Dan is the coach of Gaby Dabrowski, Michael Venus, and Nikola Mektic, and has been on the show several times before (below).In this conversation, we examine the future of doubles from multiple perspectives and challenge current assumptions about the format's viability.Reactions to the idea that "doubles specialists have no place in the future of tennis"The doubles debate centers on "the WHO, not the WHAT" – personality and storytelling matter more than formatUS Open's controversial changes to the mixed doubles format make commercial sense in the short-term but we must consider the long-term timeline as wellDoubles players face three options: accept diminished status, fight for change within the tour structure, or break free to create their own tourProfessional doubles needs to embrace vulnerability, personality-driven content, and innovative viewer experiences to thriveThe seven tennis governing bodies lack a cohesive vision for doubles, focusing instead on short-term commercial prioritiesFor it to survive, doubles specialists must take initiative in building their own brands and connecting authentically with fansInnovations like free fan movement, court-side service, and more relaxed atmosphere could transform the doubles spectator experience and change in a way that singles is resistant toThis is an open invitation to everyone in tennis – players, coaches, tournament directors, and media – to continue this conversation and work together toward solutions that benefit doubles and the sport as a whole.Previous Episodes with Dan Kiernan:Dan Kiernan Interview: GROWTH, Coaching ATP Doubles, Aggressive vs Consistent Returns, & an Illegal Volley Drill - April 5, 2023Coach Dan Kiernan Interview at the WTA Finals - November 5, 2023Coach Dan Kiernan Shares Stories from the WTA Finals, 2nd Set Adjustments, Positive Mindset, & More - November 20, 2024More from Dan:Dan's Podcast - Control the Controllables | Twitter | InstagramSoto Tennis Academy | Twitter-----**Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** New doubles strategy lessons weekly straight to your inbox**Become a Tennis Tribe Member**Tennis Tribe Members get access to premium video lessons, a monthly member-only webinar, doubles strategy Ebooks & Courses, exclusive discounts on tennis gear, and more.Learn More & Sign Up Here**Other Free Doubles Content**Serve Strategy CheatsheetReturn Strategy CheatsheetServe Strategy 101 - Video Course

New Zealand's Erin Routliffe and Canadian partner Gaby Dabrowski are through to the semi-finals of the women's doubles at the Australian Open. The pair won their quarter-final in straight sets and are close to notching back-to-back grand slam titles after their US Open triumph in September. Tennis commentator Dave Worsley spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
The 2023 tennis season is barreling toward the finish line. First up: the Canadian women win their first ever BJK/Fed Cup behind huge performances by Leylah Fernandez, Marina Stakusic, and Gaby Dabrowski. Novak Djokovic distances himself even farther from the field by dominating Alcaraz and Sinner to win the ATP Finals. There was a ton of discussion about throwing a round robin match to remove the #1 player – and plenty of good reasons for and against – but in the end it was moot, as Jannik Sinner went undefeated in round robin only to be overpowered by Djokovic in the final. Elsewhere, it's the end of Newport, Atlanta, Krejcikova-Siniakova, and Murray-Lendl (for the third time). Plus, that Defector story about Racquet and some self-reflection about where we've been and where we'd like the podcast to go. 01:30 Canada wins its first BJK Cup! 06:30 Novak is not bothered by the field. At all. 09:00 To tank or not to tank (Well, it's actually a problem of design, not ethics) 17:50 The final: Novak outhits and outserves Sinner 28:00 Newport and Atlanta out 30:10 Rafa returning? Plus the era's best doubles pairing is over 34:15 Defector story about the upheaval at Racquet 41:30 Some meta-reflection on where we are with the podcast
