It was a strong day for the American men at Flushing Meadows as Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton and Alex Michelsen all booked their spots in the quarter-finals, but the performance of the day came from Carlos Alcaraz. Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts discuss it all. Part one - We start by analysing Alcaraz's win over Tommy Paul which saw him produce a phenomenal level. Does Alzaraz's form mean that David has changed his mind about what will happen when Alcaraz faces Shelton? We preview that match and discuss what, if anything, Shelton will have to do to win. There's also discussion of Tiafoe's amazing victory over Daniil Medvedev and the incredible scenes on the Louis Armstrong Stadium as Tiafoe maintained his 100% record on that court. Part two (37:21) - We discuss Aryna Sabalenka's straight-sets win over Taylor Townsend. Why was the match a bit disappointing? And did we learn much about Sabalenka ahead of her quarter-final against Linda Noskova? There's a review of Noskova's gripping win over Marta Kostyuk which saw her choke and win anyway once again. We also look ahead to Jessica Pegula vs Emma Navarro after both players won through. Part three (56:30) - A look ahead to Monday's order of play, which includes a surprising men's match on the Arthur Ashe Stadium as well as Zheng Qinwen vs Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka vs Elena Rybakina.Thank you to Steve Furgal's International Tennis Tours Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast, the Premium Hospitality and Experience provider for supporting our US Open coverage.They can organise your dream tennis-watching experience at the biggest tournaments in the world, inducing the WTA Finals held this year at Indian Wells, 8th-15th November.Just go to Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast and use the code DEUCE5 at checkout for 5% off.5% off select WTA Finals packages with code DEUCE5 at tours4tennis.com/podcast.

Part two (33:08) - We discuss the way Felix Auger-Aliqssime and Lorenzo Musetti both wilted in the heat, another tough loss for Alex De Minaur, the end of Gael Monfils' Grand Slam career, and why Taylor Fritz is so convincing at the moment.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts gather at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre at the end of the fourth day of action at the US Open, which saw Carlos Alcaraz produce the best tennis of the men's tournament so far, and Aryna Sabalenka show signs of tension off the court, while winning serenely on it. Part One - We discuss Carlos Alcaraz's four set win over Jaime Faria. How is it possible that he's playing this well after 5 months on the sidelines with a wrist injury? Will he be able to keep it up when the draw throws tougher challenges his way? Meanwhile, Ben Shelton continues his bumpier progress through the draw and Frances Tiafoe gets a straight setter on the board, but 12th seed Rafael Jodar suffers a shocking defeat. Part Two (29:13) - Aryna Sabalenka was untroubled in her second round match on Arthur Ashe Stadium but she remains in combative mood in the press conference room. Elsewhere Jessica Pegula and Karolina Muchova notched up one sided victories, while Paula Badosa setup an intriguing second round clash with title favourite Coco Gauff. Part Three (47:44) - Hot off the press we dig into Carlos Alcaraz's press conference comments that he plans to take longer breaks in his schedule from now on, since the requirements of the ATP calendar are currently ‘impossible'. Will this finally shock the ATP into action? Plus a breakdown of Thursday's order of play and what to look out for on another jam packed schedule.Thank you to Steve Furgal's International Tennis Tours Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast, the Premium Hospitality and Experience provider for supporting our US Open coverage.They can organise your dream tennis-watching experience at the biggest tournaments in the world, inducing the WTA Finals held this year at Indian Wells, 8th-15th November.Just go to Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast and use the code DEUCE5 at checkout for 5% off.5% off select WTA Finals packages with code DEUCE5 at tours4tennis.com/podcast.

We react to Zverev's win over Lorenzo Sonego, including the dazzling tennis played at times by the Italian, the lateness of it all, and whether Zverev has played himself into form or not. Elsewhere, we cover Flavio Cobolli's first ever comeback from two sets down and a win for the incomparable Gael Monfils on his 40th birthday. Part two (28:51) - We discuss Coco Gauff's first round victory over Zeynep Sonmez and how it revealed the tough viewing experience for tennis fans inside the Arthur Ashe stadium at night. Plus, a nervy opening win for Madison Keys, a better-than-expected performance from Elena Rybakina, a strong start for Alexandra Eala, and a big win for Yulia Putintseva over Belinda Bencic in a match where Bencic was fortunate not to be defaulted.

