Podcast appearances and mentions of marin cilic

The Tennis Tragic #064 / Goran's Knee / Must we suffer for our art?  Have we been coddled, and can we triumph in spite of our soft hearts?  The great ship Wimbledon finds itself mid-stream.  Matt finds the random button, and we all discover August Holmgren as a result.  Players get more serious about the Upset Game.  Marin Cilic pauses and we flashback to the Match That Time Forgot.  Arthur Rinderknech stops the darkness, while Laura Siegemund practices the dark arts.  A fishing trip organized by Craig Boynton is described.  Goran Ivanisevic dishes out some tough love (on one leg).  Trinity Rodman gazes lovingly at Ben Shelton.  Matte and David consider a lateral career move and re-imagine the Tennis Tragic as a Tennis Podcast Podcast.

Century up! Wimbledon Day 6 is in the books — join Kim and Chris as they reflect on another milestone day for Novak Djokovic, who glided into the fourth round and notched his 100th match win at Wimbledon on Centre Court. Jannik Sinner also enjoyed a comfortable win, cruising past an injured Pedro Martinez, while Marin Cilic continued his strong grass-court form. Grigor Dimitrov reached his own milestone with his 100th Grand Slam match win, and the ever-consistent Alex De Minaur booked yet another second-week Slam appearance - he's now reached the last 16 in 7 of the last 8 Slams.It was a dramatic day on the women's side too, sparking debate among the team: is Iga Swiatek now the favourite from the bottom half of the draw to reach the final? And what's with all the pasta and strawberries? There were tears as defending champion Barbora Krejcikova fell to Emma Navarro, guaranteeing an eighth consecutive new women's champion at Wimbledon. Why is it so hard to defend the women's title? The team weighs in. Meanwhile, hot favourite Elena Rybakina was also sent packing by Clara Tauson, seemingly unsettled by her No. 2 Court assignment. Should she have been on Centre or No. 1 Court — and should it have made a difference? Whilst teen sensation Mirra Andreeva breezed through to R4 to get the team thinking just how influential it is to have a previous champion in Conchita Martinez by your side.BABOLATBabolat are an official partner of Wimbledon and their Wimbledon collaboration collection is available to purchase now from babolat.com 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.

Outsider annoncé de ce Wimbledon 2025, le Britannique, Jack Draper, est tombé de haut hier ! Le locacl a perdu au 2e tour contre Marin Cilic. Grosse désillusion ? Quels progrès doit-il encore réalisé pour dompter le gazon ? L'équipe revient sur la nouvelle surprise à Londres sans oublier de distribuer les tops et les flops de la journée. Dans la 2e partie de l'émission, pronostics sur les affiches du jour à Wimbledon. Au menu notamment, Rublev vs Mannarino, Fritz vs Fokina, Majchrzak vs Rinderknech, Jarry vs Fonseca ou encore Struff vs Alcaraz.  

Pour soutenir notre projet et sauver l'alternance de Joris, nous lançons une campagne de financement participatif sur Tipee : https://fr.tipeee.com/game-set-talk Dans cette vidéo, nous revenons sur la fin des seconds tours à Wimbledon 2025 où Jack Draper est tombé contre Marin Cilic, et pareil pour Tommy Paul contre Ofner. Jannik Sinner déroule, et Alcaraz devra se méfier de Struff.

We were live after close of play on a busy day 4 at the Championships. In part 1 we discuss Draper's shock loss to former finalist here Marin Cilic. What does this mean for both of them? How can Draper still improve both on grass and at Wimbledon? And Can Cilic go even further? We also cover Novak Djokovic and Jannik cruising through, as well as an intriguing epic between August Holmgren and Tomas Machac which was notable not only for four tie-break sets out of five, but also some unexpected clothing-rule-related-drama. In part 2 (43m05s) we wrapped up the women's results. Mirra Andreeva held firm despite being tested by Lucia Bronzetti, and defending champion Krejcikova slipped past Dolehide to set up a match with Emma Navarro. Swiatek too made it through; we discuss how her confidence is holding up as she progresses through the draw. And another former champion, Elena Rybakina, is looking strong, swatting away Sakkari with the kind of skills we wish we could employ to dispatch the insects currently plaguing our podcast bench! In part 3 (57m49s) we run through tomorrow's order of play, consider how Alcaraz might fare against Struff, preview Sabalenka-Raducanu, and come to the conclusion that tomorrow, Court 2 is where it's at in terms of excitement, as Fonseca takes on Jarry and Keys plays Siegemund.Become a Friend of The Tennis PodcastCheck out our ⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠!

