Tag 3 der US Open ist beendet und die Auslosung vor allem bei den Männern ist kräftig durchgeschüttelt worden. Und das muss doch zusammengefasst werden. Herzlich willkommen zu einem kleinen Update-Podcast hier von Chip & Charge zum Auftakt der zweiten Runde der US Open. Fangen wir bei den Männern an. Denn da war heute eine ganze Menge los. Das Draw hat sich geöffnet! Seid ehrlich, den Satz wolltet ihr schon seit zwei Tagen hören. Es ist heute aber wirklich so weit gewesen. Das Draw hat sich nicht so weit geöffnet, als dass Novak Djokovic ausgeschieden wäre. Nein, der hat sich seiner Zweitrundenaufgabe Bernabe ...

On today's Round 4 Wimbledon catch-up, Joel and Chris recap all the shocks and surprises from the start of the second week at SW19.Stefanos Tsitsipas is upset by Christopher Eubanks, Kvitova wins just 3 games against Ons Jabeur and Elina Svitolina defies the seedings (and makes the most of her wildcard) to reach the Quarters. They touch upon some of the scheduling issues around late finishes on Centre Court. Chris gives his first hand perspective after two days on Centre Court and how matches not being completed impact the most committed tennis fans, camping in the queue. They also provide a Collect-a-set update and it's no surprise Kim is out in front with 3 points already secured.__________________

Nick and Myles talk you through all the action from day 8 at Wimbledon where Christopher Eubanks shocked Stefanos Tsitsipas, coming from 2 sets to 1 down to book his place in the quarter-final where he will meet Daniil Medvedev. Elsewhere, Novak Djokovic fought his way past Hubert Kurkacz in four sets while on the women's side Madison Keys saw off Mirra Andreeva after a come-from-behind win. The American was a set and a break down, before winning in three sets. Aryna Sabalenka and Ons Jabeur had more comfortable wins over Ekaterina Alexandrova and Petra Kvitova respectively. Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune both enjoyed four sets wins over Matteo Berrettini and Grigor Dmitrov. #atp #wta #wimbledon2023 #tennis This podcast is available on...

In this week's special preview podcast, Erik Gudris and Richard Pagliaro join Chris Oddo to look ahead to the Wimbledon fortnight. Here are the topics we canvas: Can we really read anything into the grass court warm up results as indicators before Wimbledon? Maybe it's recency bias but I have my eyes on Keys / Kasatkina. I'd say yes. Huge experience for Alcaraz/ Swiatek/ I think you can pick out positives, and maybe not sweat the negatives.  The draw's out, did it change anything about the way you view this Wimbledon playing out? To me it worked in Swiatek's favor a bit because the bottom half is stacked.  Is Djokovic the best men's grass-court player in history if he wins this title? Federer 192-29 on grass with 19 titles. Djokovic 109-18 with eight titles.             DJOKOVIC 3-1 VS FEDERER AT GRASS AND 3-0 VS FEDERER IN WIMBLEDON FINALS Has Swiatek played herself into favorite status with her performance at Bad Homburg?  How is this year's draw different, with Russian and Belarusian players in the mix again? How will Wimbledon's decision to allow them to play impact the fortnight?  What is your most outrageous pick for a run to the semis or beyond? How much has Alcaraz improved on grass – and as a player in general – since last Wimbledon? Won his final 10 sets at Queens. Using the slice. Returning aggression.  Is Medvedev a tad overlooked as a grass-court talent? 35-19 with a title on grass. 8-4 at Wimbledon, missed last year but made second week for the first time in 2021 (Hurkacz) Can we expect anything from Berrettini or Kyrgios?  What do we make of Venus Williams and what does it mean for Wimbledon to have her in the draw?  What do we think of Wozniacki's comeback? 30 titles No.1 for 71 weeks Slam champion going to be 33. physicality???!!! Your favorite first-rounder, men's and women's? You're favorite potential round of 16 matchup and why? (just one)  Jabeur v Kvitova or Muchova v Sabalenka You're winners and why? (men's and women's)  Does Gauff have a better shot at Swiatek on grass than any other surface? Has lost all 14 sets against her… (AND ONLY ONCE WON MORE THAN FOUR GAMES IN A SET V IGA) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Gavin MacMillan, Aryna Sabalenka's biomechanics trainer, makes a return to the podcast to assess the games of the Wimbledon women's favourites, including Swiatek, Rybakina and Sabalenka.00:00: Iga Swiatek's grass court flaws and Elena Rybakina's title defence.05:17: Karolina Muchova's chances after the French Open.06:52: Gavin's confidence in Aryna Sabalenka.09:57: Dark horse in Petra Kvitova.12:08: The rest of the field including Jabeur, Krejcikova and Garcia.15:55: Analysing Coco Gauff's game.23:11: A look back at different generations and ways to play the game.29:16: Gavin's pick for the tournament.

