Part two (33:08) - We discuss the way Felix Auger-Aliqssime and Lorenzo Musetti both wilted in the heat, another tough loss for Alex De Minaur, the end of Gael Monfils' Grand Slam career, and why Taylor Fritz is so convincing at the moment.

Ben and Tumaini are back together, this time as they watch the zenlike experience of powerwashing the Grandstand court. We cover various second round topics, including Fran Jones' remarkable story, Aryna Sabalenka snapping at a reporter, ITIA investigating the DraftKings party, Gael Monfils' seeking an office job, Felix Auger-Aliassime's benefit of the doubt, Rafael Jodar's inexperience, Ben's bucket list schedule-making story, and world feed weirdness. We then, like everyone else, weigh into "influencer" discourse, which has been one of many hot topics at this tournament as ring lights and narcissism crowd the grounds. Who is and isn't an "influencer", anyhow? Is there space or value for them in tennis? Thank you for listening! You can read Ben's work at Bounces and Tumaini's at The Guardian. Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts convene to discuss a rain-affected day at the US Open which ended with top seed Alexander Zverev coming within two points of defeat before eventually winning at 1:55am.Part one - Men. We react to Zverev's win over Lorenzo Sonego, including the dazzling tennis played at times by the Italian, the lateness of it all, and whether Zverev has played himself into form or not. Elsewhere, we cover Flavio Cobolli's first ever comeback from two sets down and a win for the incomparable Gael Monfils on his 40th birthday. Part two (28:51) - We discuss Coco Gauff's first round victory over Zeynep Sonmez and how it revealed the tough viewing experience for tennis fans inside the Arthur Ashe stadium at night. Plus, a nervy opening win for Madison Keys, a better-than-expected performance from Elena Rybakina, a strong start for Alexandra Eala, and a big win for Yulia Putintseva over Belinda Bencic in a match where Bencic was fortunate not to be defaulted. Part three (53:54) - A look ahead to Wednesday's order of play which still has some first round matches left to finish, as well as Jessica Pegula and Ben Shelton with potentially tricky matches on Ashe.Thank you to Steve Furgal's International Tennis Tours Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast, the Premium Hospitality and Experience provider for supporting our US Open coverage.They can organise your dream tennis-watching experience at the biggest tournaments in the world, inducing the WTA Finals held this year at Indian Wells, 8th-15th November.Just go to Tours4Tennis.com/Podcast and use the code DEUCE5 at checkout for 5% off.5% off select WTA Finals packages with code DEUCE5 at tours4tennis.com/podcast.

Gio and Jerry host as Gio embraces full Dad mode waiting for school to start, Jerry chooses a Cowboys Super Bowl over meeting Phil Mickelson, and Yankee fans keep complaining despite the team's success and Spencer Jones' hot streak.

Finally, the show closes with Tony Romo's addiction claims, Tiger Woods' five-year license suspension, golf, Stella Lefty, and the Moment of the Day.

Ben and Tumaini are back in the media garden outside of Ashe to discuss the nearly completed first round of the U.S. Open, in which Carlos Alcaraz made an impressive comeback and Novak Djokovic suffered a slow and painful exit. We also discuss Arthur Fils' surprise loss to Stefanos Tsitsipas, a nice win by Gael Monfils, Elena Rybakina playing through pain, and Naomi Osaka's latest fashion statement.  We also discuss the U.S. Open's "trashy" deal with Kalshi, and Mary Carillo's amazing induction speech in Newport.

Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka played their final matches at Roland-Garros this year. They went out in the way they wanted, and on their own brand: Monfils almost pulling a miraculous comeback from two sets to love, but ultimately his body couldn't carry him, and Wawrinka blasting backhand winners, but now unable to match the aggression with defensive play.It was amazing.I will miss them so much.There's something weird, really sad, about watching players like these two, plus others who also played their final Roland-Garros, like David Goffin in the qualifying, and Roberto Bautista Agut, also out in the first round, saying good bye to the sport I love. It felt like I knew them, they were companions of mine. On my tv and other screens, and some lucky times live, I could count on having them around. They would do marvelous things. They would challenge the Big 3 with heart and soul. They would lose most often. They would play each other and fight till they couldn't stand.It was awesome. But every player must leave the Tour one day. At least they were able to go out the way they wanted.Also, wtf is up with the Roland-Garros vs French Open thing? That was probably the dumbest debate we've had in a while. Honestly, it was actually kind of fun lol plus I learned a bit about the recent history of the tournament!Some marketing geeking out in this episode too, if that's something you into.And here's the Christopher Clarey article on The New York Times I quoted: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/24/sports/tennis/a-puzzler-in-paris-french-open-or-roland-garros.html?pagewanted=allFavourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Part one - Day session. We cover Svitolina's hard fought win over Anna Bondar, overcoming her recent difficulties in that match up. What makes Bondar tricky for her? And how did she come through?