Ben is joined once more by Ricky Dimon to catch up on the further upsets in the second round of Wimbledon after the carnage in the opening round, and to set up third round clashes. We start with Jack Draper, the local hope who was bundled out by 2017 runner-up Marin Cilic. We then wrap up the rest of the men, including exits for Americans Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul, and look for what could be in store the rest of the way if upsets subside. We then turn to the women, who lost last year's finalist Jasmine Paolini, but who have a few real tasty third rounds now on the cards, including Sabalenka-Raducanu, Andreeva-Baptiste, and Krejcikova-Navarro.

On the Wimbledon 2025 3rd Round Show, Gill Gross starts with a breakdown of Marin Cilic's vintage performance to oust 4-seed Jack Draper. Then, we'll go through the men's draw and update predictions. We'll talk Taylor Fritz's return strategy after he conquered yet another huge server in Gabriel Diallo. Other topics include Joao Fonseca's quick grass learning, Novak Djokovic's A-PLUS performance against Dan Evans, Cam Norrie's upset over Frances Tiafoe and why Gill is still high on Jakub Mensik.

Day 4 of Wimbledon 2025 delivered high drama, standout performances and a deflating day for the Brits. Jack Draper lost out to veteran Marin Cilic who rolled back the years and reminded us just why he is a Grand Slam champion and a former Wimbledon finalist. It leaves Jack Draper once again coming unstuck against a 10/10 opponent and not quite living up to the hype at Majors which the gang discuss. Novak Djokovic also showed no signs of slowing down as he defeated Britain's Dan Evans convincingly, exacting revenge on that Monte Carlo reverse in 2021. Does he look the best he has done in his quest for Grand Slam 25? Quite possibly. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner also cruised past Aleksandar Vukic in straight sets. In the women's draw, Iga Swiatek (and resident Wimbledon towel thief) staged a strong comeback against Caty McNally, and defending champion Barbora Krejcikova advanced after a tough battle with Caroline Dolehide. Elena Rybakina and rising star Mirra Andreeva also booked spots in the third round with Joel assessing the teen queen's chances on grass after she stated earlier in the year that the surface is her least favourite. We also look ahead to the epic showdown of Sabalenka vs. Raducanu and wonder just how much can the British crowd try and get into the Belarusian's head as the third round kicks off.BABOLATBabolat are an official partner of Wimbledon and their Wimbledon collaboration collection is available to purchase now from babolat.com 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.

Tennis: Kei Nishikori Beats Marin Cilic in Singles 1st Round at Japan Open

Mark Petchey kicks off this episode with his analysis of the Laver Cup, where he witnessed Team Europe reclaim the trophy in Berlin. Petchey assesses why the event remains one of the best spectacles on the tennis calendar, how it amplifies the doubles game, and why it's another example of how everything Roger Federer touches turns to gold. The commentator also disscusses the current happenings in the "Asian Swing" section of the season, with Marin Cilic & Jerry Shang claiming trophies, and an enormous combined event with many of the game's stars kicking off in Beijing. And then Magnus Norman, one of the game's premier coaches of the 21st century joins the podcast for conversation about his life in tennis. Norman looks back at his playing career, which saw him reach a major final and #2 in the rankings before it was cut short by injuries. He explains why he chose to become a coach, working with Thomas Johnassen, Robin Soderling and Stan Wawrinka. The Swede recalls Soderling's historic win over Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, and how he worked with Wawrinka to find that killer instinct that propelled him to three major titles. And Norman reveals why he decided to found the "Good To Great Tennis Academy," the first of it's kind in Sweden. Rounding out the show is Joel Drucker, a prominent writer with decades of experience covering the sport around the globe. Drucker discusses the generational shift at the top of the sport, and why there are always ebbs and flows in the pro game. The writer also examines the state of team events with the Davis & Laver Cups at center stage, and analyzes the pros and cons of mid-match coaching. Drucker is a member of the USTA Northern California Hall of Fame, and on the eve of that honor he professes why writing about tennis is the best job in the world. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

