reached the business end of majors this season.

The tactical questions are fascinating.

Can Shelton consistently attack Zverev’s forehand?

Can Zverev neutralize Shelton’s lefty serve?

Who wins the backhand exchanges?

Can Shelton keep the rallies short and dictate with his forehand?

Can Zverev turn this into a physical baseline battle?

And if the US Open final becomes a four or five-hour fight, which player do we trust more under pressure?

🎯 WHO YA GOT?

BEN SHELTON OR ALEXANDER ZVEREV?

Does Shelton complete the dream New York run and win his first Grand Slam title?

Or does Zverev’s experience and consistency become too much in the biggest match of the tournament?

👇 DROP YOUR PICK

Shelton or Zverev?

How many sets?

And who will be holding the US Open trophy at Arthur Ashe Stadium?

Welcome to our US Open Quarterfinal Recap on the We’re Going Five Podcast.

We break down Ben Shelton’s massive win over Carlos Alcaraz, Frances Tiafoe somehow surviving Alex Michelsen, Alexander Zverev taking care of Botic van de Zandschulp, and Karen Khachanov ending Alexander Blockx’s incredible run.

Then it is semifinal time.

Shelton vs Tiafoe.
Zverev vs Khachanov.

43:06 Thoughts on Khachanov vs Blockx
47:53 Zverev vs Khachanov Preview

🇺🇸 SHELTON FINALLY DOES IT

Ben Shelton takes down Carlos Alcaraz and gets one of the biggest wins of his career.

Before this match, Shelton had gone 0–17 against Top 3 opponents.

Eighteenth time lucky.

But was this Shelton finally showing that his ceiling is even higher than we thought?

Or did Alcaraz leave the door open?

We break down Shelton’s serving, aggression, mentality and what this win means for his development at Grand Slam level.

🤯 BIG FOE SOMEHOW SURVIVES

Frances Tiafoe was two sets down.

Alex Michelsen was serving for the match.

And Tiafoe still found a way to win.

On Arthur Ashe Stadium, with his US Open run disappearing in front of him, Big Foe produces another unforgettable New York comeback.

Was this Tiafoe showing the mentality of a genuine Slam contender?

Or did Michelsen suffer one of the most painful collapses of the tournament?

🔥 SHELTON VS TIAFOE

And now we get the matchup America wanted.

Ben Shelton vs Frances Tiafoe for a place in the US Open final.

Shelton enters after the biggest win of his career.

Tiafoe enters after one of the biggest comebacks of his career.

Two huge personalities.

Two massive forehands.

Arthur Ashe Stadium.

And an American guaranteed to play for the US Open title.

Who handles the moment better?

🎯 WHO YA GOT?

Shelton or Tiafoe?

We break down the serve battle, return games, pressure moments, experience and who we trust more if this gets tight late.

💪 ZVEREV KEEPS MOVING

Alexander Zverev gets past Botic van de Zandschulp and continues another deep Grand Slam run.

After everything Sascha has done at the majors in 2026, is he quietly becoming the safest player in men’s tennis to make the business end of a Slam?

And more importantly, is this finally the tournament where he adds another major?

🚀 WHAT A RUN FROM BLOCKX

Alexander Blockx’s US Open run finally ends against Karen Khachanov.

Even without reaching the semifinal, Blockx leaves New York having announced himself on one of the biggest stages in tennis.

We discuss what impressed us most about his run and whether this was a one tournament explosion or the beginning of something much bigger.

⚔️ ZVEREV VS KHACHANOV

The other semifinal gives us a completely different type of battle.

Alexander Zverev vs Karen Khachanov.

Two huge servers.

Two powerful baseliners.

Two players comfortable going deep at Grand Slams.

Does Zverev’s backhand and consistency give him the advantage?

Can Khachanov make this physical and drag Sascha into another long Grand Slam fight?

And who handles the pressure of being one match away from the US Open final?

🎯 WHO YA GOT?

Zverev or Khachanov?

👇 DROP YOUR PICKS

Shelton or Tiafoe?

Zverev or Khachanov?

And who are you taking to WIN the US Open from the final four?

