Podcasts about Anett Kontaveit

Now that she's stepped back from the sport she dominated like few others, Serena Williams is ready to reflect. The tennis great has a two-book deal with the Random House Publishing Group, starting with an “intimate” memoir in which she will open up about everything from her childhood and early tennis training, dramatized in the 2021 film “King Richard,” to her extraordinary career and the obstacles and setbacks she endured along the way. The book is not yet titled and does not have a release date. The second book, also untitled, will be an “inspirational” work, according to Random House, which announced that “Williams will offer rules for living that draw on her experiences as a philanthropist and advocate, her career as an investment unicorn with Serena Ventures, and someone who has long sought to lift a diverse and emergent generation of young women whose aspirations are not confined to the court.” Williams, 42, announced her retirement — famously eschewing that term and saying instead she was “evolving” away from professional tennis — shortly before the 2022 U.S. Open. She has not played since that tournament, which included a second-round victory over No. 2-ranked Anett Kontaveit before a third-round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic. Williams left the sport with 23 Grand Slam titles in singles, another 14 in doubles with her sister Venus, more than 300 weeks at No. 1 in the rankings and four Olympic gold medals. She also has been widely cited for breaking down racial barriers in tennis and racial and gender barriers in sports and beyond. In an essay published in Vogue last year, she wrote that she hoped that because of her success “women athletes feel that they can be themselves on the court. They can play with aggression and pump their fists. They can be strong yet beautiful. They can wear what they want and say what they want and kick butt and be proud of it all.” Her previous books include a memoir from 2009, “On the Line,” and a picture story, “The Adventures of Qai Qai,” released last year.

Die ersten Tage des Rasenklassikers in London waren geprägt von Regenschauern und vielen Verschiebungen. Dabei gab es im Verlauf der Tage für viele nicht nachvollziehbare Ansetzungen und auch das Festhalten an Traditionen, wie der späten Startzeit auf den Centre Court standen in der Kritik. Henrike und Daniel sammeln alle Eindrücke und versuchen sich an einer Beurteilung des schmalen Grats zwischen Tradition und Innovation. Natürlich gibt es auch sportliche Eindrücke u.a. von Oscar Otte, Elina Svitolina und einen Abschiedsgruß an Anett Kontaveit.

With their preamble out of the way, Ben and Tumaini Carayol (*who is audible in this fixed, reuploaded audio!) dig into the 2023 Wimbledon women's and men's draws to discuss the favorites and other notable names among the 256 players competing for the singles crowns at SW19. Both respective top seeds, Iga Swiatek and Carlos Alcaraz, have their stocks rising after strong grass lead-ups. Have they improved enough to contend for the Wimbledon title? We discuss the bottom-heavy women's draw, the continuing joy of Venus Williams, the struggles of Matteo Berrettini (who was the one player in his generation who seemed like a natural on grass), the retirements of Anett Kontaveit and Milos Raonic, the opportunity for Jannik Sinner, and the enduring juggernaut that is Novak Djokovic. Enjoy!

Gigi Salmon, Russell Fuller and Naomi Broady are joined by GB Davis Captain Leon Smith, Liam Broady and former Wimbledon Champion Pat Cash to discuss the other Brits' chances and who could else cause an upset. We'll hear from Francis Tiafoe, Ons Jabeur and Anett Kontaveit who is retiring after the tournament.

Das Match des Tages am Dienstag war nicht vom Wetter beeinflusst, im Gegensatz zu vielen anderen Partien. Erst war es so heiß in Melbourne, dass nicht gespielt wurde, dann regnete es die meiste Zeit am Abend. Viele Matches wurden auf den Mittwoch verschoben oder werden dann erst fortgesetzt. Doch Andy Murray und Matteo Berrettini spielten meist unter dem Dach und am Ende setzte sich Murray nach zuletzt zwei bitteren Niederlagen gegen Berrettini durch. Am Ende gewann Murray den entscheidenden ... *** Diese Folge enthält Werbung *** AG1 von Athletic Greens Im Moment gibt es eine Aktion exklusiv für HörerInnen von Chip & Charge.

The final Grand Slam of the year did not disappoint.  Frances Tiafoe made a historic run (Lucy has all the stats) to the semi-finals where he lost to eventual champion and world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz in five exhilarating sets. Big Foe, now a top 20 player for the first time, chalked off impressive wins against 22-time major champion Rafael Nadal and Andrey Rublev en route and had the NBA and former First Lady Michelle Obama cheering him on. Coco Gauff reached the last eight in New York for the first time where she lost to in-form Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia. The American 18-year-old, now a top 10 player for the first time, outplayed compatriot Madison Keys in the third round and came through impressively against Zhang Shuai in round four. Lucy gives coach Diego Moyano his flowers. Serena, in her final match as a professional, lost to Australia's Alja Tomljanovic in an epic three-hour tussle. The 23-time Grand Slam champion had everyone believing after her incredible performance and three-set victory over second seed Anett Kontaveit in round two. The GOAT also played doubles with sister Venus for the first time in a long time in New York – they did lose in the first round but it was a very special night. Taylor Townsend and Caty McNally came up short in the women's doubles final, losing to seasoned campaigners Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova in three sets. Our girl Taylor was rightly talking her ‘ish' after the match which left us all excited about her 2023 season. There are also notable mentions for qualifier Christopher Eubanks who reached the second round, Grand Slam debutant Ben Shelton who gave a good account of himself, and juniors Victoria Mboko, Clervie Ngounoue and Ranah Akua Stoiber who all made deep runs.