In this episode of Tennis and Bagels, Andre and Vansh look at the performances of Carlos Alcaraz and Petra Kvitova in particular, as they shape up their games to the Grass Court Slam. Kvitova, a former World No.2 and two-time Wimbledon champion, showed once again signs of why she's had the career she's had so far, but since winning at SW19 in 2014 she has not done so well in London. Could this be the year?Meanwhile, Carlos Alcaraz has finally completed the surface set, winning his first grass court title at Queen's - and what a fantastic week that was for the World No.1. While Alcaraz does not have the experience on grass to be considered a heavy favourite for Wimbledon, he has simply amazed us with his ability to learn and make adjustments so quickly. What can't Alcaraz do??In other news, the always mercurial Jelena Ostapenko managed to once again get her hands on a trophy by playing her best tennis - an Avatar state where she becomes virtually unbeatable, but her dips in match can be too costly. And Alexander Bublik put his mind into it and showed why he's one of the most talented players on tour - he seems to only lack the motivation to break into the Elite of the game. Though a Halle title might not be the best stepping stone for Wimbledon unless you're named Roger Federer...Talk to us on social media :)Follow Tennis and Bagels: Twitter @TennisAndBAGELSAndre Rolemberg @RolembergAndreVansh Vermani @vanshv2kOwen Lewis @tennisnationCheck out Popcorn Tennis!Twitter: @Popcorn_Tennis1Website: popcorntennis.comSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Mal in ihrer Karriere konnte Petra Kvitova einen Titel holen und dann auch noch auf ihrem besten Belag, dem Rasen. Sie besiegte im Endspiel eine andere Spielerin, die sich auf dem Grün besonders wohl fühlt: Donna Vekic. Das Turnier in Berlin hatte mit Regen und wenig Zuschauenenden unter der Woche zu kämpfen, hinterließ allerdings einen besseren ...

Das war es dann schon wieder mit dem Sunshine-Double in Indian Wells und Miami. Als gesammelte Eindrücke bleiben ein starker Daniil Medvedev, eine wiedererstarkte Petra Kvitova und der "neue Klassiker" zwischen Carlos Alcaraz und Jannik Sinner. Alles Punkte, die Daniel mit Henrike Maas (myTennis) ausreichend beleuchtet. Dazu noch neues von Garbine Muguruza und vom DTB. Folt Henrike bei Instagram und Twitter.

Petra Kvitova and Daniil Medvedev reign supreme in Miami — our Round Table experts discuss all the big news from the Magic City as the tours shift gears into the clay swing, Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal to miss Monte Carlo with injury but will they be fit for Roland Garros? Plus what we all should know about Dominic Thiem but no one's bothered to ask yet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our Miami champs – Kvitova and Medvedev – underscore how tough it is to win the Sunshine Double. Petra Kvitova completes one of her most unexpected tournament runs by winning her 30th WTA title and ninth at the 1000 level. On the men's side, Daniil Medvedev caps an astonishing run of tournaments with title #4, and Alcaraz and Sinner's electrifying semifinal gets widespread attention. We've also got Eubanks, Gauff/Pegula, a decision from Wimbledon, and Pouille's openness about mental health.   01:35 So much rain, so much discourse 05:25 Petra wins title #30!   16:15 Barbie K says WTA Big 3 is fake news! 18:55 Yes, Sinner vs. Alcaraz is becoming a really good rivalry 27:35 Medvedev turns his whole trajectory around these past few months: 4 titles in 5 tries 30:50 Chris Eubanks makes his career-best run and enters the top 100 34:45 Between Gauff, Pegula, and Townsend (and more!), American women's doubles is lit 38:20 Wimbledon will allow Russian & Belarusian players who sign neutrality declarations 42:20 When is Rafa returning? 44:20 Lucas Pouille opens up about depression, substance use, and learning humility

