Depois de duas semanas de jogos, o torneio de Roland-Garros chega ao fim neste domingo (7) com uma edição que já entra para a história do tênis brasileiro. Em 2026, o país alcançou seu maior número de vitórias em um único Grand Slam: 37 triunfos, superando as 26 conquistas do US Open de 2014. O desempenho se distribuiu entre simples, duplas, juvenil e cadeirantes e reflete um momento de renovação e consistência, coroado com o título de Luis Guto Miguel no torneio juvenil. Maria Paula Carvalho, de Roland-Garros O grande destaque foi o jovem João Fonseca. Aos 19 anos, o carioca chegou às quartas de final e alcançou o melhor resultado recente de um brasileiro no torneio, algo que não acontecia nas fases mais altas da competição desde a era de Gustavo Kuerten. O tricampeão de Roland-Garros, inclusive, esteve presente em Paris para acompanhar e apoiar a nova promessa. Fonseca também protagonizou uma das maiores surpresas da edição ao eliminar, de virada, o sérvio Novak Djokovic, maior campeão de Grand Slams da história. Na sequência, superou o norueguês Casper Ruud, duas vezes finalista em Paris. Após a eliminação para o tcheco Jakub Mensik, o brasileiro avaliou de forma positiva a campanha e destacou o aprendizado ao longo do torneio. “Eu me sinto bem. Foi um caminho muito bom. Duas semanas muito positivas, de muito trabalho duro e aprendizado. Eu não tinha expectativa e consegui um ótimo resultado. Consegui virar um jogo que estava quase perdido, totalmente dominado na segunda rodada… então fico feliz com a semana.” A campanha projeta João Fonseca no cenário internacional e recoloca o Brasil em evidência no tênis masculino. No simples feminino, no entanto, o resultado ficou abaixo do esperado. Principal nome do país, Beatriz Haddad Maia foi eliminada ainda na primeira rodada, após derrota de virada para a britânica Francesca Jones. Stefani perde na semifinal Nas duplas, o desempenho brasileiro foi mais consistente. A paulista Luisa Stefani chegou às semifinais ao lado da canadense Gabriela Dabrowski, confirmando sua regularidade entre as principais especialistas do circuito.  Na sexta-feira (5) elas foram derrotadas pela dupla formada pela tcheca Katerina Siniakova e a americana Taylor Townsend. Em entrevista à RFI após o jogo, Stefani analisou a derrota. “Ontem à noite, eu tive dor de garganta, dor de cabeça. A energia talvez não seja a mesma, mas isso não justifica. O que mais me chateia é que eu queria ter tido mais disposição, uma execução melhor e ter enfrentado melhor essa dificuldade”, disse. “É uma pena. Parece uma oportunidade desperdiçada", continuou. "Uma semifinal é sempre uma boa campanha, mas, conforme o torneio vai afunilando, o desafio fica cada vez maior. Então, é preciso manter o foco no que a gente vem fazendo bem, executar, e isso faltou hoje”, concluiu.    Entre os homens, o gaúcho Marcelo Demoliner avançou até as quartas de final nas duplas, ao lado do indiano N. Sriram Balaji, reforçando a presença brasileira nas fases decisivas. Ao fim da campanha, ele destacou a confiança adquirida. “Feliz com a participação nas quartas de final inédita, que vai dar uma confiança boa para o decorrer da temporada. Agora é aproveitar essa confiança e ir para a grama, na próxima semana, que é o meu habitat natural, onde eu mais gosto de jogar.” Torcedores marcaram presença Fora das quadras, a presença brasileira também chamou atenção. Durante as duas semanas de competição, torcedores com as cores verde e amarelo ocuparam o complexo esportivo na zona oeste de Paris. O engenheiro civil Carlos Frazão se mostrou impressionado com a nova geração de atletas. “Pois é, muita gente boa nova surgindo no tênis. Acho que o João Fonseca ajudou muito essa nova geração a aparecer. A gente está torcendo para surgirem muitos novos ‘Joões Fonsecas'.” A avaliação se repete entre outros torcedores. Para o administrador Cristiano França, nunca houve uma presença tão expressiva de brasileiros no torneio. “A nova geração… nunca vi tanto brasileiro em Roland-Garros. Depois do Gustavo Kuerten, agora estamos vendo muito mais brasileiros e espero que continue assim”, disse à RFI. Nova geração: Luis Guto é campeão Essa presença se reflete também entre os mais jovens. Naná, Victoria e Pedro estão entre alguns dos jovens nomes que se destacaram. Mas a grande estrela foi o goiano Luis Guto Miguel, que aos 17 anos, venceu a sua primeira final de Grand Slam. ele derrotou o americano Michael Antonius, de 16 anos, por dois a zero, com parciais de 6/3 e 6/4. “Estou muito feliz, aproveitando o momento, mas mantendo a humildade, porque temos muito a fazer”, afirmou na entrevista coletiva após o título inédito. De Paris, Luís volta ao Brasil, onde deve continuar a celebrar sua conquista, mas já com o foco voltado para os próximos passos de sua promissora carreira. “Seria um sonho voltar aqui no ano que vem jogando como profissional, mas, como eu falei, é preciso colocar muito trabalho duro, manter os pés no chão, aproveitar o momento agora, mas viver tudo passo a passo dessa trajetória, porque essa transição não é fácil. Trabalho duro é a chave do processo”, insiste. Ele tem consciência de que sua conquista deve inspirar outros jovens tenistas, mas seu recado é firme e direto: “Eu acho que estou mostrando para a galera mais jovem brasileira que é possível trabalhar duro, acreditar no processo e nos treinadores”, afirma. Em entrevista à RFI, no sábado, declarou: "É um sonho, porque desde pequeno eu sonhava em estar jogando nestas quadras. Agora já sou número 1 do ranking mundial, então é muita coisa acontecendo".  Na semifinal, Luis Guto derrotou o conterrâneo e amigo, Leonardo França, outra bela supresa do torneio júnior. “Saio de cabeça erguida, em todos os jogos entreguei o meu melhor”, avaliou o tenista.  A gaúcha Pietra Rivoli, de 18 anos, é outro exemplo dessa nova leva. Ela destacou o impacto de conviver de perto com grandes nomes do circuito. “Estar perto da Sabalenka, da Osaka, do João… ver o que eles fazem dentro e fora da quadra é muito inspirador. Jogar em uma Phelippe-Chatrier lotada faz a gente querer trabalhar ainda mais para chegar lá um dia”, disse em entrevista à RFI. No balanço geral, Roland-Garros 2026 consolida uma participação positiva do Brasil, combinando resultados expressivos, presença em diversas categorias e o surgimento de um novo protagonista no cenário internacional.

