    Courtney brings the best out of WTA stars in these interviews. Amazing insight into the tour and how the players. Always a great balance of tactics, personal life, and humor! Love this podcast!

    Great podcast with Iga on winning the dirty double
    Well done! Just listened to and loved hearing the podcast with Courtney and Iga after her win in Rome. It was so interesting to their conversation about the tournament and be a fly on the wall during the taxi ride to Iga’s photoshoot with cold pizza on her lap. Iga is such a great ambassador for women’s tennis with her gratitude , humility, performance mindset, work ethic, and sense of humor. She has a champion’s mindset and does the hard work to stay at the top. You get an insider’s perspective of life of the champ following a big tournament win which was so interesting.

    The best reporter in tennis
    She asks the best questions and therefore gets the deepest and most interesting responses. I wish the pod was weekly!

    Continued excellence
    Courtney is the best in the business. I don't hear any other interviewer get the consistently honest, thoughtful answers that she does. Thank you!

    Great interviews - more please!
    I really enjoy these interviews. I wish it were weekly instead of monthly! This way you could talk to 50 players per year!
  • tnnsbaw
    Definitely Recommend!
    Valuable insights from the week’s tournament champion carried out in a nice interview style. I also enjoy the deep dive episodes that drop before big events like the majors & sunshine double.

    WTA Insider is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
    I have loved WTA tennis and loved podcasts for longer than I can remember, but it wasn’t until recently that I thought of mixing the two together. It took one search and I found Courtney and the WTA Insider pod! Courtney has great analysis on the state of the game and her interviews are always spot-on. Absolutely love the podcast and I can’t recommend it enough to the anyone that will listen, but it’s almost required listening for WTA fans! Keep up the great work!!

  • Bart Ranger
    Great job Courtney!!
    Really really enjoyed your interview with Ash Barty this morning. Good to know what her mindset is leaving tennis at such a young age and at peak performance. You guys always do an amazing job. Thanks
  • PrixFixe
    Fantastic Interviews!
    So great to have the pod back! I’ve really missed listening to Courtney talk with the players; her interviews are super relaxed, informative, professional, and conversational. You can tell the players enjoy these chats!

    Fantastic tennis podcast
    Courtney does a phenomenal job bringing us closer to the great champions of women’s tennis. Her access is unparalleled and her questions are both warmly personal and incisive. Highly recommended for tennis fans.

    Black Lives Mattershould not be allowed on the wall at your tennis match. That is Racist. Its Very Annoying. A sport is for the enjoyment of the fans. They should not have to put up with that crap.

    Flames! Best WTA pod
    New WTA fan, and this is basically required listening for any tennis fan. This pod is a great way to catch up on events you missed, which was awesome as a newer fan. Hearing from the title winners w the champions corners eps is so dope, and any other eps are also appreciated! 🙌🔥🔥🔥. Keep up the great work

    Great podcast, gaping hole in the last year
    Love this podcast! I will say however, the best episodes were those early ones where Courtney was joined by David Kane regularly. Not sure what happened but David has not been on any of the recent releases. The banter and chemistry was awesome. Bring this back!
  • Jjb1223
    Enjoyable and engaging
    Hi, Courtney. Your podcasts are all engaging, exciting, and informative. You’re engaging interview style truly brings out the personality as well as the love for the game in all the players and other participants that you interview. Much thanks to you and to WTA for a great podcast!

    Fun Slice of Fun and Facts
    Love both Katherine and David. David is like Paula and Katherine (Catherine?) is definitely Simon but together they are splendid. I love the insights, opinions and polls (also love Katherine’s enthusiasm for dogs) and David’s vigorous voice when discussing the game. As a tennis nerd I love this! Thanks for giving us a home 😀
  • SammieDragon
    Up close and personal with WTA greats
    I appreciate Courtney’s thoughtful interviews with the WTA’s top players. I always enjoy these and wish they were longer than 12 or so minutes they usually are!

    Great show!
    I love that the wta is showcasing the hosts, Courtney and David, through this show. I love getting the chance to catch up on all things wta while driving to work. This is really a great asset for the wta to connect with fans, and provide updates and interviews regarding the sport. Keep up the great work!

    Always relevant and entertaining
    WTA insider Courtney Nguyen is smart and entertaining. She does a great job of helping listeners get a better understanding of the WTA players and the game. I really enjoy hearing Courtney and her frequent guest and co-worker David Kane riff and make predictions. They have wonderful chemistry!

