The singles main draw of the US Open kicks off on August 24. Who are the favourites? Who are the dark horses? Can Jannik Sinner sustain his hard court dominance? Or, will Carlos Alcaraz avenge his defeat at Sinner's hands in Wimbledon this year? Is a Sinner vs Alcaraz final a foregone conclusion, or can the old fox Novak Djokovic crash their party?  On the women's side, can Aryna Sabalenka defend her crown or will Iga Swiatek add to her growing tally of majors? And what's with the new mixed doubles format being launched at this year's US Open – is it unfair to the doubles pros on the ATP/WTA tour?  We speak with former pro player and top coach Nandan Bal, who has the rare distinction of having both played for India in the Davis Cup and coached the Indian Davis Cup team.

Roger Taylor is the former British No.1 tennis star who rose to prominence in the 1960s and 70s. A three-time Wimbledon semi-finalist and a key player in Britain's Davis Cup team, he was known for his powerful left-handed serve and graceful style on court. Taylor also made history by winning US Open men's doubles titles back to back in 71 and 72. Beyond his playing career, he's been a respected coach and ambassador for British tennis. His autobiography, written in collaboration with TV and radio sports broadcaster Marcus Buckland, is available now. It's called The Man Who Saved Wimbledon and is the untold story of a British tennis number one who fell out with his contemporaries while coming tantalisingly close to winning Wimbledon.Roger Taylor is our guest in episode 517 of My Time Capsule and chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he'd like to preserve and one he'd like to bury and never have to think about again .Buy Roger Taylor's autobiography The Man Who Saved Wimbledon, here - https://www.pitchpublishing.co.uk/shop/man-who-saved-wimbledonFollow My Time Capsule on Instagram: @mytimecapsulepodcast & Twitter/X & Facebook: @MyTCpod .Follow Michael Fenton Stevens on Twitter/X: @fentonstevens & Instagram @mikefentonstevens .Produced and edited by John Fenton-Stevens for Cast Off Productions .Music by Pass The Peas Music .Artwork by matthewboxall.com .This podcast is proud to be associated with the charity Viva!

"Today's guest has seen tennis history unfold from the best seat in the house — the umpire's chair. Born in Båstad, Sweden, Lars Graff started out as a ball boy, became a linesman at just 14, and rose to become one of the most respected chair umpires in the sport. Over a remarkable career spanning decades, he officiated more than 7,000 matches, including Grand Slam finals, Davis Cup battles, and Olympic showdowns. He holds the rare distinction of having chaired both the men's and women's Wimbledon finals — a true testament to his calm authority and deep knowledge of the game. But his journey didn't end when he stepped down from the chair. Lars transitioned into ATP leadership roles, ultimately becoming Vice President of Officiating, and today he continues to shape the sport as Co-Tournament Director of the China Open. From quiet rulings to high-stakes drama, from Båstad to Beijing — this is the voice behind some of tennis' most iconic moments. Please welcome Lars Graff." Thank yout to Alistair from GOLDENAGEOFTENNIS for the introduction.