Zach Heinzerling, the Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated director behind Netflix's new four-part documentary series Rafa. The series follows Rafael Nadal across the final year of his career, from his 2024 return through his retirement, while reaching back across two decades to tell the fuller story of one of the most decorated and most physically punished athletes in the history of tennis. The series goes beyond the 22 Grand Slams and 14 French Open titles to reveal what it cost to win them: a rare, incurable foot condition called Müller-Weiss syndrome, diagnosed when Rafa was just nineteen; years of aggressive medical intervention that left him with perforated intestines; and a 2022 Roland Garros run played on a foot deadened by nerve-blocking injections. For the first time on camera, Rafa removes his sock and shows the foot itself — an image he had guarded from the public for twenty years. The series also explores the formative role of his uncle and longtime coach Toni Nadal, whose tough-love methods shaped Rafa from the age of three; the anxiety and ritual beneath the on-court persona; and the rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic that defined a generation, including the now-famous Laver Cup farewell where Rafa and Federer sat side by side and wept. Featuring testimony from Federer, Djokovic, John McEnroe, and the family, coaches, and inner circle who have stood beside Nadal his entire career, Rafa is less a highlight reel than a portrait of a champion in negotiation with his own body — and an answer, or an attempt at one, to the question of why he kept playing long after that body told him to stop.

Catherine, David and Matt report from media day at Roland Garros as the top players cut short their media commitments in a protest over prize money and treatment from the Grand Slams. Part one - We discuss how today's protest played out and whether it met our expectations. Why did it all feel a little bit flat? In what way could it have been successful? And what is next for this movement? Part two (18:14) - Away from the protest, what did the players have to say in their press conferences? We discuss Aryna Sabalenka's positive update on her fitness, a huge shift from Emma Raducanu as she detailed working with Andrew Richardson again, how to interpret Novak Djokovic's comments about his preparation, and Taylor Fritz's reality check over his knee.

