Rennae and our cultural attaché Andrea Petkovic are in Melbourne and bringing us daily dispatches from the AO—starting with the baffling result from the Alex Zverev/Carlos Alcaraz match and what happens when you have all the talent in the world but no gameplan! Hint: for Alcaraz against Zverev, it's an inside-in forehand à la Ana Ivanovic. Breaking down the Daniil Medvedev comeback against Hubi Hurkacz—and taking the odds that he'll be extra motivated by his (completely inaccurate) portrayal as a villain in Netflix's Break Point. Plus: Is Dayana Yastremska about to pull an Emma Raducanu? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

La polaca, número 1 mundial, le cortó el camino a la brasileña Beatriz Haddad Maia (14) a la que se impuso en dos sets 6/2, 7/6 (9/7) en las semifinales del Abierto de París. La brasileña firma, sin embargo, una buena quincena en el Abierto de París, donde hizo historia al ser la primera tenista de Brasil en alcanzar una semifinal de Grand Slam desde Maria Bueno en el US Open hace 55 años. Swiatek busca su tercer Roland Garros ante la checa Karolina Muchova (43) que se impuso sorpresivamente a la número 2 mundial, la bielorrusa Aryna Sabalenka (7/6, 6/7, 7/5).Si alguien le dio la batalla en esta edición a la número 1 mundial, fue la brasileña en estas semifinales, la primera en el torneo que consiguió ganarle seis juegos, en la segunda manda, pero no fue suficiente para que Beatriz Haddad Maia siguiera haciendo historia en las canchas parisinas.La brasileña había impresionado en sus precedentes partidos al ganar los tres últimos, tras remontar un set abajo. Esta vez, la zurda casi lo consigue ya que después de haber perdido el primer set, le rompió el servicio a la contrincante en el segundo, pero no supo aprovechar la ventaja, desperdició tres pelotas de break y Swiatek retomó lo que era suyo para finalmente resolver la segunda manga en un vibrante tie break (9/7)Haddad Maia se va, sin embargo, con la cabeza bien alta al ser la primera brasileña que consigue llegar a estas instancias desde 1968.Swiatek vuelve pues a estar en la final por segundo año consecutivo, la última vez que una tenista lo consiguió fue la rumana Simona Halep (2017, 2018), además, a sus 22 años es la tenista más joven en jugar dos veces seguidas la final en Paris desde Ana Ivanovic (2007, 2008).Sabalenka, eliminada por la número 43 mundial Contra todo pronóstico, la bielorrusa, Aryna Sabalenka, se inclinó en tres sets ante la checa Karolina Muchova (43) 7/6, 6/7, 7/5. La campeona del Open de Australia sembró muchas dudas durante el partido ante la raqueta número 43 mundial. Ambas jugaban su primera semifinal en Roland Garros y Sabalenka era, sin duda, la favorita.El inicio del partido fue bastante monótono e insípido, ninguna de las dos jugadoras desplegó un gran tenis. La emoción, sin embargo, llegó con un break de la checa que se puso en 5 -4 y sirviendo. Tras desperdiciar una bola de set, la bielorrusa, Aryna Sabalenka, recuperó el servicio igualando la primera manga que finalmente se resolvió en tie break para Muchova que presentaba así unas credenciales y la promesa de que esto no iba a ser fácil para Sabalenka.  El segundo set fue Muchova la que fue sorprendida por la bielorrusa que le rompió el servicio, para adelantarse 4 a 3, pero duró bien poco, porque enseguida la checa la igualó.  En el décimo juego para el 5-5, la bielorrusa se marcó dos aces dando una muestra de que ese set iba a ser para ella, buscó los ángulos y finalmente se lo llevó en el tie break.  Se relanzaba así el partido, con un tercer set en el que la bielorrusa, por fin, empezaba a mostrar que, aunque el público lo estuviera dudando, está 41 puestos por encima de la checa en la clasificación mundial. No fue suficiente ante la tenacidad de Muchova que opuso una defensa casi sin grietas. Las dos jugadoras jugaban por primera vez una semifinal de Roland Garros y finalmente fue Muchova quien se impuso ante una decepcionante número 2. Muchova se convierte en la quinta checa en alcanzar una final en Roland Garros.El esperado duelo entre Djokovic y AlcarazEste viernes será el turno del cuadro masculino. ¿Quién jugará la final de Roland Garros 2023? El primer duelo ya lo interpretan muchos como la final anticipada, entre el número 1 mundial, Carlos Alcaraz, y la tercera mejor raqueta del planeta, el serbio Novak Djokovic. La nueva generación frente a uno de los supervivientes del tridente Djokovic, Federer, Nadal.Djokovic, campeón en la tierra batida parisina en 2016 y 2021, busca en esta edición su tercera Copa de los Mosqueteros y su victoria número 23 en un Gran Slam, para superar las 22 de Rafael Nadal. ¿Se convertirá Alcaraz en su nueva pesadilla en la tierra batida? El otro finalista saldrá del duelo entre el noruego Casper Ruud (4) y el alemán Alexander Zverev (22).