Happy Monday! Caddy returns to Camden Yards. The Astros throw a combined no-hitter. James Wood and C.J. Abrams leave the yard. So do Murakami and Schwarber.All of that and a salute to the Knicks and Gael Monfils.

Roland Garros 2026 Day 2 delivered drama, emotion and early French Open storylines as Iga Swiatek began her campaign in dominant fashion, Casper Ruud survived a major scare, Gael Monfils played his final ever Roland Garros match, and rising Spanish star Rafael Jodar announced himself on the Grand Slam stage.Was Ruud's escape a sign of champion mentality or a worrying red flag? Is Rafael Jodar the next big Spanish clay-court star? Can Swiatek reclaim her Roland Garros dominance? And how should we remember Gael Monfils' incredible French Open career? In this video, we break down all the biggest talking points from French Open Day 2, including Swiatek's impressive opening win, Ruud's five-set battle in the Paris heat, Monfils' emotional farewell defeat to Hugo Gaston, Zheng Qinwen's shock first-round exit, and the players who could make a deep run at Roland Garros 2026.❤️ SUBSCRIBE TO GTL: https://bit.ly/35JyOhz ▶️ JOIN YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://bit.ly/3Fk9rSr

Quel héritage Gaël Monfils et Stan Wawrinka laissent-ils sur la terre battue de la Porte d'Auteuil ? Alors que ces deux géants du circuit ATP ont disputé leur dernier match à Paris, l'heure est au bilan. Entre coups de génie, matchs légendaires en 5 sets et émotions gravées à jamais, retour sur l'empreinte laissée par "La Monf" et "Stan The Man" sur la terre parisienne.Personne n'a su faire chavirer les courts français comme Monfils. De sa demi-finale mémorable en 2008 face à Roger Federer à ses moments de transe nocturnes (on se souvient de son combat épique contre Sebastian Baez), Monfils a transcendé le tennis pour en faire un spectacle total. Il ne laisse pas seulement des statistiques, il laisse des frissons. Quel match retenez-vous en particulier ? Qui pourra oublier cette quinzaine magique où "Stan The Man", vêtu de son short à carreaux iconique, a terrassé Novak Djokovic en finale ?Retour sur 2 monstres du tennis sans oublier les tops et les flops et une partie pronostics.Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Pour cette 2e journée du tableau finale de Roland-Garros, on revient bien évidemment sur le match de Gael Monfils que j'ai eu la chance de voir en vrai contre Hugo Gaston, et bien sûr un tour d'horizon de ce que j'ai pu observer en ce lundi 25 mai !Hébergé par Ausha. Visitez ausha.co/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

Before what is expected to be his final Roland Garros, Gaël Monfils opens up about one of the biggest misconceptions of his career: that it was ever just about the show.For years, fans saw the smile, the energy, the jumping smashes, the tweeners, and the impossible athleticism. But behind all of that, Gaël says there was always one thing first: the desire to win.In this short episode, Gaël reflects on the pressure of being called a “showman,” why his spectacular style came naturally to him, the sacrifices behind a long career, the weight of comparison, and why enjoying the journey has been essential to surviving more than two decades at the highest level.As he prepares for his last Roland Garros before retiring at the end of the season, this is a tribute to one of tennis' most beloved players — in his own words.This episode is sponsored by IM8.

In "Serving Aces" Alexandra Stevenson and co-host Hugues Laverdiere talk French Open Draw.Who will meet and who will win.  The players are still protesting the lack of more percentage in prize money from French Open.  They have agreed to play, but they are only doing 10 minutes of news and five minutes of video at press day tomorrow.  During the tournament they must interview or be fined. Alexandra chooses Sinner to win it all and for the women, Svitolina.  Gael Monfils last tournament at French Open and they can ride off into the Sunset.  Ougi picked Svitolina and Andreeva.  Interesting first round matchups including Townsend and Gauff.  Djokovic and Sinner are on opposites sides.  Alcaraz is still out with his wrist injury.

