C'était le grand retour sur les courts de la Reine Serena Williams. L'Américaine, 44 ans, s'est inclinée face à l'Australienne Maya Joint en trois sets et même si elle a montré quelques difficultés physiques, elle a aussi prouvé qu'elle n'avait rien perdu de sa résilience. Êtes-vous bluffés par son retour ? Vous attendiez-vous à un tel niveau ? Quelle suite donner à ce retour éphémère à Wimbledon ? La voyez-vous faire la tournée américaine pour terminer par l'US Open ? On fait également les tops et flops de la 2e journée à Wimbledon avec notamment la victoire d'Arthur Fils pour son retour à la compétition. Bienvenue dans "Sans Filet" avec Romain Beddouk, Julien Varlet et Rodolphe CazejustCe podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Wimbledon 2026 Day 2 delivers non-stop action! Alexandra Eala continues her impressive run with a confident win, Joint pulls off a stunning upset over Serena Williams in a tight and emotional match, Ben Shelton crashes out in a shock defeat, and Elena Rybakina is made to battle hard before coming through.

Fully optimized description, tags and hashtags for this youtube title: "I'm Not A Dumbass" - Ben Shelton After R1 Loss to Virtanen | Wimbledon 2026YouTube DescriptionBen Shelton doesn't hold back after his shock Round 1 defeat to Emil Virtanen at Wimbledon 2026 — firing back with "I'm not a dumbass" in a brilliantly candid and fiery post-match interview. The American powerhouse reflects on what went wrong, how Virtanen played, and what he takes away from an early exit at SW19.

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.

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

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).

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.