    Great podcast
    Really like this podcast. I am a WTA tour fan. Definitely certain players are my favs but I follow the tour as a whole too. This mean following lots of players on WTA, espeically since depth and volatility are the norms on the tour. It's good to have a podcast that can just focus on WTA players that succeeded last week. I love listening to the players themselves. You dont get that in other pods, at least not as much. My personal favorites to listen to are Kuznetsova, Pliskova, Kvitova, Petkovic, Mirza, Strycova. They have different combinations of thoughfulness, eloquence, self deprecation + self awareness, and candidness. It's worth listening to the players themselves cause otherwise we just get to see/hear filtered quotes from other sources. For me, knowing their voices and speech patterns adds another dimension to the their personalities. I love listening to the coaches too. With on-court coaching, coaches get a higher profile on WTA tour. It's good to listen to them and get a completely different picture of the tour. I liked the ones with Torben and David K but lower profile coaches like Thomas Drouet can be enlightning to listen to as well. Note that this is an "official" WTA podcast. So, sensitive, controversial matters (like Sharapova ban) either may not get handled or you may get a "party line" on them. That's fine with me cause you have lot ofother independent pods that can cover these topics in depth. Courtney is a good host and I think the addition of David Kane makes for better episodes, since you have a "conversation" rathern than a "monologue". Overall, a good idea and execution from WTA.

    Great insight
    I love the insight provided via coach interviews and and "champion's corners." And David Kane's commentary is hilarious ;)
  • anfieldassassins
    Great show
    Is this an undiscovered gem? Certainly hope not; how this show has so few reviews is crazy. That they are all five star is not. Excellent and worth subscribing.
  • Aeryna12122
    Amazing podcast
    I love everything about it, just wish it aired a little more often
  • fi_gau
    So intelligent!
    Cannot get enough of this podcast. If you love womens tennis, you will not find better commentary or analysis than this. Ive loved Courtney Nguyen for ages, this somehow made me love her more. Bravo!
  • BankyEdwards023
    Great analysis and player interviews!
    I have been a WTA fan on and off for a few years, but it wasnt until recently that I really became a diehard fan. That happened around the time this podcast started and it helped me get to know the players and the game better. I love how Courtney interviews the players in such a friendly tone, you can tell they know each other. It's because of this that the players real personalities come thru becouse they are not just giving stock answers, they are having a conversation about tennis (and other things sometimes too). That and I also love her analysis of Slams and tourneys upcoming. When she does a draw review it helps me know what story lines to be watching out for as the slam progresses. I love this podcast as a tennis fan and if you love the WTA like I do it is a must listen!!!

    Essential guide to WTA
    Hilarious, detailed analysis of the WTA. Must listen for any tennis fan.
  • Mr. Chew
    Great resource!
    I really enjoy listening to this podcast! It's great to hear from some of the legends of the sport (BJK), some of the current top players (really loved Aga's recent interview!) and some of the other players who maybe aren't as well known. As much as the tennis, I have enjoyed the personal stories as well. The interview with Andrea Petkovic at the end of 2015 was both heartbreaking and eye opening. There is so much going on in women's tennis, and this is the place to keep up with it! I only wish the podcasts were up more often. Thank you, WTA Insider!!

    Courtney Clobbers the Competition
    Love the bounty of interviews and press conference clips; it's amazing to get that kind of insight to the players. Courtney thoroughly covers all the ins and outs and delivers all the information you need to follow the WTA.

    WTA Insider Podcast Review (BeingKimmie)
    I love the WTA Insider Podcast. Listening to podcasts is relatively new for me and because of this one I am now addicted. This podcast gives tennis fans a more in-depth and unfiltered view into the women's tour overall, tournaments and individual matches, and the players and coaches through interviews. It is another platform that makes the sport more accessible for fans. In my opinion, this podcast is one of the best things the WTA did this year. All tennis fans should be regular listeners.

    WTA coverage with Dan Carlin-esque narration
    Good production value with the sound-bite interludes and Courtney's narration well captures the gravitas of it all.
  • beewsee
    Great Coverage With Personality
    If you're a fan of Women's Tennis and are looking for a podcast that brings comprehensive coverage with a little fun, this is it. Courtney does a great job and the episodes aren't overly long so they're good for listening to during the drive to and from work. Highly recommended.
