Here are the stories they discussed… 00:00 Welcome back to Tennis Unfiltered 01:27 Your questions answered 23:43 Valentin Vacherot made history as the lowest ranked Masters champion ever, beating his own cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the Shanghai final having knocked out Novak Djokovic in the semi-final - and Rinderknech revealed afterwards that he had thought about quitting tennis only a few months before, but was helped through his rough patch by coach Lucas Pouille 40:28 For his own part, Djokovic was a surprise entrant in Shanghai and was pushed to his limit by Yannick Hanfmann, Jaume Munar and Zizou Bergs before Vacherot finished the job in the last four 51:15 Coco Gauff triumphed in Wuhan, a rare one-week Masters, but her run to the title hardly felt impressive given the players she beat, including 11 breaks of serve in two sets against Jasmine Paolini and then a more credible win against former doubles partner Jessica Pegula 58:51 Aryna Sabalenka had been unbeaten at the event since 2018 but she was downed by Pegula in the semi-finals, but not before the Belarusian had sewn up year-end world No 1 for the second time in a row 01:03:07 Jack Draper has appointed Jamie Delgado, a former coach of Andy Murray, to work with him ahead of the 2026 season - but long-time coach James Trotman is very much still involved, and simply wants to travel less on the main tour 01:04:46 Goncalo Oliveira, a Portuguese-born player who represents Venezuela, has been banned for four years after testing positive for methamphetamine last year. He claimed that a girl he met in a bar in Mexico, who did testify at the tribunal, had taken drugs that evening and contaminated him through kissing - but the director of the lab that tested the samples said that there was between “four and 36” times too much methamphetamine in his system to have been transferred by kissing 01:07:27 Under a trial scheme, the ITIA are offering up to $5k in costs to players who want to test supplements or medication at a Wada lab, or to investigate meds contamination. The package also includes a degree of free legal support and confidential third-party counselling. And the PTPA already offers free support from two law firms.

Robbie Koenig returns to the podcast to recap all the action he called at The Shanghai Masters, which saw qualifier Valentin Vacherot complete a life-changing run and win the most unlikely Masters Title ever. Koenig explains how Vacherot put it all together and seized the moment in China, and reacts to the spectacle of his match in the final vs. his own cousin, Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech. The commentator also analyzes what may be holding Novak Djokovic back a bit in these events, discusses Daniil Medvedev's improved form, and assesses Learner Tien's terrific rookie year on tour. Koenig also explains how Coco Gauff was able to block out the surrounding noise and win the Wuhan WTA Masters comfortably. The broadcaster shares his thoughts on Jessica Pegula's impressive win over Aryna Sabalenka, the battle for WTA number one, and the true value of getting the college tennis experience on this episode.

This is another celebratory episode in response to Coco Gauff's incredible run to the Wuhan title. “Big Coco, never the little one” won all of her matches in straight sets at the WTA 1000. It's the American's second crown of the year following her French Open triumph earlier this season. The 21-year-old world No 3 now has 11 singles titles to her name, including two majors and three WTA 1000s (and don't forget the year-end Finals title last year). Jasmine Paolini also did herself proud in Wuhan with a 6-1, 6-2 statement-victory over Iga Swiatek – a player she had never beaten before – in the quarter-finals. Paolini was beaten by eventual champion Gauff in a competitive semi-final. The Italian is now in Ningbo looking to secure a WTA Finals singles spot. To close we share our thoughts on the family affair in Shanghai – shout out to champion Valentin Vacherot and his runner-up cousin Arthur Rinderknech. We also ask why it's proving so difficult for guys to step up in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.” Don't forget to rate, review and share on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Audioboom.  For daily tennis updates:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/blackspinglobal Twitter:  https://twitter.com/BlackSpinGlobal TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@blackspinglobal GET OUR MERCH HERE: https://blackspinglobal.com/collections

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.

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.

This episode of The C.L. Brown Show features someone who knows our host well. Carolyn Archie, the mother of Courier Journal sports columnist C.L. Brown, was recently honored with a Lash Southern Award for her tennis career and is this week's guest. Archie, who was recognized ahead of last month's Winston-Salem Open, talks about being selected to train at Hall of Famer Dr. R.W. Johnson's elite tennis camp for young Black players during segregation. She shares how she once taught Arthur Ashe how to dance. And she explains why she didn't force her son, C.L. Brown, to play tennis as a kid.