The guys talk about the rest of the Miami open: Kvitova beating Rybakina, Medvedev taking down Sinner, Alcaraz looking solid. On the women's side, Rybakina, Swiatek and Sabalenka have started to pull themselves above the rest of the WTA and continue to dominate the tour. Medvedev has only lost 1 match in the last 6 weeks. Wow. What will all of this mean as we head into the clay court swing with Djokovic back, Nadal back, Alcaraz in form, Medvedev playing great ball. This will be the most exciting clay court swing we have had in quite some time. Buckle up.

Temas: -Daniil Medvedev se confirma como el mejor tenista, de la primera parte de canchas duras en la temporada 2023 y Petra Kvitova renace como campeona en Miami 2023. -Análisis final de Miami 2023, en los circuitos ATP y WTA. (Mejor partido, sorpresas y decepciones) -Santi González campeón en dobles de Miami 2023 y Fernanda Contreras cae en primera ronda.

The last few days in Miami did not go as expected, with both Carlos Alcaraz and Elena Rybakina unable to complete the Sunshine Double. Instead, Petra Kvitova rolled back the years and Daniil Medvedev showed why he's a specialist in hard courts. David, Catherine and Matt are together to discuss an uplifting week from Kvitova, whether fatigue played a role in Rybakina's final performance, the latest epic instalment of the Sinner vs Alcaraz rivalry, why the match up against Medvedev is such a bad one for Sinner, and the physical prowess of Medvedev to do so much winning over the last two months. There's also our reaction to Wimbledon's decision to lift the ban on Russian and Belarusian players.

In "Serving Aces," Episode 5, Alexandra Stevenson and guest host Hugues Laverdiere discuss a myriad of topics including the start of Major League Baseball and the three rules changes, ATP and WTA Tour players in the Miami Open, all things basketball in the Men's NCAA Final Four, and the Women's NCAA Championship.  They throw in the entertaining Pickleball Slam, with Grand Slam tennis champions John McEnroe, Michael Chang, Andre Agassi, and Andy Roddick going at it - in the new paddle competition - singles and doubles - playing for a million dollars. Alexandra and Hughes, who goes by the nickname, Ougi, give their opinion on ATP players Medvedev and Sinner - and the WTA players, Rybakina and Kvitova in the finals of the Miami Open. Ougi and Alexandra discuss the different ways of being a champion - not always having to win a championship.  They note that in the men's Final Four, Florida Atlantic walks away as champions.  As to the women's NCAA basketball players, Alexandra notes that some of them could be recruited by the WWE, as indicated by their rough and tough play on court, hands and elbows flying, bodies busting up plays. 8-time Grand Slam champion, the legendary Andre Agassi - who played in the Pickleball Slam at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida - gives Alexandra's chosen quote of the episode..."Pickleball is where tennis players go to die, so I'm officially dying."http://@alexandrastevenson

Petra Kvitova captured her 30th Hologic WTA Tour title at the Miami Open, where she defeated Elena Rybakina 7-6(14), 6-2 in the final. The victory vaults Kvitova back in the Top 10 for the first time since 2021. Kvitova joins the podcast to reflect on her stunning run to the title and explain why practice doesn't always make perfect. 

Joined by Vansh Vermani, we analyse how Petra Kvitova was able to overcome Elena Rybakina in a scintillating Miami Open final.00:00: All the stats on Petra Kvitova's 30th title win.04:41: Sorana Cirstea's improvements going into her semifinal with Kvitova.05:55: Kvitova takes advantage of Cirstea's underlying weakness in the semis.09:21: Petra Kvitova's tactical advantages over Elena Rybakina in the final.15:12: The 30 point tiebreak.19:05: The second set.

