Podcasts about Grand Slam

Andy Roddick (Served) is a Grand Slam-winning tennis champion. Andy joins the Armchair Expert to discuss when his tennis rankings weren't as good as his older brother's until the day it flipped, whether he thinks you're born or made with the disposition of an elite athlete, and how undervalued a skill it is to get beat and go to work the next day. Andy and Dax talk about the dividends gained from taking 10 years off of tennis, the protectiveness his father showed over his career and finances, and his mom bribing him with tickets to the US Open for a good report card. Andy explains the morning he woke up at 30 and decided to retire, the joy of doing SNL, and being spoiled by greatness in the sport of tennis today.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Victor L. Vescovo is a private investor with over thirty years of experience in a variety of complex business situations. He co-founded private equity firm Insight Equity in 2002 with his business partner, Ted Beneski and raised over $1.5 billion in equity capital across four funds. In 2023, he departed Insight in order to focus on his own investments with new capabilities to support industrial startups, life sciences, and other areas of venture capital and special situations. Victor received his bachelor's degree from Stanford University, a Master's Degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and received an MBA from Harvard Business School where he graduated as a Baker Scholar. Additionally, Victor served 20 years in the U.S. Navy Reserve as an intelligence and targeting officer, retiring in 2013 as a Commander. In 2017, Victor completed the “Explorer's Grand Slam” which requires climbing the highest peak on all seven of the world's continents including Mt. Everest and skiing at least 100 kilometers to the North and South Poles. He piloted the first repeated dives to the ocean's deepest point, Challenger Deep, in the Pacific's Mariana Trench - now fifteen times, and in August 2019 became the first person to visit “The Five Deeps,” the deepest point in all five of the world's oceans. Victor has now personally explored the bottom of seventeen deep ocean trenches and has made three dives to the Titanic including the only solo dive ever made there. He and his team also discovered and surveyed the two deepest shipwrecks in the world: the USS Johnston in 2021 and the deepest, the USS Samuel B. Roberts at 22,600 feet, in 2022. In 2025, the US Navy announced that T-AGOS 26, a new ocean surveillance vessel of the Explorer class, would be named after him. He is also a commercially rated, multi-engine jet, glider, seaplane, and helicopter pilot, a certified submersible test pilot, and recently flew into space on Blue Origin's New Shepard rocket, becoming the first person in history to climb Mount Everest, dive to the bottom of the ocean, and visit space.

The Dell Technologies Forum took place today at the RDS in Dublin with Peter O'Mahony, former Ireland rugby captain and Grand Slam winner, Lynne Cantwell, most capped Irish women's rugby player and Head of Women's Strategy at the IRFU, David Humphreys, former Ireland international and Performance Director at the IRFU headlining the event which showcased how AI can help organisations drive peak performance, increase productivity and spark innovation. The Forum brought together approximately 600 of business and IT leaders to explore the latest developments in AI-powered transformation, the next generation of AI PCs, modern data centres and multicloud strategies. Conversations centred on how these advances can help strengthen competitiveness and unlock new growth opportunities. Across the keynote, solutions expo, curated breakout sessions, insightful panels and more, decision makers heard from a range of exciting experts and speakers on the innovative solutions that can empower them to transform at speed and scale up their success. This comes as Dell's Innovation Catalyst Study 2025 revealed that while 76% of Irish organisations view AI as a strategic driver of business growth, almost half (46%) are struggling to keep pace with rapid technological change and concerns around security, expertise and compliance. Peter O'Mahony took to the stage to share lessons from elite sport on building a high-performance culture on and off the pitch, while Lynne Cantwell and David Humphreys discussed how teamwork, leadership and innovation can help organisations thrive in an era of technological transformation. Other speakers included Jason Ward, EMEA North Vice-President and Managing Director of Dell Technologies Ireland; Alyssa Boyle, Head of Commercial Operations at Studio Ulster; and Gemma Leo, Head of Business Support & Projects at the Crann Centre. Speaking at the Dell Technologies Forum, Mark Hopkins, General Manager of Dell Technologies Ireland, said: "AI is no longer a question of "if" - it's a question of how to make it work better, faster, and more securely to provide the right outcomes for your business. Leaders across Ireland are now looking to scale AI responsibly, modernise infrastructure and prepare their workforce for what's next. Through this year's Dell Technologies Forum, we're bringing together the technologies, insights, and collaborations that help businesses turn ambition into action. Whether it's scaling GenAI, modernising infrastructure, or empowering the workforce with AI-enabled devices, the Forum is where organisations see what's possible - and how to make it real. "The insights of Irish rugby legends, alongside leading voices from the technology and business sectors, highlighted how teams can achieve peak performance - whether on the field or in the boardroom. At Dell Technologies Ireland, we are committed to helping organisations across the country harness AI and emerging technologies to innovate with confidence and turn potential into tangible results."