FERNANDO VICENTE ON ANDREY RUBLEV'S BELIEF - ‘I think he really believes, but the problem in all of these quarter-finals, in seven of them we didn't really have a chance because we faced better players and he was young, but in one of them against Marin Cilic, he didn't really act good in the fifth, but he's ready to cross the line'.IVAN LJUBICIC ON BEING BACK ON TOUR AS A COACH AND CONSULTANT - ‘I'm back on tour as ever since Covid with Roger Federer he didn't really travel much. Everything is more involved now but I love it, I love the tour, I've been on tour for more than 25 years now and I'm not planning to go anywhere'.LUCA VAN ASSCHE ON HIS AMBITION - ‘In five years I hope that I will be a Grand Slam winner, number one in the world and that I will be a very famous player, a loved one, so yes, that's it'.KAREN KHACHANOV ON DEALING WITH THE MENTAL SIDE OF THE GAME - ‘It's a process but I would say that you don't over think, you just focus on the current process. On a daily basis you can get stressed in a way, more nervous that you can't control and it becomes like a hurricane from week-to-week and from last year I feel like I'm in more control'.HOLGER RUNE ON BORIS BECKER JOINING HIS TEAM - ‘Boris and I have known each other for some years and he was writing to me, showing me that he liked me as a person, as a player, so the last few weeks we've got in touch and hopefully we can be successful'. MIKE JAMES ON HIS ROLE AS PERFORMANCE ANALYST - ‘We're trying to pull everything together to try to gain five or six points a tennis match and if you're talking about someone like Holger Rune, you're at Everest base camp, you can see the summit, so how do you buy an extra two hundred points a season to get to number one in the world'.PLUS ATP UNCOVERED LOOK BACK ON HOW HOLGER RUNE WON THE 2022 ROLEX PARIS MASTERS- Podcast presented by Chris Bowers- Interviews by Chris Bowers, Seb Lauzier, and Candy Reid- Features by ATP Uncovered

Kanada gegen Deutschland mit dem Rücken zur Wand Schon im Viertelfinale war Kanada ordentlich unter Druck geraten, hatte das entscheidende Doppel gegen Deutschland gebraucht. In besagtes Doppel waren die Kanadier als Außenseiter gegen die im Davis Cup ungeschlagenen Tim Pütz und Kevin Krawietz gegangen. Dank einer besonderen Leistung von Shapovalov konnten sich die Kanadier trotzdem durchsetzen. Im Halbfinale war es dann ...Du möchtest deinen Podcast auch kostenlos hosten und damit Geld verdienen?

FELIX AUGER-ALIASSIME ON HIS HOPES OF QUALIFYING FOR TURIN - ‘For the last two years it's been a clear goal that I want to be in Turin. Last year I was close and this year I have real chances, I'm in the race right now but a lot of things can happen until Turin. I don't think about it day-to-day, but once we get to the last tournaments of the year it's always the talk of the week as the last players are pushing to squeeze in their ticket to Turin'.HOLGER RUNE ON A POTENTIAL RIVALRY WITH CARLOS ALCARAZ - ‘I'm excited, hopefully it's going to be like Roger and Rafa, it could be great, that's what we're seeking for to be the greatest players of all time and to be the greatest players we can be and for my side I'm just trying to fulfil my potential and be as great as I can be everyday and be one percent better every time I step on the practice court'.DENIS SHAPOVALOV ON THE NEED TO HANDLE BIG MOMENTS WITH EXCITEMENT, RATHER THAN FEAR - ‘I think it comes with experience. When you're coming up there's more things to fear like you don't belong or feel like you won't make it, but obviously I feel like I've got a great level with my game and that any moment I can pick it up and play some great tennis'. COACH JOSEPH GILBERT ON JENSON BROOKSBY'S DESIRE TO REACH THE TOP - ‘It was not about building a weapon, it was more about not having weaknesses. We couldn't build him as a typical American player and I think a lot of people have seen that, he wasn't the biggest, fastest, strongest growing up and throughout his career people have not believed he can go to the next level which I think has only fuelled his competitiveness'.ALEXANDER BUBLIK ON PLAYING AT HOME IN KAZAKHSTAN - ‘Every time being here it's a great adventure, great city which has been my home for the past seven years and this is big for me, seeing all these kids and seeing my picture all over the town and you know, spending so much time doing autographs, spending three hours a day signing things on the streets and I'm really enjoying that I have a certain impact on the country'.PLUS MARIN CILIC TAKES QUIZ QUESTIONS ON HIS OWN CAREER AND DIEGO SCHWARTZMAN TALKS US THROUGH THE ITEMS HE TRAVELS WITH- Programme presented by Seb Lauzier- Interviews by Mike Cation, Seb Lauzier, Jill Craybas and Ursin Caderas- Jenson Brooksby, Marin Cilic and Diego Schwartzman features by ATP Uncovered

