Podcast appearances and mentions of Ben Shelton

Catherine, David and Matt react to Serena Williams' singles return as she lost in three sets on Centre Court to Maya Joint. In what way did this match and occasion actually exceed our expectations? How did Joint manage to overcome her nerves to play so well and win? Would playing a warm-up tournament have helped Serena? And what might the rest of her summer look like? We then wrap up the other women's results including an emotional Iga Swiatek passing a difficult test as defending champion against Taylor Townsend, Madison Keys and Elena Rybakina both surviving despite inconsistent displays, a shock defeat for Elina Svitolina, and a brilliant comeback by Jasmine Paolini. In part two (47:30), we turn our attention to the men's draw and Taylor Fritz's blazer, Ben Shelton's big missed opportunity, and a special win for Matteo Berrettini in four tiebreaks over Stan Wawrinka. We end by looking ahead to the Day 3 Order of Play (1:13:14). For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.

Grass season is about halfway done, and I don't know what's going on with the WTA (wishing them luck). Big results for Noskova – who just debuted in the top 10 – plus Robin Montgomery, Ben Shelton, Donna Vekic, and the Frans! The news that Serena Williams received the remaining Wimbledon singles wild card trumped everything this week, while her husband hung out at Trump's UFC abomination. Recent Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova was given a 4-year suspension for refusing a doping test in December, a decision that will almost certainly be appealed. Lastly, we give some final thoughts on the Knicks and go down the Stevie rabbit hole again. 1:00 Yep, that singles wild card was for #thismama  14:10 Berlin bagel + it was a good week to be a Fran 24:30 Previous week's results: s-'Hertogenbosch, Stuttgart, Queen's 27:30 Diving into Marketa Vondrousova's 4-year suspension  36:30 Alexis, your presence wasn't actually required 40:50 Corentin Moutet gives up his prize money for what, exactly? 43:00 Catching up with the Knicks and Victor Wembanyama  48:20 Remembering Peabo and igniting the Stevie discussion again

Serena Williams is returning to singles at Wimbledon 2026 — and Andy Roddick has thoughts. Andy also breaks down the American grass rundown: Tiafoe over Fritz, Tommy Paul and Wimbledon dark horses & Markéta Vondrousová's reported 4-year suspension for a missed drug test. Jon Wertheim checks in with the biggest news ahead of the third major of the year: Dan Evans wild card snub, Corentin Moutet's F-bomb fine, Coco Gauff's quiet win on player surveillance cameras, Ben Shelton splits from IMG & Tennis documentary season: "Aces" on Prime + the Chris Evert/Martina Navratilova "Final Set" on Netflix.