Karl Budge doesn't purport to be much of a sailor, but he is one of this country's leading event organisers having previously turned the ASB Classic into one of the world's best tennis tournaments. He consistently attracted some of the world's top tennis players to this country and now he's looking to sprinkle his magic dust on the New Zealand leg of SailGP. Karl talks about why he got involved in SailGP and what his vision is for the New Zealand legs that will be held in alternating years between Christchurch and Auckland. He also talks about what the fan experience is like at SailGP events around the world. Talk inevitably turned to tennis and what tricks he used to lure players like Serena and Venus Williams, Ana Ivanovic and Maria Sharapova to these shores. He also talks about the time he gave Serena a piece of his mind after a less than inspiring performance. But she still came back the following year. Karl delves into his background that saw him leave school at 16 only to find himself working at the WTA and Manchester United, but also turn down job opportunities with Formula 1, Manchester City and the NFL. This is a slightly different episode of Broad Reach Radio, but a good way to mark the 50th podcast.

Mit Judith spricht sie außerdem über die Rolle der Frau im Leistungssport, was sie gerne Kindern, schon im frühen Alter mit auf den Weg geben will und was Agent 007 mit ihrem Plan B zu tun hatte, falls es mit der Tenniskariere nicht geklappt hätte.

This journal entry brings you former Marine Commando, Howard Green. Howard left the marines and ventured into the world of strength and conditioning. Shortly after, he was attracted by the chaotic nature of tennis. Over the last 11 years he has built a brilliant reputation in the tennis world and now leads the fitness programme at Bolton Arena, England. Having spent some time as the fitness coach to Ana Ivanovic, he has taken stock and focused his efforts on developing the physical attributes of young emerging tennis players. He has created a fantastic programme called Tennis Supermovers which breaks down the fundamental movements required to build great physical foundations. This is now available for anyone. See the link below. https://www.tennissupermovers.com Howard and his friends have also just completed an incredible challenge for their friend who has tragically been diagnosed with MND. They climbed the 3 peeks in Yorkshire, England in 12 hours, carrying their friend on a stretcher. They are raising funds for MND and I have copied the link below. https://gofund.me/b679eef2 I could have spoken to Howard for hours on end about his time as a Marine and the transferable learning into the world of tennis. He makes so many great points about developing players. Pass it on to your tennis friends. Intro/outro music by http://www.hueandcry.co.uk Artwork by http://www.olinightingale.com

Howard’s journey from the Royal Marines, to being in the box at Wimbledon during his time working with the likes of Naomi Broady and Ana Ivanovic carries with it some fascinating life lessons about work ethic, humility and self-reflection as we discussed: Holding his athletes accountable to high expectations whilst not being cognisant of not wearing his green beret for everyone His model for co-ordination training, and eliminating the ‘fuzziness’ and monkey see monkey do attitude towards co-ordination activities Bringing tennis and S&C coaches onto the same page with his supermovers program   Resources Mentioned in the Podcast Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi Atomic Habits by James Clear The Secret by Rhonda Byrne https://www.tennissupermovers.com/SuperMovers-at-Home Howard Green’s RB-RADIO Model of Co-ordination You can each out to Howard via Instagram @HGreenTennisFit If you feel you are in a position to support the Platform to Perform Podcast, or simply want lifetime access to my exclusive content, including all 30 Calisthenics Kidz lessons, S&C programs, Locked and Loaded Mobility program, educational content and more check out the link below https://www.patreon.com/ToddDavidsonp2pCoaching?fan_landing=true Got a question for me?