After spending the day in the US Open press conference room, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to what the top players had to say as they prepare for the tournament. Part one - We discuss the way Carlos Alcaraz left us feeling positive about his return from injury, detailing that his wrist has felt fine in practice, that he's using his experience of being injured in 2024 to help him, and that he plans to play his usual game style. So what can we expect from him this tournament? There's also chat about how the other men's contenders - such as Ben Shelton, Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz - are largely playing down any talk of this being a big opportunity with Jannik Sinner not in the draw. What do we make of that? Part two (22:10) - On the women's side, defending champion Aryna Sabelenka has been struggling for form recently. In what way was she defensive about that in her press conference? And can we read anything into it?

Arthur Fils has been arriving for a while, but this was his biggest destination yet. A first Masters 1000 title with a victory over Frances Tiafoe on home soil in the process takes some doing. Where does that put him in the Mix for the US Open? Part two - ATP (28.14 - 49:48). Coco Gauff has been here before - finding form in Cincinnati and then taking it into New York and winning it all.

Catherine, David and Matt assembled live on YouTube to react to the dual news from the last 24 hours that Carlos Alcaraz will be making his long-awaited comeback at the US Open, while Jannik Sinner has withdrawn due to his ongoing knee injury. Part one (00:00 - 48:10) - We discuss how we're feeling about another slam without both Sinner and Alcaraz there, the strange season that Sinner has had, our expectations of Alcaraz in New York, and what this all means for the rest of the draw. Who will benefit most from Sinner's absence? Is it mad for Alcaraz to be the favourite? And is this the time for another American man to finally win a major? Part two (48:11 - 56:28) - We cover the concern surrounding Elena Rybakina after she pulled up with an injury against Iga Swiatek in Cincinnati. What does this mean for her No.1 prospects?

Catherine, David and Matt catch up as Cincinnati reaches the quarter-finals stage after a Last 16 bonanza which saw both top seeds lose. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 26:35). We react to yet another early exit for Aryna Sabalenka, this time to the impressive Sara Beljek. We discuss what Bejlek did well but also what is going on with Sabalenka. How much trouble is she in heading into New York? There's also chat about Elena Rybakina's chance to seize the World No.1 Ranking, and whether Amanda Anisimova can finally get a win over Jessica Pegula after finding her best form to beat Alex Eala and Linda Noskova. Part two - ATP (26:36 - 46:36). Taylor Fritz is the only Masters 1000 champion left in the field following Alexander Zverev's loss from match point up against Tommy Paul. How much of a concern is Zverev's form ahead of the US Open?

Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn this episode of Bases at the Barge Part Two, the host sets the scene amid nearby military bases before Max shares his personal story, beginning with his childhood in Brighton and Lewes, England, and a brief period living near alleged jump rooms in Los Angeles. He describes early occult family influences, recurring out-of-body experiences, and later realizations about trauma-based mind control techniques refined by Nazi doctors with input from non-human entities, creating dissociative alters programmed for specific purposes. Max recounts recovered memories of childhood rituals at a swimming pool complex, involvement in breeding programs, a severe 2008 crisis when multiple alters surfaced leading to assault, hospitalization, and what he believes was a reprogramming stay, as well as his ongoing deprogramming work. The session continues with audience questions exploring bloodlines, time manipulation, CERN, elite pedophilia as energy harvesting, DNA alterations, spirituality, and the potential activation of sleeper programs, offering a raw and detailed account of his experiences and broader interpretations of hidden agendas.

Part two (32:35 - 42:51) - A few other stories from the men's event including Arthur Fery's winning return, Taylor Fritz's quickest-ever racquet smash, and a new entry into the long list of wild Arthur Rinderknech moments.

Catherine, David and Matt were live on Friday night to look back on the the last few days in Canada, with Iga Swiatek winning her first title in almost a year and Ben Shelton defending his crown. Part one - WTA Toronto (00:00 - 36:02). Is Swiatek back? We discuss how she finally played the brand of tennis she's been working towards with Francisco Roig, the reason she called out the haters in her victory speech, and how a crucial win over Elina Svitolina in the semi-finals set her on the way to the title. There's also analysis of her dominant display over Elena Rybakina in the final and chat about her excellent celebrations with Elway, the tournament dog. Part two - ATP Montreal (36:03 -54:55). We cover the brilliant tennis played by Shelton all week, try to make sense of his up and down season, and wonder what it all means heading into the US Open. Plus, a word on Brandon Nakashima who continues to play the best tennis of his career, and who randomly decided to hate on Toronto in his post-match speech. Part three (54:56 - 1:35:14). We look ahead to Cincinnati and discuss who it could be a big tournament for, including Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic. We then hear from Jack Draper as he opens up about the immense physical, mental and emotional toll of his chronic injury. Finally, in light of some findings from the PTPA and a statement from the ATP, we debate the big picture of injuries in tennis.

