De ce renunță copiii la sport și cum crești un campion fără să-i stingi pasiunea? Horia Tecău stă de vorbă cu Radu Barbu și Lucian Nicolescu despre cum poți sprijini din interior dezvoltarea unui sportiv și despre rolul părinților în acest proces.Acesta este un episod despre sportul de performanță la copii, despre rolul antrenorilor și părinților, despre cum să îi împingi dincolo de zona de confort și când nu, de ce flacăra pasiunii trebuie ocrotită în copilărie și de ce "late bloomers" de multe ori îi depășesc pe copiii precoce.Horia Tecău este fost jucător profesionist de tenis: campion de Grand Slam la dublu (Australian Open 2011, Wimbledon 2015 și US Open 2017), medaliat olimpic cu Argint la Rio în 2016 și fost nr. 2 mondial la dublu.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 35: Roland Garros 2026 Recap & The Grass Court Swing BeginsWe're back with a Roland Garros week two recap that had us screaming, crying, and everything in between. Mirra Andreeva claimed her first Grand Slam title at 19, dropping only 17 games in the second week and accepting the trophy in a custom Nike jacket that read "I'd like to thank myself" — because she absolutely should. Meanwhile, qualifier Maja Chwalińska became only the second player in Open Era history to reach a Grand Slam final as a qualifier, jumping from ranked 114 to number 21 overnight, getting a hero's welcome at the Warsaw airport, and somehow almost running out of money for her hotel mid-tournament. Her story — which includes a very public battle with depression in 2021 and a decision to come back to tennis on her own terms — is one of the most moving in recent memory. We also send our love to Hailey Baptiste, who suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in her second round match and has been sharing her recovery journey with breathtaking honesty. On the brighter side, Karolína Siniaková and Taylor Townsend are one US Open title away from a career Grand Slam together, and their post-win press conference might be the most wholesome four minutes of the year.We then head to the grass court swing, where the palate cleanser we all desperately needed arrived in the form of Serena Williams making her competitive return after 1,375 days away. She and Vicky Mboko upset the third seeds at Queen's Club and reminded us all why tennis is worth watching. We break down Donna Vekic going from lucky loser to champion, the deeply pointed wildcard snub of defending Queen's Club champion Tatjana Maria, Alex Eala's win in Birmingham, and Robin Montgomery winning a WTA title in the Netherlands ranked 484th in the world. Resh also delivers an important journalism moment: a full breakdown of why Wimbledon grass and football grass are about as similar as clay and hard court, and why that actually matters for how the ball behaves.In our Five Minutes with the 5%, we talk about Flavio Cobolli — the charming, superstitious, emotionally open 24-year-old from Florence who nearly upset Zverev* in a five-set Roland Garros final and who we are officially rooting for. We also address the men's champion, Alexander Zverev*, with a content warning for domestic violence — including why L'Équipe made the deliberate editorial choice not to put him on their front page after his win. We close out with the ongoing prize money fight (Wimbledon just announced a 20% increase, but players say it's not enough), the rumored Serena/Venus mixed doubles pairing with Sinner and Alcaraz at the US Open, and Resh and Stef's ongoing appreciation for women coaching women across tennis, the WNBA, and the NWSL.Next episode: our Wimbledon preview and thoughts on the Rafa Nadal documentary.

Il y a un peu plus d'un an, Taylor Fritz avait été la grande sensation de la saison sur gazon. Une victoire à Stuttgart puis à Eastbourne avant son magnifique parcours à Wimbledon où il n'avait cédé qu'en demi-finale face à Carlos Alcaraz. Taylor Fritz faisait partie de ces joueurs que l'on pouvait qualifier de "3ème homme" derrière Sinner et Alcaraz. Une année s'est écoulée mais les choses ont bien changé ! L'Américain est toujours dans le top 10 (9ème au classement ATP) mais son genou grince depuis la fin de saison dernière. Fritz à pu faire le première partie de saison mais il était sur le flanc lors de la saison sur terre battue. L'Américain que le retrouve pour cette première semaine sur gazon est en demi-finale à Stuttgart ou il défiera Alexander Bublik et aujourd'hui la question est de savoir s'il sera l'un des joueurs à suivre à Wimbledon ? Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Población - 1.200  habitantes | Reclamo - la Plaza Mayor de estilo renacentista y declarada Monumento Nacional | Otras cosas típicas - el título de la muy noble y leal ciudad de Alcaraz, que ostenta desde la época de los Reyes Católicos; las dos torres de la Plaza  Mayor; las pinturas de Juan de Borgoña encontradas recientemente en la Iglesia de la Trinidad y la Romería de Nuestra Señora de Cortes, que data de 1222. 

