I veckans avsnitt gästar tidigare världsspelaren Lars ”Lasse” Jönsson podden för ett långt och uppriktigt samtal om karriären, ledarskap och kulturen i svensk tennis.Lasse berättar om vägen till topp 100 i världen, livet i det legendariska Team Ramlösa och relationen till den mytomspunne tränaren Tim Klein. Hur hård var egentligen miljön? Skulle en sådan satsning fungera idag? Och vilka delar av sitt eget ledarskap har han tagit direkt från Tim?Samtalet kretsar också kring den kommande boken om Tim Klein – ett projekt som väckt både starka känslor och gamla minnen till liv. Lasse berättar om vad han hoppas att dagens tränare, föräldrar och spelare ska ta med sig från boken, men också om vad han själv hade gjort annorlunda om han fått spela om sin karriär med dagens erfarenhet.Dessutom pratar vi om alla åren som både privat coach och Davis Cup-kapten i Kuwait, kulturskillnaderna jämfört med Sverige och vad utlandslivet lärde honom om människor, ledarskap och tennisutveckling.Det blir också en stor och ärlig diskussion om dagens svenska tennis:Varför verkar vissa spelare nästan rädda för att tävla? Har ranking blivit viktigare än utveckling? Hur ska wild cards egentligen delas ut? Och vilka signaler skickar svensk tennis när professionalism och tävlande inte alltid premieras?Lasse ger dessutom sin syn på:– varför beteenden på banan betyder mer än många tror– hur Ullevi Tennisklubb försöker bygga en stark klubbkultur– vad han tittar på hos unga spelare för att se potential– vad som faktiskt blivit bättre de senaste åren– vad som oroar honomEtt avsnitt om vinnarkultur, ledarskap, utveckling och svensk tennis – med en av personerna som upplevt sporten från både världseliten och tränarbänken.Tack till vår huvudpartner! * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Zenniz – The Smart Tennis Solution:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.zenniz.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Samt andra partners:* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Centaur Sports Foundation ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wilson Tennis Camp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aim-X Pure Sports⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ölstugan Tullen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* Babolat⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stort tack också till alla föreningspartners, regionpartners och prenumeranter på Baslinjen.com!Intromusik: Mr Smith, Cool Running (Free Music Archive) (CC BY) Outromusik: Mr Smith, The New West (Free Music Archive) (CC BY)

I veckans avsnitt av Linus på baslinjen podcast gästar svenske tennisprofilen Jan Apell – tidigare världsetta 10 i dubbel och 62 i singel, Davis Cup-spelare, finalist på Roland Garros och en av svensk tennis kanske mest underskattade profiler från 90-talets storhetsera.I ett långt och öppet samtal berättar Apell om vägen från uppväxten i svensk klubbtennis till livet på ATP-touren, hur svensk tennis egentligen fungerade under guldåren och om steget över till tränarrollen efter spelarkarriärens slut. Vi pratar också om det klassiska samarbetet med Jonas Björkman, triumfen i ATP-slutspelet 1994, att han är obesegrad i Davis Cup och hur dubbelspel förändrats taktiskt genom åren.Dessutom ger Jan sin syn på dagens svenska tennis, vilka misstag unga spelare och föräldrar ofta gör, vad som skiljer en verkligt professionell träningsmiljö från en vanlig klubbmiljö, Good to Great där han är verksam idag och vad han själv hade gjort om han fått ansvar för svensk spelarutveckling under tio år.Ett avsnitt om elitidrott, svensk tennis då och nu, ledarskap, kultur och vad som faktiskt krävs för att nå världsnivå.Tack till vår huvudpartner! * ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Zenniz – The Smart Tennis Solution:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠http://www.zenniz.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Samt andra partners:* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Centaur Sports Foundation ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wilson Tennis Camp⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Aim-X Pure Sports⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ölstugan Tullen⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠* Babolat⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Stort tack också till alla föreningspartners, regionpartners och prenumeranter på Baslinjen.com!Intromusik: Mr Smith, Cool Running (Free Music Archive) (CC BY) Outromusik: Mr Smith, The New West (Free Music Archive) (CC BY)

