Podcast appearances and mentions of Frances Tiafoe

On Day 3 at Wimbledon, the tennis continued to be dramatic, with more seeds falling in what is rapidly becoming the major theme of this tournament. In part 1 Catherine, David and Matt begin by discussing the defeat of a weary-looking Jasmine Paolini by Kamilla Rakhimova. Emma Raducanu impressed against Marketa Vondrousova, but what chance does she have against Aryna Sabalenka? We also talk about a strong performance from Madison Keys, Matt's getting excited and nervous about Amanda Anisimova's draw, and we cover disappointment for Boulter who once again lost a match at Wimbledon when she was the favourite. In part 2 (40m34s) we look at the men's draw, which has opened up further with the loss of Frances Tiafoe to a revitalised Cameron Norrie, and Lehecka to an inspired Bellucci. There's excitement about the match that's been set up between Fonseca (who beat Brooksby in arguably the best match of the day) and the resurgent Nicolas Jarry. The prospect of Chilean against Brazilian fans in round 3 is tantalising. And Taylor Fritz will finally get a day off tomorrow after delaying the pod once again with his late night five-set victory over Gabriel Diallo. There's also plenty of coverage of Carlos Alcaraz's victory over plucky Brit Oliver Tarvet. In part 3 (66m58s) we look ahead to tomorrow's order of play, in particular Dan Evans getting the chance to take on Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.

Frances Tiafoe Wimbledon 2025 Round 1 Interview

James Gray and Calvin Betton are in Eastbourne while George Bellshaw dials in from an early-morning gym session in London. They discussed... Carlos Alcaraz beats Jiri Lehecka to claim the title at Queen's once again and reinforce his status as favourite for the Wimbledon title Dan Evans got first top 20 win since 2023 and only his second ever on grass at Queen's to upset Frances Tiafoe and gets a wildcard for Wimbledon Jannik Sinner loses to Alexander Bublik, his worst lost by ranking since 2023, first time he has lost to not Alcaraz since August 2024 The US Open have announced the Mixed Doubles Championship, featuring Osaka/Kyrgios, Alcaraz/Raducanu and more Maria Sakkari and Yulia Putintseva are involved in one of tennis's great spats Wimbledon confirm wildcards, including one for Petra Kvitova, who says she will retire after the US Open later this year. Lois Boisson misses out Emma Raducanu is quizzed about equal prize money but says she doesn't want to get involved in the conversation Katie Boulter shares some of the abuse she gets on a regular basis from disgruntled gamblers on social media Tennis in brief Debbie Jevans, chair of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC), has confirmed plans for a statue of Andy Murray at Wimbledon. Jevans says she and the AELTC are “working closely” with Murray on the plans, which involve the statue being unveiled in 2027, fittingly marking the 150th anniversary of the first Championships. Jannik Sinner has recorded a duet of "Con Te Partirò" with Andrea Bocelli, marking the tennis player's first foray into music. The collaboration was announced this week and was recorded in a studio in Tuscany. The video features footage from the pair's childhoods and more recent clips of the singer and Sinner, clutching a racket and tennis ball, in front of a piano in Bocelli's Tuscan home. After nearly two years in the wilderness, former Wimbledon champion Markéta Vondroušová has won the Berlin Open, defeating Chinese qualifier Wang Xinyu in a hard-fought final. The Czech left-hander came through 7–6, 4–6, 6–2, saving six set points in a dramatic opening set. It's her first title since Wimbledon 2023, and a timely return to form just ahead of this year's Championships. It was a statement win that included toppling world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the semifinals—her first career victory over a reigning number one. American McCartney Kessler claimed her first grass-court title at the Nottingham Open, defeating Ukraine's Dayana Yastremska 6-4, 7-5 in a rain-interrupted final. The unseeded 23-year-old from Georgia knocked out defending two-time champion Katie Boulter and top seed Beatriz Haddad Maia en route to capturing her third career WTA title. It's been a remarkable 12-month run for Kessler, who has now won all three of her career titles since Cleveland last summer. This episode is brought to you by Tide.

