Il torneo cinese, disputatosi in condizioni climatiche atroci, ha visto molteplici protagonisti cadere vittima del gran caldo, compreso Jannik Sinner che sembrava il superfavorito per la vittoria finale.Nel circuito femminile vittoria per Anisimova a Pechino e Gauff a Wuhan, dove Paolini ha raggiunto la semifinale battendo Swiatek e facendo un altro passo avanti verso la qualificazione delle WTA Finals di Riad.Dopo una settimana di pausa, Vanni Gibertini e Luca Baldissera ritornano nel loro consueto appuntamento video per parlare dei temi tennistici di questo inizio ottobre e, come di consueto, per rispondere alle domande degli spettatori.Dopo il successo del 2024, viene riproposta in versione ampliata la raccolta di contributi per supportare Vanni e Luca nelle loro trasferte per seguire dal posto i tornei più importanti del circuito.

This is another celebratory episode in response to Coco Gauff's incredible run to the Wuhan title. “Big Coco, never the little one” won all of her matches in straight sets at the WTA 1000. It's the American's second crown of the year following her French Open triumph earlier this season. The 21-year-old world No 3 now has 11 singles titles to her name, including two majors and three WTA 1000s (and don't forget the year-end Finals title last year). Jasmine Paolini also did herself proud in Wuhan with a 6-1, 6-2 statement-victory over Iga Swiatek – a player she had never beaten before – in the quarter-finals. Paolini was beaten by eventual champion Gauff in a competitive semi-final. The Italian is now in Ningbo looking to secure a WTA Finals singles spot. To close we share our thoughts on the family affair in Shanghai – shout out to champion Valentin Vacherot and his runner-up cousin Arthur Rinderknech. We also ask why it's proving so difficult for guys to step up in the absence of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.” Don't forget to rate, review and share on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Audioboom.

Former US Open champion Naomi Osaka has caused an upset at the tennis tournament in New York by defeating third seed Coco Gauff in straight sets. The 27-year-old Japanese player is back into the quarter-finals of the grand slam for the first time in five years. She's also creating a stir with her lucky charms for matches which honour Black American tennis players. Sports reporter Felicity Reid talks to Lisa Owen.
Taylor Townsend pushed two-time Grand Slam champion Barbora Krejickova close in an epic three-set battle on Louis Armstrong. The American had eight match points but was unable to convert. The doubles world No 1 still has unfinished business in New York with doubles partner Katerina Siniakova. Felix Auger-Aliassime is looking more and more like the top 10 player he was back in 2022. The 25th seed took out 15th seed Andrey Rublev in straight sets on Arthur Ashe in the opening match on Labor Day. FAA, through to the last eight in New York for the first time since 2019, is playing with a swagger that can carry him a long way. In the day's most anticipated match, Naomi Osaka was too hot to handle for third seed Coco Gauff. The two-time US Open champion saw off the American 6-3, 6-2 in 64 minutes to set up a quarter-final clash with 11th seed Karolina Muchova. We cannot wait for Osaka vs Gauff when both players are in peak form. Listen out for post-match press snippets from Auger-Aliassime and Gauff. Credits: US Open Tennis Championships.

Jon Wertheim is here on Quick Served with a Day 7 recap. Jon goes into the notable matches from yesterday including Zverev's loss to FAA, Jannik Sinner's (relatively) rocky match against Dennis Shapovalov, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka finding their form set to battle each other in the next round. All of these stories and more in today's recap ! Stay tuned for tomorrow's Quick Served! COMMENT BELOW Who's going to win the Osaka vs Gauff match? What did you think of Jannik Sinner's match yesterday?
Round 3 of the US Open had everything: injuries, drama, and plenty of star power in the stands. We dig into Ben Shelton's tough setback, Sinner's tricky test against Shapo, Alcaraz's dominant run, and Taylor Fritz quietly holding strong. And yes, we even get into the celeb scene, from Russell Wilson and LL Cool J courtside to who didn't quite make the “celebrity cut.” On the women's side, Coco Gauff bounced back after a shaky start, while Taylor Townsend kept the drama rolling. Now all eyes are on the blockbuster clash between Gauff and Naomi Osaka, a matchup that could help define the tournament. We wrap with some chatter on tennis's unwritten rules (do you really have to apologize for a let cord?), a few fan habits that drive us crazy, and an update on our bracket standings… let's just say not everyone's thrilled. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:34 Celebrity Sightings at the US Open 01:56 Ben Shelton's Injury and Perspective 03:37 Jannik Sinner's Performance 05:21 Carlos Alcaraz and His Impressive Run 06:13 Taylor Fritz's Match Recap 07:02 Novak Djokovic's So Far 11:06 Round of 16 Popcorn Matches 13:06 Women's Draw Highlights 13:49 Coco Gauff's Performance So Far 14:34 Taylor Townsend's Impressive Run 19:28 Unwritten Rules of Tennis and Fan Annoyances 20:54 Bracket Updates and Episode Wrap-Up
'Chunky' George Bellshaw and James Gray go through the last 32 of the US Open with only 22 of 64 seeds now remaining. Emma Raducanu was thrashed by Elena Rybakina, her third such chastening grand slam exit of the year. Where does she go from here? Ben Shelton retired in tears after injuring his left shoulder in a fall against Adrian Mannarino Taylor Townsend 'has a job to do' and keeps on doing it, while Jelena Ostapenko scrambles to save her reputation PLUS: Djokovic injury concern; Shapovalov draws quality out of Sinner; Gauff vs Osaka is locked Learn more about your ad choices.