Começa neste domingo (24) a fase principal do torneio de Roland-Garros, o único Grand Slam disputado no saibro, com a presença de dois representantes brasileiros em quadra: João Fonseca, no masculino, e Beatriz Haddad Maia, no feminino. A edição deste ano é marcada não apenas pelas disputas em quadra, mas também por uma polêmica fora dela: os valores pagos aos jogadores e a divisão das receitas do torneio. Maria Paula Carvalho, de Roland-Garros Roland-Garros é palco de uma discussão cada vez mais presente no circuito profissional de tênis: a divisão das receitas do esporte. Nos últimos meses, alguns dos principais nomes do circuito mundial passaram a pressionar os organizadores para aumentar a participação dos atletas nos lucros gerados pelas competições. O debate ganhou força com a circulação de um manifesto assinado por jogadores de elite, entre eles o número um do mundo, Jannik Sinner, a líder do ranking feminino Aryna Sabalenka, além do sérvio Novak Djokovic e da americana Coco Gauff. A principal reivindicação é uma fatia maior das receitas totais. Para 2026, Roland-Garros anunciou uma premiação recorde de € 61,7 milhões, cerca de 10% superior à do ano anterior. Os campeões de simples vão receber € 2,8 milhões cada, mais de R$ 16 milhões, enquanto os vice-campeões ficam com € 1,4 milhão. Já os atletas eliminados na primeira rodada garantem cerca de € 87 mil, o equivalente a R$ 505 mil. Apesar dos números expressivos, jogadores consideram que a participação nas receitas ainda é limitada. Estimativas indicam que entre 14% e 15% da arrecadação total do torneio é destinada à premiação — proporção que, segundo os atletas, deveria se aproximar de 22%, em linha com outros eventos esportivos. A diretora do torneio, Amélie Mauresmo, reagiu às críticas e reconheceu a importância do debate, mas destacou as especificidades do modelo francês. Em entrevista a jornalistas, da qual a RFI participou, ela reconheceu a tensão em torno do tema e lamentou a forma como o movimento foi conduzido, reiterando que o diálogo está aberto. “Estamos um pouco 'tristes', entre aspas, com essa escolha, porque acaba penalizando todos os envolvidos no torneio — os jogadores, os fãs e a imprensa”, declarou. “A discussão foi lançada, será assunto de reuniões. Nós queremos conversar, trocar ideias, avançar. Cada um precisa dar um passo, mas estou confiante”, disse. Mauresmo também destacou as particularidades do modelo de Roland-Garros, administrado pela Federação Francesa de Tênis (FFT), diferentemente de outros torneios do circuito. Segundo ela, a organização tem investido em melhorias estruturais e no aumento da premiação. “Nós temos um modelo. O torneio pertence à Federação Francesa de Tênis, o que é muito diferente do que existe nos torneios da ATP, da WTA e mesmo de outros Grand Slams. Colocamos à disposição tudo o que podemos, no interesse dos jogadores. As infraestruturas melhoraram e os prêmios em dinheiro dobraram em dez anos”, afirmou. "Não devo nada a ninguém", diz João Fonseca Em entrevista aos jornalistas, o brasileiro João Fonseca comentou sobre a polêmica dos prêmios. "Eu fui notificado disso, nenhum jogador chegou a falar comigo, mas eu sei sobre o protesto que eles estão fazendo", relatou. "Mas não tenho poder para opinar porque é só meu segundo Roland-Garros. Estou focando no meu jogo, não tenho do que reclamar", acrescentou.  João Fonseca chega à competição após uma estreia promissora em 2025, quando alcançou a terceira rodada — desempenho que alimenta as expectativas para esta edição. Ele fez uma comparação entre a estreia, ano passado, e agora. “Eu acho que, do ano passado para cá, é muito diferente. Sou um João completamente diferente. Com uma mentalidade diferente, as pressões são diferentes", avalia. "Eu era um João que não devia nada a ninguém, sigo não devendo nada a ninguém, mas ninguém sabia o quanto eu poderia jogar. Eu era uma zebra no torneio", lembra. "E agora, mais concretizado no top 30, eu tenho que defender os meus pontos", continua. "Hoje sou um João mais maduro, sabendo lidar com a experiência de cinco sets. No final das contas, estou melhor mentalmente, fisicamente, tecnicamente. Tem tudo para ser um bom torneio", conclui. O jogador também falou sobre o que aprendeu ao enfrentar os melhores do mundo, como Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner e Alexander Zverev, em torneios este ano.  “O aprendizado é como esses caras lidam com a pressão super bem. Eles conseguem manter a calma nos momentos importantes, quando as coisas estão difíceis", continua. "Eu sou um jogador que bota bastante pressão no adversário, fazendo ele ficar em apuros, porque gosto de jogar agressivo", diz. "E eles se mantêm calmos, sabendo a hora de jogar com mais intensidade, de colocar as bolas para me fazer pensar", completa. Bia Haddad tem nova equipe Já Bia Haddad Maia, semifinalista em Roland-Garros em 2023, busca reencontrar o melhor nível após um início de temporada irregular. Em 2026, ela acumula quatro vitórias e 15 derrotas. E acaba de mudar de técnico. Agora treina com o espanhol Carlos Martinez Comet. "Todos os jogadores buscam mudanças e melhorias, todas as mudanças são naturais, os relacionamentos têm um ciclo", disse em entrevistas a jornalistas, antes da estreia. "O que sempre me deu confiança é a tranquilidade de que eu estou fazendo o meu 100%", continuou. Ela conta que passou por muitas mudanças nos últimos 18 meses. "É claro que o principal é a mudança de dentro para fora quando eu estou nesse ambiente, com essas pessoas, e é o que eu estou buscando agora. Estou querendo me escutar para saber quem eu quero ser desse ponto da minha carreira para frente", analisa Bia Haddad. "Eu estou procurando a forma que eu quero jogar. Quando a gente muda a equipe, muda um pouco a parte técnica e estratégica. Eu quero ser a Bia com alguns ajustes, mas não perder a minha personalidade. Eu acho que perdi um pouco da agressividade e sobre isso a gente está trabalhando", explicou a jogadora.  "Eu jogo tênis porque eu gosto, porque eu amo. O resultado em si importa pouco nesse momento. E o que importa é eu estar concentrada para conseguir melhorar essas coisas, porque o meu nível de tênis já está começando a ficar alto de novo nos treinos. É uma questão de tempo", conclui. Outros tenistas brasileiros, eliminados no torneio classificatório, acompanham a competição na torcida. “A gente sempre quer ver os brasileiros indo bem”, afirmou Thiago Seyboth Wild em entrevista à RFI. Gustavo Heide também aposta em uma boa campanha dos compatriotas: “O João já mostrou do que é capaz. A Bia não vive o melhor momento, mas tem qualidade para voltar forte a qualquer hora.” 600 mil espectadores esperados Roland-Garros é um dos torneios mais tradicionais do tênis mundial e um dos mais queridos pelos torcedores brasileiros. É disputado desde 1891, antes da era profissional da modalidade. Este ano, o evento deve atrair mais de 600 mil espectadores ao longo das duas semanas de competição. Nas arquibancadas, o clima é de entusiasmo. Muitos aproveitam a viagem não apenas para acompanhar partidas, mas também para viver a experiência completa do torneio, que mistura esporte, lazer e turismo. Foi o caso da brasileira Ana Beatriz Peixoto, que escolheu Roland-Garros para celebrar o aniversário ao lado de amigos. “Sempre foi um sonho. Eu jogo tênis desde pequena e, agora que moro na França, era a oportunidade perfeita”, contou. Para ela, o interesse crescente pelo tênis no Brasil também se reflete no público presente. “Com a Bia e agora o João, o Brasil está melhorando bastante. Tem uma geração nova forte chegando”. Paulo Certec, professor de inglês, falou à RFI sobre a emoção de voltar ao templo do tênis parisiense. “Não é a minha primeira vez. Eu gosto bastante de tênis, já tive a oportunidade de estar aqui e estou feliz de ter voltado", disse. "João é a nossa grande estrela, espero que ele consiga no saibro chegar bem longe no torneio e nos dar mais uma alegria como o Guga deu em 2000 e 2001", acrescentou. Gustavo Kuerten também foi vencedor do torneio em 1997. Entre os torcedores, o passado glorioso do tênis brasileiro segue presente. O nome do tricampeão em Paris ainda é frequentemente lembrado. “Quando dizemos que somos brasileiros, sempre vem a referência do Guga”, observa o arquiteto Felipe Simão. “E acho que temos um ‘tempero' diferente na torcida”. Se esse “tempero” vai se traduzir em resultados dentro de quadra, é o que os próximos dias em Roland-Garros irão revelar.