The semi-final picture is nearly set at Roland-Garros, as Kim and Chris catch up on the Quarter Finals of Roland Garros 2025! Among the semifinalists, we see a mix of familiar faces and standout surprises. Top seeds like Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Jannik Sinner, and Carlos Alcaraz have delivered on expectations—but it's the emergence of local French Wild Card Lois Boisson that has captured the hearts of fans. The 21-year-old Frenchwoman, playing in her first-ever Grand Slam, continued her dream run today by upsetting teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva to book a place in the semi-finals. From unknown to unstoppable, Boisson is rewriting the script in Paris.They also discuss the lack of default for Lorenzo Musetti during his 4 set win over Frances Tiafoe after he accidentally kicked a ball thus hitting a line judge. Other players have been defaulted for less - should he have been too?Kim and Chris also discuss the ongoing debate around the lack of women's night matches scheduled at Roland Garros, with all four women's quarter finals being longer than the whitewash that was Carlos Alcaraz v Tommy Paul, lending further critique to Amelie Mauresmo's comments around the rationale for night session scheduling! They also weigh in on who they think will make the finals at Roland-Garros, looking ahead to the semi finals over the coming days.PROPERTY HUB INVESTIf you're serious about property, head to https://propertyhub.net/start to take your first step.SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com.MERCHPurchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Un gran Carlos Alcaraz se clasificó para semifinales de Roland Garros tras derrotar por 3-0 al estadounidense Tommy Paul, desplegando un juego por momentos imparable. El cuadro femenino nos deja una primera 'supersemifinal', que medirá a la triple defensora del título Iga Swiatek con la número uno de la WTA, Aryna Sabalenka. En RFI entrevistamos además al junior argentino Dante Pagani, clasificado para segunda ronda de dobles. El mejor Carlos Alcaraz ya está en semifinales de Roland Garros. El español, defensor del título, logró la clasificación pasando por encima de Tommy Paul, al que derrotó por tres sets a cero.Sin paliativos y con un juego en ocasiones imparable, se llevó los dos primeros parciales por 6/0 y 6/1. Algo más de resistencia se encontró en el tercero, que ganó 6/4.Como curiosidad, ambos rivales ya se enfrentaron en este mismo escenario previamente durante los juegos de París 2024. Fue en cuartos de final igualmente y el murciano también se proclamo vencedor del choque.El rival de Alcaraz por una plaza en la final será el italiano Lorenzo Musetti, que apeó al estadounidense Frances Tiafoe por 3-1 (6/2 4/6 7/5).Supersemifinal en el cuadro femeninoEl cuadro femenino nos deja una primera gran semifinal, la que enfrentará a la triple defensora del título, Iga Swiatek, con la número uno del ranking mundial, Aryna Sabalenka.Swiatek logró el pase ante la ucraniana Elina Svitolina por 6/1 y 7/5, mientras que Sabalenka se deshizo de la china Qinwen Zheng por 7/6 y 6/3.Djokovic, Sinner y Gauf, este miércolesEste miércoles se completarán las semifinales.

Cayó en segunda ronda de individuales frente a Ivan Ivanov (6/2 7/5), pero en dobles se clasificó para esa misma ronda junto con Valentín Garay frente a Amir Omarkhanov y Andrés Santamaría Roig (6/2 2/6 10/6).En segunda ronda femenina en categoría junior individual, otra argentina sí logró el pase sobre el polvo de arcilla de París. Fue Luna María Cinalli, que ganó ante la alemana Sonja Zhenikhova tras remontar luego de perder la primera manga (3/6 6/3 6/0).

Hey everyone, Faizan here! Here is my preview and prediction for the match between Lorenzo Musetti vs Frances Tiafoe at the 2025 French Open! This should be a great match for Quarter Final at Roland Garros! This is an opinion only video!

A penas conocida en el circuito internacional, la joven tenista francesa se confirma como la gran revelación de esta edición tras meterse en los cuartos de final luego de apear a la número 3 mundial , la estadounidense Jessica Pegula. En Roland Garros poco a poco se va despejando el camino a la final mientras los cuadros individuales comienzan a contar con un numero reducido de supervivientes. Tras el último lunes de competición ya se conocen a las 8 raquetas, tanto en mujeres como en hombres, que lucharan por la conquista del gran título tenístico en la superficie de arcilla.  Boisson se confirma ante sus paisanosSi hay un nombre a destacar entre los clasificados para cuartos de final es el de Lois Boisson. Una tenista francesa que ocupa la posición 364 en el ranking mundial y que fue invitada por la organización del torneo para participar en el cuadro principal. La “dijonesa” no pudo estrenarse el año pasado en la catedral de la arcilla merced a una prematura y grave lesión que la mantuvo alejada de las canchas durante 9 meses. Un año mas tarde toma su revancha tras colarse en los cuartos de final luego de apear la numero 3 del mundo, la norteamericana Jessica Pegula (3/6 6/4 6/4)A sus 22 años, Boisson está siendo un auténtico descubrimiento para el público local y tras su desempeño representa una enorme esperanza para una nación que no saborea las mieles del éxito en la catedral de la arcilla desde hace 25 años cuando Mary Pierce se alzaba con la copa Suzanne -Lenglen al batir en la final a la española Conchita Martinez (6/2, 7/5).La próxima rival de Boisson será la rusa Mirra Andreeva quien se presentó como la más madrugadora en sacar su billete a cuartos tras apear a la australiana Daria Kasatkina en un partido que no tuvo mayores consecuencias (6/3 7/5)El capricho del sorteo y al gran estado de forma de las tenistas estadounidenses se reflejó igualmente en esta edición de Roland Garros que pase lo que pase contará con una semifinalista norteamericana. Fue la numero 2 del mundo, Coco Gauff, quien propuso el desafío tras vencer a la rusa Ekaterina Alexandrova en dos sets (6/0 7/5) teniendo en cuenta que lucharía con una compatriota en cuartos de final tras el duelo fratricida en el que Madison Keys salió victoriosa ante Hailey Baptiste (6/3 7/5).En el cuadro masculino también se generó una gran sorpresa luego de que el kazajo Alexander Bublik dejase fuera al cabeza de serie numero 5, el emergente Jack Draper. El británico que no acertó con su servicio se mostró impotente en casi la totalidad de su duelo ante un irregular Bublik que esta vez realizó uno de los mejores encuentros de su vida (5/7 6/3 6/2 6/4). Capaz de lo mejor y lo peor habrá que contar con su enorme estado de gracia y su potente saque (220 km/h) teniendo en cuenta que en la segunda ronda apeaba a otro gran tenista como es el australiano Alex de Minaur.Por otro lado, el tenista mas laureado de la historia, el serbio Novak Djokovic, no dejó concesiones ante el británico Cameron Norrie (6/2 6/3 6/2). Quizás con la intención de guardar el máximo de energías ante su próximo duelo donde le esperará el vigente subcampeón del torneo, el alemán Alexander Zverev que aprovechaba el abandono del el neerlandés Tallon Griekspoor, cuando el marcador mostraba un resultado de 6/4 3/0 a favor del tenista germano. Arrancan los cuartos de finalLas cosas se ponen serias en Roland garros con las primeras disputas de cuartos de final. Para este martes habrá dos encuentros de damas y dos de hombres. En cuanto a las féminas la numero 1 mundial, la rusa Aryna Sabalenka, se enfrentará a la china (N°8) Qinwen Zheng al tiempo que la ucraniana Elina Svitolina se mide a la vigente campeona del torneo, la polaca Iga Swiatek.En hombres el italiano Lorenzo Musetti tendrá como rival al norteamericano Frances Tiafoe mientras que la jornada la cerrará un apasionante duelo entre otro norteamericano, Tommy Paul, y el defensor del título, el español Carlos Alcaraz.