Novak Djokovic’s shocking loss raises a big question: can he still win another Grand Slam? We break down the defeat, discuss whether his lighter tournament schedule hurt his preparation, and debate what comes next for the GOAT!

Djokovic gets a dream US Open draw? Alcaraz gets screwed? Zverev might have the clearest path of anyone, while Fils and Rybakina could be in serious trouble. The US Open draw is HERE. 🇺🇸🎾

https://www.youtube.com/@tshtennis?sub_confirmation=1

Welcome to We’re Going Five Podcast Season 3 Episode 30, our full US Open Draw Preview.

We break down both draws from top to bottom: who got lucky, who got absolutely screwed, the first round fireworks, dangerous early matchups, Top 10 players on upset watch, our US Open Bingo cards, Ride or Die players, fan hot takes, dark horses, and finally our champions.

And with the US Open picture completely open, the arguments get VERY different.

🍀 WHO GOT LUCKY?

The guys disagree on who really received the biggest gift from the draw, but one thing is clear: there are some VERY different roads to the second week.

Does Djokovic have the path he needs to chase Grand Slam No. 25?

And after everything Zverev has done at the majors in 2026, did the draw just give him another massive opportunity?

💀 WHO GOT SCREWED?

How much can a difficult bracket change everything?

🔥 EARLY ROUND FIREWORKS

The first week is LOADED.

Potential matchups include:

Wawrinka vs Berrettini

Shelton vs Griekspoor

Fils vs Tsitsipas

Musetti vs Arthur Fery

Rafael Jodar vs Kokkinakis

And those are only some of the matches that could turn the draw upside down before we even reach the second week.

✈️ WHO’S TAKING THE FIRST FLIGHT HOME?

Every Slam has a Top 10 player who disappears before anyone expects it.

Our men’s upset alerts include:

Who is about to ruin thousands of brackets?

🎯 US OPEN BINGO

The game is back.

Everyone reveals their US Open Bingo card with predictions for the ridiculous, dramatic, and completely inevitable things we think will happen over the next two weeks.

Some of these will look genius.

Others might be dead by Day 2.

❤️ RIDE OR DIE

One player.

No abandoning them when things get ugly.

No changing picks halfway through the tournament.

Picks revealed in the episode.

Who are YOU riding with for the entire US Open?

⚽ US OPEN DRAFT

Pick players.

One team.

No second chances.

We draft our US Open squads and fight over who has built the strongest lineup for New York.

🌶️ FANS’ HOT TAKES

You sent them.

Now we have to judge them.

The wildest US Open opinions from the WGF community go on trial.

🌑 WHO IS YOUR US OPEN DARK HORSE?

The rule:

Outside the Top 8 and must reach at least the quarterfinals.

We are NOT giving these picks away here.

You have to hear the arguments.

🏆 WHO WINS THE US OPEN?

We make our final men’s and women’s champion picks before the first ball is hit in New York.

👇 DROP YOUR PICKS

Who got the easiest US Open draw?

Who got absolutely screwed?

01:00:52 Wrap Up

👑 KING CARLITOS IS BACK

Carlos Alcaraz announces that he will return to the tour and play the US Open after almost five months out with the wrist injury that forced him to miss Roland Garros and Wimbledon.

How much should we actually expect from him immediately?

Can Alcaraz go from five months without competitive tennis straight into a Grand Slam and realistically win it?

And with Sinner now out, has the entire tournament suddenly opened up for Carlos?

🚨 SINNER OUT OF THE US OPEN

Jannik Sinner’s lingering knee injury continues, and he is forced to withdraw from the US Open.

It completely changes the men’s draw.

Does Alcaraz immediately become the favorite despite the layoff?

Does this create Novak Djokovic’s clearest opportunity for Slam No. 25?

And how worried should we be about Sinner beyond just New York?

🔥 ARTHUR FILS MAKES HISTORY IN CINCINNATI

Arthur Fils puts together one of the biggest runs of his career.

He leaves Cincinnati with a first Masters 1000 breakthrough, a career high around World No. 11, sixth place in the ATP Race, and some serious momentum heading toward New York.