Crina Mustafa, basketball and tennis content creator, comes over to Tennis and Bagels Podcast to chat (and cheer) with Andre about Canada's history-making moment with the Billie Jean King Cup title in Seville.Leylah Annie Fernandez, the 21-year-old dynamo who's been making waves since her epic run to the 2021 US Open final, took on the role of leader of the Canadian team despite her young age, and did not disappoint. She went undefeated in 2023 in Billie Jean King Cup competition in both singles and double combined, making it a total of 8-0 for the year. After tough matches and near-misses, Fernandez fended off Ysaline Bonaventure in the Vancouver qualifiers in April after being a set and a break down to send Canada to the Billie Jean King Cup Finals stage. There, her way was no simpler, having to go down the trenches against Sara Sorribes Tormo of Spain in a three-hour, two-tiebreak battle, then getting her first top 10 win against Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova of Czechia in three sets in the semi-finals. Against Italy, the title was sealed with a straight-forward win over Jasmine Paolini.Another young star seems to be being born in Canadian tennis, as Marina Stakusic left her mark in the Billie Jean King Cup Finals. The 18-year-old, who has done incredibly well in the ITF World Tennis Tour, coming off of a win at the Tevlin Challenger in Toronto, lost only one match the whole week, going down against former Roland Garros champion and former World No. 2 in two sets, but winning every other match against players much higher ranked than her. Her incredible performance gave Canada the courage and belief necessary to go all the way, as Stakusic also went relatively untroubled against former Roland Garros semifinalist Martina Trevisan in the first singles against Italy.Rounding up the team, US Open women's doubles champion Gaby Dabrowski partnered up with Fernandez in the critical match against Czechia to defeat multiple Grand Slam champions Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova to send Canada to the final.Rebecca Marino and Genie Bouchard also left their hearts on the court, with Bouchard taking on to the court in doubles.At the end of it all, Heidi El Tabakh also got her much awaited and deserved triumph with Team Canada as the team captain. The cheerful, but calm and focused captain's actions and critical decision making led Canada to be at its optimal state to finally lift the coveted trophy for the first time in the competition's history.Talk to us on social media :)Follow Crina Mustafa!Twitter: @crinammFollow Tennis and Bagels: Twitter @TennisAndBAGELSAndre Rolemberg @RolembergAndreVansh Vermani @vanshv2kOwen Lewis @tennisnationCheck out Popcorn Tennis!Twitter: @Popcorn_Tennis1Website: popcorntennis.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der Zusammenfassung vom zwölften Tag der US Open 2021. Am Freitag standen die Halbfinals der Herren auf dem Programm und am Ende setzten sich die beiden Topgesetzten des Turniers durch. So treffen am Sonntag im Finale Novak Djokovic und Daniil Medvedev aufeinander. Für Djokovic ist somit immer noch die Chance gegeben, dass er den Grand Slam holt. Medvedev dreht den 2. Satz gegen FAA Daniil Medvedev gewann im Halbfinale gegen Felix Auger-Aliassime. Während er den ersten Satz mit dem eigenen Serve dominierte, hätte er den zweiten Durchgang durchaus abgeben können. Denn bei 5:3 hatte Auger-Aliassime die Chance den Satz auszuservieren, erspielte sich zwei Satzbälle, doch Medvedev machte die Schotten dicht, spielte sehr gute Defensive und Auger-Aliassime machte die Fehler. Im Anschluss konnte Medvedev sein Level aufrechterhalten während Auger-Aliassime an seines nicht mehr herankam. So stand am Ende ein ziemlich klarer Sieg in drei Sätzen. Djokovic fehlerlos in den wichtigen Momenten Weniger eindeutig ging die Partie zugunsten von Novak Djokovic aus. Der benötigte fünf Sätze, um sich gegen Alexander Zverev durchzusetzen. Auch wenn Djokovic den fünften Satz klar gewann, fand das Match weitestgehend auf Augenhöhe statt. Zverev - alleine durch seine Wucht erspielte sich Chancen. Djokovic konterte mit präzisem und geduldigem Tennis. Zverev machte in manchen engen Situationen Fehler während Djokovic wieder der Bloß keine Fehler Strategie folgte. So fehlt Zverev weiterhin ein Sieg gegen einen Top 10 Spieler bei einem Grand Slam und Djokovic kann wahrlich Historisches am Sonntag schaffen. Doch bevor am Sonntag Medvedev und Djokovic um den Titel spielen, geht der Blick erst Mal kurz zum Doppelwettbewerb bei den Herren. Hier konnten sich Rajeev Ram und Joe Salisbury ihren zweiten gemeinsamen Grand Slam Titel holen. Zudem gibt es noch eine kurze Vorschau des Samstagabends, wenn das Finale der Damen stattfindet: Zwei Teenagerinnen, zwei Novizinnen mit der Chance auf den ersten großen Titel.
