Il ne faut pas s'emballer, certes ! Mais au regard de ce début d'année 2026, il semblerait que le fossé se creuse entre Carlos Alcaraz et Jannik Sinner. L'Espagnol a remporté pour la première fois de sa carrière l'Open d'Australie pendant que l'Italien était stoppé par Novak Djokovic en demi-finale. Une défaite face au Serbe qui n'était plus arrivé depuis 2023 ! À Doha, la première finale entre les deux hommes était programmé d'avance, mais Sinner a encore été stoppé par Mensik. Pendant ce temps-là, Carlitos enchaînait les victoires. Douze succès de suite pour s'offrir Doha en plus de l'Australian Open. Au classement ATP, Alcaraz comptait 550 points d'avance au 1er janvier… Cette avance s'est accentuée de manière significative puisqu'il compte désormais 2700 points d'avance. Alors que la tournée sur terre battue approche à grands pas, on se pose la question de savoir si Sinner perd du terrain sur Alcaraz.Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Une carrière est marquée par des actes fondateurs. Et la rencontre que vient de disputer João Fonseca à Indian Wells en est un. Le Brésilien est sorti vainqueur d'un match au couteau face à Karen Khachanov 4/6 6/7 6/4 en sauvant deux balles de matches dans la deuxième manche. Le jeune carioca de 19 ans essuyait les critiques depuis plusieurs mois. Vainqueur de la Next Gen ATP Finals en 2024, Fonseca avait été brillant lors du premier trimestre 2025 avant un gros passage à vide.Son début d'année 2026 avait aussi été laborieux avec une seule victoire chez lui à Rio avec de sortir au 2ème tour. la victoire acquise en double à Rio lui a peut-être fait beaucoup de bien, mais c'est peut-être cette victoire face au 16ème joueur mondial qui va lancer sa saison.

Son début de saison était inquiétant, on s'est même demandé si sa tournée d'adieux n'allait pas virer au fiasco. Gaël Monfils, éliminé dès le premier tour à Auckland avait récidivé à l'Open d'Australie en étant sorti par le local Sweeny classé au-delà de la 180ème place mondiale. La suite ? Un forfait sur la tournée sud-américaine après avoir attrapé un virus. La Monf' est revenu à Acapulco où il a remporté son premier match de la saison face à Dzumhur avant de céder logiquement face à Vacherot. Pour lancer sa tournée américaine, le Tricolore qui a bénéficié d'une invitation a facilement battu Alexis Galarneau. Une montée en puissance pour le Français qui sera opposé à Félix Auger-Aliassime au deuxième tour. Alors Gaël Monfils a-t-il encore les moyens de s'offrir un top 10 ? On en débat dans "Sans Filet".

