Love the show guys! Makes me feel like I’m discussing and debating tennis with a bunch of my mates! I love the “unfiltered” takes on everything, but also greatly appreciate how you keep the audience informed in a conscientious way and site your sources!

James I know how foolhardy you can be but you might want to look up the term “stacked” in Urban Dictionary and perhaps refrain from referring to a WTA player as Stacked

what is all the background noise going on during the pod ?? someone is doing something with their hands to make noise that is extremely distracting and annoying. do you realize how annoying and unprofessional this is??? can whoever is causing this noise please STOP ?? your listeners are trying to listen to your voices and what you are saying, which is hard to do with all this commotion going on in the background .

It’s just some guys sitting around, laughing and joking and making no sense to me at all. There’s nothing substantive I feel dumber for having wasted any time at all listening to this podcast.

Congratulations Calvin, Harry, Henry and everyone! I started watching men’s/women’s doubles because of this podcast (which is great). My only wish would be for y’all to do 2 podcasts a week for my work commute but so is life. Keep it up!

Very disappointing at the low quality of reporting. The speakers were sad that Swiatek did not reach the final. No mention of Key’s accomplishment, now in a final nearly 8 years after her prior one. Of the top 15 woman from 2017, only 3 are still active. Comments about the effect of the roof being closed were based on zero data or facts, just uninformed speculation.

Love the chemistry between the three but please be nicer to George 😂

Tennis Unfiltered is one of my favorite tennis podcasts. Far superior and more intelligent than the big U.S. tennis podcast that will go un-named. Calvin’s takes are particularly entertaining.

Great chemistry amongst all and Calvin’s honesty and expertise makes it stand out from the rest.

calvin is a modern day ebenezer scrooge i swear. also, i’m over hearing about *insert uppity voice* HEN REE & HA REEE. spare us the monologues!!!!!

I LOVE the banter between all three…James, George & Calvin. Calvin is the star in my humble opinion because it’s difficult for him not to speak his mind. His rant about celebrity coaches was particularly amusing. James making fun of as many things as possible about George…veganism, injuries, etc. especially is also amusing. Thank you for this breath of fresh air with each new topic. I can’t wait to hear what you you think about Cocoa’s and Brad’s split.

Love the insights you offer from different aspect of the tennis world. My daughter Allie is a high school tennis player and witnessing the behind-the-scenes intrigue has really piqued my interest in the world of professional players. Having a coach, player, and journalist weighing in on the action is very enlightening.

Gentlemen, excellent Wimbledon review. I especially enjoyed Calvin’s report on the champions’ dinner and his thoughts on coaching Henry in the doubles. Unfortunately, the men’s doubles final was not available on the ESPN streaming service I rely on, which raises a question: does Tennis actually care if people watch all of the finals?

While it’s good to get the behind-the-scenes coaching view, there is just too much doubles talk. I had to wade through a half hour of the commentator’s personal team’s doubles results, then how to promote doubles, then how doubles specialists would draw bigger audiences than singles players playing doubles — all before they got to the Madrid review. Guys — not all of us love doubles as much as you do or are as interested in how your clients are performing in their challengers. Your commentary is good but can we hear more about the top 100 ATP and WTA players?

Typical British racist/xenophobic tennis commentary. Heavy on the Novak Djokovic bashing. Sadly it’s not even original as the “tennis podcast” has already executed this hate commentary formula.

You chaps have been doing a refreshingly bountiful podcast. My trousers are shaking from the sheer brilliance🥸

What a refreshing alternative to other options. They provide great insight in a very casual manner that’s great to listen to in any environment. I do question their judgement in supporting Manchester United, but I guess they must have some flaw.

Interesting discussions

If you want to hear about the challenges of the tour —this is a good listen. Unvarnished —refreshing—and digging deep into the realm of the tennis sporting world!! Highly recommend if you are invested in the sport of tennis!!!

I have just a handful of podcasts that I listen to every episode of, and this one of them. May not agree with everything every one of them says, but they don’t agree with everything the others say either, which is part of the fun. Definitely check it out if you’re into tennis.

Really enjoy listening to all the banter back and forth and their take on tennis. Only wish they would invest in some top quality mics, sound like they all share one mic, and it’s in another room.

SO BOLD and brilliant!

