Podcast appearances and mentions of iga swiatek

Elena Rybakina has beaten Aryna Sabalenka in both the US Open and the Australian Open in tough three sets, leaving Sabalenka without a major title for the first time since 2022. She's certainly the best player in the world right now, at least she has the highset peak level an has been able to find it when it mattered most.But while Rybakina is a good 1000 points ahead of Sabalenka in the WTA Race, a lot still needs to happen before we call it a season. Two WTA 1000 events are happening in China, a number of 500 events still need to take place, and, of course, the WTA Finals, which can award a maximum of 1500 points to the winner if undefeated.And Sabalenka herself, who will be looking to end the year on a high note after a disappointing season for her standards, should be looking in the rear mirror: the Top 5 is very strong and not far behind, as Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva are growing in their games and belief that they deserve to be at the top of the game.As for Iga Swiatek, it doesn't look very good right now, so maybe her sight should be set on just the next tournament ahead, and to having a better 2027 - 2026 was pretty much a year to forget despite a strong showing in the North American swing post Wimbledon.

While the Top 6 women in the WTA World Rankings made it to the quarterfinals and the Top 4 made the semis for the first time in many years, the ATP was handicapped from the start with Jannik Sinner sitting out due to injury, and later on a freshly back on tour Alcaraz ousted by eventual finalist Ben Shelton. While Zverev did not face a Top 21 player until the final, Elena Rybakina made it all the way up to World No.1 and the US Open trophy by going through tough three-setters against a resurging Zheng Qinwen, Coco Gauff, and Aryna Sabalenka back to back to back. Zverev might have had the lucky stars all pointed at him this year, but he did what he had to do and is now Race World No.1. The battle is on against Jannik Sinner, truly against all odds - will he be able to find at least another win over Alcaraz and Sinner in almost two years or will the Top 2 players of this generation get things back on track?

Who will reach the US Open 2026 semi finals?

L'exploit était si proche ! Intégré au tableau principal en tant que lucky loser, le jeune Français Arthur Gea a frôlé une qualification historique pour les quarts de finale en Grand Chelem. Après un démarrage canon et deux premiers sets maîtrisés de main de maître, le Tricolore a finalement cédé face au retour d'expérience du Néerlandais, Botic van de Zandschulp, au terme d'un marathon en cinq manches. Dans cet épisode de Sans Filet, l'équipe revient en détail sur cette rencontre au scénario cruel mais prometteur pour le tennis français. Comment Arthur Gea a étouffé Van de Zandschulp en imposant son rythme durant deux sets ? Relâchement physique, ajustement tactique du Néerlandais ou gestion de la pression... Qu'a-t-il manqué au Français pour conclure ? Pourquoi ce parcours reste une opération comptable et mentale majeure pour la suite de sa carrière.Regret éternel ou vraie étincelle pour s'installer durablement sur le circuit ATP ? Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

It was a strong day for the American men at Flushing Meadows as Frances Tiafoe, Ben Shelton and Alex Michelsen all booked their spots in the quarter-finals, but the performance of the day came from Carlos Alcaraz. Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts discuss it all. Part one - We start by analysing Alcaraz's win over Tommy Paul which saw him produce a phenomenal level. Does Alzaraz's form mean that David has changed his mind about what will happen when Alcaraz faces Shelton? We preview that match and discuss what, if anything, Shelton will have to do to win. There's also discussion of Tiafoe's amazing victory over Daniil Medvedev and the incredible scenes on the Louis Armstrong Stadium as Tiafoe maintained his 100% record on that court. Part two (37:21) - We discuss Aryna Sabalenka's straight-sets win over Taylor Townsend. Why was the match a bit disappointing? And did we learn much about Sabalenka ahead of her quarter-final against Linda Noskova? There's a review of Noskova's gripping win over Marta Kostyuk which saw her choke and win anyway once again. We also look ahead to Jessica Pegula vs Emma Navarro after both players won through. Part three (56:30) - A look ahead to Monday's order of play, which includes a surprising men's match on the Arthur Ashe Stadium as well as Zheng Qinwen vs Iga Swiatek and Naomi Osaka vs Elena Rybakina.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.