It's the halfway point of Tennis Paradise with Kim and Chris on hand to make sense of all the madness that has happened so far out in the desert at Indian Wells as the tournament reaches the Quarter Final stage.With Emma Raducanu rediscovering some lost form, Jack Draper getting the better of fellow Brits, Medvedev making it 17 consecutive wins and Kvitova battling through in topsy turvy fashion, there is plenty to discuss from the past week on tour.They also discuss Novak Djokovic's recent Challenger event invitation, ongoing tensions on tour surrounding the Russian Invasion of Ukraine, and the quality of the (hard?) courts out in California.Chris also brings back Mysterious Player to test Kim and the listeners with a topical puzzle.__________________Tweet us @TennisWeeklyPod or email the show here: tennisweeklypod@gmail.comMake sure to check out our website as well to get your full Tennis Weekly fix.**Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Bevor ich euch aber auf den neuesten Stand bringe, müssen wir mit Breaking News starten. Rafael Nadal musste sein Match gegen Mackenzie MacDonald im 2. Satz beim Stand von 3-5 aufgeben. Bei einem Ballwechsel fasste er sich nach einem Ausfallschritt an die Hüfte und konnte nach einem Medical Timeout seinem Gegner nur gratulieren. Sein Körper lässt ihn immer häufiger im Stich.

In the latest episode of Tennis Weekly, Joel and Chris catch up on all the Round 3 action from the US Open and look ahead to the second week of the final slam of the year. They cover THE tennis headline story of the year: Serena Williams playing what looks like will be her final match and question if it really is the last time we see her on a tennis court? They reflect back on the mixed fortunes of the Brits, with a routine win for Cam Norrie but heartbreak for Jack Draper and tough losses for Murray and Evans. Our Collect-a-set picks Caroline Garcia and Carlos Alcaraz continue to impress and Medvedev sets up a mouth watering 4th Round clash with Nick Kyrgios. Joel and Chris also discuss the last 16 encounters they are most looking forward to and make predictions as to who could make a deep run into the second week at Flushing Meadows.______________DOWNLOADTENNIS.COMTo stay up to date on all tennis around the world including ATP, WTA and Challenger tours, download TNNS Live Scores.Download on Apple PodcastsDownload on Google PlayFollow TNNS Live Scores on TwitterAnd check out the TNNS Lives Scores website at www.downloadtennis.com______________SOCIAL MEDIAShare your fan thoughts on the week with the #TennisWeekly on social media.Twitter: @tennisweeklypodInstagram: @tennisweeklypodWebsite: tennisweekly.co.ukWritten, presented and produced by Joel Girling and Kim MackenzieCrowdfunded by our listeners.Recorded on 4th September 2022.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit den Masters Turnieren in Cincinnati. Auch in dieser Woche gab es wieder überraschende Siegerinnen und Sieger. Bei den Herren konnte sich Borna Coric, der ja im Frühling von einer längeren Verletzungspause zurückgekommen war, durchsetzen. Er gewann das Finale gegen Stefanos Tsitsipas und hatte davor unter anderem schon gegen Cameron Norrie, Felix Auger-Aliassime und Rafael Nadal gesiegt. Es war der erste Masters Titel für Coric. Trotz seiner reichlichen Erfahrung ist Coric auch immer noch nur 25 Jahre alt. Tsitsipas ist während seiner Karriere natürlich ungleich erfolgreicher gewesen, musste sich jedoch hier im Finale geschlagen geben. Vorher hatte Tsitsipas im Halbfinale gegen seinen alten Rivalen Daniil Medvedev gewonnen. Einer der wenigen Siege für Tsitsipas gegen Medvedev. Der an Nummer 3 gesetzte Carlos Alcaraz verlor in einem ganz engen Viertelfinale gegen Cameron Norrie. Bei den Damen gewann ebenfalls eine Altbekannte. Hier konnte sich Carolina Garcia im Finale gegen Petra Kvitova durchsetzen. Für Garcia der erste große Erfolg seit Jahren, wobei sie ja seit Wochen in guter Form ist. Trotzdem hatte sie hier in Cincinnati in die Qualifikation gemusst und war damit die erste Qualifikantin, die sich den Titel bei einem 1000er Turnier sichern konnte. Garcia hatte auf dem Weg zum Titel unter anderem gegen Maria Sakkari, Jessica Pegula und Aryna Sabalenka gewonnen. Auch Finalgegnerin Petra Kvitova hatte in den letzten Jahren nicht mehr so viel Erfolge gefeiert wie noch in vergangen Jahren, sich jedoch zuletzt wieder gefangen. Kvitova hatte dabei auf dem Weg ins Finale gegen Ons Jabeur und Madison Keys gewonnen. Letztere war vor dem Finale wohl die Spielerin der Woche gewesen. So hatte Keys gegen Iga Swiatek und Elena Rybakina gewonnen. Zum Schluss der Sendung blicken Andreas und Philipp noch auf die Nominierungen für den Davis Cup. Eine der Stationen wir ja hier im September in Hamburg sein. Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen? Dann schaue auf www.kostenlos-hosten.de und informiere dich.

