Der sollte sich in den ersten Runden eigentlich recht klar durchsetzen, könnte dann aber im Viertelfinale auf den Formspieler des Sommers Daniil Medvedev treffen.Das zweite Viertel bei den Herren wird angeführt von Roger Federer, der wohl vor allem auf Kei Nishikori und David Goffin wird Acht geben müssen. Im Halbfinale könnte es dann gegen Djokovic gehen. Das dritte Viertel der Herren beginnt gleich mit einem Knaller. Stefanos Tsitsipas spielt gegen Andrey Rublev. Auch Nick Kyrgios und Roberto Bautista-Agut finden sich hier in der Auslosung. Dominic Thiem ist der nominell stärkste Spieler im dri...

Today on the Lucky Letcord Podcast we hear from former French star Sarah Pitkowski. Sarah is currently covering the tournament for RMC Sports in France. She dropped by to chat about what it was like playing Roland Garros from a Frenchwoman's perspective. We talked about the disappointing performance from Caroline Garcia and Kristina Mladenovic, and what might be the factors holding this talented duo back. We professed our love for the revamped Roland Garros site and expressed our common feeling that Court Simonne-Mathieu is a dream. Sarah tells us what it was like to face WTA legends Martina Hingis, Serena Williams, Steffi Graf and Amelie Mauresmo. We also talk about Gael Monfils and the state of French tennis overall. Before the interview we hear from Iga Swiatek and Anastasija Sevastova, two players that have made great success in week one in Paris. Thanks for listening and enjoy the tennis!

LISTEN TO GRAEME AGARS TALK WITH D'ARCY AND GORAN ABOVE World No. 4 Alex Zverev completely lost the plot in an extraordinary outburst following his early brain snaps against Milos Raonic.The rising superstar dropped the first set to Raonic after a weird start to the match saw each player's serve broken within the first 10 minutes.A particularly silky Raonic pulled away and capitalised on a number of errors from the 21-year-old and stole the set 6-1. Cleary filthy at his series of errors and failures to find his way into the match, Zverev finally snapped when he went down 5-1 in the second set.The German star smashed his racquet into the ground nine times during a change of ends, an outburst that's already being labelled one of the ugliest in recent years."That's crazy. That's like twilight zone stuff," Tennis legend John McEnroe said.The American champion said Zverev's stroppy demeanor on court would have been a sports psychologists dream."Right now he is not exuding positive energy. He's moping a little bit," McEnroe told Channel 9."And he's down a set, down a break. Things are not going well. He is also giving positive feedback to a player who doesn't need any more than the scoreboard is giving him. It's a different energy than a lot of other top players would give off. Certainly Rafa wouldn't be doing anything other than coming out of his skin trying to get back into it."Just generally speaking the body language, he's got the racquet sort of drooping towards the ground. He's not sticking his chest out at all. He gives himself a sarcastic thumbs up there. A sports psychologist would do a lot with this little clip of Zverev as far as things not to do in this environment."Fellow Channel 9 commentator Todd Woodbridge said of Zverev's poor performance: "It's all just a little lazy".Earlier, Naomi Osaka is through to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open for the first time after she had to come from a set down against Anastasija Sevastova.Both players showed moments of tightening up in a tense final set, but it was Sevastova who let her mental demons overcome her.The under dog, who is notorious for her stroppy, self-defeated body language, was back to her old tricks after she fell behind in the final set, triggering concern for her emotional state.Some tennis commentators even said the 28-year-old was "falling apart" on Rod Laver Arena.In the end she was unable to recover and fell 4-6 6-3 6-4 after taking the first set.Sevastava found herself down 3-1 in the decisive set before she secure the break back in a marathon sixth service game where the scores were levelled 3-3 when the Latvian converted her sixth break point opportunity.Sevastova cut a forlorn figure just minutes later when her next service game was broken and the No. 13 seed continued to show her immense frustrations at her own unforced errors at a crucial point in the match.It was all Osaka needed to go on and serve pout the match un just under two hours.Meanwhile, Roger Feder has sharply rebuked a comment from John McEnroe, who declared we were "watching the changing of the guard" as Greek youngster Stefanos Tsitsipas eliminated Federer from the Australian Open on Sunday night."Yeah, sure," Federer said at his press conference, when asked about McEnroe's assertion during an on-court interview with Tsitsipas."He's in front of the mic a lot. He's always going to say stuff. I love John (but) I've heard that story the last 10 years. From that standpoint, nothing new there."While not ready to agree his time as a grand slam contender is up, Federer was happy to welcome Tsitsipas to the "next level"."I think he's definitely done a really nice job the last year and a half," Federer said."I mean before that, too, obviously. But beating Novak (Djokovic) in Toronto, the likes of (Kevin) Anderson and (Sascha) Zverev, now me here. That's what you need to do to get to the next level. He's doing that. It's really nice for him."I see him definite...