Hanlon Walsh joins the podcast to discuss the top storylines heading into a Wimbledon, with uncertainty reigning supreme among both tours. Walsh looks at the American men led by Ben Shelton and Taylor Fritz, and examines whether Tommy Paul and Frances Tiafoe can continue to thrive on the grass. The writer for Tennis Tribe discusses whether Aryna Sabalenka is poised for a bounce back at The All England Club, explains why he Jessica Pegula is ready to for a deep major run, and weighs in on Serena Williams' much-anticipated return alongside her sister Venus. Walsh also reflects on how he became a diehard tennis fan, and how that journey led him to becoming a very credible member of the tennis media. The journalist dives into the place doubles has in the pro game, and what really makes the game exciting and entertaining. And Walsh looks at Katerina Siniakova's brilliance, as she climbs up the all-time doubles ranks. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Ben Shelton continued his breakout 2026 season by winning the Stuttgart grass-court title, defeating fellow American Taylor Fritz 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 in the final. It was Shelton's first ATP title on grass and his third trophy of the season after earlier successes on hard courts and clay. The title run was anything but straightforward. Shelton survived multiple three-set battles during the week, including a dramatic semifinal victory over Jiří Lehečka in which he saved two match points before prevailing in a final-set tiebreak. With Wimbledon approaching, Shelton's ability to win on all three major surfaces has elevated him into the group of genuine contenders for a deep run in London. Kamil Majchrzak completed a dream week in 's-Hertogenbosch by claiming the first ATP Tour title of his career. The Pole's run included victories over top players, highlighted by wins against Felix Auger-Aliassime and Daniil Medvedev. Majchrzak reached the final after upsetting Medvedev in straight sets and then completed his remarkable tournament by lifting the trophy, a breakthrough achievement for the 30-year-old. His grass-court form makes him one of the more dangerous unseeded players heading into Wimbledon qualifying and draw discussions. The first week of ATP grass-court action produced two major storylines: Shelton has shown he can transfer his explosive serve and aggressive baseline game to grass, making him a legitimate threat at Wimbledon. Majchrzak's confidence is at a career high after securing his first ATP title and multiple top-level victories. This week's ATP 500 event in Halle serves as one of the strongest Wimbledon tune-ups. Historically, the tournament has favored elite servers and aggressive all-court players. The field is expected to feature many of the tour's leading grass-court performers as they continue preparations for the Championships. Players to watch include: Jannik Sinner, who has been one of the dominant forces of 2026. Ben Shelton, arriving with momentum from Stuttgart. Other Wimbledon contenders looking to fine-tune their grass-court games. The ATP 500 event at Queen's Club traditionally offers one of the clearest indicators of Wimbledon form. The fast conditions reward big serving, aggressive returning, and efficient net play. Key questions entering the week: Can the top contenders quickly adapt from clay to grass? Will a player such as Shelton continue his surge? Which established grass-court specialists will emerge as serious Wimbledon threats? Bottom line: Shelton leaves Stuttgart looking like one of the hottest players on tour, while Majchrzak's maiden ATP title is one of the feel-good stories of the grass season. The spotlight now shifts to Halle and Queen's, where the final pecking order for Wimbledon will begin to take shape. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Tennis: Die Noorweër Casper Ruud glo Jannik Sinner word nie altyd behoorlik waardeer nie. Die wêreld-nommer-een mik na 'n sesde agtereenvolgende Meesters-een-duisend-titel in die Italiaanse Ope in sy geboorteland. Sinner se wenvooruitsigte het verbeter toe al sy hoë-gekeurde uitdagers, Novak Djokovic, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Ben Shelton en Alex de Minaur, uitgeskakel is. Ruud sê Sinner kan geklop word, maar dan moet hulle hom op 'n af-dag raakloop:

Nick is back from a birthday recharge in Wales and we're getting into Rome. Sinner is playing in all-black Gucci and closing in on the Career Masters at 24. Arthur Fils, Ben Shelton, Fonseca, and FAA are all out or struggling three weeks before Roland Garros. Sabalenka looks beatable for the first time in a while, Iga might be back, and the WTA field has gotten very wide open very fast.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge, dieses Mal mit dem Turnier in Madrid. Wie durchaus häufiger, gab es einige Überraschungen in Madrid, sind die Bedingungen hier doch gänzlich andere als bei vielen Sandplatzturnieren. Gerade als zum Beispiel in Rom und in Paris. Bei den Damen ging der Titel an Marta Kostyuk, die erstmals überhaupt in einem großen Finale stand und dort siegreich blieb gegen Mirra Andreeva. Für Kostyuk war es eine Traumwoche. Sie überzeugte in jedem Match, zeigte die ganze Vielfalt in ihrem Spiel und holte den Titel letztzlich ohne große Probleme. Ihre Finalgegnerin Andreeva hatte zwischendrin mehr zu kämpfen. ...