El aviso de Toni Nadal tras la victoria de Zverev en Roland Garros: "Esta victoria le va a acercar tanto a Alcaraz como a Sinner"

Capítulo de cierre grabado el mismo domingo de la final masculina, todavía masticando lo que acabamos de ver. Felipe conduce con Martín de vuelta del periplo parisino y el regreso de Hugo Romero después de varias semanas ausente (con gorrito de Rafa para la ocasión).Alexander Zverev finalmente levanta un Grand Slam. Más de cuatro horas, cinco sets, nervios a tope de ambos lados y los recuerdos de Vietnam siempre rondando (Tien en US Open, Alcaraz en RG 2024). Analizamos el partido set por set: el 6-1 demoledor del primer set en 39 minutos, el quiebre emocional del segundo set donde Cobolli encuentra los golpes, el tercer set chicoteado con un break point salvado de 23 shots, el cuarto donde Sacha se quiebra solo con dobles faltas, y el quinto set donde el quiebre clave en el 3-0 con tres break points en contra termina sellando el título.Antes del cierre, también la final femenina del sábado. Mirra Andreeva a los 19 años cumple con las expectativas largamente acumuladas y vence a Maja Chwalinska, la polaca lucky loser que vino desde la quali sin sponsor y casi sin hotel, tapando bocas durante dos semanas. Conchita Martínez como coach detrás del juego españolizado de Andreeva, paciencia y construcción.Y el debate que se viene: ¿dónde queda Zverev en el legado del tenis? Hugo y Felipe lo ponen bajo Medvedev (ser número uno pesa). Más las evaluaciones de pronósticos previos (todos nos caímos feo en algún momento), revelaciones (los italianos Cobolli y Arnaldi, jodar a pesar de la caída, el holandés de Jong como lucky loser hasta octavos), decepciones (Tsitsipas, Shelton y Fritz), la despedida de Stan Wawrinka, el campeón junior brasileño y la mira puesta en la temporada de pasto.Síguenos en Instagram @lucklosers_podcast Twitter @LuckyLoserscast  @luckyloserstenis Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@luckyloserspodcast8246

On this Roland-Garros finals edition of Something Major, John Isner, Sam Querrey, and Steve Johnson recap a dramatic men's final as Alexander Zverev wins his first Grand Slam, regrouping after a tense fourth-set tiebreak and cruising 6-1 in the fifth to beat Cobolli. They also discuss what the title means for his legacy and Hall of Fame case. They debate whether Zverev can add more majors with Sinner and Alcaraz looming, then shift to the women's final where Andreeva wins easily in straight sets ending the Cinderella run from Chwalinska and sparking debate about Andreeva's place among the WTA elite. They also share behind-the-scenes Roland-Garros TV moments, conclude their bracket contest winners.00:00 Intro00:17 Roland Garros Recap Setup01:30 Final Match Breakdown02:37 Fourth Set Turning Point03:16 Bathroom Break Reset06:27 Pressure Off In Fifth08:32 Hall Of Fame Resume10:04 More Majors Debate12:05 Sweaty Shirt Rant14:10 Sam Gets Roasted Live15:44 Cobolli Future Outlook20:25 Was The Event Meh21:53 Andreeva Ends Cinderella Run23:12 Why Fans Loved Poland Garros25:03 Is Andreeva Top Tier Now28:01 Wimbledon Wildcard Debate29:29 Roland Garros Green Room Stories32:10 Bracket Punishments And Results35:28 Winners Prizes And Wrap Up