Serena Williams. How can we ever get used to not seeing her name in tournaments again, or wondering when will she come back, after so long of this name being almost synonymous with tennis itself? As Serena Williams played her last match at the US Open last week, Andre, Vansh and Owen get together to reflect upon the GOAT's legacy, how she changed tennis and women's sports, her impact, and specifically her incredible run at the 2022 US Open - which gifted us with three breathtaking matches against Danka Kovinic, World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit, and Ajla Tomljanovic, who gave Serena Williams her last good bye.Listen to Vansh's in-depth tennis analysis of Serena Williams' career with Hall of Famer tennis historian Steve Flink: Follow TNNS and communicate any bugs and fixes, or just give them a shout out: @tnnsappFollow Tennis and Bagels: Twitter @TennisAndBagelsAndre Rolemberg @RolembergAndreVansh Vermani @vanshv2kOwen Lewis @tennisnationCheck out Popcorn Tennis!Twitter: @Popcorn_Tennis1Website: popcorntennis.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

In this episode I cover Serena Williams upsetting the No. 2 ranked women's tennis player in the world, Anett Kontaveit and the post-game interview. I discuss the blockbuster trading with Donovan Mitchell being traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers from the Utah Jazz. Lastly, I talk about the Eagles trading Jalen Reagor and why it had to be done.

In early August, Serena Williams published an essay in Vogue, announcing her intention to step away from tennis. Given her recent injuries and struggles on the court — including an embarrassing exit in Cincinnati just a few weeks ago — many people feared that the 40 year-old might go out with a whimper at this year's US Open. Oh how wrong they were. After defeating #2 seed Anett Kontaveit on Wednesday night, Serena made clear that she is not just here to say a ceremonial goodbye — she's here to compete for yet another championship. Today, Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated joins us to talk about Serena's transcendent career, and why this latest chapter is just one of many examples of the superstar defying the odds and doing the impossible.Read Jon Wertheim's story about how Serena Williams changed tennis:https://www.si.com/tennis/2022/06/27/serena-williams-wimbledon-2022-daily-coverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Serena Williams has got us all dreaming. After she played some vintage tennis to beat World No.2 Anett Kontaveit, Catherine, David and Matt discuss whether she can go on to win the entire tournament. How is Serena's run making us feel? What was better about today's performance compared to Monday's? And will there be anyone who can cope with the crowd and the sheer enormity of the occasion to actually beat her? We also talk about Jack Draper's routine victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime, Coco Gauff and Madison Keys setting up a third round blockbuster, Andy Murray's improved form and his prospects against Matteo Berrettini, and much more.

The All Local morning update with Lee Harris. 

Die 40-jarige Serena Williams kan steeds nie aftree nie. Sy het in haar swanesang-toernooi in die tweede ronde van die Amerikaanse Ope met die wêreld se nommer twee, Anett Kontaveit, afgereken. Die Amerikaner het die Estlander met 7-6, 2-6 en 6-2 verslaan in 'n volgepakte Arthur Ashe-stadion in New York. Die 23-malige grand slam-enkelspelkampoen het onlangs aangekondig dat sy haar sportloopbaan wil afskaal. Williams sê sy is tevrede met haar huidige vertoning:

U.S. school kids lost two decades of reading and math progress, largely because of COVID-induced remote classes, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Around 80% of high schoolers get fewer than eight hours of sleep per night, and research shows they need more to maintain good mental health. A new California law mandating later school start times might help. Critics review the latest film releases: “Honk For Jesus. Save Your Soul,” “Burial,” “The Invitation,” and “Gigi & Nate.” At the U.S. Open, Serena Williams, who's on the brink of retirement, beat the odds against rising star Anett Kontaveit, who's ranked No. 2 in the world.