So how far are we willing to go?

Is Arthur Fils entering the conversation with the very best players on tour?

🇺🇸 HOW HIGH ARE WE ON BIG FOE?

Frances Tiafoe reaches another Cincinnati final and another Masters 1000 final.

And his run was anything but easy.

Against Brandon Nakashima, Tiafoe faced three set points serving at 4–5, saved all three, held serve and immediately broke.

That is exactly the type of tennis Big Foe has not always produced consistently.

So heading into the US Open: is Frances Tiafoe actually America’s best chance of ending the men’s Grand Slam drought?

🏆 COCO GAUFF CROWNED CINCINNATI QUEEN

Coco Gauff wins Cincinnati again and picks up her first title of 2026.

After dropping the first set she played all tournament, Coco kept getting better.

She becomes only the third woman after Serena Williams and Victoria Azarenka to win multiple Cincinnati titles.

And after the final, Coco gave her racket to an 80-year-old fan as a birthday gift.

But the bigger tennis question:

Is Coco now the clear US Open favorite?

📈 BIGGEST WINNERS OF CINCINNATI

Beyond the champions, who actually improved their stock the most?

Brandon Nakashima continues an incredible stretch after reaching the Montreal final and Cincinnati semifinal, including wins over Medvedev and Taylor Fritz.

And Rafael Jodar continues forcing his way into the Next Gen conversation.

🎥 DJOKOVIC: THE WOLF IN WINTER

Novak Djokovic’s new documentary The Wolf in Winter gives us plenty to debate.

Does Djokovic actually need people to hate him?

Did being tennis’ villain actually make Djokovic better?

Djokovic’s motivation may never disappear. His body might eventually have to make the decision for him.

With Sinner out and Alcaraz coming back after five months away…

Is the 2026 US Open secretly Djokovic’s Last Dance for Grand Slam No. 25?

🚨 KYRGIOS SUSPENSION

Nick Kyrgios has been provisionally suspended following a cocaine case.

We discuss what the suspension means for Kyrgios and ask the uncomfortable question:

Could this be the end of his professional career?

🧨 OVERREACTION OR NOT?

Arthur Fils is currently the third best player on tour.

Frances Tiafoe is America’s best chance at winning a Slam.

An American man will reach the US Open final.

Coco Gauff is the clear US Open favorite.

Rafael Jodar is better than João Fonseca right now.

🎲 WHO YA GOT?

We finish with our picks for the US Open Mixed Doubles.

👇 DROP YOUR TAKE

With Sinner out and Alcaraz returning from a five-month absence, who is your US Open favorite right now?

And after Cincinnati, how high are you on Arthur Fils?

Welcome to We’re Going Five Podcast Season 3 Episode 31, our full Wimbledon Final Recap, where Yousef, Ismaeel, and Haroon break down Jannik Sinner defending his Wimbledon crown, Alexander Zverev’s incredible Grand Slam consistency, Carlos Alcaraz’s injury concerns, and Linda Noskova’s breakthrough title.

⏱️ TIMESTAMPS

0:00 Intro

00:00:55 Sinner defends his Wimby throne!

00:14:29 Should Zverev feel good or bad?

00:25:21 Noskova inspires to the Wimbledon trophy!

00:32:37 Overreaction or Not?

00:45:54 Where we were right & wrong

00:51:49 Super Early US Open WYG?

🏆 Sinner defends his Wimbledon crown Jannik Sinner comes from a set down against Alexander Zverev to win his second straight Wimbledon title, his fifth Grand Slam title, and his first major of 2026. After losing early at Roland Garros, Sinner answers in the loudest way possible by beating Novak Djokovic and Zverev back to back at Wimbledon. Has Sinner re established himself as clearly the best player in the world?

🥈 Should Zverev feel good or bad about today Australian Open semifinal. Roland Garros champion. Wimbledon finalist. Zverev is the only man to reach at least the semifinals at all three majors so far in 2026, and before this year he had never gone beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon. Even with the final loss, has Zverev been the best Grand Slam player of the season? And did winning Roland Garros permanently change him mentally?