Pour l'instant, difficile de dire que la tournée d'adieux de Gaël Monfils est une réussite. Le Tricolore a disputé 6 tournois cette saison pour deux petites victoires au compteur. Hier à Madrid, Monfils a été sorti dès son entrée en lice par Ugo Carabelli. À 39 ans, on voit bien que le corps ne suit plus et que les matches sont de plus en plus compliqué pour Gaël Monfils.Il y a quelques semaines, il avait annoncé que pour cette tournée d'adieux, il désirait avant tout prendre du plaisir ? Est-ce réellement le cas aujourd'hui ? Dans quel état physique arrivera-t-il à Paris qui est son "ultime" objectif. Il ne faudrait pas que cette dernière saison ressemble à un fiasco… et pourtant ça en prend le chemin. C'est le débat de "Sans Filet". On revient également sur les résultats à Madrid dans le tableau masculin et féminin.Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Le Français affrontera Alexander Bublik au prochain tour. Sur un autre court, Ugo Humbert était opposé à la révélation française de la saison : Moise Kouamé. Ugo n'a pas tremblé devant le jeune de 17 ans (6-3, 7-5) et a réussit à le faire plier en fin de deuxième manche. Eric Salliot vous propose les réactions de Gael Monfils, Ugo Humbert et Moise Kouamé. C'est parti pour la carte postale de Court N°1.

Pour cet effet rétro, l'équipe de Court N°1 vous fait revivre le finale de Monte-Carlo 2016 entre Rafael Nadal et Gael Monfils. L'Espagnol s'est imposé en trois manches (7-5, 5-7, 6-0) et n'a laissé aucune chance à Monfils dans le troisième set. Le roi Rafa remportera également l'édition 2017 et 2018. Monfils/Nadal, une finale qui a tenu toutes promesses... Souvenirs dans Court N°1...

Des regrets, sans aucun doute ! Mais également beaucoup de fierté. Les émotions ont dû être très nombreuses pour Gaël Monfils après sa défaite au 2ème tour de l'ATP 1000 d'Indian Wells face à Felix Auger-Aliassime. Mais être capable de sortir ce genre de match face à un top 10 mondial pour sa 17ème participation en Californie relève déjà de l'exploit. Le vétéran Gaël, 39 ans, a déposé les armes après une bataille de 2 heures et 16 minutes et une défaite en 3 sets. Doit-il être satisfait du dernier match de sa carrière à Indian Wells ? aurait-il pu aller chercher cette victoire ? Est-ce la sortie parfaite ? C'est le débat du jour dans "Sans Filet", et pour Monfils désormais cap sur Miami pour tenter de briller sur un autre Masters 1000. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

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".  Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Pour cette carte postale, Eric Salliot revient sur l'absence des Français en huitièmes de finale à l'Open d'Australie. Le chiffre est édifiant : 16 chelems d'affilée où le tennis français n'est pas capable d'aligner un garçon en quarts de finale. Le dernier à l'avoir fait est Gael Monfils en 2022 à Melbourne. Les fortes chaleurs sont attendues ce week-end et les matches risquent d'être étouffants. Eric revient également sur les résultats du jour et les défaites de Corentin Moutet et Arthur Géa. C'est parti pour la carte postale en Australie...

Part two (25:27) - Unfortunately there were some tougher scenes too, including another sad Grigor Dimitrov scene, Joao Fonseca struggling, Hugo Gaston retiring again Jannik Sinner, and injuries affecting Zizou Bergs against Hubert Hurkacz and Raphael Collignon against Lorenzo Musetti. It got us talking about the viability of five set tennis again.

Daily Express Senior Tennis Writer Yasmin Syed joins the podcast from Melbourne to recap the opening round of the 2026 Australian Open, where Novak Djokovic looks as fit as ever as he pursues Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner for the title. Syed examines Stan Wawrinka's form and attitude as he competes in his final tournament down under, and reacts to Joao Fonseca's early exit at the hands of Eliot Spizzirri. The journalist assesses whether Ben Shelton, Tommy Paul or another American make a run down under, and reflects on Gael Monfils' final Australian Open. On the women's side, Syed predicts which player can challenge World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. Syed dives into Amanda Anisimova's excellent form, Iga Swiatek's chances, and Naomi Osaka's outfit that captivated the entire tennis world. And Syed breaks down Viktoria Mboko's ability to contend right now, before previewing all the exciting matchups in Round 2 of The Australian Open. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

In an episode that was released as a video overnight for our Patreon backers,  Ben and Tumaini catch up on the happenings of the tennis tours in China, including 204th-ranked Valentin Vacherot somehow winning ATP 1000 Shanghai, beating his first cousin Arthur Rinderknech in the title. Is it the most shocking title we can recall? We also discuss Zverev's much-mocked complaints about surfaces being rigged for Sinner and Alcaraz, the stellar seasons US women are having--but which has been best?--the Hall of Fame candidacies of Roger Federer, Juan Martin del Potro and Svetlana Kuznetsova, and an ode to Gael Monfils on the occasion of his retirement announcement. And then for something different, we discussed Tumaini's deep dive into how tennis players feel about their requirement to be woken up to pee in front of strangers.