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit einem Blick auf 10 der größten Grand-Slam-Sensationen der vergangenen drei Jahrzehnte. Andreas und Philipp schauen auf jedes der Matches zurück, ordnen die Bedeutung ein und kramen in ihren eigenen Erinnerungen. Stakhovskys Warhol-Moment Den Anfang macht ein Match aus dem Jahr 2013, als Sergey Stakhovsky in Wimbledon gegen Roger Federer gewann. Federer war damals nicht in herausragender Form, trotzdem kam der Sieg Stakhovskys in der zweiten Runde mehr als überraschend. Auch die Niederlage von Ana Ivanovic bei den US Open 2008 gegen die französische Qualifikantin Julie Coin war eine Sensation. Ivanovic war damals Nummer 1 in der Welt während Coin auf Platz 188 im Ranking stand und auf diesem Level keine Erfahrung hatte. Die zwei "deutschen" Sensationen Eine Niederlage, an die sich die Fans von Boris Becker wohl noch erinnern können, ist jene gegen Peter Doohan in Wimbledon im Jahr 1987. Becker war zweifacher Titelverteidiger, Doohan ein ehemaliger College-Spieler. Trotzdem gewann der Australier in vier Sätzen. Steffi Graf verlor 1994 in zwei Sätzen zum Wimbledon-Auftakt gegen Lori McNeil. In zehn Jahren hatte Graf nicht so früh in einem Grand-Slam-Turnier verloren. Aber hier hatte sie dem Serve & Volley Tennis von McNeil nicht genug entgegen zu setzen. Ein Match, an das sich wohl alle erinnern können, ist die Niederlage von Rafael Nadal gegen Robin Söderling bei den French Open. Eine der größten Sensationen der Tennisgeschichte. Henins unvorstellbare Niederlage Auch Justine Henin war in Strecken ihrer Karriere absolut dominant, so auch im Jahr 2007. Trotzdem verlor sie als haushohe Favoritin im Wimbledon Halbfinale gegen Marion Bartoli. Pete Sampras war am Ende seiner Karriere, als in der zweiten Runde von Wimbledon gegen den Schweizer Qualifikanten George Bastl verlor. Selbiges kann nicht über Serena Williams gesagt werden, die im Jahr 2015 sogar fast den Grand Slam gewonnen hätte. Dann wurde sie im Halbfinale der US Open von Roberta Vinci gestoppt. Gleich zwei überraschende Niederlagen in der ersten Runde gab es bei den French Open 1990. Damals verloren sowohl Boris Becker als aus Stefan Edberg innerhalb von Stunden. Eine ganz junge Jennifer Capriati gewann 1991 gegen die neunfache Wimbledon-Siegerin Martina Navratilova. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?

Will Herbert is currently Kyle Edmund’s physio and has previously worked with Alexander and Misha Zverev, Ana Ivanovic to name a few. He was a top UK Junior player funded through the LTA system. He used his tennis playing to create an opportunity to be part of that world as a physio. A great story.

We are sad to announce the passing of two members of our Leftscape family. Alan Semok, Mary's husband, passed away on Sunday, October 27th. In this episode, Mary enumerates his many creative accomplishments and speaks from the raw place of recent loss. Known as "The Dummy Doctor," Alan Semok was a ventriloquist with a special expertise in repairing and restoring ventriloquist dummies. He was an accomplished actor and had many unique credits including performing as Larry of The Three Stooges and becoming the voice of Bela Lugosi. Tragically, Mary's beloved nephew, the funny and talented Pat McCann, also died one week before Alan. Thank you for listening, helping Mary through an extraordinarily difficult time, and honoring their lives. Considering the distressing nature of the recent events, All the News We Can Handle is on the lighter side. Stories include tracked eagles accruing outrageous roaming charges, Trump getting booed at the World Series, and a ridiculous "Florida Man" story. In a special Rewind segment, Robin and Wendy discuss Episode 60 featuring David Jamison and why Jewish people were not mentioned anywhere in the conversation on how we divide ourselves by race. The show begins in celebratory form, with mentions of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week, Saxophone Day (November 6th), National Men Make Dinner Day (November 7th), National STEM/STEAM Day (November 8th), World Science Day for Peace and Development and the US Marine Corps Birthday (November 10th), and Veterans Day (November 11th). The birthday people of the week are former pro tennis player Ana Ivanovic, Emma Stone, Sally Field, Lorde, Marie Curie, Gordon Ramsay, Carl Sagan, Emma Gonzalez, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Peaches. In anticipation of the official launch of the Patreon page next week, The Leftscape will podcast LIVE on Facebook, Friday, November 8th at 7pm from Philcon at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cherry Hill, NJ.