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Seattle Mariners 5, Detroit Tigers 3 Chicago White Sox 4, Kansas City Royals 2 Chicago Cubs 7, Toronto Blue Jays 5 Mariners 5, Tigers 3 – Toro’s two-run HR carries Mariners past Tigers, 5-3 Abraham Toro hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the seventh inning and the Seattle Mariners beat the Detroit Tigers 5-3 for their fifth win in six games. Toro, recalled from Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday, had two hits. Eugenio Suarez also hit a two-run homer for the Mariners. Seattle starter Marco Gonzales (10-12) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings. Paul Sewald worked around two walks in the ninth to get his 17th save. Jeimer Candelario drove in two runs for Detroit. Starting pitcher Tyler Alexander allowed two runs in 4 2/3 innings, while Alex Lange (4-4) took the loss. White Sox 4, Royals 2 – White Sox end 5-game skid behind Lynn, beat Royals 4-2 Lance Lynn pitched four-hit ball through seven innings, Elvis Andrus hit a tiebreaking home run in the fifth and the Chicago White Sox beat the Kansas City Royals 4-2 to snap a five-game losing streak. Lynn (4-5), who was reinstated from the bereavement list before the game, didn’t walk a batter and struck out eight for the fifth time this season. The Royals had scored 24 runs in their previous two games. Chicago (64-66) won for the first time under bench coach Miguel Cairo, who served his second game as acting manager while Tony La Russa is on indefinite leave for an unspecified health issue. The Royals (53-78) lost for the third time in five games. Cubs 7, Blue Jays 5 – Reyes, Hoerner help Cubs beat Blue Jays 7-5, avoid sweep Franmil Reyes homered, Nico Hoerner drove in a pair of runs and the Chicago Cubs beat the Toronto Blue Jays 7-5 to avoid a three-game sweep. Ian Happ and Zach McKinstry each had two hits as the Cubs snapped a five-game losing streak north of the border. Chicago went 15-15 in August, its first non-losing month this season. Alejandro Kirk hit a three-run homer and Cavan Biggio connected for a two-run shot for the Blue Jays, who are in position for an AL wild card but had their first losing month, going 13-14 in August. Tonight Seattle (Gilbert 10-5) at Detroit (Rodriguez 3-3), 1:10 p.m.                WSJM/WCSY 12:50 Kansas City (Mengden 0-0) at Chicago White Sox (Cueto 6-6), 2:10 p.m. Cubs are off MLB – Exhibition games start Feb 24 as MLB hopes for normal spring Major League Baseball’s exhibition season will start Feb. 24 with a pair of games in Arizona. All 30 teams are scheduled to play Feb. 25 as games start in Florida. Spring training was cut short in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and workouts were restricted the following year due to coronavirus protocols and stadium capacity was limited. Spring training workouts in 2022 were to have started on Feb. 16 but were delayed until March 11 by a lockout. MLB – WSox manager La Russa out indefinitely with health issue Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa is out indefinitely because of an unspecified health issue. The 77-year-old La Russa missed Tuesday night’s 9-7 loss to Kansas City on the recommendation of his doctors. The team says the Hall of Famer is scheduled to undergo additional testing in Arizona with his personal physicians “over the coming days.” Bench coach Miguel Cairo will continue to serve as acting manager while La Russa is out. WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – WNBA Semifinals (best of five) Tonight Chicago Sky 85, Connecticut Sun 77                                 (Series tied 1-1) Las Vegas Aces 78, Seattle Storm 73                                (Series tied 1-1) Sky 85, Sun 77 – Parker scores 22, Sky beat Sun 85-77 to even the series Candace Parker scored 22 points and the Chicago Sky evened the semifinal series with an 85-77 win over the Connecticut Sun in Game 2 of the WNBA playoffs. Chicago coach James Wade said pregame that Chicago was “going to make shots” Wednesday after a lackluster 35.3% shooting performance in Game 1. The Sky responded by hitting six of 10 shots to open the game, and finished the night 32 of 63 (50.8%). NCAAFB – College Football – Week 1 Tonight Central Michigan at (12) Oklahoma State, 7:00 p.m. NCAAFB – No. 12 Oklahoma State opens with Central Michigan Oklahoma State reached the Big 12 championship game last season and beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. The 12th-ranked Cowboys believe they can accomplish at least that much this season with veteran quarterback Spencer Sanders leading the way. Oklahoma State opens with Central Michigan on Thursday night. The Cowboys can’t afford to slip early, and they remember an upset loss to the Chippewas in 2016 that provided an unexpected blemish on a 10-3 season. Central Michigan returns last year’s national rushing leader, Lew Nichols III, from a team that went 9-4 and won the Sun Bowl. NCAAFB – AP sources: Presidents meeting to discuss CFP expansion The university presidents who oversee the College Football Playoff are scheduled to meet Friday to discuss expanding the four-team format. The presidents hope to accelerate a process that bogged down last year and re-open the possibility that a new model for crowning champion could be implemented as soon as the 2024 season. Two people familiar with the situation told The Associated Press the CFP’s Board of Managers, led by Mississippi State President Mark Keenum, is set to convene by video conference. All the people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the board’s plans were not being made public. NCAAFB – No. 5 Notre Dame faces defensive test against No. 2 Buckeyes No. 5 Notre Dame relishes the Saturday night challenge. It opens the season at No. 2 Ohio State against an offense that led the FBS in total offense and scoring last season and is only expected to get better in C.J. Stroud’s second season as starting quarterback. And if Notre Dame is going to defeat Ohio State for the first time since 1936, first-year coach Marcus Freeman knows what he needs — the defense to come up big against his alma mater. NCAAFB – Born a Buckeye: Ohio State prepared Freeman for Notre Dame Marcus Freeman was born and raised a Buckeye. He played at Ohio State, too, and worked there. Freeman says he wouldn’t be the head coach at Notre Dame at the age of 36 without the time he spent in Columbus, Ohio. Freeman is taking a trip home: The season opener for his fifth-ranked Fighting Irish is Saturday night at No. 2 Ohio State. Freeman’s peers say he’s ready for the challenges that come with being the head coach of Notre Dame. NCAA approves transfer windows and enforcement reforms The NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved changes to transfer rules and several proposals aimed at enforcement reforms. The proposed changes came from the Transformation Committee as part of the first phase of that group’s work. The changes to transfer rules will go into effect immediately. Sport-specific windows will be set during an academic year when athletes would be required to enter their names in the transfer portal to be eligible immediately to compete the following school year. On the enforcement side, the Independent Accountability Resolution Process will be eliminated. The NCAA’s outside enforcement task force to handle complex infractions cases has mostly slowed down the processing of cases. Tennis – US Open – Serena beats No. 2 seed Kontaveit at US Open to reach 3rd Rd Serena Williams has eliminated No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit 7-6 (4), 2-6, 6-2 in the U.S. Open’s second round to ensure that the 23-time Grand Slam champion will play at least one more singles match. The 40-year-old Williams has hinted this will be the last tournament of her illustrious career. Williams missed about a year of action before returning to the tour in late June at Wimbledon. She lost in the first round there and was 1-3 in 2022 entering the U.S. Open, where she is 2-0 so far this week. She beat Danka Kovinic in the first round before following that up against Kontaveit on Wednesday night in front of a full house at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Tennis – US Open – Tiger Woods shows up to support Serena Williams at US Open Serena Williams credits Tiger Woods with offering advice before she made her recent comeback from a year-long injury absence. Woods sat courtside at the U.S. Open on Wednesday night, throwing uppercuts in the stands to cheer Williams on to victory. Williams says Woods is "one of the reasons I’m here.” Woods was in Williams’ guest box at sold-out Arthur Ashe Stadium, two seats over from her sister, Venus. NFL – Bears claim OL Alex Leatherwood off waivers from Las Vegas The Chicago Bears have claimed offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood off waivers a day after the 2021 first-round draft pick was let go by the Las Vegas Raiders. Leatherwood was the No. 17 overall pick last year. The Alabama product struggled at right tackle before being moved to guard after four games. He had difficulties inside, too, and dropped on the depth chart this summer before Las Vegas let him go. NFL – Bears’ Smith says he’s focused on season, not contract talks Chicago Bears star linebacker Roquan Smith insists his focus is on the upcoming season and not his long-term future after a contract standoff with the team ended with no new deal. Smith says there won’t be any more negotiations with new general manager Ryan Poles on an extension between now and the start of the season. He also says he’s not focusing on whether he will re-sign with Chicago after the season. Smith hoped to strike a new deal, with the contract he signed after the Bears drafted him with the No. 8 overall pick in 2018 set to expire following this season. NFL – Lawyers bash Goodell-led arbitration in NFL racial bias suit Lawyers for three Black NFL coaches alleging racial bias by the league took aim directly at Commissioner Roger Goodell in their latest arguments against arbitrating a dispute they say belongs before a jury. In papers filed Wednesday in Manhattan federal court, the lawyers wrote that arbitration, which would be led by Goodell, would allow “unconscionably biased one-sided ‘kangaroo courts’" to decide the outcome of the lawsuit filed in February. They say Goodell could not be fair in overseeing and ruling on the dispute as to whether the league engages in systemic discrimination. They cited the hundreds of millions of dollars he earns from teams and his public statement that the suit is without merit. NFL – Gruden ‘ashamed’ about emails that cost him his job Former Raiders coach Jon Gruden says he is “ashamed” about his old offensive emails that cost him his job and hopes to get another chance in football. Gruden spoke publicly about the affair at the Little Rock Touchdown Club for the first time since he resigned as coach of the Raiders last October. The resignation followed the publication by The New York Times and Wall Street Journal of emails he had sent from 2011 to 2018 that contained racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments.