Welcome to Spodcast, the daily sports update on Firstpost.   Serena Williams defeated Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia to reach her ninth US Open final. Williams took just 66 minutes to win the semi-final 6-3, 6-0. Williams said after the match, “It's honestly really incredible…A year ago I was fighting for my life in the hospital after I had the baby.” She battled life-threatening blood clots after a difficult delivery. She also added, “…every time I step out on this court I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to play this sport. To come this far so fast. I'm really looking forward to the possibilities.” Sevastova, who had beaten defending champion Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals, said, “I shouldn't have gotten broken twice in the first set…When she's in front it's tough to play…when somebody serves 123 miles per hour ace there's not much you can do." 20-year-old Naomi Osaka won her semi-final against Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4 to enter her first Grand Slam final. Osaka fought off 13 breakpoint opportunities that Keys created and won three breakpoints. Keys said, “every time I had a break point, it was an ace or a winner or something like that.” Osaka said, “It still feels really weird because I’ve never beaten Madison before…she’s a really good player.” She broke Keys’ serve early in the second set and eventually took it 6-4. Osaka will face six-time champion Serena Williams in the final on Saturday. The fifth Test match between India and England begins today at The Oval in London. England have named an unchanged squad for this match. Jonny Bairstow, who broke a finger in the Third Test, will be England’s wicketkeeper in the fifth test. In the fourth Test of the series, Jos Buttler had performed wicket-keeping duties while Bairstow had played as a specialist batsman. England won that match to take the series 3-1. An unchanged squad means Moeen Ali will retain his place in the side, and might even bat at number three. The final match in this Test series will also be Alastair Cook’s final Test match as an England player. An update on the Indian shooters competing at the 52nd ISSF Championships in South Korea. Saurabh Chaudhary won the gold in the junior 10m air pistol event. 16-year-old Chaudhary, who won a gold at the Asian Games in August, qualified third with a score of 581. He then bested his own world record with a new high score of 245.5 in the final. He had set a world record in the 10m air pistol event at the ISSF Junior World Cup in June. Hojin Lim of South Korea won the silver with a final score of 243.1. Meanwhile, Abhishek Verma missed out on an Olympic quota after finishing in eighth place in the senior competition of the ISSF World Championship. Verma, who had won a bronze at the Asiad, qualified third in the men’s 10m air pistol event. However, he ended with a final score of 118. Korea's Jin Jongoh, who scored 241.5 points, claimed gold after defeating Russian athlete Artem Chernousov in a shoot-off. India’s senior shooters won a silver medal in the team event. Abhishek Verma, Om Prakash Mitharwal, who won the 50m pistol gold, and Shahzar Rizvi scored a total of 1,738 points in men's 10m air pistol to win the silver in the team event. The junior shooters continued to have a good time at the championships. India won the silver in the junior men's trap team competition with Aman Ali Elahi, Vivaan Kapoor and Manavaditya Singh Rathore shooting a combined 348 points. They finished second behind Australia. India are third in the medals tally behind Korea and Russia, with four gold, six silver and four bronze. Anjum Moudgil and Apurvi Chandela are the only Indian shooters to have secured quota places for the 2020 Olympics so far. An update on India’s Davis Cup campaign. India's captain Mahesh Bhupathi defended the selection of N Sriram Balaji as a replacement for Divij Sharan, who pulled out after a tear in his serving shoulder. Balaji was chosen ahead of higher-ranked doubles players Jeevan Ned...

The women’s final is set: Serena Williams will face Naomi Osaka on Saturday. On The Tennis Podcast, David and Catherine discuss how both players got there.Serena beat Anastasija Sevastova 6-3, 6-0. What made this such a formidable performance? David was struck by Serena's net game. Has she ever been forward more? And was it a pre-planned tactic or a mid-match adjustment?Is there a difference between “needing” and “wanting” Grand Slam titles? Catherine wonders whether, with Olympia now in her life, Serena no longer “needs” to win the US Open….but she might just want it more than ever.Naomi Osaka, meanwhile, saved all 13 break points to beat Madison Keys in straight sets. How did she turn the negative head-to-head record in her favour? There’s lots of talk about her improved movement and defence, as well as her loveable interviews.How will Osaka handle the occasion in her first Grand Slam final? She idolises Serena. She also beat her in Miami this year. But this is a different Serena.Looking ahead to the men’s semi-finals, there’s lots of excitement about the potential for epics. Will the matches deliver the goods? Catherine and David still have a feeling for Del Potro. But conditions are set to be less hot and humid. How much will that favour Djokovic?

For the second night in a row, the end of The Tennis Podcast had to be recorded at past 2am in New York.That’s because Rafael Nadal and Dominic Thiem played a marathon match long into the night, with Nadal prevailing in a thrilling deciding set tiebreak.This was tennis at its absolute best, say David and Catherine, and also a brilliant advert for fifth set tiebreaks.Nadal will now face Del Potro in a repeat of last year’s semi-final. Del Potro beat Isner in a match that played out as most people expected. Is there an irresistible force behind Del Potro pushing him to the title?Elsewhere, there was a big surprise in the opening match of the day when Sloane Stephens was beaten in straight-sets by Anastasija Sevastova. How did Sevastova “bamboozle” the defending champion? Did Stephens show mental weakness?Will Sevastova’s variety and court craft trouble Serena Williams in the semi-finals? Serena was a comfortable winner against Karolina Pliskova on Tuesday night. How well did she play?There will be daily editions of The Tennis Podcast throughout the US Open fortnight.

With pudding and beer in hand, Ben and Courtney wrap up their main thoughts from a first week of the U.S. Open that mostly went without major disruption. Raonic, Kyrgios, Cilic and Muguruza being out is surprising, as is Caroline Wozniacki and Anastasija Sevastova being in. But mostly, it's business as expected, which should set up for a grand second week. We hope.  Also, there's a roof and it makes things louder.