“That’s one of the things I learned right away is you have to be willing to go on the court every single day and get fired, and stick up for what you believe in." This week's TENNIS.com Podcast guest is WTA and ATP coach Craig Kardon. With 30 years of experience on tour, Kardon has a lot of stories to share with podcast co-hosts Nina Pantic and Irina Falconi.  A former Top 300-ranked pro, Kardon got his pro coaching career started in the late 1980s helping none other than Martina Navratilova to her final Wimbledon title in 1990. He has since worked with Mary Pierce, Lindsay Davenport, Jennifer Capriati, Ana Ivanovic, Xavier Malisse, Alex Bogomolov,  CoCo Vandeweghe and more. He has been a fixture in World TeamTennis for nearly 20 years, spending the last decade guiding the Billie Jean King-owned Philadelphia Freedoms.   Kardon shares how he got his first gig, and why coaches struggle to hold onto any sort of steady work on tour with the coaching carousel spitting out changes seemingly daily. He explains what has kept him in the game, how he manages life on tour and what he looks for when he's seeking out a new player to work with.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Épisode 201 : Terre battue, cordes tendues et télédiffusion internationale, en ce moment c’est Roland Garros et on s’est dit que c’était l’occasion de vous parler de Tennis !! On ne va pas vous parler aujourd’hui des comptes de tennis-mens-and-women, vous ne verrez pas de Ana Ivanovic à 1.5Mio d’abonnés ou de Raphael Nadal à 6.7mio d’abonnés. NON. On va vous parler de ce qui fait la beauté de ce sport, de ce qui se passe derrière la raquette, sur les cours d’entraînement et dans les vestiaires. Behind the Racquet [Instagram][1] > 8990 Abonnés Behind The Racquet », le compte Instagram sur lequel les joueurs partagent leurs histoires intimes En tout début d’année 2019, le joueur américain Noah Rubin (USA) a créé le compte Instagram « Behind The Racquet » (derrière la raquette en français). De nombreux joueurs et joueuses du circuit - mais pas que - y livrent des confidences sur leur vie, leurs failles, leurs peurs ou leurs échecs. 157e mondial - 227e mondial … Son constat : « j’en ai marre de lire et d'écouter des interviews de joueurs de tennis, elles sont toutes plates et ennuyeuses, ce sont toujours les mêmes questions qui reviennent.

Sur le logo on comprend que la raquette est une sorte de loupe qui permet de voir au travers de ces personnes Ce sont déjà 45 témoignages qui sont présents sur la page Un joueur pro « Ruan Roelofse » raconte par exemple comment il est dur de percer et de subvenir à ses propres besoins en étant joueur de tennis professionnel.

"What kind of computer system am I running here—is it Apple or is it Microsoft? We need to speak the same language and the language of the player is more important than my language."    Longtime ATP and WTA coach Sven Groeneveld joins the podcast in the midst of the busiest time of the year for players announcing coaching changes. His lengthy coaching resume includes the likes of Monica Seles, Michael Stitch, Caroline Wozniacki, Ana Ivanovic, Tommy Haas and Fernando Verdasco, to name a few. In March, Groeneveld parted ways with Maria Sharapova after four years of working together.    Groeneveld explains how he got into coaching, including how he got paired up with Seles in the early 1990s (05:28). The 53-year-old shares who he learned the ropes from (07:27),  what players should look for in finding the right coach (12:38) and how he has dealt with abruptly switching player boxes (19:17). He also addresses the reasons behind the fast-moving coaching carousel, especially on the WTA tour (22:12), and adds his opinions to the on-court coaching debate (24:21).    A program for teaching and licensing pro coaches doesn’t exist to his standards, and Groeneveld hopes the tours will invest in making a pathway for current playing pros to transition into coaching (26:46). He is already doing his part to connect coaches with the right players and clubs as he helped create OrangeCoach.com, a job placement site with over 20,000 registered coaches (29:39).    And finally, sourcing from his three decades of experience touring the world as a professional coach, Groeneveld shares his Top 5 career moments (32:56).