In the women's draw, Cohen predicts whether Aryna Sabalenka can return to her trophy-winning form from a year ago, and examines Jessica Pegula's favorable path the final stages of the tournament. Cohen assesses Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek's routes to more US Open glory, Amanda Anisimova and Naomi Osaka's title chances, and Alexandra Eala's ability to truly arrive in New York City.

Leif Shiras joins the show to recap the Cincinnati Open, where Coco Gauff and Arthur Fils claimed the trophies with some sizzling tennis. Shiras explains what propelled Gauff back to the winner's circle, how finalist Jessica Pegula can rebound at Flushing Meadows, and whether Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka or another set of contenders will find that magic at the US Open. The Tennis Channel broadcaster analyzes Fils' improved game, looks at Frances Tiafoe's strengths and weaknesses, and goes in depth on how American Brandon Nakashima has had a dream summer in 2026. Shiras also looks ahead to next week's US Open, which will feature Carlos Alcaraz, but not World No. 1 Jannik Sinner. The commentator reacts to Alcaraz's decision to return from a four-month wrist injury at a major, and shares his thoughts on Sinner's difficult decision to miss the action in New York with a knee injury. And Shiras dives into Novak Djokovic's chances, Stan Wawrinka not receiving a Wild Card, and Roger Federer's upcoming Hall of Fame induction on this episode. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge, dieses Mal mit dem Turnier aus Cincinnati. Weiterhin kristallisieren sich keine ganz klaren Favoriten und Favoritinnen für die US Open heraus, besonders nach der Absage von Jannik Sinner auf der Herrenseite.

Catherine, David and Matt assembled live on YouTube to react to the dual news from the last 24 hours that Carlos Alcaraz will be making his long-awaited comeback at the US Open, while Jannik Sinner has withdrawn due to his ongoing knee injury. Part one (00:00 - 48:10) - We discuss how we're feeling about another slam without both Sinner and Alcaraz there, the strange season that Sinner has had, our expectations of Alcaraz in New York, and what this all means for the rest of the draw. Who will benefit most from Sinner's absence? Is it mad for Alcaraz to be the favourite? And is this the time for another American man to finally win a major? Part two (48:11 - 56:28) - We cover the concern surrounding Elena Rybakina after she pulled up with an injury against Iga Swiatek in Cincinnati. What does this mean for her No.1 prospects? And what about Taylor Fritz's mixed doubles ambitions? Part three (56:29 - 1:10:10) - The US Open has announced record prize money and the Grand Slams have come together to form a player advisory board. How has it all been received by the group of top players protesting over remuneration? We will be live on the US Open stage reacting to the singles draws on Thursday 27th August at 1pm.

In the second (and longer) part of their recording session this week, Ben and Tumaini fanned out into a range of recent events topics from the last month of tennis, catching up on what's been both a busy yet also quiet stretch of the season.  We start with the uncertainties around Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz for New York, after both missed both Canada and Cincinnati. We also discuss Alcaraz's cornrows (remember those?).  Of players who did play up north, we discuss champs Ben Shelton and Iga Swiatek. We also catch up on rising stars Alex Eala and Rafael Jodar, both of whom are inspiring strong reactions.  We also cover the Marketa Vondrousova doping ban decision in full, and also the WTA's decision to start doing genetic sex tests on its players, news first broken on Bounces. Tumaini then closes the show by describing his in-person experience going to see Ms. Lauryn Hill. 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.

