US Open 2025 is in the books, and we're joined by Myles David — Sports Illustrated contributor and host of Tuned Into Tennis Podcast— for a sharp, funny, and deeply informed wrap-up. Yo Aunteas Kerel, Dawon & Jerrell dig into Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka's momentum, Taylor Townsend's mindset and media moment, and whether the men's hype cycles (Alcaraz, Sinner, Tiafoe, Fils, Felix) match reality. We also talk about Althea Gibson's 75th anniversary and whether the tournament truly met the moment for Black tennis history. Myles shares his journey from Louisiana to tennis journalism, why representation in media rooms matters, and how community changes the way we experience the sport. They also touch on the latest in pop culture, with hot takes on Mariah Carey's VMA performance and Jerrell's adventures at a Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico.

Round 3 of the US Open had everything: injuries, drama, and plenty of star power in the stands. We dig into Ben Shelton's tough setback, Sinner's tricky test against Shapo, Alcaraz's dominant run, and Taylor Fritz quietly holding strong. And yes, we even get into the celeb scene, from Russell Wilson and LL Cool J courtside to who didn't quite make the “celebrity cut.” On the women's side, Coco Gauff bounced back after a shaky start, while Taylor Townsend kept the drama rolling. Now all eyes are on the blockbuster clash between Gauff and Naomi Osaka, a matchup that could help define the tournament. We wrap with some chatter on tennis's unwritten rules (do you really have to apologize for a let cord?), a few fan habits that drive us crazy, and an update on our bracket standings… let's just say not everyone's thrilled. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:34 Celebrity Sightings at the US Open 01:56 Ben Shelton's Injury and Perspective 03:37 Jannik Sinner's Performance 05:21 Carlos Alcaraz and His Impressive Run 06:13 Taylor Fritz's Match Recap 07:02 Novak Djokovic's So Far 11:06 Round of 16 Popcorn Matches 13:06 Women's Draw Highlights 13:49 Coco Gauff's Performance So Far 14:34 Taylor Townsend's Impressive Run 19:28 Unwritten Rules of Tennis and Fan Annoyances 20:54 Bracket Updates and Episode Wrap-Up

It's a whistlestop episode for Ben and Tumaini, who had a train to catch late Friday night at the U.S. Open. We have a lot to catch up on, including the firestorm created by the Townsend-Ostapenko match and why that hit such a cultural nerve, the bizarre mess of a scene at Iga Swiatek's press conference (which the USTA deleted from the record), Altmaier's avoidance of Tsitsipas' drama, chatter around Carlos Alcaraz's hair, Coco Gauff's struggles, Naomi Osaka sparkling, Ben Shelton and Jack Draper's injuries, the visibility of gambling on site, and a bit more. Thank you for listening! Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

Andy Roddick is here on Quick Served with a Day 6 recap. Andy and Producer Mike talk about Taylor Townsend's performance beating the No. 5 seed Mirra Andreeva. Andy also talks about Ben Shelton retiring mid-match due to injury. We also cover Tiafoe and Navarro's loss, Alcaraz's form heading into week 2, and more! Stay tuned for tomorrow's Quick Served!

The US Open is heating up in New York and Round 3 brought yet more drama in abundance. Jannik Sinner survived a stern test from Denis Shapovalov but is still searching for his best tennis, while Coco Gauff powered past Magdalena Frech to set up a much-anticipated fourth-round clash with Naomi Osaka. Joel and Chris look at their head to head and decide who will a (presumed) Arthur Ashe night session slot favour most - or could we be in store for some 'car crash tennis' as Joel puts it. Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina once again proved too strong for Emma Raducanu, with Joel and Chris discussing how the Brit can best handle ultra-aggressive opponents.Elsewhere, Taylor Townsend continued her fairytale run with a stunning win over Mirra Andreeva as Jelena Ostapenko published another Instagram story update. Novak Djokovic overcame brief back injury concerns to edge past Cameron Norrie, and Adrian Mannarino advanced in bizarre circumstances whilst on a bathroom break after Ben Shelton's tearful retirement on court. Off-court, fan behavior sparked controversy when a millionaire CEO was caught stealing a signed hat meant for a child from Polish player Kamil Majchrzak, adding fuel to discussions about crowd conduct at the US Open.SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com.MERCHPurchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Taylor Townsend picked up from where she left off against Jelena Ostapenko, this time seeing off world No 5 Mirra Andreeva inside a busy Arthur Ashe stadium. Townsend was an example of staying in the moment, recovering from an early break down in the first set and seemingly going on to cruise in set two. The doubles world No 1's stardom continues to rise. Now to the defeats, Jasmine Paolini fell to Marketa Vondrousova on Grandstand. The Italian seventh seed was the better player in the first set and had two looks at a break point but was unable to convert. The second set was a complete switchup, and to Paolini's credit she admitted nerves got the better of her. Frances Tiafoe, the 17th seed, had no answer for qualifier Jan-Lennard Struff, who took the American down in three sets. The two-time US Open semi-finalist was unable to create any real openings and was not looking to make any excuses afterwards. And finally, Ben Shelton, the sixth seed, was forced to retire against crafty Frenchman Adrian Mannarino at two sets all. Shelton, who left the court in tears, appeared to have hurt his left shoulder. The 22-year-old was able to put things into perspective in his post-match presser.