It’s one thing to be the Chief Marketing Officer of a large business but another thing to be the CMO of the world’s largest advertiser, P&G. I really enjoyed my latest interview with Jim Stengel who is the founder of The Jim Stengel Company and prior to that had a very successful career as the Global Marketing Officer (GMO) of P&G. In his seven years as the GMO, the company doubled its revenue. In today’s terms, the revenue he brought in during his tenure is equivalent to the revenue of approximately 30 AirBnBs. He has received more awards and recognitions than one could ever dream of. From being named onto Fortune’s Executive Dream Team to being the number one power player in marketing by AdAge through 2003, 2004, 2006 and 2007. If there’s anyone who has reached the pinnacle of advertising and marketing, it’s Jim. What I took away from my interview with Jim was not all of the things that he accomplished professionally, but the importance of being a good human being. He’s incredibly humble and down to earth. He admits to the mistakes that he made in the early days as both a husband and a leader. He emphasizes the importance of his wife (who is #1) and the value he places on building relationships. Jim could have stopped after his career at P&G to relax and retire. Most people would have been more than happy with what he achieved. Instead, he’s continued to make it it his mission to help businesses and people reach their full potential.  Here are some of the highlights from our conversation: Jim hustled as a child. To get a job delivering the local paper, he had to lie that he was 12 years old when he was only 10. It was the only way he could get the job. In addition to delivering the paper, he mowed lawns, shoveled driveways, worked at a pizza joint and did a lot of other scrappy jobs to make some money. His first grown-up job was with Time Inc. where he was hired into the books division.  To my surprise, Jim was actually rejected for an internship at P&G. He didn’t make the cut but he didn’t give up and eventually got hired. It was a good thing that P&G didn't make the same mistake twice. On his first job, he was tasked with the launch of a new product, Duncan Hines. He was given the task to find a way to sample to every household in the US. With a $60 million sampling budget at his disposal, he managed to hire every delivery truck in the country to help him deliver the cookies. On rookie leadership mistakes, he talks about the importance of seeing what’s around the corner and what’s ahead of you. Too many leaders fall into the trap of tackling daily operational activities but fail to deliberately spend time thinking about the future of their business. On other business advice he would give, it would be that you can never fire too fast. When it comes to people related issues, you usually know in your gut as to what the decision should be. One bad apple on a team can infect many people and it’s important to remove those people immediately.  The only time he ever considered leaving P&G was after his first year. Time Inc. called him back and offered him a job that would triple his salary. What kept him at P&G was the opportunity to learn and grow. From then on, he had a principle to never speak to head hunters.  He’s a big believer that the key to life is resiliency. People who have bounced back from setbacks in their careers or personal life. These people are often the happiest people and have lived the most rewarding lives. His WFIO (We’re F&cked, it’s over) moment happened in the second year when he was running the business in Czechoslovakia. He was the only one on the team who didn’t have share growth that year. It was the moment when he thought that his job was on the line. But John Pepper, the CEO of P&G at the time, spent five minutes with him and provided a few words of assurance that the company believed in him and that he believed that he would get through it. Jim never forgot that conversation and it changed the way he viewed his situation. He encourages leaders to never underestimate the impact that they can have on their people. And yes, the business he ran turned around and the rest is history. Jim met his wife and proposed to her only three months later. To help seal the deal on his proposal, he made her a physical scrapbook documenting their experiences together. He’s what I call a “closer”. On mistakes he made as a husband, he talks about the times in his life when he didn’t always put his wife as number one and took her for granted with work, children and other obligations. Life gets in the way but one should always put their spouse as number one.  On routines, exercise is a non-negotiable. He might sacrifice sleep or eating, but he will never sacrifice exercise. He tries to change it up all the time and will do water aerobics, tennis, yoga, a HIIT class, or something different. On the bucket list, he’s hoping to still play Roger Federer a game of tennis. He recently played Ana Ivanovic (the former number one ranked female tennis player). I took that as a humble brag. =P There’s a lot more from this interview so make sure to listen to the full interview. Either go to the SoundCloud link below or subscribe to our iTunes channel.