Amy Lundy joins the podcast to discuss the uncertainty involving Jannik Sinner's US Open status, and how the entire ATP orbit hangs in the balance. Lundy looks at Carlos Alcaraz's bold plan to return from his four month injury at a major tournament, Novak Djokovic's chances heading into The Big Apple, and whether Americans like Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz or Frances Tiafoe have a chance to shine on home soil. Lundy also looks at the storylines in Cincinnati, where Iga Swiatek continues her winning ways. The journalist evaluates Aryna Sabalenka's form, Amanda Anisimova's resurgence, and Marta Kostyuk's breakthrough season. And Lundy explains why youngsters like Rafael Jodar and Iva Jovic are destined for big things in tennis. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Novak Djokovic stieß beim Masters in Cincinnati an seine körperlichen Grenzen und wirft damit Fragen für die anstehenden US Open auf. Doch werden die "Schwächephasen" der Profis insgesamt zu streng diskutiert? Henrike und Daniel machen sich dazu Gedanken. In Kanada haben Iga Swiatek und Ben Shelton ihre Titel verteidigen können. Shelton kam mit den Austragunsgorten durcheinander, letztendlich sind wir in Gedanken ja eh schon in New York.

Catherine, David and Matt were live on Friday night to look back on the the last few days in Canada, with Iga Swiatek winning her first title in almost a year and Ben Shelton defending his crown. Part one - WTA Toronto (00:00 - 36:02). Is Swiatek back? We discuss how she finally played the brand of tennis she's been working towards with Francisco Roig, the reason she called out the haters in her victory speech, and how a crucial win over Elina Svitolina in the semi-finals set her on the way to the title. There's also analysis of her dominant display over Elena Rybakina in the final and chat about her excellent celebrations with Elway, the tournament dog. Part two - ATP Montreal (36:03 -54:55). We cover the brilliant tennis played by Shelton all week, try to make sense of his up and down season, and wonder what it all means heading into the US Open. Plus, a word on Brandon Nakashima who continues to play the best tennis of his career, and who randomly decided to hate on Toronto in his post-match speech. Part three (54:56 - 1:35:14). We look ahead to Cincinnati and discuss who it could be a big tournament for, including Aryna Sabalenka and Novak Djokovic. We then hear from Jack Draper as he opens up about the immense physical, mental and emotional toll of his chronic injury. Finally, in light of some findings from the PTPA and a statement from the ATP, we debate the big picture of injuries in tennis.

Veteran coach Brad Stine joins the podcast for a wide-ranging chat about his work coaching Tommy Paul, and some of the biggest storylines in the men's game as tennis takes over North America. Stine reacts to Ben Shelton's second straight title at the Canadian Masters, and explains why he's so dangerous on the court. The coach dives into the depth of American tennis, the closeness of this group of US men, and what makes rising player Learner Tien so special. Stine also sheds light on his long-running partnership with Tommy Paul, and recaps the highs and lows of the 2026 season. He goes in depth about how Paul bounced back after heartbreak in Miami to win his first clay court title in Houston, and explains why "Tommy Paul 7.0" is the best version yet. The coach also discusses several other topics including Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner's health creating an opening for the field at The US Open, Iga Swiatek's joy returning in her title-run in Toronto, and what he really thinks of the crowded and confusing tennis schedule.

Catherine, David and Matt catch up on the weekend's action in Canada with Toronto and Montreal both at the quarter-finals stage. Part one (00:00 - 15:07) Before we get to Canada, we start with the disappointing news that Jannik Sinner has withdrawn from Cincinnati due to a knee injury. How concerning is this? And what could it mean for the US Open? Part two (15:08 - 49:22) WTA Toronto. There's chat about Aryna Sabalenka's slump continuing, the challenge facing Ekaterina Alexandrova as she attempts to back up that win against Elina Svitolina, an unconvincing display from Elena Rybakina as she looks to close the gap to World No.1, a remarkable turnaround from Iga Swiatek to beat Marta Kostyuk, Alexandra Eala finally hitting the wall, and impressive performances from both Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka. Part three (49:23 - 1:26:11) ATP Montreal. A last eight made up entirely of players born in the 2000s, the most enticing match up sees Arthur Fils go up against Rafael Jodar. We discuss Fils lighting it up against Cameron Norrie, Jodar's destructive return of serve, and what might happen in that one.