C'est un record qui date de 2011, Novak Djokovic avait attaqué cette saison par 41 victoires de suite ! Des débuts fracassants avec une victoire à l'Open d'Australie avant des succès au Double Sunshine à Indian Wells et Miami. Mais c'est bien lors de la saison sur terre battue qu'il surprend tout le monde avec des victoires à Madrid et à Rome où il bat pour la première fois Rafael Nadal. Sa première défaite de la saison interviendra le 3 juin en demi-finale à Paris face à Roger Federer.Qui a la capacité de battre ce record fou ? Peut-être Carlos Alcaraz, qui joue ne manière fantastique depuis le début de saison. Une première victoire à L'Open d'Australie puis à Doha avant d'attaquer le Double Sunshine. Mais Carlitos n'est qu'à 12 victoires de suite actuellement. Il va lui falloir conserver sa régularité, son génie et son invincibilité pour se rapprocher au maximum du record de Djoko. Peut-il le faire ? On en débat dans "Sans Filet". Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.
El CEO sigue desaparecido, pero esta vez con causa: mañana se vota en la ANFP y Raimundo está en modo vocero de No Más ANFP. Desde acá el apoyo total. Mientras tanto, Felipe toma el mando con un invitado de lujo que estuvo donde había que estar: Hugo Romero, en vivo y en directo desde el Court Anita Lizana durante toda la semana.Hugo nos trae el reporte completo del Chile Open 2026 desde adentro: la experiencia estadio, las mejoras de organización, y lo más importante, los chilenos. Jarry sigue sin encontrar la vuelta y ya acumula 11 derrotas consecutivas contando su caída en la qualy de Indian Wells. Mati Soto debutó en un cuadro ATP y le tocó un lituano complicado. Tabilo le ganó a Barrios cómodo 7-5, 6-3 demostrando que llega con más confianza de la que esperábamos después de Río. Y Garín, con todo San Carlos detrás, sacó la épica remontada ante Cerúndolo que le hacía tanta falta emocionalmente.El campeón fue Luciano Darderi, que se llevó el título ante un Hanffmann que lleva tres finales ATP y sigue sin poder gritar campeón. Willy Rivera lo tenía cantado desde el episodio anterior, hay que reconocerlo.También: las polémicas declaraciones de Tsitsipas sobre la gira sudamericana que hicieron explotar a todos, el análisis de qué futuro tiene el Golden Swing, y lo que dejó Dubai con Medvedev atrapado en Medio Oriente ganando el torneo sin jugar la final.Para cerrar, la previa de Indian Wells: vuelve el Duopolio más Djokovic y Tabilo vs Jodar como adelanto de lo que podría ser Davis.Síguenos en Instagram @lucklosers_podcast Twitter @LuckyLoserscast @luckyloserstenis Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@luckyloserspodcast8246
Hour 3 dives into a mix of sports, football speculation, and lighter stories from around the week. With the NFL franchise tag deadline here, Joe predicts which players will be tagged and reflects on how football's offseason has exploded into a full-blown spectacle, from the Draft to the Combine to Olympic flag football. The Tua Tagovailoa debate heats up again, with the Dolphins notably skipping his birthday, potential landing spots like Atlanta and Minnesota discussed, and Geno Smith possibly getting scooped up first — Hollywood can't resist ribbing Joe about how mad he'd be if Miami keeps him. Tennis talk highlights Indian Wells in progress and the upcoming Miami Open, with Joe praising Djokovic while also enjoying Sinner and Alcaraz. The hour wraps with a fun story about a friend getting catfished, sparking conversation about dating apps and Joe's preference for old-school, in-person dating.

Can he rediscover his desert magic and reestablish control at a Masters 1000 that once felt automatic? We also break down the dangerous floaters and dark horses who could crash the party—plus a deep dive into Ben Shelton's nightmare draw. Is this a breakthrough opportunity or a brutal early test? Join us as we analyze the form, the matchups, the conditions, and the key storylines heading into one of the most important tournaments of the spring. The road to clay season starts now.

Impossible de parler de Jannik Sinner sans évoquer Novak Djokovic ! L'Italien fait son retour sur le circuit deux semaines après cette élimination en demi-finale de l'Open d'Australie par le Serbe. À Doha, hors de question de parler d'une potentielle finale entre Alcaraz et Sinner. L'heure est aux interrogations. Jannik Sinner, présenté comme étant le monstre à abattre en 2026, a vacillé à un moment où on ne s'y attendait pas du tout. Après une deuxième partie de saison 2025 monstrueuse, l'Italien a vécu des émotions par lesquelles il n'était encore jamais passé à Melbourne ! Dans quel état arrive t-il à Doha ? Cette défaite peut-elle créer un blocage ? Doit-il modifier son jeu ? Ses objectifs doivent-ils changer ? Ce revers face à Djokovic, est-ce le début d'un doute ou d'une étape nécessaire vers la domination ?

À Rotterdam, tous les favoris sont au rendez-vous ou presque ! Les têtes de séries n°1, n°2 et n°3 sont dans le dernier carré avec Alex de Minaur, Félix Auger-Aliassime et Alexander Bublik. En revanche, pas de trace de la tête de la tête de série n°4, Daniil Medvedev qui a été éliminé dès son entrée en lice par Ugo Humbert ! Le Tricolore est donc le dernier joueur à compléter ces demi-finales aux Pays-Bas. Opposé à l'Australien, Ugo Humbert va tenter de montrer qu'il est l'un des meilleurs joueurs du monde en indoor et pourrait bien faire face à Felix-Auger Aliassime en finale. Seulement si le Canadien prend la mesure d'Alexander Bublik, alors, il aurait l'occasion de remporter son deuxième titre de suite après Montpellier !

