Elena Rybakina has beaten Aryna Sabalenka in both the US Open and the Australian Open in tough three sets, leaving Sabalenka without a major title for the first time since 2022. She's certainly the best player in the world right now, at least she has the highset peak level an has been able to find it when it mattered most.But while Rybakina is a good 1000 points ahead of Sabalenka in the WTA Race, a lot still needs to happen before we call it a season. Two WTA 1000 events are happening in China, a number of 500 events still need to take place, and, of course, the WTA Finals, which can award a maximum of 1500 points to the winner if undefeated.And Sabalenka herself, who will be looking to end the year on a high note after a disappointing season for her standards, should be looking in the rear mirror: the Top 5 is very strong and not far behind, as Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva are growing in their games and belief that they deserve to be at the top of the game.As for Iga Swiatek, it doesn't look very good right now, so maybe her sight should be set on just the next tournament ahead, and to having a better 2027 - 2026 was pretty much a year to forget despite a strong showing in the North American swing post Wimbledon.

In this episode of the Matthews Mentality Podcast, Kyle Matthews sits down with Jennifer Fisher, founder and Chief Brand Officer of Jennifer Fisher Jewelry, founder of Maedyn, and author of Trust Your Gut.The New York Times called her the Queen of Hoops. Jennifer spent ten years as a wardrobe stylist, starting out on commercials, before making a single piece for herself — a gold tag with her son's name on it, created after years of fertility setbacks because nothing on the market felt like her. She wore it on set, made one for Uma Thurman, and Uma chose to wear it on the cover of Glamour without telling her first.She has lived with a desmoid tumor, a soft tissue sarcoma, since she was 30, at a point when nobody was certain how to treat it. Twelve rounds of chemotherapy shrank it. Turning 50 and living with Hashimoto's, she later read her way into an anti-inflammatory approach to food that became her signature salts, her cookbook, and Maedyn, the lifestyle and media platform she now runs alongside the jewelry business.The conversation also explores bootstrapping for almost 20 years before taking on Centric Brands, a roughly $3 billion licensing company, as a manufacturing partner; the surge in demand COVID produced; how she gets her jewelry onto the people who wear it; and what gold prices and tariffs are doing to the business right now.Topics covered in this episode:- The New York Times naming her the Queen of Hoops- Ten years styling commercials before she made any jewelry- Making the first gold tag for her son after years of fertility setbacks- Uma Thurman wearing her piece on the cover of Glamour- Living with a desmoid tumor since the age of 30- Twelve rounds of chemotherapy while building the business- Why she wants people in the office rather than remote- Bootstrapping for almost 20 years before any outside partner- Why COVID created a surge in demand for the brand- Partnering with Centric Brands to scale manufacturing and wholesale- How she approaches getting jewelry onto celebrities- Hashimoto's, inflammation, and rethinking how she eats- Where the name Maedyn came from, and what it is now- What rising gold prices and tariffs mean for a jewelry business- Her husband coming in to run the company- How her family, and the tumor, still shape what drives herJennifer also explains why the biggest decisions in her career came from listening to herself rather than the people telling her to go another way, and why she kept going through the stretches when nothing went to plan.Whether you're an entrepreneur, founder, creative, or someone interested in fashion, branding, health, or building a consumer business, this conversation offers a close look at the decisions behind Jennifer Fisher Jewelry and the woman who built it.Follow Jennifer Fisher:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferfisherjewelryLearn More About Jennifer Fisher Jewelry:Website: https://jenniferfisherjewelry.comLearn More About Maedyn:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maedynGet Jennifer's Book:Trust Your GutFollow Kyle Matthews CEO:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylematthewsceoTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kylematthewsceoX: https://x.com/kylematthewsceoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylematthewsceo00:00 Rihanna Walks In01:01 Meet Jennifer Fisher02:35 A Day in the Life03:57 Remote Work vs the Office11:24 Work Ethic From Family14:10 Money Loss and Anxiety as Fuel18:13 Living With a Desmoid Tumor21:46 The Jewelry Origin Story24:24 Queen of Hoops25:59 The Anti-Inflammatory Shift28:10 Styling Career and Hustle30:53 Founder Mom Tradeoffs35:32 Raising Hardworking Kids38:35 Always-On Sacrifices40:36 Bootstrapping, Then Partners42:19 The COVID Demand Surge44:58 Scaling With Systems48:15 The Celebrity Seeding Strategy51:04 Trusting Her Gut53:45 New Lines and Menswear54:13 The Maedyn Origin Story58:03 Adversity and Mindset01:01:00 Advice for Starting Out01:02:09 Being a Female Founder01:04:45 Mentorship and Giving Back01:08:50 Defining Success01:10:07 The Nicest Thing Anyone Did01:11:00 Praise From Anna Wintour01:12:40 Fashion Favorites01:13:56 Her Husband as CEO01:16:11 The Rihanna Amex Story01:18:13 Gold Prices and Tariffs01:21:09 Trends and Lab Diamonds01:23:32 The Long-Term Vision01:27:16 Family, Motivation, Perspective01:30:50 Closing Thoughts