Katie Smith is joined by correspondent Russell Fuller and former ATP Tour winner Ryan Harrison to analyse Alex Zverev's victory in the men's singles final at Roland Garros.We hear from Zverev, and ask whether this first Grand Slam victory can help him close the gap to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. They also look at what Flavio Cobolli will have learned from this experience and reflect on a fascinating fortnight in Paris.TIMECODES 01:00 Story of the match 05:30 How does Zverev bridge the gap to Sinner and Alcaraz? 09:00 Zverev's reaction to his victory 13:45 Cobolli's performance in his first final 15:55 Final reflections on the tournament

Alexander Zverev face à Flavio Cobolli en affiche de la finale du Grand Chelem parisien. Il y a 3 semaines, tout le monde aurait rigolé ! Pourtant, cet après-midi sur le court Philippe-Chatrier, un de ces deux hommes va remporter son premier Majeur. Zverev s'avance en favori, lui qui est considéré comme le meilleur joueur de l'Histoire sans Grand Chelem et face à lui Favio Cobolli, qui n'a jamais fait mieux qu'un quart de finale en Grand Chelem. Une finale inédite et surtout insensée ! Un moment de l'histoire du tennis va se jouer et l'un de ses deux joueurs va basculer dans une autre dimension. C'est parti pour la preview de cette finale.   Dans la 2ème partie de l'émission, nous reviendrons sur le premier sacre en Grand Chelem de Mirra Andreeva. A 19 ans, la Russe à facilement dominé l'invitée surprise du tournoi parisien Maja Chwalinska. L'aboutissement d'une quinzaine durant laquelle la 8ème joueuse mondiale a enfin réussi à composer avec pression. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Maja Chwalinska face à Mirra Andreeva, c'est donc l'affiche du Grand Chelem parisien, et sans surprise on peut annoncer que c'est une affiche inédite et totalement inattendue.La Polonaise issue des qualifications va-t-elle redescendre de son nuage et sera t-elle ramenée sur terre par la Russe aujourd'hui ? C'est bien sûr la question que toute le monde se pose ? Chwalinska, c'est le retour du romantisme avec un tennis atypique que l'on adore, problème ce tennis va-t-il s'exploser face à celui de Mirra Andreeva. La prodige russe n'a que 19 ans mais on a toujours l'impression qu'elle est sur le circuit depuis 10 ans. Pour elle, c'est une première finale de Grand Chelem et la seule question que l'on se pose, c'est de savoir si elle sera trahie par ses nerfs ? On débat et on pronostique cette finale dans "Sans Filet".  Dans la suite de "Sans Filet", nous reviendrons sur la qualification pour la finale d'Alexander Zverev au dépend de Jakub Mensik, l'Allemand retrouvera Flavio Cobolli qui a bénéficié du forfait de Luciano Darderi. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

The greatest opportunity of Alexander Zverev's career meets the most exciting young player in the world. Alexander Zverev vs Jakub Mensik at Roland Garros 2026 is a French Open semi-final unlike any other — and we have the full Zverev vs Mensik prediction, preview, and tactical breakdown right here.A new Grand Slam champion is guaranteed to emerge from this draw. Sinner is out. Alcaraz is out. Djokovic is out. Zverev is the last top 10 player standing, has not dropped a single set in Paris, and is appearing in his 11th major semi-final. Mensik is 20 years old, is playing his first ever Grand Slam semi-final, and has already shown he can dig himself out of any hole this tournament. The Zverev vs Mensik Roland Garros 2026 semi-final is the match that decides who lifts the trophy on Sunday — and we break down every angle.Can Zverev finally end his Grand Slam wait and claim the title that has eluded him? Or does Mensik pull off the biggest upset of his career and reach a first ever Grand Slam final?

He was up two sets and serving for the match. Then Paris got hot.Jannik Sinner — world No. 1, on a 30-match winning streak, with Alcaraz sidelined by injury — had Roland Garros gift-wrapped for him. The one Grand Slam missing from his collection. No rival standing in the way. And he was cruising, up 6-3, 6-2, 5-1 on Court Philippe-Chatrier… until his body said no.World No. 56 Juan Manuel Cerúndolo came back from two sets down to beat the top seed 3-6, 2-6, 7-5, 6-1, 6-1 in one of the biggest upsets in Roland Garros history. The first time a men's No. 1 seed has lost before the third round here since Andre Agassi in 2000. The career Grand Slam dream? On hold again.We break down what actually happened on that court — the heat, the dizziness, the collapse from 5-1 up in the third — and ask the harder question: is this a brutal bad day, or does Sinner have a Paris problem?Want me to tweak the tone, punch up the opening hook, or adjust the length?