⚠️ Should we be worried about Alcaraz Carlos Alcaraz misses both Roland Garros and Wimbledon because of the right wrist injury from the Barcelona swing. After reaching the previous three Wimbledon finals and winning the title in 2023 and 2024, his absence completely changed the grass court conversation. How concerned should we be that this injury has now cost him two consecutive majors?

👑 Linda Noskova wins Wimbledon Linda Noskova defeats Karolina Muchova 6 2, 5 7, 6 3 to win her first Grand Slam title. At 21, she becomes the youngest Wimbledon women’s champion since Petra Kvitova in 2011, and the third Czech women’s champion at Wimbledon in four years. Is Noskova now a permanent Slam contender? Why does Czech tennis keep producing elite women’s players? And is Muchova the best active player without a major?

🧨 Overreaction or Not Zverev will become World No. 1 within the next two years. Zverev will win his second Slam before Djokovic wins his 25th. Djokovic’s days of winning majors are over. Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles will never be broken. Sinner will equal Djokovic’s seven Wimbledon titles. Sascha Zverev will win Wimbledon at least once before he retires. Djokovic’s Wimbledon 2026 run is more impressive than Messi’s 2026 World Cup run. Zverev played Sinner at Wimbledon better than Alcaraz.

✅ Where we were right and wrong Yousef and Haroon had Sinner. Nobody had Noskova. Ismaeel had Djokovic. We run the receipts after a wild Wimbledon.

🎾 Super early Who Ya Got for the US Open Men’s picks: Djokovic, Sinner, Sinner. Women’s picks: Pegula, Rybakina, Anisimova. Hard court season is coming fast.

👇 Drop your takes in the comments Is Sinner clearly the best player in the world again, and should Zverev feel proud or crushed after this Wimbledon final?

Welcome to this episode of the We’re Going Five Podcast, where Haroon, Ismaeel, and Yousef recap Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic, break down Arthur Fery vs Jannik Sinner, and preview the massive Sinner vs Zverev final.

🔥 Sinner vs Djokovic Recap
Jannik Sinner takes out Novak Djokovic in one of the biggest matches of the tournament. We break down how Sinner handled the pressure, what made his baseline level so difficult to manage, and whether this felt like another major shift in the Djokovic vs Sinner rivalry.

🐐 What went wrong for Djokovic
Djokovic had the experience, the grass court IQ, and the Centre Court aura, but Sinner found answers. Was this about age, movement, matchup dynamics, serving patterns, or simply Sinner being too clean from the baseline?

🎾 Fery vs Sinner Recap
Arthur Fery gave Sinner a different kind of challenge, and we look at what that match revealed about Sinner’s rhythm, focus, return game, and ability to deal with opponents who have nothing to lose.

🏆 Sinner vs Zverev Final Preview
Now it is Jannik Sinner vs Sascha Zverev for the title. Sinner brings timing, return pressure, and brutal baseline control. Zverev brings serve, backhand stability, physicality, and big match experience. This final could come down to first serve percentage, court position, and who wins the longer neutral rallies.

👀 What to expect
Can Zverev finally disrupt Sinner’s rhythm?
Can Sinner keep attacking the Zverev forehand?
Will Zverev’s serve carry him through pressure moments?
Does Sinner’s return make this matchup a nightmare?
And who handles the final better mentally?

🎯 Who Ya Got?
We give our predictions, keys to the match, and final picks for who lifts the trophy.

Welcome to this episode of the We’re Going Five Podcast, where Haroon, Ismaeel, and Yousef recap Novak Djokovic vs Felix Auger Aliassime, break down how Djokovic handled one of the most dangerous grass court power games in the draw, and preview the massive Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner clash at Wimbledon.

24:40 Who You Got: Sinner VS Nole?

🐐 Djokovic vs Auger Aliassime recap Novak Djokovic gets through Felix Auger Aliassime and proves again why he is still one of the hardest players in the world to beat on grass. FAA brought the serve, power, and first strike pressure, but Djokovic’s return quality, court management, and big point discipline made the difference.