Die veertigjarige plaaslike speler, Serena Williams, speel môre teen die Australiër, Ajla Tomljanovic, in die derde ronde van die Amerikaanse Ope. Die Amerikaner, wat vroeër aangekondig het die toernooi sal haar swanesang wees, het die wêreld nommer twee, Anett Kontaveit van Estland, in die tweede ronde op 'n stampvol Arthur Ashe-stadion in New York uitgeskakel. Die 23-malige Grand Slam-toernooiwenner sê sy is tevrede met haar huidige vorm:

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der zweiten Sendung von den den US Open 2022. Auch dieses Mal stand alles unter dem Stern des Serena-Williams-Matches. Serenas Reise geht weiter Denn Williams konnte auch die zweite Runde erfolgreich gestalten, mit einem Sieg in drei Sätzen gegen Anett Kontaveit. Am Ende war Williams bei ihrem Aufschlag ein bisschen effektiver und zeigte abermals ihre verbesserte Beinarbeit im Vergleich zu den letzten Wochen. Mit dem Sieg übernimmt Williams nun auch die Setzung von Kontaveit. In der nächsten Runde geht es gegen Alja Tomljanovic. Danach könnte eine der Formspielerinnen überhaupt warten, nämlich Liudmila Samsonova. Die konnte am Mittwoch die US-Open-Finalistin aus dem letzten Jahr, Leylah Fernandez, besiegen. Andreescu und Garcia in guter Form Ein Höhepunkt der dritten Runde könnte das Duell zwischen Caroline Garcia und Bianca Andreescu werden. Andreescu gewann am Mittwoch beeindruckend klar gegen Beatriz Haddad Maia, während Carolina Garcia gar nichts anbrennen ließ gegen Anna Kalinskaya. Auch bei Madison Keys gegen Coco Gauff könnte in der dritten Runde am Freitag so einiges los sein. Medvedev locker - Auger-Aliassime draußen Bei den Herren kam Daniil Medvedev gegen Arthur Rinderknech gar nicht in Gefahr, für ihn geht es nun gegen den chinesischen Qualifikanten Wu Yibing. Der konnte sich in der zweiten Runde im Tiebreak des fünften Satzes gegen Nuno Borges durchsetzen. Auch im obersten Viertel unterwegs ist Nick Kyrgios, der in vier Sätzen gegen Benjamin Bonzi gewann. Pablo Carreno-Busta und Alex de Minaur konnten ebenfalls jeweils in vier Sätzen gewinnen. Das Aus kam hingegen für Felix Auger-Aliassime. Der hatte gegen Jack Draper nicht viele Chancen und konnte diese dann auch nicht nutzen. Ein spannendes Duell könnte es in der dritten Runde zwischen Andy Murray und Matteo Berrettini geben. Beide brauchten jeweils vier Sätze am Mittwoch, auch wenn es bei Berrettini um einiges enger war. Ein weiterer gesetzter Spieler, der es in die dritte Runde geschafft hat, ist Casper Ruud.