It's the Roland Garros 2025 2nd Round Show... a highly anticipated match between Jack Draper and Joao Fonseca was one-sided. What to make of it? We'll also discuss the following: Arthur Fils withdrew with a back injury, Jannik Sinner slammed Jiri Lehecka, Holger Rune survived a shaky performance vs. Quentin Halys, Tommy Paul won a consecutive 5-setter vs. Karen Khachanov, Alexei Popyrin looked strong against Nuno Borges, Frances Tiafoe beat his fellow American Sebastian Korda and Carlos Alcaraz battled himself versus Damir Dzumhur.

I met Rex Kulman and his father Guy when he was 8 years old at the Oracle Challenger in 2020, just days before the world quarantined. Five years later Rex is an elite 13 year old player, approaching a 10 UTR, is home schooled, and is coached full time by Diego Moyano, the former coach of Coco Gauff and Frances Tiafoe, respectively. Rex has trained at McEnroe Academy, Mouratoglou Academy, as well as the USTA's campus in Lake Nona and in Queens. Most recently Rex played in ITF Junior tournaments in Havana and Jamaica, and we talked about it all. His unique life in tennis is fascinating, and I hope every parent and child in tennis has a listen. Recorded 4.28 Released 4.30 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"For me personally, I think I needed that. It built this dog within me...For me growing up, there was no plan B...There was no 'what if.'" Frances Tiafoe Proffeesional Tennis Player Captivating the world with his undeniable talent, charismatic ways and his unique energy on and off the court, Frances Tiafoe shares his journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in tennis today. On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan, Fred, and Channing chop it up with Tiafoe about how it all started and how life has totally changed for him since winning more which has led to his ever-growing fame. The guys talk all things tennis with Frances, explaining how training works, the mindset necessary and how the current landscape is the perfect opportunity for Frances to rise in sports. Elevating the attention of tennis over the past couple years, Frances' matches have become a magnet of entertainment and unwavering outpour of support, from receiving daily texts of A-list athletes to getting private invites to hang with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to defeating the sport's megastars on global stage has shaped Tiafoe's path in ways he never thought possible. Despite the star-studded encounters, Frances keeps it real, always remembering his roots and the community that's had his back from the start. He's focused on the bigger picture—winning key matches, staying true to himself and pouring into the people and things he loves. With a chance to rewrite history books. Frances opens up about how Venus and Serena Williams have been huge influences on his game, not just as players but as role models. He shares how the pressure to succeed is heavy but carrying that weight has led him to have unimaginable highs such as defeating Rafeal Nadal and going toe to toe with the best players in the world. Never shying away from competition, Frances explains how losing his cool in the heat of the moment or seeming unfocused stems from the passion he has for tennis, not a lack of respect or arrogance toward the sport itself. Looking back at one memorable match that stands out to us all, Frances reflects on how it felt like he was being made an example of and he felt he had no choice but to stand up for himself. He admits to the guys it wasn't his best moment, but it was a learning experience and something he's grown from. While he tries to keep things light and avoid getting too wrapped up in the intensity, he admits it's not always easy. The competitiveness in tennis can make it tough to have authentic relationships, but Frances is committed to staying true to himself and loyal to his day one support system.