9/18/25 - Thursday Touchdown, Two Grand Slam, Dear Jon, A.J. Hinch

This week on the Functional Tennis Podcast I'm joined once again by Portuguese player Jaime Faria, who continues to make strides on the ATP Tour.Since our last chat, Jaime has broken into the top 100, won two Challenger titles, and battled through Grand Slam qualifying winning 11 of his last 12 matches and even sneaking into the US Open as a lucky loser. One of the standout moments of his year was facing Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open, an experience that gave him a clear view of what it takes to compete with the very best.In this episode, Jaime shares what he learned from that match, the challenges of staying inside the top 100, the grind of playing qualies, and whether he still enjoys the process as much as he once did.

He is one of Australia’s greatest tennis champions, a 22-time Grand Slam winner whose calm precision and resilience made him a household name. Yet Todd Woodbridge’s story stretches far beyond the court. In this heartfelt and inspiring conversation, Todd joins Sarah Grynberg to share the untold truths of his journey, from navigating the pressures of global fame and forging one of sport’s most successful partnerships, to surviving family tragedy with both his brothers passing away, a heart attack, and finding new purpose in mentoring others. With honesty, humour and wisdom, he reveals how the lessons of sport can guide us through life’s toughest challenges. You’ll learn:*Why resilience and focus are as vital off the court as they are on it.*How adversity from family struggles to health scares can fuel growth.*Why helping others succeed can be life’s most rewarding victory. This episode is a moving reminder that true greatness comes not from what you win, but from who you become and who you help along the way. Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.

1974 was a banner year for Jimmy Connors… He entered three Grand Slams and won all three of them. He was ranked #1 in the world and was engaged to Chris Evert. Life was good. But in 1975, things didn't go quite as smoothly. His engagement to Chrissy was called off… and while he was still the most dominant player in the world, he failed to win a Grand Slam, losing in the finals at the Australian Open to John Newcombe, in the finals at Wimbledon to Arthur Ashe, and now in the finals of the US Open to Manual Orantes. Was this the beginning of the end for Connors? Hardly. He would win 5 of his Grand Slam titles starting in 1976 at the US Open where he would there again in '78, '82 & '83 as well as Wimbledon for a 2nd time in 1982. And who would forget his incredible run at the 1991 US Open at at the age of 39. Curry Kirkpatrick hasn't forgotten it. He was covering a good portion of Connors and Evert's careers back when they were the King & Queen of tennis for Sports Illustrated and gives us an inside look at what happened to Jimmy against Orantes in the finals of '75. A simple reason for the shocking win was the Spaniard was sensational on clay courts, and beginning in 1975, Forest Hills surface was clay for 3 years. Advantage Orantes. Curry also tells us what happened on the women's side of the draw as Chris Evert was beginning her dominance of tennis… Having won the French Open in 1974 & '75 as well as Wimbledon a year earlier, Evert added the US Open to her list of achievements… and it was the first of 6 US Open Titles in her storied career as she would win it again in '76, '77, '78, '80 & '82.  Two of tennis all-time greats were dominating tennis in the 70's and Curry was there for all of it and joins us on POP to tell us how Orantes almost didn't even get to the finals and how that loss by Connors was just a blip as he would continue to be a force in tennis for another 15 years! And he tells us how at age 16 “he invented” Chris Evert writing the first major story about her in SI before penning the final installment of her illustrious career in the late 80's when she retired from the sport. Nobody knows Connors and Evert from the mid 70's like Curry Kirkpatrick and he joins us for a record 5th time on the show to regale us with great stories of two of tennis' all-time greats… Jimmy and Chrissy… on the Past Our Prime podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

Did you see what happened in Miami over the weekend? A Phillies fan went crazy over a home run ball. I couldn't believe it.

In this episode, we're back to recording remotely from separate coasts. We kick things off with a rant about the annoying aspects of air travel, the absurdity of an $84 hotel breakfast buffet, and a creative marketing idea that Cracker Barrel missed after trying to change its logo. A major topic is the controversy surrounding David Goggins, as we discuss recent allegations that he is a "deadbeat dad," watch his on stage response.In sports news, we get an update on the Grand Slam Track payment failure, with a New York Times report revealing that a primary investor pulled out after the first event. We also explore the intense drug testing protocols for USATF athletes with a breakdown of "whereabouts failures," and discuss a statistic that of the 30 fastest 100 meter sprint times, only nine were run by a clean athlete, all by Usain Bolt. The Enhanced Games are back in the news, as we cover their lawsuit against organizations like World Aquatics for discouraging athletes from participating.We also cover a strange record for the most hot dogs dropped from a helicopter, the Goodyear Blimp ride we have scheduled, the FTC suing gyms like LA Fitness for making memberships difficult to cancel, and a bizarre Zillow listing of a house covered in gold foil. We wrap up the show with a "No Bad, No Sad" story about a NASCAR pit crew helping an opponent's team during a race.