On Wednesday night, Serena Williams won her second round match against no. 2 ranked Anett Kontaveit, to advance in what could be the last pro tournament of her career. Earlier this month, Williams hinted that it might be time to say farewell to her illustrious tennis career. For two decades, the star has dominated the sport, winning 23 grand slam singles titles, 14 women's doubles and two mixed doubles slams. Cecil Harris, sports journalist and the author of 2020's Different Strokes: Serena, Venus and the Unfinished Black Tennis Revolution and the host of podcast All-American: Venus and Serena, explains why many say Williams is “the greatest of all time” in the tennis world.

Die 23-malige grand slam-kampioen, Serena Williams, is deur na die tweede ronde van die Amerikaanse Ope. Die 40-jarige speler het Danka Kovinic van Montenegro met 6-3 en 6-3 geklop. Onder die rekord-skare van 29 402 op die Arthur Ashe-stadion, was Amerika se oudpresident Bill Clinton en die bokser Mike Tyson. Williams, wat na die toernooi uittree, speel môre in die tweede ronde teen die tweede gekeurde Estlander, Anett Kontaveit. Die legendariese tennisspeler Billie Jean King het na die wedstryd hulde gebring aan Williams, en haar as vreesloos beskryf:

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge der ersten Ausgabe von den US Open 2022. Der erste Tag war zeitgleich auch der erste Teil der großen Serena Williams Show und bot darüber hinaus auch noch die ein oder andere Überraschung. Doch Andreas und Philipp beginnen natürlich mit Serena Williams und deren doch nicht letztem Match. Denn Williams konnte sich ziemlich souverän gegen Danka Kovinic durchsetzen. Das war zwar keine Leistung wie in der Blüte ihres Schaffens, doch Williams zeigte sich besser als in den letzten Wochen. Für sie geht es nun in der zweiten Runde gegen Anett Kontaveit. Die an Position 2 gesetzte Kontaveit gewann souverän gegen Jacqueline Christian. Die Überraschung des Tages bei den Damen war die Niederlage von Simona Halep gegen Daria Snigur. Halep tat sich sehr schwer mit dem flachen Spiel von Snigur und musste sich der jungen Ukrainerin in drei Sätzen beugen. Auch für Daria Kasatkina kam das Aus schon in der ersten Runde. Zwei faustdicke Überraschungen gab es bei den Herren. Denn sowohl Stefanos Tsitsipas als auch Taylor Fritz verloren schon zum Auftakt. Tsitsipas lag in seinem Match sogar schon mit 0:6 0:5 gegen Daniel Ehai Galan hinten. Zwar erarbeitete er sich noch mal einen Vorsprung im 4. Satz, doch letztlich verlor der hochgehandelte Tsitsipas mit 5:7 im vierten Durchgang. Die Niederlage von Taylor Fritz kam vielleicht sogar noch etwas überraschender. Denn Fritz verlor gegen seinen auf ATP-Ebene weitestgehend unerfahrenen Landsmann Brandon Holt. Der ist zwar ein erfolgreicher College Spieler und der Sohn von Tracy Austin, jedoch eigentlich nicht erfahren genug, um einen Spieler vom Kaliber Fritz bei den US Open zu schlagen. Souverän in die zweite Runde ist Daniil Medvedev eingezogen. Für Dominic Thiem kam hingegen das Aus in der 1. Runde gegen Pablo Carreno Busta. Trotzdem stehen die Zeichen wohl auf Besserung für den US Open Sieger von 2020. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Toronto Blue Jays 5, Chicago Cubs 4 – 11 Innings Tigers and White Sox were off Blue Jays 5, Cubs 4 – F/11 – Jansen homers, drives in winner in 11th as Jays beat Cubs Danny Jansen hit a three-run homer in the seventh inning and singled home the winning run in the 11th as the Toronto Blue Jays overcame a four-run deficit to defeat the Chicago Cubs 5-4. Jansen connected off Erich Uelmen for his 11th homer, then won it with a base hit to left field against Mark Leiter Jr. that scored Matt Chapman from second base and ended Toronto’s three-game skid. Toronto tied it 4-all in the eighth when Cavan Biggio hit a two-out double off Manuel Rodríguez and scored on Chapman’s single. The Cubs put runners at second and third with two outs in the 11th but Yimi Garcia struck out P.J. Higgins. Tonight Chicago Cubs (Stroman 3-6) at Toronto (Gausman 9-9), 7:07 p.m. Seattle (Kirby 5-3) at Detroit (Manning 1-1), 7:10 p.m.                        WSJM/WCSY 6:50 Kansas City (Singer 7-4) at Chicago White Sox (Giolito 10-7), 8:10 p.m. MLB – Cubs put Sampson, Steele on restricted list, add Little The Chicago Cubs have put right-hander Adrian Sampson and left-hander Justin Steele on the restricted list before their game at Toronto. Foreign nationals who aren’t vaccinated against COVID-19 aren’t allowed to enter Canada, save for limited exceptions that require a 14-day quarantine. Unvaccinated baseball players are placed on the restricted list, where they are not paid and do not accrue major league service time. Chicago added left-hander Brendon Little to begin the three-game series Monday night. Little was 3-3 with a 4.15 ERA in 29 relief appearances at Triple-A Iowa, recording one save in two chances. MLB – MLB players’ association trying to unionize minor leaguers The Major League Baseball Players Association is attempting to unionize minor leaguers, reversing decades of opposition. The players’ association says it is circulating union authorization cards among players with minor league contracts to form a separate bargaining unit from the big leaguers. While the average major league salary is above $4 million, players with minor league contracts earn as little as $400 a week during the six-month season. Signed cards from 30% of the estimated 5,000 to 6,500 minor leaguers would allow the union to file a petition to the National Labor Relations Board asking for an authorization election. Tennis – US Open – Serena Williams not done yet; wins 1st match at US Open Serena Williams