⚡ Did Felix let it slip Felix Auger Aliassime had the weapons to make this uncomfortable. We discuss whether this was a missed chance for FAA, what worked, what broke down, and what this match says about where his grass court level really is.

🔥 Djokovic vs Sinner preview Now the real blockbuster arrives: Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon. Experience versus current dominance. Grass court IQ versus baseline control. The greatest Wimbledon problem solver of this era against one of the cleanest ball strikers in tennis.

🎾 What Djokovic needs to do Can Djokovic use variety, serving patterns, court position, and grass court instincts to disrupt Sinner’s rhythm? Or does he need a near perfect serving day to survive?

🚀 What Sinner needs to do Sinner has the timing, return pressure, and baseline control to take the racket out of almost anyone’s hand. But can he keep that level against Djokovic on Centre Court, where every point feels heavier?

🏆 Who ya got We give our predictions, key tactical battles, and what this matchup could mean for the Wimbledon title race.

Welcome to We’re Going Five Podcast Season 3 Episode 28, our full Wimbledon Draw Preview, where Yousef, Ismaeel, and Haroon break down the men’s and women’s draws, debate who got lucky, who got absolutely screwed, and who has the path to lift the trophy.

🎾 Who got lucky?

Djokovic, Zverev, and Sinner all get different reactions from the crew. Is Djokovic’s draw as clean as it looks? Did Zverev land in the perfect section? And why does Haroon think Sinner should be happy with his path?

😬 Who got screwed?

Zverev, Arthur Fils, and Sinner all come up in the danger draw discussion. Grass rewards first strike tennis, chaos servers, and awkward matchups, so even the top names have traps everywhere.

🏆 Who is the 4th favorite for Wimbledon?

Sinner, Djokovic, and Zverev are the top three favorites. But who is next?

We debate grass form, draw paths, serve quality, movement, and who is most likely to crash the final weekend.

🔥 Spicy Wimbledon matchups

Draper vs Fritz

Medvedev vs Cilic

Zverev vs Blockx

Fils vs Collignon

Wawrinka vs Berrettini

Fonseca vs Roberto Bautista Agut

⚔️ Who goes further?

Zverev or Djokovic

Shelton or Medvedev

Cobolli or Felix Auger Aliassime

Mensik or Fonseca

👑 How far will Serena Williams go?

Serena’s Wimbledon path starts with Maya Joint, but could bring Alex Eala in round two and Iga Swiatek in round three. How dangerous is she really, and how much magic is still there on grass?

✈️ First flight home

Top 10 players on upset watch.

🌑 Wimbledon dark horses

🏆 Big Foe wins his biggest title in Halle Frances Tiafoe wins his first ATP 500 title and fourth tour title overall, beating three Top 10 players on the way: Taylor Fritz, Felix Auger Aliassime, and Flavio Cobolli. Tiafoe then takes out Daniel Altmaier in the final and becomes the only American champion in Halle history. Is this finally the grass court breakthrough Big Foe needed before Wimbledon?

🇺🇸 Fritz, Zverev, and American grass momentum Taylor Fritz beats Alexander Zverev for the seventh straight time and ends Zverev’s ten match streak just weeks after Sascha’s maiden Slam. With Fritz, Tiafoe, Shelton, and more making noise, are the Americans suddenly the most dangerous grass court nation on tour?

🇦🇷 Cerúndolo shines at Queen’s Francisco Cerúndolo becomes only the second Argentine man in the Open Era to reach the Queen’s final, and the first since David Nalbandian in 2012. With Nicolás Massú joining his team and Cerúndolo reaching his first final above ATP 250 level, is this the start of a new chapter?

⚠️ Zverev fatigue watch Zverev played a lead up event while Sinner and Djokovic rested, then dealt with heat, medical drama, and a diabetes sensor issue in Halle. Is this just a strange week, or a real concern before Wimbledon? 👀 Sinner without official matches Jannik Sinner will only play the Giorgio Armani exhibition before Wimbledon, with no official matches in over a month. Smart rest or risky preparation?

💪 Alcaraz physical concern Recent images of Carlos Alcaraz have fans asking whether he looks noticeably slimmer. Is this actually a concern, or are people overreading off court pictures?