The Tennis PXP man on the French Open starting this week, Will there be boycotts of grand slams (?), Carlos Alcaraz out + more

This week, it is two huge topics that dominate the discussion. For those of you with a passion for football, the chaos engulfing Real Madrid at the moment on multiple fronts will no doubt have caught your attention. From the 70m signatures on a petition to remove Mbappe from the club to the Tchouameni/Valverde fight that ended up in hospital, not to mention the return of Jose Mourinho, there is a bucket load to dive into. While that may fall more on the gossip side, it is the product of the club's management and the culture that exists that clearly runs from the President to the dressing room. Add to this the increasingly heated dispute between tennis players and the Grand Slams over their pay packets, and we have ourselves a breakdown.Disclaimer:The content of this podcast is intended as commentary and opinion on matters of public interest in the sports industry.

What does it really take to coach at the very top of the game?And how does a 32-year-old coach find himself leading the journey of one of the fastest-rising players in world tennis?In this episode of Control the Controllables, we sit down with Maxime Tchoutakian, the coach of Vicky Mboko — a 19-year-old who has taken the tennis world by storm, breaking into the Top 10 in less than a year.But Max's story is just as compelling as the player he now coaches.Ranked 530 in the world as a player, he took the US college route at Baylor University, rebuilt his career from scratch after COVID, and walked into the Mouratoglou Academy with no clear coaching plan, only to have one practice with Victoria Azarenka and receive a call from her agent 30 minutes later.What he shares in this episode gives a rare, honest look at what it really means to operate inside the world's best tennis teams.In this episode:What it was actually like telling a former World Number 1 how to improve her game at age 26.The moment Azarenka asked him to become her full-time coach and how scary that felt.Why adaptation is the single most important skill to survive life on the WTA tour.His honest take on whether coaches are paid well enough for what they sacrifice.What makes Victoria Mboko so special and why Max believes she will win multiple Grand Slams.The brutal truth about French tennis: why talented kids keep falling short when it matters most.His biggest coaching regret and why he wishes he'd trusted himself sooner.CONNECT WITH CONTROL THE CONTROLLABLESWebsite: https://www.controlthecontrollables.co.uk/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ctc.podcast/Email us: ctc.podcast@sototennis.comMentioned in this episode:Train Smarter Anywhere: Strength & Conditioning for Tennis Players On the Go

Nik Seetharaman has watched the offensive side of cybersecurity adopt AI tools at a pace defenders can't match. So, he built a company to close that gap.  Before founding Wraithwatch, he was the first CIO of Anduril, a defense tech company he joined when it was 100 people and helped scale through hypergrowth. His path (Palantir to SpaceX to building AI-native cyber defense platforms for over a dozen federal agencies) gives him a view most CIOs and CISOs don't have. In this episode, Nik makes the case that AI has created a forcing function for CIOs and CISOs to finally work together, plus, shares how to run a pilot that actually moves the needle, why blocking AI tools backfires, and what the OpenClaw security drama gets right and wrong. 3 Takeaways: The CIO-CISO turf war is now a competitive disadvantage. Whoever figures out AI collaboration first wins. Treat every internal AI rollout like a startup: small cohort, parallel security review, measure the outcome in revenue. The best investment a new CIO can make isn't a security stack—it's coffee with people. Chapters: [01:46] What Wraithwatch Builds [05:25] AI Forces CIO / CISO Alignment [07:55] OpenClaw Security Tradeoffs [09:21] SecOps at Developer Speed [12:49] Rolling Out Risky Tools [14:44] Why Leaders Must Use AI [19:01] How to Reorg for the AI Era [22:30] Vendor Hunting for Grand Slams [25:49] $30M Contract and What's Next About Nik: Nik Seetharaman is the Founder and CEO of Wraithwatch, a next-generation cyber defense company building AI-native command-and-control platforms for the United States and its allies. He co-founded the company alongside fellow SpaceX alumni Grace Clemente and Carlos Moss. Before starting Wraithwatch, Nik served as the first CIO of Anduril, a defense technology company he joined when it was approximately 100 people, where he built the cybersecurity function from the ground up and saw the company through hypergrowth. His career spans cybersecurity leadership roles at Palantir, SpaceX, and Andel, giving him a rare vantage point across the offense-defense asymmetry that defines today's threat landscape.  Guest Highlights:"You can't have the attackers operating at the speed of a machine out here, and the defenders operating at the speed of a human in here." "Any business that's able to figure out this equation and execute it successfully is going to just crush their competition—because they're gonna move at warp speed and their competition will still be moving at human speed." "If I could rewind my first days at Andel, it's not to deploy more controls, it's not to learn about some new security stack or software—I would've just had more coffee with people. The human capital you build doing that pays off in spades. Because that's the thing that's rare in an age where the machines are taking over."

Chris brights insightful intergenerational conversations with three of the sport's most decorated athletes: Diede de Groot, Daniela Di Toro, and Gordon Reid.The guests reflect on the dramatic evolution of the game, from playing in everyday collapsible wheelchairs to the elite athleticism seen today at all four Grand Slams. They discuss the "Dutch dominance" inspired by legend Esther Vergeer, the importance of visibility for women in disability sports, and the shift toward being recognized as high-performance athletes rather than just "inspirational" backstories. From Paralympic gold medals to the "running tennis" vs. able-bodied debate, discover how wheelchair tennis has spent 50 years breaking barriers and building a global community.Diede de Groot is one of the most accomplished athletes in wheelchair tennis history.