Pour cette quatrième carte postale en direct de Roland-Garros, Eric Salliot et Sarah Pitkowski reviennent sur la victoire en quatre manches de Novak Djokovic face au Français Valentin Royer. 3h44 de jeu pour Nole qui n'a pas aimé la chaleur étourdissante Porte d'Auteuil. Le plus grand vainqueur de Grand Chelem s'en est plaint en conférence de presse après match. Court N°1 revient également sur la qualification de Quentin Halys sans oublier le deuxième tour aujourd'hui avec Moise Kouamé et Arthur Rinderknech. C'est parti pour la quatrième carte postale de Court N°1.

Edición en caliente de Lucky Losers porque no se podía dejar pasar. Jannik Sinner viene de 30 partidos ganados al hilo, tres Masters 1000 de arcilla seguidos (Monte Carlo, Madrid y Roma), Alcaraz fuera del torneo, y todo apuntaba a su primer Roland Garros. Iba 2 sets a 0, 5-1 en el tercero y sacando para el partido. Y se cayó.Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, el mismísimo "Cerúndolo zurdo" que el equipo lleva años llamando con cariño "el malo", aprovechó los calambres y los problemas de Sinner con el calor parisino para llevarse el partido 3-6 2-6 7-5 6-1 6-1 y mandar al número uno del mundo a la casa en segunda ronda.Por primera vez desde el US Open 2023, un Grand Slam masculino no lo va a ganar ni Sinner ni Alcaraz. Se abre el cuadro, Djokovic huele el 25, y nuestros pronósticos de la previa se van todos al tacho. Conversamos sobre cómo se reordena Roland Garros con esta bomba.Síguenos en Instagram @lucklosers_podcast Twitter @LuckyLoserscast  @luckyloserstenis Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@luckyloserspodcast8246

C'est un constat alarmant. Alors qu'ils devaient prendre le pouvoir et faire oublier le Big 3, les nouveaux phénomènes du circuit ATP passent autant de temps à l'infirmerie que sur les courts. Carlos Alcaraz et son bras, Jack Draper et son genou, Holger Rune et son tendon d'Achille, et désormais Arthur Fils qui enchaîne un terrible 6/6 en forfaits ou abandons majeurs... Pourquoi les jeunes cracks craquent-ils tous physiquement et mentalement ?Dans ce dossier grand format de Sans Filet, on mène l'enquête sur les défaillances d'une génération dorée mais si fragile. Leurs squelettes de 20 ans sont-ils tout simplement incapables d'encaisser ce tennis moderne ? Entre des Masters 1000 rallongés sur deux semaines qui usent les organismes et la multiplication des exhibitions lucratives durant l'intersaison, les instances du tennis sont-elles en train de sacrifier la santé des joueurs sur l'autel du profit ? Sommes-nous face à une génération de cristal condamnée à des carrières courtes ?Vous retrouverez également dans cette émission les premiers tops et flops de la quinzaine parisienne sans oublier les pronostics. Au menu notamment, Humbert vs Mannarino ou encore Gaston vs Monfils. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

The Tennis Tragic #072 / The King of Balls / David and Matte finally reconvene to discuss Marco Trungelliti's triumphant rise to glory (and fall to Jodar).  Roger draws a three-card Tennis Tarot spread.  Who is the real King of Balls?  Which Rising Star will arrive too soon?  And in a world where the Upset Game exists, will The Upset be the defining characteristic of the 2026 Roland Garros narrative?  We discuss Sinner's blessings, Alcaraz's curse, and Goffin's farewell, as well as progress on Tragic Tennis, and the Knicks juggernaut on the doorstep of glory.