Roland-Garros is here, and we take an in-depth look at the rich history and evolution of the year's second major. Chris Bowers sits down with François Thomazeau—former Reuters Paris Bureau sports editor and past president of the French Tennis Federation's Press Commission—to explore how a cozy "garden party" venue was transformed into a premier global powerhouse. The conversation highlights the monumental impact of Hall of Famer Philippe Chatrier, the visionary administrator who modernized the stadium, launched talent scouting programs, and reshaped France's sports culture. Thomazeau shares intimate reflections on his decades spent covering the tournament, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the unique spirit of Roland Garros.Highlights:The Chatrier Revolution: How Philippe Chatrier expanded the tournament infrastructure, moving it from a single-court facility to a bustling multi-court tennis complex. A Cultural Shift: How the iconic triumphs of Yannick Noah in 1983 and the Davis Cup team in 1991 shifted French fandom from celebrating "magnificent losers" to embracing winners. The "Garden Party" Charm: Why the tournament uniquely blends a high-society celebrity hotspot with intimate, quiet spaces like the junior courts and surrounding gardens.The TennisWorthy Podcast is presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame and uncovers the sport's history and mindset of champions.

Be honest, we don't bite!Most people remember the highlights: the serve, the swagger, the Wimbledon final, the Davis Cup hero moments.They don't remember what it costs.In this episode, Mark Philippoussis gets brutally honest about what happens when you get big money young (a multi-million FILA deal at 17), hit world-stopping highs (beating world #1 Pete Sampras at 19), then your body breaks, your career ends without your permission, and you're left dealing with the fallout, mentally, financially, and personally. What you'll learn in this episodeThe reality of making serious money at 17, and how it changes you. The mindset of a teenager taking down Pete Sampras (and why “no one expects you to win” can be a weapon). Comebacks aren't motivational quotes, they're rehab, dark days, and doing the work when no one's watching. What forced retirement does to your identity (especially when you never chose it). Losing millions, making mistakes, and why asking “stupid questions” is how you get smart with money. Mark's daily high-performance routine (the “20-20-20” first hour) and how he sets long-term + daily goals. Timestamps0:00 – Intro1:13 – Coming Up3:03 – The accidental start to a world-class career 10:30 – Signing a multi-million dollar contract at 17 18:35 – How a 19-year-old took down Pete Sampras 29:49 – 1999 Davis Cup: crowd pressure, nerves, and delivering anyway 32:36 – Wimbledon final (and the comeback year people forget) 38:27 – Knee surgeries, pain, and being told “you'll never play again” 48:35 – Losing millions: mistakes, lessons, and rebuilding smarter 57:09 – Forced retirement (and falling out of love with the sport) 59:31 – Battling depression during the darkest stretch 01:07:47 – Why losing everything became the turning point01:12:29 – The “20-20-20” high-performance formula + journaling routine 01:20:32 – Final ThoughtsEnjoyed this episode?

David Goffin stopt na dit seizoen met tennissen. Met een 7e plaats op de ranking is hij de beste mannelijke Belg in het tennis. Johan Van Herck zat tijdens de carrière van Goffin op de eerste rij als Davis Cup-kapitein. Peter Vandenbempt zat dan weer op de eerste rij tijdens België-USA op het WK voetbal in 2014. We blikken terug nu de Rode Duivels morgen opnieuw USA treffen. En drie Nederlandse ploegen verlaten de BNXT-league door te strenge licentievoorwaarden. Wat is er daar aan de hand?

What if you didn't have to be a top junior to become a professional tennis player?In this episode of Control the Controllables, we speak with Belgian professional tennis player Sander Gille, a Roland Garros finalist, Olympic competitor, Davis Cup player and former World No.18 in doubles.Sander's journey to the top of the game is anything but traditional. He wasn't a standout junior, didn't grow up expecting to turn professional, and at 17 he chose US college tennis simply to continue playing while earning a degree. After college, Sander decided to give the professional tour a try — funding his early career through crowdfunding, league tennis, and relentless persistence. Years later, that journey led him to the Roland Garros final and the top of the ATP doubles rankings.This episode is a powerful reminder that there are many different pathways to success in tennis.In this episode:Growing up playing multiple sports before choosing tennisWhy Sander never planned to become a professional playerThe decision-making process behind his college career in the US and transitioning to professional tennisHow crowdfunding helped keep his career going early on.How injuries shaped his focus from singles to doubles and lessons learned along the way.Key insights on finding his game, mental resilience, and balancing success with authenticity.Memorable experiences, including playing Andy Murray at the Olympics and reaching a Grand Slam final.Reflections on partnership longevity, team dynamics, and future goals in doubles.If you're chasing a career in tennis or supporting someone who is, this is a story you need to hear.CONNECT WITH CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLESWebsite: https://www.controlthecontrollables.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ctc.podcast/Email us: ctc.podcast@sototennis.com