Send us Fan MailEpisode 41 of Out Wide, wrapping up the US Open 2026 chaos — here's the rundown:The vibes: Stef is fried post-Open (watched every second from home), the Portland Thorns and Fire are both flailing, but she and her wife are teaming up for their first doubles tournament in October as "DosStephFi's." Resh is off in SF, sailing accidentally-private boats and gearing up for Valkyries fan appreciation night. Fit check happened. Billie Jean King Adidas were purchased at great personal risk (the employee store is a battlefield, apparently).Tennis history hour: A love letter to Billie Jean King and Arthur Ashe — the legends the whole tournament is built on (literally, given the stadium names) — before diving into the actual results.The finals: Elena Rybakina beat Sabalenka for the women's title and the #1 ranking, earning full flower-giving from the hosts ("your fits are terrible, your serve is amazing"). Alexander Zverev beat Ben Shelton for the men's — cue extensive, well-deserved dragging over his domestic violence allegations, his ball-bouncing habit (2.5 hours across the tournament, RIP everyone's patience), and his new nickname care of an ESPN mispronunciation: Sausage Zverev. His semifinal tickets crashed from $300 to $19, which launched an extended bit about better ways to spend $19 (a Labubu, a therapy copay, an IKEA pillow "since he'll be asleep by set two").Sabalenka villain arc: Fined $7,500 for racket abuse, told a cameraman off, rolled deep with Jake Paul in her box, and wore a Thanos Infinity Gauntlet necklace — which the hosts note is thematically perfect since she also lost.Wins worth celebrating: Taylor Townsend's first Grand Slam doubles title (and a genuinely great tangent on her sponsor, civil rights attorney Ben Crump). Coco Gauff being extremely mature about aging out of her teen-underdog era. A whole segment on tennis players' secret nerd lives — Coco's Spider-Man/Avatar obsession, Naomi Osaka's Naruto pink hair, Monfils' Wakanda salute — that's genuinely delightful.Institutional chaos: The WTA Finals bailed on Saudi Arabia early, landed in Indian Wells for one year, and is now $30–60M-ish deep in financial trouble heading into a Charlotte relocation. Not great!The "Hall of Lamers": A savage little segment clocking Gabriela Sabatini (dated Trump, apparently), Jennifer Capriati (conservative troll now), and Martina Navratilova/Chris Evert's press tour, which gets zero patience from either host.Ben Shelton discourse: An entire, very funny back-and-forth of "is he MAGA, is he a good boyfriend to Trinity Rodman, why does he have fuckboy energy" that never fully resolves — verdict: TBD, but side-eye maintained throughout.Support the showInstagram : Out_Wide_PodcastJingle : https://www.nelaruizcomposer.com/Logo: https://www.instagram.com/crayonspaghetti/

While Zverev did not face a Top 21 player until the final, Elena Rybakina made it all the way up to World No.1 and the US Open trophy by going through tough three-setters against a resurging Zheng Qinwen, Coco Gauff, and Aryna Sabalenka back to back to back. Zverev might have had the lucky stars all pointed at him this year, but he did what he had to do and is now Race World No.1.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts convene at the end of women's semi-final night as Aryna Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina booked a final showdown with contrasting wins. Part one - We start by analysing Elena Rybakina's comeback victory over Coco Gauff. How did she gradually take charge of the match? What happened to Gauff's forehand? And how did Rybakina stay so calm and unaffected by the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd? Part two (16:31) - We discuss Sabalenka's incredible performance to defeat Jessica Pegula in straights. Is there anything Pegula could have done differently? How many more chances in Grand Slams will she have? And how is Sabalenka channelling her desperation to win this title into brilliant performances? Part three (32:36) - Men's semi-finals preview and predictions.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to another day of US Open action, headlined by Elena Rybakina winning the match she needed to guarantee that she will be the new women's world number one on Monday. Part one - We cover two more compelling women's quarter-finals as Rybakina beat Zheng Qinwen and Coco Gauff saved a couple of match points to defeat Mirra Andreeva. In what way does Rybakina becoming world number one signal a new era for the WTA? Will this run be a catalyst for Zheng? What happened to Gauff's serve and forehand in the first two sets of her quarter-final? And how did she still manage to win the match? Part two (24:53) - The men's matches were far less interesting on Wednesday but we discuss Karen Khachanov reaching a third major semi-final after Alexander Blockx was forced to retire, and Alexander Zverev's straight sets win against Botic van de Zandschulp.

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. Part three (52:38) - We cover top seed Alexander Zverev dragging himself through another late night five-setter and look ahead to Friday's order of play.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.

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.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts convene to discuss a rain-affected day at the US Open which ended with top seed Alexander Zverev coming within two points of defeat before eventually winning at 1:55am.Part one - Men. 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. Part three (53:54) - A look ahead to Wednesday's order of play which still has some first round matches left to finish, as well as Jessica Pegula and Ben Shelton with potentially tricky matches on Ashe.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.

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? Coco Gauff, on the other hand, discussed how she's in a much better place mentally and with her game compared to twelve months ago, while Alexandra Eala spoke with incredible maturity about understanding her growing influence on the sport. Part three (43:45) - We cover some of the stories from qualifying, including more heartbreak for 2019 champion Bianca Andreescu, defeat for the retiring 2014 finalist Kei Nishikori, and lots of British success.For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.