The broadcaster dives into the brutal conditions in Shanghai, and compares Novak Djokovic finally getting the adulation from the crowd to that of Martina Navratilova as he fights on in Asia. Shriver goes in depth about several topics including Carlos Alcaraz showing wisdom in his schedule, Coco Gauff's working plan for her serve, and the race for the WTA's No. 1 ranking between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek.

Catherine, David and Matt discuss titles for Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as well as the opening stages of the WTA 1000 in Beijing. Part one - Men's results. We start by reacting to Alcaraz's triumph in Tokyo, despite an injury scare. Is this the best tennis of Alcaraz's career? We also discuss Alcaraz's decision to withdraw from Shanghai and the over-saturation of two week Masters 1000 events as the injuries and retirements pile up. Over in Beijing, Sinner experimented with his game en route to the title and Lorenzo Musetti got booed and was forced to apologise after a rant about Chinese fans. Part two - Women's results (54m). With the quarter-finals taking shape in Beijing, we cover Amanda Anisimova's comeback victory over Karolina Muchova, the impressive Eva Lys and Sonny Kartal, and some aggro in the match between Belinda Bencic and Coco Gauff.

The Asian swing is in full flight, and Tennis Weekly has all the latest headlines, results, and talking points from Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai. Carlos Alcaraz struck back with swift Laver Cup revenge over Taylor Fritz to capture his eighth title of the season in Tokyo, while Jannik Sinner bounced back in style to secure a second crown in Beijing. We also reflect on Gael Monfils' emotional announcement that he will retire at the end of 2026, celebrating the career of one of the sport's most electrifying entertainers.On the WTA side, the China Open is serving up shocks: Emma Navarro stunned world No. 1 Iga Świątek—dishing out a bagel along the way—while fellow Americans Jessica Pegula, Coco Gauff, and Amanda Anisimova also powered into the quarterfinals. Britain's Sonay Kartal has mounted a surprise run, but there was heartbreak for Emma Raducanu, who bowed out after another dramatic match filled with missed chances. Plus, Roger Federer has sparked debate with his comments on court speeds—are tournaments really slowing surfaces to favor Alcaraz and Sinner? And finally, we look ahead to Shanghai, where Sinner defends his title and Novak Djokovic makes his long-awaited return.BABOLAT Pure Strike OfferGo to babolat.com and use code: TENNISWEEKLY15 for an EXCLUSIVE 15% off their new Pure Strike Range(Offer valid until 7th October)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.

Day 2 at Wimbledon was hot, it was humid, and there was havoc as more seeds fell at the first hurdle. In Part 1 we discuss the shock exit of Coco Gauff at the hands of Dayana Yastremska and what it says about the difficulty of backing up a French Open win when Wimbledon is right around the corner. We also lost recent title winner Jessica Pegula and then Zheng Qinwen. Some big names did go through, most notably Iga Swiatek and defending champion Barbora Krejcikova. Finally, we cover Petra Kvitova's last match on the grass courts of SW19. In Part 2 (36m44s) we talk though the matches held over from last night, in which there were very different fates for a fang-tastic Fritz who fought back to beat Giovanni MPetshi Perricard, and a chastened Zverev who went down to Arthur Rinderknech. We discuss some difficult moments in his press conference and what he needs to change to find his form. There were emotional wins today for veterans Dan Evans and Gael Monfils, and whilst Musetti struggled with his post-injury form, big names Sinner, Draper and Djokovic all went through with relative ease. In Part 3 (72m08s) we look ahead to tomorrow's order of play and its tantalising line-up of second round matches, many of which are now not quite what we expected.Become a Friend of The Tennis PodcastCheck out our ⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠!

Part one - It was an extraordinary day in the men's draw but nothing was more incredible than Arthur Fils' five set victory over Jaume Munar on Suzanne Lenglen. We describe the twists and turns of the match, the spine tingling atmosphere, and what it might mean for Fils in this tournament.

Part two (41m20s) - It was a less thrilling day in the women's event, but we cover straight sets wins for both Mirra Andreeva and Coco Gauff as well as a third round to look forward to between Jessica Pegula and Marketa Vondrousova Part three (53m07s) - Jack Draper's impressive win over Gael Monfils, a recognition of best of five set tennis, and a look ahead to Day 6.Buy tickets for Tennis Podcast Live in London on Thursday 26th June at Shoreditch Town Hall.