Pas de temps de s'échauffer, les "Grandes Gueules du Sport" démarrent fort dès 9h30 : la UNE c'est l'actu brûlante du sport, entre infos, analyses et débats.

Domingo 24 de mayo, 6 de la mañana, mentalidad de tiburón. Arranca Roland Garros 2026 y volvemos a la tradición más sagrada de Lucky Losers: la previa llave por llave del Grand Slam, esta vez con el equipo completo. Felipe Duarte en la conducción, regresa el CEO Raimundo Lira al estudio, y nos acompaña Martín Letelier que en unas horas se sube al avión rumbo a París como nuestro corresponsal en cancha en su primer Grand Slam.Revisamos las cuatro secciones del cuadro masculino: Sinner sin rivales reales a la vista (¿quién le saca un set?), la sección de los chilenos con Tabilo vs Majchrzak y Vacherot al fondo, Garín vs Learner Tien (que viene de ganar Ginebra), la sección caliente de Djokovic con el primer round contra Mpetshi Perricard (y el rant de Raimundo sobre la "conspiración" del horario), y la sección de Zverev donde Felipe se la juega fuerte con Cobolli llegando a la final.Más: las notas de Caterina para el cuadro femenino con los 10 partidos imprescindibles de primera ronda, la despedida emotiva de Monfils, el primer título ATP de Ignacio Busse en Hamburgo, y los pronósticos al cierre.

Old school Tennis and Bagels is BACK with the brains of the podcast: Vansh Vermani, the living tennis encyclopedia brings all his in-depth analysis and knowledge of players' form, injury, court conditions, past results, and more.We are doing a full draw preview, going section by section of both the Roland Garros men's and women's draws and finally making our picks for semi-finalists, finalists, and champions of the 2026 French Open!On the WTA side, great popcorn matches all around, with some really strong potential for upsets that could turn the draw upside down. But also trust in the seeded players, to find solutions, make it deep in the draw, and conquer their nemeses. Will Aryna Sabalenka win her first major of 2026? Will Coco Gauff defend her title with her grit through highs and lows? Can Elena Rybakina complete the Surface Slam? Is it the time that Iga Swiatek will finally overcome the Ostapenko mission impossible? Or is it someone else's time to win big in Paris?On the ATP, the Jannik Sinner question remains unanswered: who can stop him at all? Seemingly unbeatable, it feels like acts of God are his only great challenge left without Alcaraz in the draw and an aging Novak Djokovic. If injury, terrible weather conditions with a brutally hot sun, and/or a miraculous performance by some anointed player doesn't stop him, it feels like nothing will. Though Djokovic already operated miracles during his career, including the Australian Open earlier this year, and Medvedev coming back from getting double-bageled by Berrettini in Monte Carlo to take a set off Sinner in Rome does sound like a godly act, too.Who will prevail on the red clay?Favourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

We discuss the paper, and how the discourse around brain health of retired contact sport athletes has created anxiety and fear to the detriment of the athletesThe Women's Six Nations concluded, England winning it again with victory over France. We discuss the tournament, with Ross raising concerns about one-sided contests through, and the total stratification of teams, while Gareth is more optimistic about some statistical trends that suggest progress, at least on the part of some teamsOn the subject of women's rugby, the trials for a smaller ball have received more criticism from international players. Ross explains how the process is run, why nobody is being ambushed, and how the smaller ball has been explored for six years and counting to get to this pointJanik Sinner won another Masters tournament last week, breaking the record for most wins (now at six tournaments, and 34 matches, with only three lost sets). Gareth wonders what can possibly deny the Italian a French Open and Wimbledon, now that Alcaraz is missing both those Slams? Ross reckons maybe muscle cramps can defeat him...A listener, Andrew, asked an intriguing, and unanswerable question in our Supporter community - which sport would it be best to be elite at?

El Arsenal es campeón de la Premier League 22 años después gracias al pinchazo del City de Pep, el futuro de Julián Álvarez, la lesión que deja a Alcaraz sin Wimbledon, hablamos con Alberto Moleiro y repasamos la Segunda División con entrevista a Juan Bernat.

