Coco Gauff SAVES TWO MATCH POINTS in an incredible US Open 2026 comeback against Mirra Andreeva!

Coco Gauff vs Elena Rybakina — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the SEMIFINAL of the 2026 US Open. The new World No. 1 against the 2023 champion, in a final four that hasn't happened at this tournament in 51 YEARS.Elena Rybakina arrives with the biggest news of the fortnight already secured: she WILL BECOME WORLD NO. 1 after this tournament, replacing Aryna Sabalenka, after edging Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-1, 6-4 in the quarterfinals. The reigning Australian Open champion had to come from a set down to end the qualifier's extraordinary run, and it caps a stretch in which she has beaten Naomi Osaka 6-1, 6-4 and won 42 of her last 50 hard-court matches. She is the form player on this surface, full stop.Coco Gauff is one match from a second US Open final, and she just survived the scare of her tournament. Having not dropped a set through four rounds, the fourth seed found herself a set and two MATCH POINTS down against 2026 Roland-Garros champion Mirra Andreeva before rallying to win 2-6, 7-6(7), 6-2 — extending her perfect head-to-head over Andreeva to 6-0. She came into New York as the Cincinnati Open champion, exactly as she did in 2023 before winning her maiden Grand Slam in this building.The head-to-head is dead level at 1-1 — and the last meeting was recent. In the Toronto semifinals on August 13, Rybakina lost the opening set and then took control, winning 5-7, 6-2, 6-2.For context on how strong this final four is: this is the FIRST TIME SINCE 1975 that all top four seeds have reached the US Open women's semifinals, with Sabalenka facing Jessica Pegula in the other half.

Coco Gauff vs Mirra Andreeva — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their QUARTERFINAL at the 2026 US Open. A reigning French Open champion who has NEVER beaten her opponent, against a home favourite who has not dropped a set all tournament.Coco Gauff is back in the last eight in New York for the first time since her title run in 2023 — and the parallels keep stacking up. The fourth seed arrived as the Cincinnati Open champion, her first title of 2026 and her second in that building, exactly as she did before winning her maiden Grand Slam here three years ago. She has been flawless since: NOT A SET DROPPED in four matches, closing with a clinical 6-1, 6-4 win over 14th seed Iva Jovic in 80 minutes.Mirra Andreeva is into her first US OPEN QUARTERFINAL, and she has had to work for it. The fifth seed and 2026 ROLAND-GARROS CHAMPION — the youngest women's champion in Paris since Monica Seles in 1992 — has been tested repeatedly, most recently surviving Anastasia Potapova 5-7, 6-4, 6-3 after dropping the opening set. At 19, with a major already won and a title in Linz plus a Madrid final this season, she is a genuine threat on any surface.Except, apparently, against Gauff. The American leads the head-to-head 5-0 across five meetings, most recently 6-4, 7-6(5) in the Rome quarterfinals in 2025. Andreeva has never solved her. "It'll come down to who holds up better in the big moments," Gauff said.Fresh legs against three-set grinding, a perfect record against a Grand Slam champion. Who reaches the semifinals?

Novak Djokovic éliminé dès le premier tour d'un Grand Chelem pour la première fois depuis vingt ans, Arthur Fils sorti malgré son récent titre en Masters 1000, Rafael Jodar déjà dehors… Mais au-delà des éliminations, ces trois premiers tours ont surtout révélé les forces et les faiblesses de ceux qui restent. Carlos Alcaraz revient après quatre mois et demi sans compétition, Alexander Zverev a déjà passé plus de neuf heures sur le court, Daniil Medvedev semble ressuscité et plusieurs outsiders voient soudain le tableau s'ouvrir devant eux. Alors que les huitièmes de finale commencent, on revient sur les enseignements de cette première semaine avant d'analyser et pronostiquer chaque huitième de finale, chez les hommes comme chez les femmes.

João Fonseca está fora por lesão no abdômen (decisão difícil, o US Open é especial pra ele). Nenhum brasileiro na chave principal de simples - primeira vez desde 2018.

Mirra Andreeva vs Janice Tjen — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their FIRST ROUND match at the 2026 US Open at Flushing Meadows, New York. A reigning Grand Slam champion against Indonesia's history-maker — and they just played each other three weeks ago.Mirra Andreeva is the fifth seed and, at 19, already a major champion. She won the 2026 French Open, beating Polish qualifier Maja Chwalinska 6-3, 6-2 in the final to become the youngest Roland-Garros women's champion since Monica Seles in 1992 and the first Russian woman to win in Paris since Maria Sharapova in 2014. Her season also includes a title in Linz and a final in Madrid. The hard-court swing was bumpier — she was upset by Leylah Fernandez in Toronto — but she comes to New York as one of the genuine title contenders.Janice Tjen is one of the sport's best stories. The Indonesian is ranked World No. 35, just off her career-high No. 36 set in February, and she became the first Indonesian woman to win a tour-level singles title since Angelique Widjaja in 2002 when she took the Chennai Open. Her 2026 has been a grind at 11-20, but she has four career top-30 wins — including Leylah Fernandez — and she is a genuinely awkward, fearless opponent on a big stage.They have played once, and recently: Andreeva came through their third-round meeting at the Cincinnati Open just weeks ago. Tjen now gets an immediate rematch, on the biggest stage in tennis. Can she flip it?