has won her match in the first round of the U.S. Open. Williams beat Danka Kovinic 6-3, 6-3 under the lights in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Williams is a 23-time Grand Slam champion who turns 41 next month and has said she is ready to move on from her playing days. After her victory Monday night, Williams said she has been intentionally vague about whether the U.S. Open will be her last tournament — and wants to keep it that way. She will play again Wednesday in the second round of singles against No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit. Tennis – US Open – US Open champs Medvedev, Murray win; Ukrainian stuns Halep Daniil Medvedev had an easy start to his U.S. Open title defense, beating Stefan Kozlov 6-2, 6-4, 6-0. Simona Halep had another early exit, this time in a memorable first tour-level win for Ukrainian Daria Snigur, who upset the No. 7 seed 6-2, 0-6, 6-4. The top-seeded Medvedev looked just as strong as he did in sweeping past Novak Djokovic in last year’s final for his first major title. Andy Murray was another early winner, 10 years after winning the first of his three Grand Slam titles in Flushing Meadows. He beat No. 24 seed Francisco Cerundolo of Argentina 7-5, 6-3, 6-3. IIHF – US set for hockey showdown with Canada after routing Swiss The United States has warmed up for its group showdown with Canada by blitzing Switzerland 9-0 at the world women’s ice hockey championship in Denmark. The U.S. matched Canada with 3-0 records. Their Group A closer on Tuesday is also in Herning. It is expected to be a preview of the final on Sunday. Czechia also improved to its record to 3-0 after dominating winless Germany 6-0 in Group B. Finland got its first win at Japan’s expense by 9-3. Sweden confirmed a top-two place behind the Czechs after beating Hungary 3-2 in its second consecutive shootout win. NCAAFB – Harbaugh plans to start McNamara, McCarthy in opening games Jim Harbaugh has decided to start Big Ten championship-winning quarterback Cade McNamara when No. 8 Michigan opens its season Saturday at home against Colorado State. Harbaugh has chosen to give J.J. McCarthy the Wolverines’ first snap when they host Hawaii the following week. McNamara started every game last season as a junior, leading Michigan to a win over rival Ohio State for the first time in a decade and to its first Big Ten title since 2004. McCarthy played in 11 games last year as a highly touted freshman. NCAAFB – All-America OL Patterson questionable for Irish at No. 2 OSU Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman says offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson is questionable for the fifth-ranked Fighting Irish’s opener against No. 2 Ohio State. Patterson has been dealing with an injury to his right foot for about two weeks, but Freeman did expect the fifth-year senior to practice this week. Patterson was one of the best centers in the country last year for Notre Dame and a preseason All-American. He was listed as the starter at left guard on the Irish’s first depth chart of the season. NCAAFB – Ohio State QB C.J. Stroud: ‘I barely touched my potential’ C.J. Stroud was an untested freshman trying to win the starting quarterback job at Ohio State at this time last year. The 20-year-old California native is now a Heisman Trophy favorite as the 2022 season opens and is already projected to be a first-round NFL draft pick next year. He wants to win a national championship before he moves on. He knows Ohio State has the offensive fire power to do it. Stroud’s confidence and more vocal leadership displayed in the summer and in preseason camp impressed his teammates, who voted him a captain.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der Auslosungsvorschau für die US Open 2022. Nach all den verschiedenen Siegerinnen und Siegerin, die wir in den letzten Wochen auf der Tour erlebt haben, ist das 4. Grand Slam Turnier durchaus als offen zu betrachten. Medvedev früh gegen Kyrgios? Das Herrenfeld hat als Topgesetzten jedoch einen Altbekannten. Denn Daniil Medvedev hat das Turnier im letzten Jahr gewonnen und zwei Jahre zuvor das Finale erreicht. Er könnte schon recht früh auf Nick Kyrgios oder Roberto Bautista-Agut treffen. Auch im oberen Viertel befindet sich Felix Auger-Aliassime und der Montreal-Sieger Pablo Carreno-Busta. Auch zur oberen Hälfte gehören Stefanos Tsitsipas, Matteo Berrettini und Taylor Fritz. Die unter Hälfte wird angeführt von Rafael Nadal, hinter dessen Form jedoch auch dass ein oder andere Fragezeichen steht. Kann er die fehlende Matchpraxis mit Erfahrung wettmachen? Zu den anderen Topgesetzten in seiner Hälfte der Auslosung gehören unter anderem Carlos Alcaraz, Marin Cilic und Cameron Norrie. Wie gut drauf ist Iga Swiatek? Bei den Damen ist die Sache wie gewohnt noch ein bisschen offener. Hier führt die beste Spielerin des Jahres das Tableau an. Doch wird Iga Swiatek einen Weg durch die Auslosung finden? Sie könnte schon recht früh auf Amanda Anisimova oder Jelena Ostapenko treffen. Auch in der oberen Hälfte sind die Siegerin aus dem letzten Jahr, Emma Raducanu, die zweifache Gewinnerin Naomi Osaka und die Wimbledon-Siegerin Naomi Osaka. Der Abschied von Serena Williams Weit unten im vierten Viertel ist Serena Williams zu finden. Sie könnte schon sehr früh auf die an 2 gesetzte Anett Kontaveit treffen. Doch davor muss Williams erstmal gegen Danka Kovinic gewinnen. Auch Simona Halep ist einer der großen Namen in der unteren Hälfte. Sie könnte im Achtelfinale gegen einen anderen prominenten Namen spielen, Coco Gauff. Ebenso zu finden sind hier zwei der Formspielerinnen der letzten Wochen, Beatriz Haddad Maia und Carolina Garcia.