Muguruza lost, again. She now has 10 losses on the season, and only 7 wins. Is she finished? Who is more finished, her or Kvitova? Where they do they rank amongst their colleagues Vika, Kerber, in terms of finishedness? Is that even a word? Now it is. What do you make of Kudermetova's win over Sabalenka? BHM stays winning!!! So does Alexandrova, I can't believe she's not playing Wimbledon. McNally has more wins on grass this season than any other player, 7. Can she keep going? I think yes. I recap today's matches and preview tomorrow's slate, as well as look at the draw and how things stand going into.

No words to be said for what Ajla Tomljanovic and Sori Cirstea did today. Martina Trevisan and Angie Kerber keep winning. One really straightforwardly and one in dramatic fashion. Petra Kvitova lost today, and Kaja Muchova beat Sakkari. Onto tomorrow, for the remainder of round 2 matches. Best thing I saw today: Karolina Muchova Worst thing I saw today: Ajla Tomljanovic & Sori Cirstea Most interesting I saw today: Saville 6-4 6-2 against Kvitova

Take a bow, Queen Dayana. Unbelievable performance by Yastremska that took a lot of guts and guile. I recap the two tournaments in Monterrey and Lyon thus far, and preview the upcoming matches for Wednesday. I also discuss the FUTURE of the WTA tour, whilst also addressing some concerns in some of the young, promising players (Potapova, Kostyuk, Frech) and also some of the veteran players who seem to be on their way out (Kvitova, Halep, Vika)

Wow wow wow. Carlitos in Rio. Djokovic, Rublev and Jiri Vesely in Dubai, Medvedev, Zverev, and Nadal in Acapulco. Ostapenko in Dubai, Swiatek in Doha, and Sabalenka, Kvitova, Badosa, Sakkari, Halep, Yastremska, Kasatkina, Tomljanovic. FAA, Tsitsipas. A lotof players feature in our 2.5 week long recap, and I try my best to cover everything! Welcome back!!!

Losing a deciding set is no fun. Especially if it's after you won the first, and especially losing it in a tiebreak. Mixed results from our bets, although the WTA St. Petersburg tournament seems to be delightful thus far. Kudermetova, Giorgi, Teichmann, Cornet, all with first round exits. That's how good the draw is. Kvitova loses tomorrow? Can Xinyu Wang get it going? Shapovalov plays who?

Andy Murray produces a five-set win for the ages against Nikoloz Basilashvili to reach the second round, Angelique Kerber and Petra Kvitova suffer upset losses, we preview Day 3 including Ash Barty v Lucia Bronzetti and Rafael Nadal v Yannick Hanfmann, and why the fans keep coming back to Melbourne Park.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In 2011, a young Czech dared to follow in the footsteps of her tennis hero, stepping out as a Wimbledon finalist just five years after discovering she was quite good at tennis. Opting to do all the talking with her racquet, Wimbledon was where it all started for a relatively unknown, Petra Kvitová, but there was much more to come... Ten years on and Kvitova is beloved by tennis, not simply for her dominant displays on court, but the way she has overcome all the odds off it, too. A horrendous incident that almost robbed Petra of her life, and very nearly ended her career, tested her metal in a way that Grand Slam finals never could.  In this episode, we retrace Kvitová's steps, from a small-town girl practising with her father in school sports halls, to stunning the world by winning two Wimbledon titles in the most extraordinary fashion. We also dig a little deeper, and get to know the woman who has emerged from a ten-year journey that has been anything but smooth. Join us for a story of raw power, remarkable resilience and dogged determination; a story of triumph against all odds. With special thanks to Petra Kvitová, Jiří Vaněk, Katie Spellman, Courtney Nguyen, Barbora Strycova, Martina Navratilova, Australian Open