Tennis Podcast listeners successfully funded the weekly show to continue in 2017, and so we are back! Catherine and David convene to discuss the seven tournaments that have started the new year with a bang, to talk about Andy Murray’s knighthood, to make their 2017 tennis wishes, and to delve into the Poll Vault. Nigel Sears, former coach of Ana Ivanovic and Daniella Hantuchova, and Murray’s father-in-law, tells us who he will be looking out for on the WTA circuit in 2017. He also gives us his thoughts on the retirement of Ivanovic, how he thinks Anne Keothavong will fair as Great Britain Fed Cup captain, and whether he will be addressing Murray as ‘Sir Andy’. The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker (Eurosport) and David Law (BBC 5 Live, BT Sport) and produced in association with Telegraph Sport. The podcast’s crowdfunding Kickstarter will end on January 14th at Noon UK time. If it reaches £15,000, the team will produce 45 daily podcasts at the Grand Slam tournaments in 2017. Go to...

It's our Season 6 premiere! This is our 217th episode, and golly do Ben and Courtney have lots to reflect on before we get started with 2017. Time to look back to move forward. First, we look back at the career and legacy of Ana Ivanovic, who played excellent tennis at times and was a joy to be around always. We discuss the role she plays in our separate and joint tennis origin stories, and what made her such a welcome presence on tour. Then, Ben chats with Auckland tournament director Karl Budge about running a tournament that has attracted increasingly star-studded fields (including Serena, Venus, and Wozniacki this year), and the differences between running ATP and WTA events. Then we get into the meat of the show, which is our annual nostalgia trip known as "Remember When...?" It's so meaty this time that we need to carve it into two pieces, so this #175a will be followed by #175b in the near future. And as always, thanks for liking us on Facebook (leave comments on the episode thread! Engage with other listeners), following us on Twitter (discuss this episode with hashtag #NCR175a!), and subscribing/reviewing on iTunes on iTunes or whatever your podcasting app/platform of choice may be.

After taking a break for a month, The Tennis Podcast is back for one last episode in 2016, and there is a lot for Catherine and David to cover. The awful knife attack suffered by Petra Kvitova, the retirement of Ana Ivanovic, and the Australian Open withdrawals of Juan Martin Del Potro and Madison Keys kick off the show. The coaching carousel has been spinning like a Rafael Nadal forehand, and Nadal’s new alliance with Carlos Moya is one of the main topics discussed. What to make of the separation of Novak Djokovic and Boris Becker, and Jo Konta and Esteban Carril? And what will Richard Krajicek bring to Milos Raonic? We also talk about Roger Federer’s return, his periscoped practice session, and Andy Murray winning Sports Personality of the Year for a third time. And finally, don’t forget that The Tennis Podcast is running a crowdfunding Kickstarter to try to keep the show going in 2017.

Den Zeitraum von Weihnachten bis Silvester nennt man vielerorts »zwischen den Jahren«. Nach der ersten Runde des DFB-Pokals ist es deshalb höchste Zeit für das erste Pflichtspiel von Stefan und Nick – zwischen den Saisons! In dieser Episode dreht sich unter anderem alles um Stecktabellen und Sonderhefte, um den ersten Bundesliga-Spieltag, um Bastian Schweinsteiger und Ana Ivanovic, um Alemannia Aachen, um Jérôme Boateng und Jay Z, um Borussia Dortmund und Alba Berlin sowie um Cristiano Ronaldo und Hugo. Und, ihr hört zum ersten Mal unsere betörende Jingle-Stimme Patrycja.

With the hotly anticipated Djokovic-Nadal quarterfinal now complete, Ben and Courtney put down the panic buttons and hit the record button to share their feelings. What does the unshocking yet lopsided loss say about Rafael Nadal, and his future as a dominant force in tennis? What can he do to regain former glories? Also, just how much better is Novak Djokovic than everybody else? We also discuss other issues of the French Open second week, including debris falling on spectators, surprise semifinal runs by Ana Ivanovic, Lucie Safarova, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Stan Wawrinka, and more! We then dive into the issues about transcript availability to fans, and how this affects journalists like ourselves. As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter, and subscribing/reviewing on iTunes or whatever your podcasting platform of choice may be! 