3 players who made the semifinals or better last week are already out this week; Pablo Carreno Busta, Beatriz Haddad Maia, and Dan Evans. Tennis is hard, you know? Meanwhile, Anett Kontaveit won a professional tennis match. Naomi Osaka did not win a professional tennis match. Simona Halep gets another W. Coco Gauff takes a tumble. Meddy didn't look great doing it, but he won a big-tournament professional tennis match for the first time in a while. The Williams sisters go 0/4 in sets won today and only one of those sets reached 5-5. Time marches on. If you get the title reference in the quotation marks, you get a cookie. And a cheese coney.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal unter anderem mit dem Turnier in Hamburg. Dort fand in diesem Jahr zum ersten Mal seit Jahrzehnten wieder ein kombiniertes Herren- und Damenturnier statt. Alcaraz verliert das Finale knapp Großer Star der Veranstaltung war dabei Carlos Alcaraz, der es auch bis ins Finale schaffte. Dort verlor er ein enges und spektakuläres Match gegen Lorenzo Musetti. Für den Italiener war es der erste große Titel seiner Karriere, während Alcaraz es knapp verpasste zum dritten Mal in dieser Saison ein 500-er Turner zu gewinnen. Alcaraz hatte schon vorher in der Woche einige enge Momente erwähnt, so zum Beispiel gegen Nicola Kuhn, als Alcaraz den Tiebreak des dritten Satzes brauchte, um letztlich zu gewinnen. Musetti bleibt nervenstark Auch Lorenzo Musetti hatte sich unter der Woche das ein oder andere Mal strecken müssen, um letztlich den Titel in Hamburg zu gewinnen. So gelangen ihm zum Beispiele Siege nacheinander gegen Alejandro Davidovich Fokina und Francisco Cerundolo. In der 1. Runde hatte er gar Matchbälle gegen Dusan Lajovic abwehren müssen. Für den an Platz 2 der Setzliste verzeichneten Andrey Rublev kam hingegen schon im Achtelfinale das Aus gegen Cerundolo. Bernarda Pera in Topform Bei den Damen in Hamburg ging der Titel an Bernarda Pera, die sich im Endspiel mit 6:2 6:4 gegen Annet Kontaveit durchsetzen konnte. Für Pera war es der zweite Titel in Folge. nachdem sie in der Vorwoche in Budapest hatte gewinnen können. Kontaveit hingegen zeigte Formfortschritte nachdem sie zuletzt länger an den Folgen einer Covid-Erkrankung zu kauen hatte. Die Wetranglisten-2. war hier mit einer Wildcard am Start gewesen. Im Viertelfinale hatte Kontaveit gegen Andrea Petkovic gewonnen, die jedoch wegen einer Verletzung im zweiten Satz aufgeben musste. Daria Kasatkina gibt bemerkenswertes Interview Auch ein paar News hat es in den letzten Tagen gegeben. So haben Naomi Osaka und Wim Fisette ihre Trennung bekannt gegeben und Daria Kasatkina ein aufsehenerregendes Interview gegeben. Außerdem gab es die Nachricht das wir beim Laver Cup alle Big 4 sehen werden und die ATP hat ihre Pläne für den Herbst veröffentlicht.

