The writer also discusses Belinda Bencic and Ann Li's recent tournament wins, with the latter being another American woman to have success in 2025. Jacot also reacts to the news that Saudi Arabia will host a new Masters event in the years ahead, and ponders how the schedule could be adjusted going forward. The jouralist also shares some early thoughts on the WTA Finals and the ATP Paris Masters, where Valentin Vacherot continues to impress and Grigor Dimitrov made a triumphant and winning return to the court.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the two ATP 500 tournaments that took place this past week in Vienna and Basel. The Swiss Indoors in Basel featured a wild draw, with the top seeds exiting early and opening the door for an underdog champion. The player that rose to the occasion was Joao Fonseca, the rising Brazilian star who seems poised to take his position at the next level of the game. In Vienna, the tournament proceeded much more according to plan, as the top 4 seeds all made the semis and the final featured Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev. In the end, the two champions seemed to be a model of what the future may look like with these two young players.

Die topgekeurde Jannik Sinner het sy vierde titel van die seisoen en sy 22ste loopbaan-kroon gebuit toe hy die Weense Ope in Oostenryk gewen het. Die Italianer was een stel agter, maar het ingehaal en die Duitser, Alexander Zverev, geklop. Die 24-jarige Sinner is die eerste man wat agt ATP-eindwedstryde in agtereenvolgende seisoene haal sedert die Serwiër, Novak Djokovic, dit in 2015-2016 reggekry het. Sinner sê dis wonderlik om nog ʼn titel te wen:

Wann muss der Apostroph nun wirklich gesetzt werden? Wo ist die ganze Etikette in der Politik hin? Und: Welchen Kapitalfehler begeht Alexander Zverev gerade in der Hundeerziehung? Der Dog Whisperer und Anchorman Markus Gaupp (Sky) stellt Regeln auf, die der Producer Jens Huiber gekonnt ignoriert.

Tennisprofi Daniel "Wally" Masur weilt beim Challengerturnier in Hamburg.

Ein Blick wird zudem auf Wuhan-Siegerin Coco Gauff und ihre Weiterentwicklung geworfen. Außerdem verknüpft das Duo mit einem kritischen Blick das "6 King Slams"-Sportwashing-Event in Saudi-Arabien mit der Kritik am Turnierkalender und den Problemen von Alexander Zverev.

Eine neue Folge Cross Court zu aktuellen Tour-Brennpunkten, aber auch mit zwei frischen Interviews. SPORT1-Redakteurin Sophie Affeldt und SPORT1-Tennis-Experte Stefan Schnürle widmen sich dabei zunächst dem nächsten Rückschlag für Alexander Zverev und diskutieren, was jetzt noch helfen kann. Für großes Aufsehen in der Tennis-Welt sorgt die Kritik von Zverev und Roger Federer an der Einheitlichkeit der Courts und der möglichen Bevorzugung von Carlos Alcaraz und Jannik Sinner. Sophie und Stefan gehen - unterstützt von Zahlen - beiden Thesen nach. Dann rücken die deutschen Damen und dabei vor allem Eva Lys in den Vordergrund. Diese steht erstmals unter den Top 50 der Welt - was gibt den Ausschlag für den Aufschwung und ist sie nun endgültig auf dem Weg in die Weltspitze? Es folgt das Gespräch mit Ex-Davis-Cup-Spieler Cedrik-Marcel Stebe. Dieser stand einst auf Rang 71, doch zahlreiche Verletzungen bremsten ihn aus. Stebe spricht unter anderem über Rückschläge, aber auch verbliebene Ziele, die Zeit nach der Karriere, sowie Alcaraz, Sinner und Zverev. Beim Blick auf die Entwicklung des Tennis bringt Stebe zudem einige große Änderungen ins Spiel, über die Sophie und Stefan anschließend diskutieren. Die von Stebe aufgebrachte Hörerfrage der Woche dreht sich diesmal um Alcaraz und Sinner. Dann wartet das Interview mit DTB-Juwel Diego Dedura. Der 17-Jährige gibt ein Update, wie seine Entwicklung verläuft, sein Training in der Rafa Nadal Academy und seinen Umgang mit Social Media. Sophie und Stefan sprechen danach über sein Spiel und woran er noch arbeiten muss. Der Podcast wird vermarktet durch die Ad Alliance.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the opening rounds of the Shanghai Masters 1000 event that is going on this week. With Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing from the tournament before it started, Jannik Sinner seemed to have an easy walk to the title. However, struggling with the conditions, the top seed was forced to retire, leaving a wide open draw. Other top players like Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz have also fallen, perhaps creating a chance for Novak Djokovic to pull off a cinderella run at 38 years old to take this Masters 1000 title. But other young talents are waiting in the wings, hoping for a chance to seize a masters 1000 title.Contents: Intro 0:00Sinner Injury Discussion 1:50Seeded Players Dropping 4:27Headline Results 5:45Zverev Comments/Backlash 10:35Upcoming Matches 15:37What's New 20:20Bet of the Week 26:37Match of the Week 29:50