João Fonseca est-il toujours considéré comme un prodige ? À 18 ans et 3 mois, il devenait le plus jeune joueur derrière Jannik Sinner à remporter les Finales Next Gen en battant l'Américain Learner Tien. Aujourd'hui, la courbe semble s'être inversée entre Tien qui brille et Fonseca qui plafonne. Le Carioca n'a toujours pas gagné le moindre match en 2026, d'abord forfait à Brisbane puis Adelaïde pour des douleurs au dos, Fonseca a ensuite été éliminé dès son entrée en lice à l'Open d'Australie.La nuit dernière, le Brésilien est sorti d'entrée à Buenos Aires alors qu'il est le tenant du titre.

Show NotesOn the Spotlight this week, we wrap up the Australian Open where dramatic semi finals saw Alcaraz overcome cramp (to Zverev's dismay), Djokovic overcome Sinner (to Ross' prediction dismay), and then Alcaraz overpower Djokovic to win a career Grand Slam. Elana Rybakina won the women's title, powered by a dominant serve and a few harsh, but helpful words from her coach.Then it's a concussion and head injury discussion, with a Spotlight on football and rugby. Should young children be tackling and heading a football? We explore those debates and discover that bans and delays don't play out quite the same way in the two sports, but that many unanswered questions remain. A recent paper by Ross and some colleagues finds that rugby players wearing headgear are more likely to suffer injuries than those not wearing headgear. An odd finding, but confounded by history and bias, as a lesson for how research limitations play out.And finally, does Karsten Blummenfelt really have a VO2max of 101 ml/kg/min? The Norwegian triathlete published that number earlier in the week, and it was met with skepticism bordering on ridicule. We discuss why the number isn't physiologically believable, what it means, and how errors in measurement might occur.Finally finally, if you enjoy the show and want to show your support, then become a Supporter with a small monthly donation, and you'll also get access to our Community Chat, and, as discussed in this show, upcoming Live Event Coverage.LinksThe Contact Conundrum: Are We Introducing Contact at the Correct Time in Youth Sports?Wearing Regulation Soft-Padded Headgear Does Not Reduce the Risk of Head Injuries in Professional Men's Rugby Players: An Observational Cohort StudyThe Spennymoor Heading Trial ArticleArticle on Bulmenfelts 101 VO2max Hosted on Acast.

We'll talk Novak Djokovic's impressive win in the semifinals and what's going wrong physically. Finally, we'll discuss if Alexander Zverev's tournament was more encouraging or discouraging as far as the direction of his career is concerned.

Grant and Roger return with Roger in peak “miserable old bastard” form, tearing into Elon Musk's latest stunt, a so‑called 10‑sigma gold crash, and Djokovic's absurd epic over Sinner.

There was going to be history on Sunday no matter what, and Ben and Tumaini end their Australian Open coverage with discussion of Carlos Alcaraz's big win over Novak Djokovic, coming back from a slow start to clinch his career slam by winning the Australian Open, his seventh major title overall. We discuss Alcaraz's present and his ambitions for all-time greatness, where this event leaves his rivalry with Sinner, the future for Djokovic, the significance of a post-Ferrero win. We also, as we planned, use our last show of the tournament to look back at one of the early storylines: American players getting questions about U.S. politics in press conferences, and why we think this is a completely fair and rational thing to have happen.

After a dozen days that were mostly dull, the Australian Open kicked into high gear on Day 13, and so Ben and Tumaini stayed up late to discuss what made it so great. Carlos Alcaraz was up big, then was in trouble, then was up against the wall, but finally eked out a rousing win over Alexander Zverev to book his spot in his first Australian Open final. But instead of being joined by his customary opponent Jannik Sinner for the fourth time in a row in a major final, Alcaraz will face 38-year-old Novak Djokovic, who used his restedness to deliver a redline beauty of a match. We look ahead to the final and how Djokovic might be able to win it, where these losses leave both Zverev and Sinner, and more. Thank you for listening!