There was a morning after the night before feel to Day 3 at Wimbledon. Rain delayed the start of play by a couple of hours and when it eventually did begin, defeats for Emma Raducanu and Andy Murray dampened home spirits. In a podcast which goes in many directions, Catherine, David and Matt discuss those results and the press conferences which followed, as well as the rest of the day's stories, including a much better performance from Novak Djokovic, Anett Kontaveit's covid struggles, Garbine Muguruza's total lack of confidence, the wide open section in the men's draw, and unmissable aggro involving doubles partners Tamara Korpatsch and Harmony Tan.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der ersten Zusammenfassung aus Wimbledon. Das Herren-Draw komplett auseinandergefallen So viel ist passiert in den ersten beiden Tagen, dass sich Andreas und Philipp die Auslosungen noch mal in Gänze anschauen. Während Novak Djokovic und Rafael Nadal weitestgehend problemlos in die zweite Runde einzogen, erwischte es die meisten der Favoriten aus der zweiten Reihe. Matteo Berrettini und Marin Cilic konnten auf Grund von Covid gar nicht erst antreten. Hubert Hurkacz und Felix Auger-Aliassime hingegen verloren gegen schwierige Auftaktgegner. Während für Hurkacz das Ende gegen Alejando Davidovich Fokina kam, verlor Auger-Aliassime gegen Maxime Cressy. Auch Nick Kyrgios, Denis Shapovalov, Carlos Alcaraz und Stefanos Tsitsipas taten sich schwer. So sind Djokovic und Nadal wohl noch mehr favorisiert als ohnehin schon. Und die Chance ist recht hoch, dass wir darüber hinaus noch zwei Überraschungshalbfinalisten erleben werden. Etwas weniger Aderlass bei den Frauen Bei den Damen hatte zumindest Covid bisher keinen großen Einfluss auf die Auslosung. Doch auch hier ist das Tableau in Schwung gekommen. Wenig Probleme hatte Iga Swiatek, die ihren 36. Sieg in Serie einfahren konnte. Auch Simona Halep konnte klar gegen eine potentiell schwere Gegnerin gewinnen. Sie ließ Karolina Muchova beim 6:3 6:2 wenig Chancen. Coco Gauff hingegen entging nur ganz knapp einer überraschenden Niederlage gegen Elena Gabriele Ruse. Für die an 7 gesetzte Danielle Collins kam das Aus schon in der ersten Runde. Auch Camila Giorgi musste zum Auftakt die Segel streichen. Emma Raducanu konnte sich trotz der Verletzungsprobleme der letzten Wochen gegen Alison van Uytvanck durchsetzen. Für Angelique Kerber könnte es immer noch zum Duell mit Ona Jabeur in der vierten Runde kommen und Annet Kontaveit konnte sich in der ersten Runde gegen Bernada Pera durchsetzen. Sie trifft nun auf Jule Niemeier. Vorbei ist das Turnier hingegen schon für Belinda Bencic. Sie schied in drei Sätzen gegen Wang Qiang aus.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der Auslosungsvorschau auf Wimbledon. Durch den Ausschluss russischer und belarussischer Spielerinnen und Spieler und dem darauffolgenden Entzug der Weltranglistenpunkte findet Wimbledon in diesem Jahr unter anderen Voraussetzungen statt. Iga Swiatek, die Rasen-Unbekannte Das Damenfeld wird von der French Open Siegerin Iga Swiatek angeführt. Sie könnte in der vierten Runde auf Barbora Krejcikova treffen, wobei die ja gerade erst von einer längeren Verletzungspause zurückkehrt. In Swiateks Viertel finden sich auch noch Namen wie Garbine Muguruza, Binaca Andreescu und Jessica Pegula. Das offene zweite Viertel wird von Karolina Pliskova und Paula Badosa angeführt. Doch der Name auf den alle achten werden ist Serena Williams. Die könnte in der dritten Runde auf Pliskova treffen und danach zum Beispiel auf Coco Gauff. Angelique Kerber gehört in der unteren Hälfte zu den besten Rasenspielerinnen, für sie könnte es im Achtelfinale gegen die Berlin-Siegerin Ons Jabeur gehen. Auch Belinda Bencic und Annet Kontaveit finden sich hier. Djokovic der Topfavorit Der Favorit bei den Herren ist Novak Djokovic, der Dauersieger der letzten Jahre an der Church Road. Djokovic könnte im Viertelfinale auf Carlos Alcaraz treffen. Auch Andy Murray, Jannik Sinner und Oscar Otte befinden sich im Viertel des Weltranglisten-3. Der Halbfinalgegner von Djokovic könnte Hubert Hurkacz sein. Der Halle-Sieger ist hier an 7 gesetzt und auch wenn er eine durchaus fordernde Auslosung in der ersten Runde hat, so ist Hurkacz doch der Favorit, ins Halbfinale einzuziehen. Die untere Hälfte wird von Matteo Berrettini und Rafael Nadal angeführt. Während bei Nadal nicht ganz klar ist wie es um die Gesundheit des French Open Siegers steht, hat Berrettini zwei Vorbereitungsturniere gewonnen. In seinem dritten Viertel finden sich unter anderem noch Denis Shapovalov, Stefanos Tsitispas und Nick Kyrgios. Rafael Nadal könnte in der vierten Runde auf Marin Cilic treffen und in einem möglichen Viertelfinale auf Felix Auger-Aliassime.   Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?