In this special Rome final preview episode taped Saturday afternoon, Ben and Courtney look ahead to the upcoming tilt between Serena Williams and Sara Errani, as well as the week that was on the women's side at the Foro Italico. What do we make of Errani's unexpected emergence on home soil? Does she have a shot against Serena after the brutal loss in Paris last year? Also, our thoughts on the increasingly legit Ana Ivanovic, as well as the rest of the field that came and went through the Foro Italico. As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter, and subscribing and reviewing on iTunes! You, dear listeners, are the pasta twirled around the fork that is our hearts. Or something. 

In Episode 65, Ben and Courtney return to the airwaves (internetwaves?) live from Melbourne once again, this time to sort through the rubble of another injury-laced exit from Melbourne by Serena Williams, this time at the unlikely hands of Ana Ivanovic. What does the win mean for Ana? And what does the loss mean for Serena? What do we make of the way Serena (and her coach Patrick Mouratoglou) handled her injury? And how does her exit change the landscape of the women's draw? Could Li Na actually be considered a viable favorite? The men haven't done much, but Bernard Tomic, who only played one set in Melbourne, is always one to get a conversation going. Thanks for waking up with us, dear listeners! As always, thanks for following us on Twitter, liking us on Facebook, and subscribing and reviewing on iTunes!

Things got way too real at Wimbledon on Wednesday, so Ben and Courtney needed to rush to the microphone to come to grips with perhaps the craziest day of results and withdrawals in tennis history. After Rafael Nadal exited in the first round Monday, Wednesday saw the exits of Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Victoria Azarenka, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Caroline Wozniacki, Marin Cilic, Ana Ivanovic, Jelena Jankovic, John Isner and Lleyton Hewitt, all on one day. It was weird, surreal, and we have lots of thoughts about what happened, and what will happen in the future, in this draw that now will guarantee some thoroughly unexpected players in the late rounds of this tournament. We make picks, but really who knows. Make your quarterfinal picks on our Facebook page, and we'll see who's wronger! We may have lost lots of players, but we're glad not to lose you, dear listeners! As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter, and leaving us reviews on iTunes!

In this French Open Second Week special, Ben and Courtney catch up on all the happenings in the middle of the French Open, and look forward to the exciting last few matches of the tournament. We also find ourselves on the opposite sides of a few issues that arose. Should the tours do more to stop excessive grunting, after the chorus of shriek-denouncers again arose during the Sharapova-Azarenka semifinal, and are the complaints valid? Should a final set tiebreak be instituted to save the players from marathon fifth sets like the one between Haas and Isner? Then we largely agree on stuff some stuff as we talk about the status of the French Open in the Grand Slam landscape, as well as the culture of Twitter and betting. We also take a few questions, and explain why Ana Ivanovic is a terribly redesigned video game character, why Serena took so long to contend in Paris again, and what a fresh Slam winner could mean to the men's game. As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter,and leaving us reviews on iTunes! Nous voulons te voir, dear listeners.

On Episode 16b, Ben and Courtney continue their recap of the U.S. Open and answer a flurry of questions from email and Twitter. They talk about the USTA's bungling of Taylor Townsend, whether Ana Ivanovic has topped out, the merits of best of five matches at the Slams, Vivica A. Fox: Superfan, the best current ATPer not to win a Slam, and all this prize money mumbo-jumbo.

Episode 4 was struck down by the crippling stomach virus that is spreading around the Coachella Valley, so Ben and Courtney, who are both in Indian Wells for the BNP Paribas Open, reconvened to discuss what’s happened so far and what we look forward to during the business end of the tournament. We talk about Mardy Fish and Petra Kvitova’s early dismissals, the beautiful grounds at Indian Wells, and we hop on the Mona Barthel bandwagon. Tune in for our predictions just so you can hear Courtney say Ana Ivanovic had no shot against Caroline Wozniacki. When asked for a comment, Courtney said “Oops.”