Catherine, David and Matt are finally back together on a Monday to talk all about Amanda Anisimova's title in Beijing and events so far in Shanghai. Part one - WTA Beijing. We discuss Anisimova's final three matches in Beijing en route to the title, analysing how she's become such a consistent force at the top of the sport. How helpful could this title be in turning her into a major champion? And what's left to improve? There's also chat about Linda Noskova's extraordinary semi-final win over Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff's struggle for form, and Emma Navarro winning a final set bagel against Iga Swiatek. Part two - ATP Shanghai (38m16s). The heat and humidity have been the main talking points in Shanghai so far and we focus on the large number of retirements, headlined by Jannik Sinner's against Tallon Griekspoor. There's also chat about what a chance this is for Novak Djokovic to win another big title, the other possible contenders for the title, and Alexander Zverev's controversial comments about court speed on tour. Part three - WTA Wuhan Preview and News (64m55s). We look forward to Aryna Sabalenka's return in Wuhan, there's a moving statement from Daria Kasatkina as she shuts down her season, and we celebrate Mary Carillo's Hall of Fame nomination.

Dans le monde du tennis, les exhibitions comme la Laver Cup ou le Six Kings Slam occupent une place singulière : ni tout à fait compétition, ni simple divertissement. Leur véritable rôle interroge : doit-on les considérer comme un simple spectacle, un moyen de préparation, ou un vecteur d'image et d'influence pour le tennis ? Ont-elles une place utile et complémentaire au circuit officiel ?  Dans la 2e partie de l'émission tops et flops sans oublier une partie pronostics sur le début de la tournée asiatique.

Alexander Zverev spricht in einer bewegenden Pressekonferenz über seine mentale Krise. Obwohl er nach außen alles hat – Erfolg, Geld, Familie – beschreibt er, dass er sich leer und freudlos fühlt.

Nach den US Open müssen wir erstmal eine durchziehen und ganz entspannt so einige Dinge rekapitulieren: von prügelnden Senioren in Friesland über Davis Cup Ambitionen (nicht) von Alexander Zverev bis hin zu Sista Sabalenka. Viel Spaß!

Part one - Day session. We cover Jannik Sinner's slightly sub par performance against Denis Shapovalov, get excited about Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka setting up a fourth round clash, and discuss Lorenzo Musetti, Karolina Muchova and Andrey Rublev all reaching the second week. Part two - Night session (35:24). We react to Iga Swiatek somehow winning in straight sets against Anna Kalinskaya, a quite brilliant performance from Felix Auger-Aliassime to beat Alexander Zverev, and Amanda Anisimova putting together her best ever US Open run.