🤝 Murray and Draper Andy Murray and Jack Draper are working together ahead of Eastbourne and Wimbledon. How much can Murray help Draper with tactics, mentality, grass court movement, and big match management?

🌶️ Spicy No Spicy Dan Evans denied a Wimbledon wildcard in his final year on tour after previously skipping a Washington title defense to represent Great Britain at the Olympics. Fair decision or brutal treatment?

🎟️ Wimbledon wildcards debate Stan Wawrinka gets one. Grigor Dimitrov gets one. Gael Monfils does not. Serena and Venus Williams get one in doubles. Bublik and Kyrgios enter doubles. Maja Chwalińska gets one too. We debate who deserved it, who missed out, and what the tournament got right.

🔥 Berlin check in Linda Nosková and Jessica Pegula are balling in Berlin, and the women’s grass season is heating up fast.

🧨 Overreaction or Not Serena Williams does not deserve a Wimbledon wildcard for singles. Fritz’s dominance over Zverev is more impressive than Sinner’s dominance over Zverev.

Alexander Zverev wins in straight sets and reaches another Roland Garros final. Is this finally the moment he turns deep Slam runs into the biggest title of his career, or is the pressure even heavier now?

🇮🇹 Cobolli walks into the final
Flavio Cobolli beats Felix Auger Aliassime in four sets, then advances to the Roland Garros final after Matteo Arnaldi withdraws from their semifinal. Cobolli is now standing one match away from a career defining Grand Slam title. Is this destiny, draw chaos, form, or all three?

🏆 Who ya got: Zverev or Cobolli
Experience versus momentum. Zverev has been here before, but Cobolli has become one of the stories of the tournament. We debate the matchup, the pressure, and who has the edge in the Roland Garros final.

🌟 How good is Mirra looking
Mirra Andreeva keeps showing why her ceiling feels massive. The movement, maturity, shot tolerance, and confidence under pressure all look real. Is she ready to win Roland Garros now?

🔥 Zverev vs Jodar Alexander Zverev looked locked in with a straight sets win, but Rafael Jodar has become one of the breakout stories of Roland Garros.

Welcome to Season 3 Episode 20 of the We’re Going Five Podcast, where Yousef, Ismaeel, and Haroon recap Rome, react to Sinner’s latest historic run in Rome, break down the clay contenders heading into Roland Garros, and hand out cool dude moments of the week.

🏆 Sinner makes more history in Rome

Jannik Sinner extends the streak, pushes closer to the Career Golden Masters chase, and survives a brutal Medvedev match with cramps, a rain suspension, and a late finish. Is this the most resilient version of Sinner yet, and what does it mean for Paris?

🧱 Are we watching the best Casper Ruud ever

Ruud’s clay level looks like a permanent final week threat. Is this peak Ruud, and where does he sit in the Roland Garros contender tier?

🔥 Medvedev in Rome

Medvedev takes a deep run and loses to Sinner in a three set war. What did this week reveal about Medvedev’s ceiling on clay and his place in the 2026 race?

⚠️ Djokovic heading into Roland Garros

One match under his belt, a loss to a qualifier, and now the biggest question: is this strategic conservation or a real warning sign?

💥 Darderi shocks Zverev

Luciano Darderi flips the match with clutch tiebreak survival and a third set bagel. Is this more about court conditions, Zverev’s level, or Darderi’s belief?

🇪🇸 Jodar and Landaluce: the next wave

Two Spanish teenagers making Masters noise in back to back events. Who impressed you more, and what does their trajectory look like now?

👑 Svitolina wins Rome again

Elina Svitolina takes a third Rome title with a monster run through the top names. Where does this put her for Roland Garros?

🧨 Overreaction or Not

Sinner will break Federer’s 2005 season win percentage of 95.3 percent.

Darderi is a Top 10 player by the end of 2026.

Sinner vs Medvedev is the fourth best rivalry in tennis.

Sinner is the favorite to win Roland Garros more than Nadal ever was.

Medvedev will be the only player to beat both Sinner and Alcaraz in 2026.

Casper Ruud is the third favorite for Roland Garros.