Marcus Daniell, a decorated tennis player and Olympic bronze medalist, understands this better than most. He founded High Impact Athletes to channel that influence toward causes that measurably improve lives.When I spoke with Marcus, he shared how the transition from tennis to philanthropy wasn't sudden. As soon as he began earning enough from his career, he started giving back—carefully. "I didn't really trust the charities that I'd grown up around, and I wanted to do my own research," he said. That research led him to the concept of effective giving: doing the most good per dollar.What started with a personal 1% pledge grew into something much bigger. "There was a greater purpose to the grind of being a tennis player," Marcus said. "Every match that I won had something bigger off the back of it."That sense of purpose eventually inspired High Impact Athletes. Marcus guessed he'd have to persuade fellow athletes one by one, but the response surpassed expectations. "Very quickly it became obvious that there was a real appetite amongst the athlete community for something they could trust."Today, the organization has over 230 elite athletes across 50 sports and 35 countries. They're not just giving—they're amplifying impact by inspiring fans to do the same. "Athletes have a place in society where they have a really powerful voice," Marcus explained. "They can cut through different levels of society."The group recently partnered with High Rocks, a global fitness event series, to expand peer-to-peer fundraising. Participants can support causes like global health, climate change, mental health and women's empowerment.While High Impact Athletes isn't currently running a regulated investment crowdfunding campaign, the model it showcases is one worth noting. It proves that purpose and influence can merge to make philanthropy more effective and more human.The emotional impact is tangible. One athlete shared with Marcus that his High Impact Athletes key rings, earned for hitting donation milestones, were as meaningful as any sports medal. "That really touched me," Marcus said.This isn't just about giving. It's about creating lasting meaning from influence—and Marcus is helping athletes do just that.tl;dr:Marcus Daniell shares how Olympic-level tennis success led him to a life of purpose-driven philanthropy.High Impact Athletes empowers elite athletes to give effectively and mobilize fans for global good.Marcus explains that charity effectiveness varies greatly, making donation impact a key focus for change.Through partnerships like High Rocks, High Impact Athletes expands reach via peer-to-peer fundraising events.Marcus reveals his superpower—dealing with failure—and how resilience fueled both his athletic and nonprofit journeys.How to Develop Dealing with Failure As a SuperpowerMarcus Daniell describes his superpower as the ability to productively deal with failure. He explains that this skill is essential for professional athletes, who face constant challenges and losses. “In order to be a successful tennis player, you must be able to deal with failure productively,” Marcus said during today's episode. He emphasizes the importance of processing setbacks, learning from mistakes, and moving forward with renewed focus.Marcus shared a moving example from the 2016 Rio Olympics. After losing a first-round tennis match with match points against Canada, he and his partner, Michael Venus, were devastated. Though it took hours to process the emotions, they eventually had a heartfelt conversation, owning their mistakes and vowing to return stronger. This commitment paid off, as the duo later earned a bronze medal at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, a triumph Marcus cherishes deeply.Tips for Developing Resilience:Process Emotions: Allow yourself time to feel and understand your disappointment before moving on.Own Your Mistakes: Acknowledge your role in setbacks without dwelling on them.Commit to Growth: Use failure as a motivator to improve and set new goals.Find Perspective: Compare challenges to broader contexts to reduce their emotional weight.Focus on the Future: Create a tangible plan to move forward, shifting energy toward progress.By following Marcus' example and advice, you can make resilience a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileMarcus Daniell (he/him):Founder and Executive Director, High Impact AthletesAbout High Impact Athletes: At HIA we are transforming how sport serves the world. We connect world-class athletes with world-class charities—organizations that bring a high-performance mindset to making positive change.Our athlete community is a star-studded lineup of world champions, Olympic champions, world record holders and league professionals taking action and making a difference. Despite sport's immense potential to drive change, there's a critical gap between possibility and reality.Not all charities are created equal. Every year, billions flow into feel-good causes and foundations with limited outcomes, chasing nice stories over tangible progress. Less than 1% of global philanthropy follows the data to identify and support the highest-performing charities.Athletes have seized their place, not just in sport, but in society, leading conversations and commanding global attention on and off the field. Given the right platform, they can inspire the world to solve two critical problems in philanthropy: how much we choose to give, and where our giving goes. Website: highimpactathletes.orgX/Twitter Handle: @HIAorgCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/HIAorgOther URL: raceforimpact.com/enBiographical Information: Marcus Daniell is a celebrated New Zealand tennis player and Olympic medalist whose career exemplifies excellence on and off the court. Rising to a career-high ATP doubles ranking of World No. 34, Daniell captured five ATP titles and earned a coveted bronze medal in men's doubles at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Known for his sportsmanship and powerful presence on court, he competed at the highest levels of the sport, reaching Grand Slam quarterfinals and representing New Zealand in numerous Davis Cup ties.Beyond his athletic achievements, Daniell has distinguished himself as a leading advocate for effective altruism in sport. He founded High Impact Athletes, a nonprofit connecting elite athletes with the world's most effective charities, and pledged to donate at least 10% of his lifetime earnings to high-impact causes. His leadership has garnered respect across the tennis world and beyond, including election to the ATP Player Council.Residing in New York and recently retired after a 17-year professional career, Daniell remains a powerful voice for using sport as a platform for good. His legacy continues to inspire both on the court and through his visionary work in philanthropy.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_DaniellX/Twitter Handle: @marcusdaniell Linkedin: linkedin.com/in/marcus-daniell-oly%F0%9F%94%B8-313b6893/Instagram Handle: @marcusdaniellnzSupport Our SponsorsOur generous sponsors make our work possible, serving impact investors, social entrepreneurs, community builders and diverse founders.

