What are your favorites (and if you have some in other languages please post, especially French, Spanish, Italian or German)? I will start with podcasts and continue with other media, sites, videos etc below. I'd like to see where you all get info and analysis on tennis besides the forum.

PODCASTS:

I listen most to The Tennis Podcast from the Telegraph with Law and Whitaker but I'll list the others in case anyone is interested (some of these are quite infrequent so it's not a heavy load. Some are not great but I take what I can get with tennis):

The Tennis Podcast (Law and Whitaker)
The ATP podcast
Tennis Legends (Eurosport with McEnroe, Becker and Wilander)
Beyond the Baseline (Wertheim)
The Racquet (Rennae Stubbs)
Tennis Now
The First Serve (from Australia)
The Mini-Break
No Challenges Remaining (Rothenberg)
Under Review with Craig Shapiro
The Tennis Addict
The Tennis Abstract (Carl Bialik & Jeff Sackmann)
The Main Draw
The Body Serve
Thirty Love (Carl Bialik)
KickServeRadio
Great Shot Podcast
Tennis Magazin Podcast (in German)
Aufschlag Becker (Boris and in German)
L'Angolo di Flavia (Pennetta for Eurosport and in Italian)
La Casa del Tenis (in Spanish)
Talk Tennis (Tennis Warehouse)
Tennis Circus (in Italian)
Tennis with an Accent
Off Court Noise
Game Set and Match (New Zealand)
ToroLupo (Italy)


WEBSITES/MAGAZINES:

The ATP site
Marca (in Spanish)
Punto de Break (in Spanish)
L'Equipe (in French)
Tennis.com
SI.com
Espn.com
Tennis Abstract
Tennis Now
Ubitennis (in Italian)
We Love Tennis (French)
Tennis Magazin (German)

I look at other sites and at things like the NYT, Le Monde, El Pais, Repubblica, BBC or the Guardian for tennis now and then but I can't say much of the generalist tennis coverage rises above passable (Rafael Plaza for El Espanol is unusually good especially when it comes to Nadal).

VIDEO/YOUTUBE/TV:

I haven't found much of note beyond what I see from Eurosport or the Tennis Channel (some people seem to like Gil Gross on YouTube). I think Italy's SuperTennis is the only other dedicated tennis broadcaster on TV but I'd love to hear I am incorrect.

Does anyone know of any dedicated tennis shows which cover tennis on a regular basis or even generalist shows which pay special attention to tennis and which might be available online from any country?


FORUMS:

Besides TT, where else do you go? MTF? Reddit Tennis? El Foro del Tenis (Spanish)? Tennis Defenders (French)? Somewhere else I left out?

It would be great to make this a sticky and add to it given how poorly served (pun intended) tennis is in the media.

Thanks!!

Wertheim has interesting guests, but he's very biased and not really knowledgable as a tennis reporter.

I wasn't saying all those are great podcasts (in fact I explicitly said the opposite actually) but there's very little tennis audio-visual media so I basically list them all.

I agree about Wertheim (and I REALLY dislike Rothenberg and Nguyen who are clueless gossip mongers as well as terrible orators) but for podcasts and videos, I think it's better to list all of them because there aren't many and some people might find them useful.