Night Gallery Season 3 Episode 12 Death on a Barge
Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comIn this rare 2015 Bases at the Barge event, held at Coronation Hall, Max Spiers and Sarah Adams share their personal experiences as alleged program participants connected to James Casbolt. The evening opens with the host explaining the venue change from the previous year, the sensitive nature of the material, and some background on crop circles, time-space anomalies, and reported underground activity. Miriam then leads a short grounding to create a safe space for the speakers.Sarah begins by describing her unusual childhood split between France and the United States, her family's noble bloodlines, time spent around military bases, and an extreme, isolated upbringing that she believes was designed to push certain abilities to the surface. Together with Max, she discusses targeted programs that place selected children under intense emotional stress, the existence of pocket dimensions and multiple frequency layers, and systems that allegedly harvest human energy. The conversation moves into her memories of Mars, nuclear conflicts that affected multiple dimensions, and how advanced beings supposedly came to depend on life-force energy taken from humans—particularly children. They also explore ideas around soul recycling involving the Moon and Saturn, the way movies often encode the same information, and the broader planetary shift that is bringing greater public awareness.Throughout the talk the pair field questions from the small audience on interdimensional beings, soul attachments, patterns of abuse, and practical ways people can respond in the present lifetime through creativity, subtle-energy awareness, and waking up rather than waiting for death. The atmosphere remains relaxed and conversational, offering a raw and wide-ranging look at topics that were still largely underground in 2015.
Catherine, David and Matt catch up on the weekend's action in Canada with Toronto and Montreal both at the quarter-finals stage. Part one (00:00 - 15:07) Before we get to Canada, we start with the disappointing news that Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from Cincinnati due to a knee injury. How concerning is this? And what could it mean for the US Open? Part two (15:08 - 49:22) WTA Toronto. There's chat about Aryna Sabalenka's slump continuing, the challenge facing Ekaterina Alexandrova as she attempts to back up that win against Elina Svitolina, an unconvincing display from Elena Rybakina as she looks to close the gap to World No.1, a remarkable turnaround from Iga Swiatek to beat Marta Kostyuk, Alexandra Eala finally hitting the wall, and impressive performances from both Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka. Part three (49:23 - 1:26:11) ATP Montreal. A last eight made up entirely of players born in the 2000s, the most enticing match up sees Arthur Fils go up against Rafael Jodar. We discuss Fils lighting it up against Cameron Norrie, Jodar's destructive return of serve, and what might happen in that one. Plus, there's a review of Ben Shelton beating Joao Fonseca, Brandon Nakashima's quiet run of form since hiring Wayne Ferreira, and predictions.

Catherine, David and Matt react to the first few days of action across Canada as the men's top seeds fall by the wayside. Part one (00:00 - 44:35) Unfortunately we start with an update on the abundance of injury news on the ATP Tour, including Carlos Alcaraz delaying his comeback and withdrawing from Cincinnati, as well as reports in Italy that Jannik Sinner is dealing with a knee issue. What do we make of all that? The tournament in Montreal hasn't been immune to injury woe either and we discuss the sad withdrawal of Felix Auger-Aliassime and the crushing scene of Jack Draper in tears on court. Moving on to the actual tennis, there's chat about Alexander Zverev losing to Tallon Griekspoor, a win for Boric van de Zandschulp over Daniil Medvedev, another opportunity missed by Alex de Minaur, a second straight win for Rafael Jodar over the returning Lorenzo Musetti, and our picks for the title from here. Part two (44:46 - 1:01:45) While the men's event in Montreal has been defined by big names going out, there hasn't been many upsets in Toronto, except for Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova losing to Caty McNally. We discuss that result, Aryna Sabalenka doing enough to keep her No.1 ranking, and more incredible scenes at Alexandra Eala's matches. There's also reaction to Amanda Anisimova's dramatic win over Nikola Bartunkova and a look ahead to some of the blockbuster matches which have been set up. Part three (1:01:46 - 1:16:32) We discuss the first comments from players about the new WTA genetic sex testing policy and take a look at what the WTA appointing IMG as its production partner for broadcast could mean.