We round up the Day 6 tennis at the US Open 2025. Carlos Alcaraz made light work of Darderi and with Ben Shelton retiring against Mannarino is Novak Djokovic the only player who can prevent the Alcaraz vs Sinner final yet again? Mirra Andreeva lost to Taylor Townsend and Sabalenka & Rybakina look like they are on a collision course for the quarter final. ❤️ SUBSCRIBE TO GTL: https://bit.ly/35JyOhz ▶️ JOIN YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://bit.ly/3Fk9rSr

Journée amère pour le tennis américain hier à l'US Open. Ben Shelton et France Tiafoe sont tombés. Shelton a dû abandonner contre Adrian Mannarino tandis que Tiafoe s'est fait surprendre par le qualifié Struff. Double désillusion devant une Amérique qui attend toujours son champion.    Dans la 2e partie de l'émission tops et flops de la nuit sans oublier les pronostics. Au menu notamment, Musetti vs Cobolli, Sinner vs Cobolli, Zverev vs Auger Aliassime ou encore Bublik vs Paul. Du côté du tableau féminin, Parry affronte Kostyuk, Kasatkina joue Osaka tandis que Swiatek a rendez-vous avec Kalinskaya. 

Pour cette carte postale à l'US Open 2025, Eric Salliot revient sur la qualification d'Arthur Rinderknech en huitièmes de finale après avoir éliminé son ami Benjamin Bonzi en quatre manches. De son côté, Adrian Mannarino a profité de l'abandon de Ben Shelton, l'américain, à deux sets partout. Un exploit pour le français de 37 ans qui accède donc au tour suivant et affrontera Lehečka.

C'est déjà terminé pour Stefanos Tsitsipas à l'US Open. Le Grec s'est incliné en 5 sets contre Daniel Altmaier. Tsitsipas a vécu une année cauchemardesque en Grand Chelem : 1er tour à l'Open d'Australie, 2er tour à Paris, 1er tour à Wimbledon et 2e tour à l'US Open. La crise est totale et profonde. Le come-back impossible ?  Dans la 2e partie de l'émission tops et flops de la nuit américaine sans oublier les pronostics. Au menu notamment, Bonzi vs Rinderknech, Darderi vs Alcaraz, Shelton vs Mannarino, Blanchet vs Machac, Djokovic vs Norrie ou encore Kym vs Fritz.

Only one place to start, Court 11 that was packed for Taylor Townsend's upset-victory over (25)Jelena Ostapenko. The Latvian took the L badly and resorted to some pretty derogatory insults, accusing Townsend of having “no class” and “no education”. Townsend handled the situation superbly, both on court and in press afterwards. To think all that happened on HBCU Live Day, that was brilliantly acknowledged with a great discussion in the morning on the legacy of Althea Gibson. Leslie Allen, Sloane Stephens, Kamau Murray and Boris Kodjoe were on the panel that was excellently moderated by Monica McNutt. Frances Tiafoe saw off big-serving qualifier Martin Damm in four sets. Big Foe had to stay patient, but took care of business on his side, served great and played smart against the lefty who he spoke highly of in press. Jasmine Paolini, playing her second night match in a row in New York, convincingly beat Iva Jovic in straight sets. The Italian seventh seed confirmed the dress was a night-session fit and spoke about her next opponent Marketa Vondrousova. Ben Shelton beat Pablo Carreno Busta in straights. The American looked very comfortable on Louis Armstrong and managed the match well which is something we put to him in his post-match presser.

Ailish Forfar and Justin Cuthbert are joined by Toronto Sun's Rob Longley to chat about the moral boost coming off a successful return to the mound for Shane Bieber and his new teammates around him, how a ride of good outings from the former Cy Young Award winner could shape the Blue Jays' playoff starters, what is the top concern for John Schneider's club to sharpen before October, Daulton Varsho's batting power, and where we could expect Anthony Santander slot back in once he's healthy. Then, host of the No Challenges Remaining Podcast Ben Rothenberg stops by to discuss the mayhem during Benjamin Bonzi vs. Daniil Medvedev's match, the challenging task playing in New York's environment, if Carlos Alcaraz's new 'haircut' can give him a boost during this tournament, how much stock he'd buy on Ben Shelton, and Victoria Mboko's early exit following a successful National Bank Open.  The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliate.