Carlos Alcaraz and Aryna Sabalenka claimed the trophies at The US Open, and former Top-5 player Jimmy Arias joins the podcast to explain how the major champions achieved their dreams in New York. Arias dives into Alcaraz's serving success, how he's improved his consistency and why he is the only person on the planet that is giving Jannik Sinner serious problems. The broadcaster also reacts to Sinner's comments about needing to adapt, and gives his take on what Novak Djokovic and the rest of the ATP can do to challenge for grand slam titles. Arias also discusses how Sabalenka has turned her serve into a weapon when it mattered the most, and why she continues to conquer the mental side of tennis as she collects major trophies. The commentator dives into Amanda Anisimova's career resurgence, Jessica Pegula's stellar performance at Flushing Meadows, and how Coco Gauff can overcome her own service issues and remain an elite WTA player. And Arias ends the show by telling a Davis Cup story from his playing days that is too insane to believe! Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Andy Roddick and the rest of the Served team had a live show in NYC during the 2025 US Open with special guests Tracy Austin and Brad Gilbert. Tracy talked about all things US Open, winning a slam at 16 years old, and what it's like to work with Andy Roddick (we'll let you decide if that sounds fun or not...). Then Brad Gilbert joined the show to talk about coaching Andre Agassi, Coco Gauff, and how there shouldn't be a "one-size-fits-all" approach to coaching. All of this and more in today's episode! COMMENT BELOW: What was your favorite moment from the interviews? Who would you like to see Brad Gilbert coach next?

In this episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, Steve Smith is joined by returning guest Dave Anderson and visiting coach Kervin Ramos. Together, the trio unpacks key storylines from the 2025 US Open — including matches involving Carlos Alcaraz, Frances Tiafoe, Coco Gauff, Alexander Bublik, and Taylor Fritz — while weaving in lessons for players, parents, and coaches at all levels.Beyond match results, the conversation dives into the mental game, player habits, and the gap between athleticism and discipline. The hosts reflect on the culture of American tennis, the value of fundamental skills like proper court positioning and swing technique, and how today's environment often celebrates flash over foundation.If you're a coach looking to sharpen your eye, a parent wondering how to support your child's tennis journey, or a player trying to build a game that lasts, this one's for you.

What a rollercoaster week in women's sports! The USA Eagles barely stay alive at the Rugby World Cup after a nail-biting draw with the Wallaroos. Now it all comes down to Samoa (and some serious math). Over at the US Open, we binged hours of tennis and fell head over heels for Taylor Townsend's grit and game. Plus, Naomi Osaka is back in full force, powering past Coco Gauff on her way to the quarterfinals. And in the WNBA, the Rookie of the Year and MVP races are heating up fast.

Ben and Tumaini check back in after the most-hyped match of this U.S. Open so far, in which Naomi Osaka soundly beat Coco Gauff to make it into her first major quarterfinal in more than four years. We discuss that match as well as the rest of the women's draw, including the Krejcikova-Townsend epic, and then turn to the men, in which Djokovic-Fritz is an intriguing match before what looks like (we think?) a pre-destined Sinner-Alcaraz final. Plus, Tumaini met JoJo!  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!

Also, a record number of travelers are returning home from the holiday weekend amid severe weather and storms across the country.

And, what's behind the nationwide surge in electricity bills — and what you can do to keep costs down.

It's a whistlestop episode for Ben and Tumaini, who had a train to catch late Friday night at the U.S. Open.

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).

Catherine, David and Matt were live in New York to look back on the opening day of the US Open Mixed Doubles and the closing stages of Cincinnati. We start by discussing the Mixed Doubles - what worked, what didn't, how did our feelings about the event evolve, and which teams really stood out? Moving onto Cincinnati, has Iga Swiatek made herself the US Open favourite after her title there? We discuss her victory over Jasmine Paolini in the final, the confidence she's playing with after Wimbledon, and the way she's turned her head-to-head with Elena Rybakina around. There's also chat about where Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are at heading into New York. On the men's side, how much did we actually learn after Jannik Sinner was forced to retire against Carlos Alcaraz in the Cincinnati final? Finally, we cover the shocking prize money discrepancy that still exists in Cincinnati, a couple of US Open talking points, and the retirement of Kyle Edmund.