For this episode, Catherine, David and Matt are joined in the Wimbledon library by Matt Futterman to talk about his new book, The Cruelest Game. The book is an in-depth and up-close look at the sport's modern era, its stars, and what it takes to succeed in professional tennis. Using his incredible access, Matt speaks to players and team members on his quest to empathetically figure out why the sport seems to take such a toll on everyone and whether there are any secret codes that will allow players to thrive at the summit of this brutal game.With chapters dedicated to most of the sport's top players, Matt explores the individual paths taken by them, as well as the unique and shared challenges they all face as tennis emerges from the era of The Big 3 and Serena Williams. We speak to Matt about his inspiration for writing the book, some of the most memorable conversations he had over the past three years while working on it, and the recurring themes such as parent-child coaching dynamics and what makes tennis stand out from other sports when it comes to the price paid by its athletes. The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis comes out on Tuesday August 4th 2026 or is available for pre-order now, with the audiobook read by Catherine.

It's wedding season, it's holiday season and it's moving house season, but tennis never stops so Catherine, David and Matt are here to react to the latest results and news since Wimbledon. Part one - We cover a big week for Stefanos Tsitsipas who won the title in Gstaad. Could this help to revitalise him? And will it be validation for ending his coaching relationship with his father?

For one last time at Wimbledon in 2026, Catherine, David and Matt were live on YouTube to react to Jannik Sinner beating Alexander Zverev 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-4 to defend his title at SW19. We discuss the way Zverev hit his forehand better than ever to take a one set lead, how Sinner stayed calm to raise his game and level up, and the final two sets which saw the Italian take charge. Should Zverev take the positives from pushing Sinner more than he has done in a while? Or will the fact he still fell short mean this one stings just as much? As for Sinner, we cover the importance of this title for his career as he bounced back from such disappointment at Roland Garros, and what the next few months could look like for him as Carlos Alcaraz's future remains uncertain. We also round up the day's other results, reflect on the tournament as a whole, and say lots of big thank yous as our Wimbledon coverage concludes for another year.

Catherine, David and Matt were live moments after Linda Noskova became Wimbledon champion, defeating her Czech compatriot Karolina Muchova 6-2 5-7 6-3 in what became a dramatic final. We start by discussing the important moments in the match; Noskova's sublime performance at the start to build a 6-2 5-2 lead, the choke which saw her lose five match points across three games and be taken to a third set, and her remarkable reset to then win that deciding set. How did Noskova pull it all off? How surprising was Muchova's slow start? And what might the future hold for both Noskova and Muchova? We also run through the day's other results, discuss Henry Patten standing up for doubles, and look ahead to tomorrow's men's final between Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev.

Patrick K. O'Donnell, guest author, recounts how, in 1863, Richard Blazer emerged as an unlikely Union hero, leading "Blazer's Scouts," also known as the Legion of Honor. A former barge driver who was often disheveled on the parade ground, Blazer possessed a unique talent for "hunting people." His unit functioned as the first modern hunter-killer team in the U.S. Army, specifically tasked with neutralizing Confederate partisans in the rugged mountains of West Virginia. Blazer integrated veterans from the Jesse Scouts and utilized their specialized tradecraft, including riding in enemy uniforms to conduct deep reconnaissance. Their primary targets were the Thurman brothers, ruthless bushwhackers who led the Thurman Rangers in attacks against Union supply lines and the vital B&O Railroad. This conflict was exceptionally brutal; the Thurmans were known for executing prisoners, which meant Blazer's men often fought with the knowledge they would not survive capture. Operating under General Averell, the scouts acted as the "eyes" of the army, conducting battlefield reconnaissance and leading raids against Confederate supply routes. Blazer's success was built on sophisticated "detective work," where he interviewed slaves, children, and civilians to build a mosaic of Confederate hiding spots. This segment highlights how the Union transitioned from standard infantry tactics to specialized counter-insurgency operations to protect the buffer zone of the newly formed state of West Virginia.