Lucy and Eugene recap Day 1 at the US Open, which fell on a Sunday for the first time. Ben Shelton opened proceedings on Arthur Ashe, seeing off Peruvian qualifier Ignacio Buse in straight sets – 6-3, 6-2, 6-4. The American sixth seed was untroubled and looked locked in from the first ball and handled business the way a top-10 seed should in the opening round of a Grand Slam. Afterwards, in a nod to the celebrations taking place to celebrate trailblazer Althea Gibson at this year's US Open, Shelton was asked whether his father and coach, Bryan Shelton ever spoke about any racial issues he faced growing up as an aspiring professional.  Buse spoke about how difficult it was to get a read on the American's serve that was not only coming in with pace, but also different variations. In our second and final match of the day, Jasmine Paolini took care of business against Australian qualifier Destanee Aiava, winning 6-2, 7-6(4) on Louis Armstrong. The seventh-seeded Italian, steamrolled the first set, before going down an early break in the second. But in typical Paolini fashion, the Italian No 1 broke back immediately, firming up her game before closing out the match in the tiebreak. Afterwards, Aiava shared her surprise at the weight of the Italian's groundstrokes. We asked Paolini about her thoughts on the Sunday start. To close, we talk about Serena Williams introducing Maria Sharapova for the Russian's Tennis Hall of Fame induction and run through the matchups we are looking forward to on Day 2. Listen and watch out for post-match press snippets from Shelton, Buse, Aiava and Paolini. Credits: US Open Tennis Championships

Catherine, David and Matt are together at Flushing Meadows to dissect the US Open draws and analyse what's been said on media day. Part one - Women's draw. We cover why we think this draw is good news for Iga Swiatek, the potential for Elena Rybakina to be a problem for Aryna Sabalenka, and why Victoria Mboko could come through a wide open section. There's also chat about Coco Gauff hiring bio mechanist Gavin MacMillan to help her serve and David explains why he's feeling bullish about Naomi Osaka's chances. Part two - Men's draw (38:16). The big question from the men's draw is whether anyone can stop Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. We analyse their draws and consider the paths of Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev. Part three - Qualifying (1:06:16). We talk about Dino Prizmic and Fran Jones making their way through qualifying and into the main draw.

Leif Shiras returns to the show to recap the Cincinnati Open, which saw Carlos Alcaraz outlast the heat as Jannik Sinner retired in the final. Shiras weighs on the brutal Midwest conditions, what it means for Sinner as he heads to the year's final major, and how this title can give Alcaraz the boost he needs. The broadcaster also explains what makes Iga Swiatek so dangerous after she notched another big title in the Queen City, and why Aryna Sabalenka's schedule is a fascinating subplot heading into New York. Shiras also looks at the top contenders heading into The US Open, and examines whether Novak Djokovic will be in form as he aims for major title number 25. The commentator looks at the potential of Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz and Jack Draper on the men's side, and dives into female contenders Elena Rybakina and Coco Gauff, who just parted ways with her coach. And Shiras gives his thoughts on the brand-new US Open Mixed Doubles event, which has been a smash hit in terms of popularity. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Late last month, President Donald Trump's Environmental Protection Agency proposed rescinding the “endangerment finding" — an Obama-era addition to the Federal Clean Air Act of 1963 that recognized the dangers of climate change. Host Nash Jones sits down Camilla Feibelman, director of the local chapter of the Sierra Club, and Ben Shelton, deputy secretary of the state's Energy, Minerals, and Natural Resources Department, to discuss what the EPA's proposal could mean for greenhouse gas regulations in our state. Later, the two discuss the EPA's decision to extend deadlines for states and the oil and gas industry to comply with methane standards set last year by the Biden administration, and how millions of tons of pollutants that would have been capped now won't be.Podcast Host: Lou DiVizioShow Host: Nash JonesGuests:Ben Shelton, Deputy Secretary, NM Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources DepartmentCamilla Feibelman, Director, Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter

John, Sam, and Steve kick off your week “live” from Cincinnati, running down the biggest headlines in tennis, including Ben Shelton's maiden Masters 1000 title in Toronto and teenage Canadian sensation Victoria Mboko capturing her first title and rising to Canadian No. 1. The crew breaks down Shelton's explosive athleticism, undeniable clutch gene, and the tactical brilliance of his father, while also celebrating Mboko's stunning run in Canada and discussing her ceiling and career potential. And of course, there's never a wrong time to talk about the Big 4, the squad debates who truly got robbed of Masters 1000 titles in the shadow of their dominance. 00:00 Intro 01:25 Episode Overview 03:05 Cincinnati Tournament Insights 05:09 Toronto Tournament Highlights 05:26 Ben Shelton's Rise in Tennis 12:59 Women's Tennis Highlights 19:20 Upcoming US Open Predictions 21:35 Tennis Player Performance Analysis 22:17 Carlos Alcaraz's Travel Schedule 24:12 Masters Series Discussion 28:10 Life Advice Segment Debut 31:42 Outro and Cincy Predictions 31:56 A Wild John Isner Appears