In this episode, we sit down with Brad Henderson, leadership coach and author of The Consistency Effect: How to Turn Reliable Actions into Remarkable Success. Drawing on more than four decades of experience as a CEO and senior executive across real estate, telecommunications, technology, and manufacturing, Brad makes the case that consistent effort—not heroic bursts—drives lasting leadership success. Using the metaphor of hitting singles and doubles instead of chasing Grand Slams, Brad shares how leaders can build resilient teams, sustain momentum, and avoid burnout by celebrating progress along the way.During our time together, we discuss:Why consistency often gets overlooked in favor of dramatic, short‑term wins.The neurological and cultural barriers that make consistency hard to sustain.Why organizations tend to reward “firefighters” more than those who prevent problems.How reward and recognition systems can unintentionally undermine consistency.The importance of celebrating progress (the gain) instead of fixating on what's missing (the gap).Brad's GRAND SLAM framework for success—and why no single factor works alone.How consistency helps leaders recover from setbacks and navigate failure.This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership excellence isn't about rare moments of brilliance—it's about showing up, listening, and taking thoughtful action every day.To learn more from Brad:Visit Brad's websiteExplore his book The Consistency Effect: How to Turn Reliable Actions into Remarkable Success.

Imagine walking out in front of 15,000 people, taking a deep breath, smiling and thinking: “How cool is this?” That was Ash Barty on centre court… and she still chose to leave while at the top of her game. Ash shares her insights into what really sits behind those trophies: the brutal Wimbledon loss that sent her back to the drawing board, the conversation with her coach that flipped her mindset, and the “why not me?” question she now shares with kids. From the West Brisbane Tennis Centre to Grand Slams (via cricket) and back to community sport, she’s seen more than most and truly understands what it is to “play” sport. It’s Ash Barty being her authentic self; light, fun and keen to remind all of us that playing well is actually about joy, balance and finding your people. +++ Sportish podcast is powered by the Australian Sports Commission and produced by Deadset Studios.

Roger Federer ha trasladado la elegancia que definió su carrera deportiva al ámbito empresarial. El tenista suizo, ganador de 20 Grand Slams, es desde 2019 inversor, asesor y embajador de la marca suiza de calzado deportivo On, con una implicación directa en el desarrollo de producto, incluida una línea exclusiva de zapatillas que lleva su nombre. La inversión, cuya cuantía inicial no se hizo pública, alcanzó una valoración de cientos de millones de dólares tras la salida a bolsa de la compañía en 2021. Desde entonces, las acciones del grupo se han revalorizado cerca de un 15%, aunque la participación de Federer representa actualmente en torno al 3% del capital. Fundada en 2010, On se dio a conocer por su innovación en calzado técnico, pero ha acelerado su diversificación. En el último trimestre, las ventas de calzado crecieron un 21%, mientras que la ropa aumentó un 87% y los accesorios un 145%, reflejando un giro estratégico hacia un modelo más cercano al lifestyle y al streetwear.La compañía busca consolidarse como marca premium a través de colaboraciones con firmas y figuras de alto perfil como Loewe, Zendaya, Sky High Farm o Beams. De cara a 2025, On prevé un crecimiento del 34% en ventas, hasta aproximarse a los 3.000 millones de francos suizos, con una demanda sólida en mercados clave como Estados Unidos.

Patrick Mouratoglou is one of the most influential coaches in modern sport, renowned for developing champions through mindset rather than raw talent. Best known for his long partnership with Serena Williams, Patrick believes greatness is never about gifts, it's about mentality, discipline, and professionalism.In this episode, Patrick joins Jake and Damian to unpack his core philosophy that champions are built, not born. He explains why Novak Djokovic became the greatest of all time without Federer's natural genius or Nadal's physical dominance, and shares the extraordinary story of Serena Williams winning the 2015 French Open while battling a 40-degree fever, bedridden between matches, yet mentally unbreakable on court.From the famous cap-hitting moment that established respect with Serena on day one to calling a 13-time Grand Slam champion an “underachiever,” this conversation is a powerful insight into elite performance, leadership, and human potential, and a blueprint for anyone serious about building a champion's mindset.Our partners:Heights