The latest from Cincinnati as Amanda Anisimova ends Alex Eala's run to set up a fascinating clash with Linda Noskova. We also react to one of the strangest matches of the tournament, with Brandon Nakashima defeating Daniil Medvedev in bizarre circumstances, before previewing the blockbuster showdown between Mirra Andreeva and Marta Kostyuk.

Ben and Tumaini went back to their spot on Court 15 at Wimbledon to chat about the second round action, which was without any massive shocks but still entertained and intrigued. We start with the men and the great Shintaro Mochizuki, who is into the third round of a Slam for the first time. We then cover Djokovic crushing Tsitsipas, the big win by Grigor Dimitrov (whose presser is an intermission in this episode), as well as the rest of the fellas. We then move to the women, including Tumaini's story from Jelena Ostapenko about trying to confront burglars, Naomi Osaka's grass comfort, Krejcikova d. Andreeva, Alex Eala readying to face Iga Swiatek, and the doubts around doubles for Serena.  Thank you for listening!

Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim break down Day 3 of Wimbledon, including Novak Djokovic looking like a serious Wimbledon favorite, Barbora Krejčíková's massive upset of Mirra Andreeva, and why Jannik Sinner's forehand is becoming a talking point. They also dive into Coco Gauff's gritty escape, Aryna Sabalenka's historic tiebreak streak, Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe's momentum, and the biggest storylines of Day 3.  COMMENT BELOW: What was your favorite match of Day 3?

Novak Djokovic produced one of the performances of Wimbledon 2026 so far, cruising into the third round with a statement victory. Is the seven-time champion building towards another unforgettable title run? Meanwhile, defending champion Jannik Sinner continued his impressive march through the draw, Mirra Andreeva became one of the biggest shock exits of the tournament, and the race for the Wimbledon title is beginning to take shape. In today's Wimbledon Day 3 recap, we break down: • Djokovic's dominant display • Sinner's comfortable progress • Andreeva's shock defeat • The biggest talking points from SW19 Who impressed you most today? Let us know in the comments!

We start by reacting to Deadline Djokovic and his rapid victory over Stefanos Tsitsipas. How much will that efficiency help him later on in the tournament? We then move on to the two standout matches of the day - Barbora Krejcikova's thrilling win over French Open champion Mirra Andreeva, and Coco Gauff winning the last six points to survive a final set tiebreak against Solana Sierra. We discuss what makes Krejcikova's forehand so great, the return of Andreeva's on court petulance, and how Gauff's improved serve helped her in some key moments. In part two (25:40), we cover Aryna Sabalenka having to step up to beat McCartney Kessler in straight sets, some possible reasons why Jannik Sinner remains short of his best, and the end of Dan Evans' professional tennis career. We end the show with some news (54:40), including reports of a knee injury for Serena Williams, and the decision to move the WTA Finals to Indian Wells instead of Saudi Arabia this year.

"Every time I lose, it's like the end of the world." This is what Mirra Andreeva said after losing the final in Madrid in May of this year. Josh and Brian discuss this quote from a psychological point of view. Although much of the discussion centers on Andreeva, she represents what a lot of players go through when they lose. Her subsequent victory at Roland Garros showed significant growth in her game, her emotional regulation, and her maturity.

Mirra Andreeva caps off an amazing clay season with the biggest clay title possible at Roland Garros. At only 19 years old!If the season before clay wasn't filled with her best moments, Andreeva came back with fire for the clay, winning 22 of 25 matches, and lifting her first major title. While she was pretty much expected to achieve all there is to achieve in tennis, maybe this title at Grand Slam level might have surprised even the best analysts. I personally think this came way sooner than I thought it would, even though I did pick her to win the tournament during our Draw Previews episode.Now, at No.1 in the Race, she has a tangible chance at getting to the top of the rankings, becoming World No.1 for real. But the road ahead won't be easy.The WTA Core Four: Swiatek's episode: https://shows.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels/episodes/iga-swiatek-lost-at-roland-garros-there-are-positivesI have opinions on the performances of the WTA Core Four, meaning Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Iga Swiatek, and Coco Gauff. It ranges from "it's fine, it happens," to "this could trigger the end of her peak."In particular, Sabalenka had possibly the worst result, even if she's gotten the furthest in the tournament. Losing 10 games in a row when you're serving for the match is an epic meltdown. It's the kind of historic achievement you just don't want in your resume, especially as World No.1 when all your biggest rivals are already out of the tournament.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.

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by The Athletic's Matt Futterman to discuss finals weekend in Madrid and what it might all mean for Roland Garros. Part one - ATP (00:00 - 38:00).