pWotD Episode 2959: Jannik Sinner Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,016,749 views on Sunday, 8 June 2025 our article of the day is Jannik Sinner.Jannik Sinner (born 16 August 2001) is an Italian professional tennis player. He is currently ranked as the world No. 1 in men's singles by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), the first Italian to reach the top ranking. Sinner has won 19 singles titles on the ATP Tour, including three majors at the 2024 and 2025 Australian Opens, 2024 US Open, as well as the 2024 ATP Finals and four Masters 1000 titles. He also led Italy to the 2023 and 2024 Davis Cup crowns.Despite limited success as a junior, Sinner began playing in professional men's events aged 16, and became one of the few players to win multiple ATP Challenger Tour titles at age 17. In 2019, he broke into the top 100, winning the Next Generation ATP Finals and the ATP Newcomer of the Year award. In 2021, he became the youngest ATP 500 champion at the Washington Open, and the first player born in the 2000s to enter the top 10 in rankings. Sinner won his first Masters 1000 title at the 2023 Canadian Open and finished the season by reaching the final of the ATP Finals and leading Italy to the Davis Cup crown.At the 2024 Australian Open, Sinner defeated world No. 1 Novak Djokovic and then Daniil Medvedev in a five-set final, coming back from two sets down to win his first major title. He followed by winning three Masters 1000 events, the US Open, and the ATP Finals to finish the year as the world No. 1. In 2025, Sinner defended his Australian Open title, following which he served a three-month WADA suspension regarding a doping case from the prior season. He then reached the French Open final, losing in an epic to Carlos Alcaraz.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:21 UTC on Monday, 9 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jannik Sinner on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joey.

Mag England auch das Mutterland des modernen Sports sein, so ist dessen Aufschwung zu einem Phänomen, das die Massen in seinen Bann schlägt (und sich auch entsprechend vermarkten lässt), doch vor allem eine US-amerikanische Geschichte. Von diesem „Höher, schneller, weiter“ erzählte am 24. Mai 1925 höchst anschaulich der Hamburgische Correspondent in einem Artikel über die amerikanische Sportsaison, in dem von den klassischen amerikanischen Spielen wie Basketball, American Football oder Baseball überraschenderweise höchstens am Rande die Rede ist; stattdessen sehr viel mehr von Leichtathletik, Tennis oder Schwimmen. Beim Autor handelt es sich, den Vornamenkürzeln nach zu schließen, mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit um Franz Karl Anton Rose, einen Journalisten, der später vor allem mit nationalsozialistischer und antisemitischer Propagandaliteratur auffällig geworden ist. Was ihn in den 1920er Jahren nach New York verschlug, konnten wir nicht ermitteln – warum er den legendären Davis-Cup hier wörtlich mit Davis-„Becher“ übersetzt, auch nicht. Für uns am Start ist Frank Riede.

On May 14, 1963, 22-year-old Arthur Ashe made history by becoming the first African American selected for the U.S. Davis Cup tennis team. Ashe's breakthrough wasn't just about sports—it was a powerful act of representation and quiet defiance. He went on to become a three-time Grand Slam champion and an icon both on and off the court. Beyond tennis, Ashe was a tireless advocate for civil rights, education and public health, including HIV/AIDS awareness after contracting the virus himself.

We never knew how much we'd miss “hola a todos” until it turned into an adiós. Rafael Nadal Parera ended his tennis career at this year's Davis Cup, leaving with with 22 major singles titles, a Career Golden Slam, every clay record you can think of, and a litany of quotable moments. We've been Rafa fans since the early days, when they said he was a dirtballer whose body would force him into retirement in his 30s. But it turned out Rafa was nothing if not adaptable -- a rational thinker whose love for the game made him a global superstar and helped build two of the sport's most enduring rivalries. In this episode, we're less interested in a chronological retelling of his career than complicating some of the cliches about him and talking about our favorite moments, Rafa's inimitable Rafa-isms, and what made Nadal an athlete like no other.     1:55 How we became fans 4:45 It's not about stats, but here are some stats 10:00 Adaptability: the key to understanding Rafa as an athlete? 12:55 A quick career recap - the notable eras 32:35 Rafa as sufferer  37:30 Fedal & Rafole: the cliches eventually fell away 43:45 Rafa as sex symbol  52:05 (Not) talking about the GOAT conversation 62:25 Our favorite Rafa moments: the 2022 Australian Open was a gift 65:40 Rafa-isms : if if if …