“What do you do when you stop winning?”In this episode, Sean and Matt drop the highlight reel and talk candidly about what it actually feels like when a once high-flying brand stalls, hits flat revenue, or even starts shrinking.They unpack why every business has a “natural size,” why top-line obsession is the laziest definition of winning, and how to think more clearly about margin compression, momentum, and your own financial security as a founder.From redefining success beyond horsepower-style revenue numbers, to product, channel, and positioning pivots, to doing the brutal “Fog of War” cuts instead of slow bleeding out, this is a tactical, psychologically honest roadmap for operators trying to diagnose stalled growth and decide whether to push for the next level or intentionally right-size the business and finally take money off the table.Chapters00:00 – Cold open: what it feels like when winning stops02:20 – Why this episode matters: growth stalls, failure, and the messy middle04:06 – Defining “winning”: growth vs profit, lifestyle, and the natural size of a business07:18 – Survival first: financial security, changing goals, and evolving definitions of success12:51 – Diagnosing stalled growth: macro forces, misalignment, and internal blind spots17:42 – Tactical vs strategic stalls: product, category limits, and being in the wrong vehicle23:48 – Playing by the rules of the game: CAC, channels, and market realities33:13 – Diversification as defense: why building on rented land is dangerous39:00 – When winning tactics stop working: SEO hits, waves crashing, and preparing for stall-outs44:00 – Operating paranoid: assuming stalls, diversifying early, and the tradeoff of leaving money on the table50:00 – Changing the business: adding new product lines, multiple business units, and hedging inside your own brand56:00 – Rented land warning: Facebook media, platform dependency, and why omnichannel is non-negotiablePowered ByFulfil.iohttps://bit.ly/3pAp2vuThe Only Cloud ERP Designed to Efficiently Scale 8 and 9-Figure Brands.Northbeamhttps://www.northbeam.io/Richpanelhttps://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=9O&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescSarashttps://bit.ly/9OP-YtdescRivohttps://www.rivo.io/operatorsSubscribeSubscribe to The Marketing Operators Podcast:https://www.youtube.com/@MarketingOperatorsSubscribe to The Finance Operators:https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPS — Sign up to the 9 Operators newsletter:https://9operators.com/

Patrick Mouratoglou is one of tennis's most successful and unconventional coaches, known for his work with Serena Williams during her dominant return to form—helping her win 10 Grand Slams and reclaim the world number one ranking. But his journey to the top began in the darkest of places: a childhood marked by crippling shyness, zero self-esteem, and such severe social anxiety that he couldn't make eye contact without fear of vomiting. When his dream of becoming a professional tennis player was crushed at 15, that rock bottom moment became the catalyst for an extraordinary transformation. Today, Patrick coaches the next generation of champions, founded the innovative Ultimate Tennis Showdown (UTS), and has written a book about the "progress zone"—the space where confidence is built through small, daily victories. His approach to coaching is refreshingly transparent in a sport known for secrecy, and his insights on building champions apply far beyond the tennis court. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why the worst thing that happens to you might be the best thing—how Patrick's devastating rejection at 15 became the turning point that saved his life and launched his coaching career The hidden truth about motivation—why players (and people) who seem "unmotivated" are actually protecting their confidence, and what really drives elite performance How to rebuild someone's confidence from zero—Patrick's unconventional methods, including secretly rigging matches to create winning streaks and psychological breakthroughs What separates champions from great players—the mindset traits of Serena Williams, Roger Federer, and Novak Djokovic that have nothing to do with talent The art of hearing what people think, not just what they say—Patrick's most powerful coaching skill and why "the weather is nice" means completely different things in London versus Miami

In this 2025 Season Recap, Andy Roddick, Jon Wertheim, and Producer Mike dig into their “winners and unforced errors” of the tennis season: from successful US Open mixed doubles exhibition to the much-criticized extended Masters 1000 events. They debate the sport's failure to empower creators and players to use match footage, and the power struggle over prize money and revenue share at the Grand Slams. The crew also relives Sinner–Alcaraz's unforgettable Roland Garros epic, Coco Gauff's and Iga Świątek's seasons, Sabalenka's resilience, and the booming depth of American tennis on both tours. Finally, they zoom out to why tennis is “having a massive moment” globally and why that makes the structural mistakes and missed opportunities even more frustrating.