Charlamos con Álex Corretja sobre la lesión de Carlos Alcaraz que, como ha confirmado el tenista este mismo martes, le obliga a perderse la gira de hierba. Además, Juan Bernat nos cuenta cómo es compartir equipo con Mbappé, Neymar y Messi desde su aventura en el Eibar. 

Since Alcaraz announced he'd miss the remainder of the clay season, it was obvious: Jannik Sinner would be utterly unchallenged to win Madrid, Rome, and Roland Garros.It has gone pretty much as expected from him. Only surprise was losing a set to Medvedev. Other than that, it almost seems disingenuous to say there's any doubt Sinner will sweep the Clay Slam, just like Rafael Nadal did in 2010, the only player to do so.As we close the Masters events on clay, there are some interesting stories still to follow, including Casper Ruud, Daniil Medvedev, Novak Djokovic, and Rafael Jodar. But these will all be left as side quests to Sinner's iron fist domination over the ATP Tour.It seems only a miracle will stop him - and that has now extended itself until Wimbledon, now that Alcaraz has shocked the world one more time by announcing his withdrawal.Favourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Après Paris, il n'y aura donc pas de Carlos Alcaraz à Wimbledon ! L'Espagnol a annoncé son forfait pour la saison sur gazon, le numéro 2 mondial n'est pas suffisamment remis de sa blessure au poignet droit. Vainqueurs de 2 des 3 derniers tournois du Queen's et de Wimbledon 2023 et 2024, c'est un nouveau coup dur pour Carlos Alcaraz, les organisateurs et les spectateurs. Jannik Sinner va-t-il continuer à régner seul ? le circuit ATP va-t-il devenir ennuyeux ? Mais la question principale est sans doute de savoir si Alcaraz, vainqueur de l'Open d'Australie, reviendra à temps pour l'US Open ou s'il se dirige vers une fin de saison blanche ?    Dans cette émission, nous reviendrons aussi les tournois de Hambourg, Strasbourg ainsi que les qualifications qui se poursuivent à Paris. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Send us a video on our socials or email us at askandy@servedmediagroup.com Andy Roddick sits down with legend Fabio Fognini for a deep dive into life after the tour. They pull back the curtain on the "Fabio" persona—transitioning from on-court fiery meltdowns to an easygoing retirement filled with golf and a stint on Italy's Dancing with the Stars. Roddick explores Fognini's unique perspective on his legendary career, including the tactical secrets behind his three clay-court victories over Rafael Nadal and his reflection on the near-upset of Carlos Alcaraz during his last match. They also discuss the explosive growth of Italian tennis led by World No. 1 Jannik Sinner and why the current era has eclipsed soccer as the nation's sporting obsession. 

Mike and Sam are back, and many people are now saying these two knuckleheads are culturally more important to tennis than The Woodies and Rod Laver combined. Not me though, I would never say that. They talk Madrid, Sinner's dominance and the appropriateness of Marta Kostyuk's celebratory backflip. There's also wild Alcaraz wrist injury speculation, blatant ethnic stereotyping, and a May the Fourth-themed guessing game that will leave the whole family horrified.All jokes aside, it's actually pretty funny.

Catherine, David and Matt catch up on all things Madrid - a tournament which has been hit by a bout of apparent food poisoning, but with plenty of interesting plot lines still developing. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 32:38). We cover Post Puke Gauff's gutsy victory over Sorana Cirstea, Elena Rybakina coming through a couple of testing three setters, and a nice run for Hailey Baptiste. Plus, David fills us in on the return to form of Caty McNally and we make some predictions for the week ahead. Part two - ATP (32:39 - 1:05:44) Rafael Jodar's win over Joao Fonseca was the standout moment of the tournament so far. How did Jodar win it? What happened to Fonseca in the decider? And did their match prove how good they are or reveal some potential weaknesses? There's also chat about Lorenzo Musetti beginning to rediscover his confidence, some wild Terence Atmane scenes, and debate about who might come through the bottom half to (probably) face Jannik Sinner in the final. Part three - News (1:05:45 - 1:21:51). We get some ⁠extra information from the ITIA⁠ about Marketa Vondrousova's case and we react to the news that Portia Archer has left her role as WTA CEO.