We round up the Day 7 tennis at the US Open 2025. Jannik Sinner prevailed against Denis Shapovalov after dropping the 1st set in his toughest match of the tournament so far, but he faces the in form Bublik next. Felix Auger-Aliassime crushed Zverev with some fantastic tennis to make it into round 4. Iga Swiatek struggled in the first set against Kalinskaya with poor serving and had to come back from 5-1 down to eventually win it. Osaka and Gauff now meet in the most anticipated match of round 4. ❤️ SUBSCRIBE TO GTL: https://bit.ly/35JyOhz ▶️ JOIN YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://bit.ly/3Fk9rSr
Coco Gauff beat Magdelena Frech 6-2, 6-3 in the first match on Arthur Ashe. The third seed, who said she “felt a lot lighter going on court”, put up some good numbers against Frech. Stat sheet made for nice reading for the 2023 champion, too. Was nearly perfect at the net 10/11, won 71% of points on first serve and only hit four double faults (one in the first and three in the second). Naomi Osaka handled (15)Daria Kasatkina in three sets – 6-0, 4-6, 6-2 on Louis Armstrong. The two-time champ was near flawless in the first set, had a wobble in the second after Kasatkina raised her level, but locked back in during the third set to close out the match and book her place in the second week. The Japanese shared her thoughts on facing Gauff. Felix Auger-Aliassime took down third seed Alexander Zverev in four sets – 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 – in a performance that took us back to the days when FAA was a top 10 player. The Canadian was teeing off from the forehand wing and was evidently loving the conditions in New York, which he alluded to during his post-match presser. Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are going strong in doubles, they beat Ulrikke Eikeri and Eri Hozumi 7-6(1), 6-1. So are top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova, who beat Alycia Parks and Dayana Yastremska 6-3, 6-3 on a packed Court 12. Credits: US Open Tennis Championships.

The US Open is heating up in New York and Round 3 brought yet more drama in abundance. Jannik Sinner survived a stern test from Denis Shapovalov but is still searching for his best tennis, while Coco Gauff powered past Magdalena Frech to set up a much-anticipated fourth-round clash with Naomi Osaka. Joel and Chris look at their head to head and decide who will a (presumed) Arthur Ashe night session slot favour most - or could we be in store for some 'car crash tennis' as Joel puts it. Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina once again proved too strong for Emma Raducanu, with Joel and Chris discussing how the Brit can best handle ultra-aggressive opponents.Elsewhere, Taylor Townsend continued her fairytale run with a stunning win over Mirra Andreeva as Jelena Ostapenko published another Instagram story update. Novak Djokovic overcame brief back injury concerns to edge past Cameron Norrie, and Adrian Mannarino advanced in bizarre circumstances whilst on a bathroom break after Ben Shelton's tearful retirement on court. Off-court, fan behavior sparked controversy when a millionaire CEO was caught stealing a signed hat meant for a child from Polish player Kamil Majchrzak, adding fuel to discussions about crowd conduct at the US Open.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.

George Bellshaw is back off his cruise and relishing dry land - and US Open drama! He joins James Gray to look back at a controversial second round of action. Jelena Ostapenko is forced to deny allegations of racism after calling Taylor Townsend "not educated" and "no class" after a fractious second-round match Jack Draper pulls out of the second round with an arm injury (just a week after playing in the mixed doubles exhibition) Coco Gauff beats Donna Vekic having been sobbing into her towel during the first set - and says it was a vulnerable moment that she was able to "reset" from Stefanos Tsitsipas warns Daniel Altmaier for hitting a string of underarm serves against him that he will keep trying to hit him - but nevertheless the Greek is out PLUS How are you faring in Fantasy Tennis Unfiltered?

In a match that had three sets written all over it coming in, Naomi Osaka beat Hailey Baptiste in straights – 6-3, 6-1. The American made a nervy start and was unable to force her way into the match as a result of Osaka's level which was ultimately too good. We asked about her tactics. Gabriel Diallo lost out in three close sets to Jaume Munar. The Canadian 31st seed was unable to take control like he has done in previous meetings against the Spaniard. Felix Auger-Aliassime beat Roman Safiullin 6-1, 7-6, 7-6. FAA seems to be finding his confidence in New York. His next opponent is third seed Alexander Zverev. The head-to-head is one-sided in Zverev's favour, but the Canadian has beaten the German in their only meeting at a Grand Slam. Our last match of the day was Coco Gauff versus Donna Vekic on Arthur Ashe. Many expected a three-setter but the American third seed got things done in straights. She was emotional both during the match and during the on-court interview, but was incredible in her post-match presser. To finish, we talk doubles where Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez got their campaign off to a winning start, as did top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova.

Plus, David watched Naomi Osaka win to set up a mouthwatering clash with Hailey Baptiste, Matt reports on Amanda Anisimova, and Iga Swiatek reacted to the news of Taylor Swift's engagement.

In "Serving Aces", Alexandra Stevenson and co-host Hugues Laverdiere talk first day at US Open. They have a play by play at the end of Medvedev's five set loss, and their break out stars at the US Open. Alexandra talks about possible matchups and chooses Eala and Fonseca and Korda as her break out players. The discussion centers on the Gauff serve, the stringers, and the power of racquets in today's game. They touch on American women and American men, with Alexandra favoring Shelton - and Ougi favoring Mboko. Alexandra questions Ougi on all North American players and his take on each of them. The podcast has a truly sound quote of the day from John McEnroe that easily tells what Medvedev and all players feel at some point..."The thrill of winning is not as great as the pain of losing." While watching Medvedev pound and break his racquet, this quote is eloquent. Alexandra gives a shout out to the college football season starting this week and the NFL on Sept 4.