I can tell you it was like sitting with a long, lost neighbor when sitting with Kelly E. Carter.  And in fact, we were neighbors of sorts back in the day. It wasn't until I was searching for images to create the icons for this podcast did I realize I was in the presence of true maverick royalty.  Besides being a New York Times best selling author, she has reported from the greatest sporting events of the world: the NBA FInals, Super Bowls, Grand Slams, Stanley Cup Finals and much more. And more intriguing, she was the woman reporter in the locker room! I was so intrigued and we could have spoken for hours because she is the Founder of the wine tourism group, Napa Valley Noir. sitting down with Kelly E. Carter in the studio for this episode of Wine Talks was like taking a stroll down memory lane while simultaneously hitching a ride on a train heading straight for the future of wine tourism. There's something about Kelly—her energy, her wit, and just her knack for storytelling—that gets you thinking about the wine industry in ways that feel both nostalgic and freshly invigorating. We kicked things off with some good old home turf banter—Kelly's Windsor Hills childhood (Ray Charles and Ike & Tina Turner for neighbors, no less) and my own roots in Inglewood. Instantly, there was this shared sense that, before wine stole our hearts, Southern California had given us some pretty unique perspectives on culture and community. And as Kelly pointed out, “you'll never know everything” about winemaking, which is honestly the very reason some of us keep swirling, sipping, and studying. I know I do. What genuinely impressed me was Kelly's trajectory. She was the first female to cover the Lakers—how many people do you meet who set out in fourth grade to be a sports journalist and actually make it happen? She wasn't just content to report on sports. She made her mark, switched lanes into entertainment, and then into luxury travel writing, which eventually led her to Florence and Positano. It's the kind of layered journey you don't hear about every day. You talk to some folks, they've been in wine their whole lives. With Kelly, it's travel, sports, culture—all converging in the glass. We got into the nitty-gritty of wine and travel writing and how AI could never replace the boots-on-the-ground experience. I had to laugh—when Kelly plugged Napa into chatbots, she got recommendations for wineries that are closed for renovations. "You have to know the latest," she said, reminding me that the best wine stories are always written with real shoe leather, not just code. Her insights into Napa Valley tourism were equally compelling. As the founder of Napa Valley Noir, Kelly's passion lies in creating experiences rich in narrative, not just pouring cabs for folks who made it big in tech and want a taste of the valley lifestyle. She's all about partnerships with wineries that have soul, stories, and a genuine connection to their craft—whether it's a historic vineyard run by women or an impromptu meeting with Thomas Keller that leaves guests starstruck. Frankly, I couldn't agree more. The stories make the bottle—and the memories. That's what keeps this business alive, even as the market shifts. Kelly also talked about the recent surge in African American visitors to Napa, thanks in part to celebrity influence (LeBron, Kobe, you name it), and her drive to ensure these visitors experience the full magic Napa has to offer, not just what's on the surface. She's honest—her intake forms ask straight-up about comfort level on bottle prices. She knows how to match guests with the right wineries, sometimes calling in a favor for an extra pour or a charcuterie board, because that's how relationships form and deepen in this business. There's a lesson in Kelly's methods: whether it's a group of corporate execs, first-timers, or veteran collectors, she makes sure the experience is tailored and memorable. Maybe it's the aftermath of her own battles—her candor about beating a rare cancer got me thinking about perspective, gratitude, and the importance of living fully, whether it's raising a glass or hiking through a vineyard. Talking with Kelly reminded me why I started this podcast in the first place. It's the human stories behind the wines, the journeys of the people who bring them to life—and the shared desire to know just a little bit more, one sip, one story at a time. Cheers to Kelly and to all of us still curious.   YouTube: https://youtu.be/AXGYAhnctSE   Napa Valley Noir  https://napavalleynoir.com Alpha Omega Winery https://www.aowinery.com Brown Estate Vineyards  https://www.brownestate.com French Laundry  https://www.thomaskeller.com/tfl Bouchon Bistro https://www.thomaskeller.com/bouchon Ad Hoc https://www.thomaskeller.com/adhoc Visit Napa Valley (tourism board) https://www.visitnapavalley.com AAAV - Association of African American Vintners https://www.aaavintners.org 1010 Wine Bar https://www.1010wineandsmallplates.com Vera Wang  https://www.verawang.com Tod's  https://www.tods.com Mohawk Industries  https://www.mohawkind.com #WineTalksPodcast #KellyECarter #PaulKalemkiarian #NapaValleyNoir #NapaValleyTourism #AfricanAmericanWineCulture #WineIndustryStories #WinemakingEducation #WineTastings #TravelWriting #ItalyToNapa #LuxuryTravel #AAAV #WellnessInNapa #WinePricing #BordeauxBlends #WineExperiences #WineBusinessChallenges #CelebrityWineCulture #PersonalMemoir #HeadAndNeckCancer