I have a question for Calvin since he was so adamant about it. Seeing Coco’s results since she got her new coaches, including Pera who I think Calvin was quite critical about, do you not think they have had some effect? Not saying her forehand is fixed but she definitely has a new vide on court. Thanks.

I can’t watch tennis unless it’s grand slam season, and this show really informed me about everything going on in the tennis world. I just started watching 2 months ago, and haven’t missed an episode since!

If I had the option to choose a 6 star review, I wouldn’t. 5 is about right. I love tuning in each week to get insights and updates of the tour. Most of the hosts are very clever. One of my favorite podcasts. Phil from Boston

One week after (more) allegations that a top player abused his baby mama, the hosts of this podcast toasted the same man’s many talents and spent a good 40 minutes debating his potential. This guy allegedly beat up multiple partners but he can apparently count on this crappy podcast to exonerate and to humanize his bad behavior. I was so frustrated and angry listening to this podcast I nearly threw my iPhone across the room. But I came here and delivered a one star review instead. Which is generous because they deserve zero stars.

A lot of good/great tennis podcasts focus on the larger narratives around the tour and tournaments, and that’s great. But Tennis Unfiltered provides an insider’s perspective of the game, along with much needed technical and strategic analysis of players and why or how they win or lose.

Interesting as always! I was laughing out loud on my walk, when I heard the whole bit about the red white and green flag! Just hoping no one saw me. I have 2 contenders for you Matteo Arnaldi and Andrea Vavassori, but I’m guessing that may not jog Calvin’s memory! Enjoy the trip to Paris!

I wait impatiently from the end of the “just played” edition for the next one. I think Calvin IS my favorite of all podcasters. & probably bc he’s a coach & not a podcaster 😂 & can give perspective on topics in a way most can’t. His blunt honesty (& his endearing accent) is refreshing, funny & yes, unfiltered. Keep it going. I love the enhanced (long) episodes & listen to every minute. Cant wait til next week 😬

🤠💯👏🏻

A “stan” is a fan that treats going overboard like a religion; someone who engages in idol worship rather than good-natured cheering of on their favorite player (or actor or popstar, for that matter. The term comes from the Eminem song “stan”). It’s the kind of person that will defend the player even in the face of something objectively indefensible.

Somehow over the last couple years this has become my absolute favorite tennis podcast of the many I listen to. Great humor and banter combined with expertise and informed opinions. Wish it was more than 1x/week. Also wish Calvin pronounced “Nike” correctly 😂

This is definitely one of the best Tennis podcasts around. Other than the fact they are super funny (like the TopGear guys 15 or 20 years ago before they became too full of themselves), those guys understand tennis and bring an honest and blunt view of the Tennis world. Highly recommended if you had enough of the traditional Tennis media and looking for something more meaningful.

Great insights, analysis and news behind-the-scenes. Love your sense of humor too. Keep doing what you’re doing— thank you!

I really enjoy this podcast. They have a unique perspective from being LTA insiders, with some good connections to other parts of the tennis world too, so even as someone who follows the tennis news and Twitter pretty closely, I often get some unique insights and tidbits from this pod. They also are refreshingly honest (while still generally balanced) instead of just pc/pr. I don’t agree with everything they say but can see where they’re coming from and appreciate that it feels unfiltered. I agree with another review that the sound mixing could be a little better, but an hour is a good length for me and if anything a little longer now and then is fine. Especially thanks to James for reading the email inbox !

March 7th episode hosts spent a considerable amount of time bashing Serena Williams. They only played a portion of an audio clip with her response to a question a reporter asked her about zverev and his abuse and violent outbursts. Host went out of their way to attack a black woman and had nothing to say for zverev’s behavior. As a black male, this podcast and hosts are not my people and this is the first and last listen.

I am not aware of any better podcast out there that’s better than this one for hardcore tennis fans. One small suggestion is it can use some better editing and distill it to 45 minutes per episode. Also please pay attention to the technical aspects of the recordings. A few episodes have really bad sound/background noises that render them unlistenable.

The guys know their tennis. They recap the previous weeks tennis news in a fun way. Always the first podcast I listen to on Tuesdays

These guys know a good deal about tennis and are funny. They also have some interviews with people that you won’t get anywhere else. I like listening to this show for the news, observations, and banter. Worth it for tennis fans, and maybe even people who aren’t that into the sport. Keep up the good work.