Former ATP pro and Venezuelan Davis Cup player David Souto joins Steve Smith, Dave Anderson, and Coach Andres to unpack a player's journey from Caracas to the Orange Bowl finals, Argentina, and Spain, and the hidden costs of trying to make it fast. He reflects on what he would change: do not rush development, invest in the little things such as mobility, recovery, and mental skills, and build fundamentals that hold up across surfaces and stages.The conversation expands into culture and leadership, including the changing meaning of Davis Cup, accountability in modern tennis, and why many players skip steps without even knowing the steps. Souto also shares how he is building TenniSapien to raise standards in Venezuela through coach education, structure, and professionalism, creating a bigger universe of athletes and a clearer pathway for long-term development.

For decades, he navigated royal circles, elite dinner tables, and media backrooms—witnessing scandals buried, celebrities crafted, and reputations shielded. In his memoir The Last Alpha Male, Taki delivers a raw, unfiltered autopsy of Western high society's quiet collapse: when discretion died, image triumphed over character, and decadence lost its last standards. Expect sharp wit on masculinity's decline, elite hypocrisy, narrative control, and what civilizations sacrifice when seriousness vanishes. GUEST: Taki Theodoracopulos is the legendary Greek-born writer, publisher, and unrepentant cultural contrarian. A shipping heir educated in America, he excelled as a champion skier, Davis Cup tennis player, and war correspondent before becoming The Spectator's iconic "High Life" columnist for nearly 50 years. Co-founder of The American Conservative and Taki's Magazine, he's authored memoirs chronicling high-society excess, mischief, and moral decay—always with bold, irreverent insight into power's hidden truths.

Boris Becker is a former German tennis player, coach, and writer, regarded as one of the most charismatic legends of modern tennis. In 1985, at just 17 years old, he made history by becoming the youngest Wimbledon champion, a victory that propelled him to worldwide fame. Throughout his career, he won six Grand Slam titles, a Davis Cup, and an Olympic medal, standing out for his aggressive playing style, powerful volley, and unbreakable competitive spirit.   After retiring, Becker has remained closely connected to tennis as a coach—most notably guiding Novak Djokovic during one of the most successful periods of his career—and as a sports commentator. He has also explored a more personal and reflective side as the author of The Player, an autobiography in which he recounts his meteoric rise, his triumphs, his setbacks, and the lessons learned both on and off the court.  

The Australian Open has wrapped up! Carlos Alcaraz made history, completing the Career slam, Novak Djokovic made an incredible return to the finals, and Elena Rybakina claimed her second career major. Ben and Mike recap the full event and also preview Canada's Davis Cup team this weekend in Vancouver. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Alex de Minaur and Carlos Alcaraz identified the exact same problem for the Australian after his AO defeat to the world number one. The question now is whether the world number six will risk going backwards to try and make the jump into the top tier of the sport.

The former British No. 1 also reacts to Roger Federer's selection to be the newest International Hall of Fame member, and discusses who else deserves serious consideration.

Flavio Cobolli clinched a third successive Davis Cup for hosts Italy, and Catherine, David and Matt were in awe at his comeback win. The young Italian came back from losing a first set 1-6 against Jaume Munar of Spain to win a thrilling three-setter in front of stadium-shaking crowd. He was given the perfect platform by veteran Matteo Berrettini, who joined Cobolli in going unbeaten, meaning Italy's doubles team were not even called into action once. In the show, we ask what the future might hold for Cobolli - will he break the Top 10 in 2026? Plus, there's chat about where the Davis Cup should go in the future, whether it should be played every other year instead of annually, and how this year's event went overall.