If you are a brand experiencing massive growth, your first instinct might be to just keep doing exactly what you've been doing.  Luckily for Thorne consumers, Mary Beech, the brand's chief growth officer, and Ivan Kayser, the CEO of Redscout, refuse to do anything but. In this episode, we're taking a fly-on-the-wall look at how Beech, Kayser and their teams worked together to define Thorn''s brand identity based on two key insights stemming from their joint brand research: the importance of Thorn''s clinical, scientific rigor and the consumer's deep desire for personalization.  They also share the secret behind their highly successful client-agency partnership, which starts with early morning breakfasts in Brooklyn, creating crystal-clear briefs and a simple golden rule: Don't hire jerks. Both Beech and Kayser also discuss their take on the brands that have successfully transitioned from challenger brands to innovative leaders within their industries simply by "breaking the rules.” The sound bite "Authenticity comes first versus fame." The stories Lana Condor and Misty Copeland tackle once-taboo topics in Thorne's new campaign Ciara and Thorne ‘level up' creatine marketing with new stigma-busting campaign Thorne debuts on-the-go products through cinema-esque ad featuring Ben Shelton The key takeaways Don't settle for complacency. Innovate for the benefit of the consumers. When a brand is experiencing high growth, the instinct is often to just repeat the exact same tactics. However, marketers should take the time to extract the underlying strategic lessons of why those tactics worked, which allows the brand to diversify its marketing mix and experiment with intentionality. Differentiate between category table stakes and true brand differentiators. Consumers will often state that certain product features like scientific excellence and rigor are essential. But what's important to the consumer does not always fuel brand differentiation. Marketers must position the brand against the insights that actually drive preference and interest. Define the brand's “vibe” for the upper funnel. Lower funnel marketing can easily rely on specific claims, product stats or transactional hooks. However, when shifting spend to upper funnel awareness, the messaging gets "vibier," requiring the brand to be crystal clear on exactly what they are communicating to the consumer. Design brand strategy for daily execution. A strategic positioning is useless if it just looks great on a wall or sits in a drawer. Brand strategy must have an orientation toward execution, providing tangible guardrails, messaging guidelines and tone directions so the creative teams can actually run with the work. Establish a strict “order of operations” for messaging. To maintain a cohesive strategy across all touchpoints, establish clear rules for how the brand speaks. For Thorne, the strategy was “know me, show me,” meaning the brand had to prove it had an understanding of the consumer first, and only then provide the scientific proof points in response. Target potential advocates, not just viable buyers. When conducting audience research, the goal should not just be finding out who you could target, but who you should target. Marketers should look for consumers whose behaviors, identities and motivations make them natural advocates and referrers for the brand. Prioritize relatability over sheer fame. When choosing brand ambassadors, avoid using celebrities simply as a stamp of quality or relevance. Thorne tapped into talent including Misty Copeland, Lana Candor and Ben Shelton, who have authentic stories and personal journeys of product discovery that the target audience can relate to and feel seen by. Build the brand foundation before bringing in talent. Launching a foundational brand campaign without a celeb forces the marketing team to crystallize their tone and message independently. By not letting talent become the foundation, the brand builds a strong core that subsequent ambassador campaigns can securely build upon. Treat agencies as an extension of your internal team. Brands should approach hiring agency partners with the same mindset as hiring internal employees. Rather than just chasing agencies with awards, hire nice, smart people who will make the team and the work better. As Beech states, “I don't hire jerks.” Avoid “garbage in, garbage out” briefs. Agencies cannot be expected to work miracles if the client hasn't defined the core problem first. Marketers must take the time to thoroughly prepare a brief, defining exactly what they want out of the work and what the expected business impact should be before handing it off to creative partners. campaignlive.com Music - Take you Out by Lucid Tides, courtesy of Triple Scoop.

4-time Grand Slam Champion Kim Clijsters sits down with Roland Garros champion and Italian tennis icon Francesca Schiavone for a candid conversation about life on and off the tour. They revisit their years on the circuit: the intense training, the competitiveness, and the loneliness of tennis. Francesca also shares her 2019 cancer diagnosis, how her discipline as an athlete helped her through chemotherapy, and the role her family, wife, and close friend Flavia Pennetta played in her recovery. Today, Schiavone is fully active in the game, running her Schiavone Team Lab academy near Milan and coaching 18-year-old one-handed backhand talent Lilli Tagger, who she believes has Grand Slam potential.  Kim also discusses her Roland Garros favorites for 2026, making a strong case for why Rybakina belongs in the conversation alongside Sabalenka and Coco Gauff. She breaks down Ben Shelton's serve variety and why it's becoming a weapon even on clay, and reacts to a 19-year-old qualifier stunning everyone at her very first WTA tour event.  Welcome to Love All!

The Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare joins the podcast for a wide-ranging topic of the pro game, and to discuss how he became one of the prominent journalists covering tennis. Eccleshare reacts to the news of Carlos Alcaraz's wrist injury and what it means for both the Spaniard and the ATP's top players who can make their move on the clay. The senior writer also recaps the titles won by Arthur Fils and Ben Shelton, and analyzes whether Joao Fonseca, Rafael Jodar or other young players can seize the moment on the dirt. Eccleshare also weighs in on Elena Rybakina's victory in Stuttgart, and examines Aryna Sabalenka's schedule as she aims for her first Roland Garros title. The journalist discusses Iga Swiatek's potential to reclaim her throne in Paris, and gives out his list of contenders as clay season continues. And Eccleshare dives into several topics he's written extensively about, such as tennis player "wearables" and the validity of the underarm serve. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Arthur Fils caps his successful comeback to the tour with the Barcelona crown, while official tennis outlets act h-word on main while they trade on his good looks. Ben Shelton wins his first clay title outside of Texas and marks a surprising milestone for US men. Clay queens Coco and Iga are down bad while Elena, Karolina, and Marta soar; and Carlos' status is questionable for who knows how long. Finally, we talk about the news that interests me most: Marketa Vondrousova has been charged with refusing to give a sample to a doping control officer. Her social media posts about the incident provide interesting context but – as we've seen before – could come back to bite.  2:15 Arthur Fils is the truth! 8:55 Rybakina wins Stuttgart again, Muchova exorcises some demons 14:00 Join Elena's crypto community …  18:35 Ben Shelton, American king of clay? 26:35 Vondrousova's case 37:40 James talks about books and takes another quiz!

This week Erik and Aidan recap the tournaments that happened this past week in Barcelona and Munich, as well as looking forward to the upcoming Madrid Masters and Roland Garros tournaments. With Carlos Alcaraz pulling out, it seems as though Sinner is set up for great success at this tournament, which would be his fifth straight Masters title if he is able to perform. In Barcelona, Arthur Fils showed his injury hiatus has not slowed him down, defeating Andrey Rublev in the final. In Munich, Ben Shelton collected his second clay title, perhaps raising questions about how he may be able to do at the French Open this summer.

Part one - WTA (00:00 - 32:07). We start with Elena Rybakina's title in Stuttgart which takes her to the top of the WTA Race for 2026. What were the keys to her victory? How did she come through an extraordinary match with Leylah Fernandez? And what might this mean for the rest of the clay court swing? There's also chat about Karolina Muchova's brilliant run and another loss from a set up for Iga Swiatek. But were there some positive signs for Swiatek in her defeat to Mirra Andreeva? Over in Rouen, we cover Marta Kostyuk's victory in an all-Ukrainian final against Veronika Podrez. Part two - ATP (32:08 - 1:05:08). Arthur Fils is a title winner again and David is a very happy man! We discuss Fils' level to beat Lorenzo Musetti, Rafael Jodar and Andrey Rublev in Barcelona before David makes a very big prediction. In Munich, we analyse Ben Shelton's improvement on clay and an emotional week for Flavio Cobolli. Part three - News and Madrid preview (1:05:09 - 1:28:49). We cover the news that Marketa Vondrousova is facing investigation for refusing a doping test before looking through the Madrid draws. How concerning is Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal?

Daily Nuggets von sportradio360.de: Weltmeisterschaften, Olympia, der Betrieb auf der ATP-Tour - hier kommt der Deep Dive vom Producer Jens Huiber mit ausgewählten Experten, die mindestens knietief in der Materie stehen. Jeden Montag und Dienstag neu.

Catherine and Matt are together for a mid week catch up with events in Stuttgart, Barcelona, Munich and Rouen in full swing. Part one - ATP (00:00 - 34:41). How concerning is Carlos Alcaraz's withdrawal from Barcelona with a wrist injury? We react to his press conference and discuss the difficulty of his clay court season scheduling. Elsewhere in Barcelona, Lorenzo Musetti has picked up some much-needed wins and now plays Arthur Fils, while Rafael Jodar has become the favourite for the title. In Munich, there's excitement ahead of Joao Fonseca vs Ben Shelton but also more dispiriting Stefanos Tsitsipas scenes. Part two - WTA (34:42 - 59:02). We look ahead to a brilliant quarter-final line-up in Stuttgart, despite a slow start to the event. Iga Swiatek's new era is underway and we chat about her win over Laura Siegemund and preview her match against Mirra Andreeva. And can Coco Gauff keep up her perfect record against Karolina Muchova? Part three - News (59:03 - 1:34:58). We discuss tennis' place in the quickly changing landscape of Saudi investment in sport, with reports that the WTA Finals will not be renewing in Riyadh. Could Czechia or Poland be good hosts? There's also bits and pieces from Roland Garros's pre tournament press conference, retirement announcements from Jamie Murray and Roberto Bautista Agut, and a Rafael Nadal documentary coming to Netflix.