Coco Gauff beat Magdelena Frech 6-2, 6-3 in the first match on Arthur Ashe. The third seed, who said she “felt a lot lighter going on court”, put up some good numbers against Frech. Stat sheet made for nice reading for the 2023 champion, too. Was nearly perfect at the net 10/11, won 71% of points on first serve and only hit four double faults (one in the first and three in the second). Naomi Osaka handled (15)Daria Kasatkina in three sets – 6-0, 4-6, 6-2 on Louis Armstrong. The two-time champ was near flawless in the first set, had a wobble in the second after Kasatkina raised her level, but locked back in during the third set to close out the match and book her place in the second week. The Japanese shared her thoughts on facing Gauff. Felix Auger-Aliassime took down third seed Alexander Zverev in four sets – 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 – in a performance that took us back to the days when FAA was a top 10 player. The Canadian was teeing off from the forehand wing and was evidently loving the conditions in New York, which he alluded to during his post-match presser. Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are going strong in doubles, they beat Ulrikke Eikeri and Eri Hozumi 7-6(1), 6-1. So are top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova, who beat Alycia Parks and Dayana Yastremska 6-3, 6-3 on a packed Court 12. Credits: US Open Tennis Championships.

Nouvelle déception pour Alexander Zverev en Majeur. Pour la première fois depuis 7 ans, il enchaîne deux tournois du Grand Chelem sans atteindre la 2e semaine. Sorti d'entrée à Wimbledon, il a été battu hier au 3e tour de l'US Open par Félix Auger-Aliassime. Son rêve de titre du Grand Chelem s'éloigne encore un peu plus... Cette nouvelle désillusion peut être un tournant dans sa carrière, dans cette quête du graal ? Analyse dans cette émission. Dans la 2e partie de l'émission tops et flops de la nuit sans oublier les pronostics. Au menu notamment, Mannarino vs Lehecka, Rinderknech vs Alcaraz, Machac vs Fritz ou encore Djokovic vs Struff.

In a match that had three sets written all over it coming in, Naomi Osaka beat Hailey Baptiste in straights – 6-3, 6-1. The American made a nervy start and was unable to force her way into the match as a result of Osaka's level which was ultimately too good. We asked about her tactics. Gabriel Diallo lost out in three close sets to Jaume Munar. The Canadian 31st seed was unable to take control like he has done in previous meetings against the Spaniard. Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Roman Safiullin 6-1, 7-6, 7-6. FAA seems to be finding his confidence in New York. His next opponent is third seed Alexander Zverev. The head-to-head is one-sided in Zverev's favour, but the Canadian has beaten the German in their only meeting at a Grand Slam. Our last match of the day was Coco Gauff versus Donna Vekic on Arthur Ashe. Many expected a three-setter but the American third seed got things done in straights. She was emotional both during the match and during the on-court interview, but was incredible in her post-match presser. To finish, we talk doubles where Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez got their campaign off to a winning start, as did top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova.

Jannik Sinner is the No. 1 seed and defending champion, 2022 champion Carlos Alcaraz is opposite the draw coming off a Cincinnati title, Alexander Zverev has shown signs of resurfacing the form of his Australian Open runner-up earlier this year and Taylor Fritz defends his first career major final off the back of a strong run of results.

Catherine, David and Matt are together at Flushing Meadows to dissect the US Open draws and analyse what's been said on media day. Part one - Women's draw. We cover why we think this draw is good news for Iga Swiatek, the potential for Elena Rybakina to be a problem for Aryna Sabalenka, and why Victoria Mboko could come through a wide open section. There's also chat about Coco Gauff hiring bio mechanist Gavin MacMillan to help her serve and David explains why he's feeling bullish about Naomi Osaka's chances. Part two - Men's draw (38:16). The big question from the men's draw is whether anyone can stop Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. We analyse their draws and consider the paths of Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev. Part three - Qualifying (1:06:16). We talk about Dino Prizmic and Fran Jones making their way through qualifying and into the main draw.