Tennis commentator Jason Goodall joins the podcast to discuss all the action from the North American Hard Court Swing, fresh off the heels of Victoria Mboko and Ben Shelton winning their first Masters 1000 Titles in Canada. Goodall recaps how the teenager Mboko was able to go all the way on home soil, and looks at where finalist Naomi Osaka heads from here. The broadcaster also dives into Ben Shelton's breakthrough and consistency, and highlights the areas in which the American has made the biggest strides with his game. Goodall turns his attention to Cincinnati, where he's on site calling matches at the new and massively upgraded venue in Mason, Ohio. The commentator discusses the returns of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz and the differences they possess in their elite skillsets, as well as what to expect from WTA World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka after some time off. And Goodall dives into several of the game's top storylines such as Novak Djokovic's lack of match preparation, Daniil Medvedev's struggles, and the competitive drive that Coco Gauff takes with her to the match courts. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

The Canadian Open (finally) ends, and with a shocker: Burlington, Ontario's Victoria Mboko snatches her first WTA title after starting the year outside the top 300, and Ben Shelton wins his first Masters event. Honestly, the longer format, the withdrawals of the top men, and the Cincinnati overlap all really hurt this tournament (the second-longest running in tennis history, btw!). We didn't want to contribute to this Naomi speech discourse, but I guess we do in a small way. Plus: Stefano Vukov's suspension has been overturned, That Guy is delulu (but in a very intentional PR type of way), and we take a question or two from the mailbag. 0:40 Burlington's Very Own 13:50 The Naomi Discourse - not doing it again! (well, a little)  25:00 Performance, Bye 29:20 The longer format is sucking the life out of the Canadian Open 39:45 Shelton wins his first Masters 1000, electronic line calling loses (again)  48:00 Stefano Vukov's ban by the WTA has been overturned in arbitration  59:50 A few questions from the mailbag

The Ball Boys are back with a Canadian Open recap where we continue a season of firsts.  First wins, first masters titles, first dates!  Ivy and Paul cover the tournaments highs and lows including a fresh set of Cold Plays.  We have a deep dive into Ben Shelton - has he found a new gear that the tour should be afraid of? And why is the gear he wears always drenched in sweat? And we finish things off with Cross Court, where we are the line judge and jury in the case of the Messed up Mixed Doubles.  

Catherine, David and Matt were live on Friday night to look back on the dramatic final few days in Canada and ahead to Cincinnati. Part one - WTA Montreal. Rarely have we felt such conflicting emotions watching a tennis match as we did during Victoria Mboko's victory over Naomi Osaka. For Mboko, what made this run so special? And what does this title mean for her future? But what happened to Osaka? How much criticism should she get for her post match speech? And where does this tournament leave her? Part two - ATP Toronto (43m20s). Ben Shelton won his first Masters 1000 title. What developments did we see in his game this week? What gave him the edge over Karen Khachanov in the final? And what's his US Open Mix status? Part three - Coaching news and Cincinnati preview (66m57s). We cover Emma Raducanu's decision to work with Francisco Roig, Holger Rune hiring Marco Panichi, Aryna Sabalenka adding Max Mirnyi as a consultant, and the breaking news that Stefano Vukov has had his WTA Tour suspension lifted.

David is back from holiday to join Catherine and Matt in discussing week one of the Canadian Open, where lots of the big names are out, there has been loads of good matches, and both draws feel pretty open heading into the final few days. Part one - WTA Montreal. We cover Victoria Mboko's special run to the quarter-finals, Coco Gauff's recurring double fault issues, Naomi Osaka's resurgence under new coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, compelling matches involving Madison Keys, Elena Rybakina and Marta Kostyuk, the unorthodox game of Aoi Ito, and the decision to give Eugenie Bouchard a wildcard so she could retire. Part two - ATP Toronto (from 49m). How much meaning can we take from a tournament without Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic? That's the task when assessing the men's event, which has seen Alexei Popyrin mount an impressive title defence so far, Daniil Medvedev continue to slump, and compelling final set tiebreak wins for Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton. There was also a strange complaint from Alejandro Davidovich Fokina leading to sweet spot social media aggro involving Dan Evans. Part three - US Open news (from 70m15s). With most of the US Open mixed doubles pairings having been announced, we quiz David on his views, and he throws a fun name into the ring for one of the remaining wildcards. There's also the launch of the US Open's matchmaker show to discuss. Tickets are on sale now for the Tennis History Conference at Wimbledon on Tuesday 9th December.