MLB – Major League Baseball Yesterday Los Angeles Angels 10, Detroit Tigers 0 Chicago White Sox 3, Seattle Mariners 2 Cubs were off Angels 10, Tigers 0 – Ohtani, Trout power Angels to 10-0 win over Tigers Shohei Ohtani had his sixth multi-homer game of the season, Mike Trout also went deep and José Suarez threw three-hit ball over seven innings as the Los Angeles Angels routed the skidding Detroit Tigers 10-0. Luis Rengifo had a career-high four hits and drove in a run for the Angels, who had their second-biggest offensive performance of the season with 16 hits. It is the seventh time this season Ohtani and Trout have homered in the same game. Trout’s solo shot to left field in the fifth off Tyler Alexander was his 30th homer of the season, marking the seventh time in his 12-year career he has reached that plateau. White Sox 3, Mariners 2 – Lynn dominates as White Sox snap M’s streak with 3-2 win Lance Lynn mowed through Seattle striking out a season-high 11, Elvis Andrus hit a two-run home run, and the Chicago White Sox snapped the Mariners’ seven-game win streak with a 3-2 win. Lynn retired the final 17 batters he faced in a dominant outing against a Seattle lineup that looked sleepy following a long Sunday in Cleveland and an early-morning arrival back in the Pacific Northwest. Lynn didn’t allow a base runner after Abraham Toro’s bloop RBI single in the second inning that right fielder Andrew Vaughn appeared to lose briefly in the sun. The 11 strikeouts were one off his career high. Seattle starter Marco Gonzales threw seven strong innings but allowed two home runs.

Coach Mel Tucker made the announcements on Monday. Snow and Henderson had their right legs wrapped with protective braces Saturday night when Michigan State beat the Broncos 35-13. Snow and Henderson were two of the team’s top players on defense and losing them will hurt its chances of improving what the worst FBS team against the pass last season. The Spartans host Akron on Saturday. NCAAFB – Harbaugh hopes players get a revenue share from 12-team CFP Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh hopes players get a cut of the revenue generated by an expanded College Football Playoff. The plan to expand the CFP from four teams was approved Friday, and the new-look tournament will begin as soon as 2024 and as late as 2026. The 11 university leaders who make up CFP’s Board of Managers approved the original 12-team proposal in a unanimous vote that was necessary to pursue early expansion. Six of the highest-ranked conference champions and six at-large, selection-committee selections will earn a spot in the new playoff format. Tennis – US Open – Tiafoe ends Nadal’s 22-match Slam streak in US Open 4th Rd Frances Tiafoe has ended Rafael Nadal’s 22-match winning streak at Grand Slam tournaments by beating the 22-time major champion 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the U.S. Open’s fourth round. Tiafoe is a 24-year-old from Maryland who is seeded 22nd at Flushing Meadows and reached the second major quarterfinal of his career. He is the youngest American man to get that far at the U.S. Open since Andy Roddick in 2006. This surprise came a day after Nick Kyrgios eliminated No. 1 seed and defending champion Daniil Medvedev. That makes this the first U.S. Open without either of the top two seeded men reaching the quarterfinals since 2000. Tennis – US Open – No. 3 Alcaraz beats Cilic in 5-set match | US Open updates It’s going to be a U.S. Open quarterfinals matchup of two rising stars when third-seeded Carlos Alcaraz plays No. 11-seed Jannik Sinner. The 19-year-old Alcaraz was the last to advance in one of the longest nights ever at the Open with a 6-4, 3-6, 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 win over 2014 U.S. Open champion Marin Cilic at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Alcaraz dropped to his knees when he won the grueling match that lasted nearly four hours and ended around 2:25 a.m. Alcaraz was already the youngest man to reach the fourth round in consecutive U.S. Open since Pete Sampras in 1989 and ’90. NFL – Bears’ Eberflus appreciates moment with opener at hand Matt Eberflus can appreciate the moment. He’s a first-time head coach trying to turn around a founding NFL franchise, and the next big step comes this week when the Chicago Bears host the San Francisco 49ers in the season opener. Eberflus says it’s “always special when you do something for the first time” and is “part of your story that you’re writing.” The Bears hired general manager Ryan Poles and Eberflus to replace the fired Ryan Pace and Matt Nagy after going 6-11 and missing the playoffs for the ninth time in 11 years. NFL – NFL returning to London for international combine in October The NFL is holding an international combine in London for the second consecutive year. Forty-four athletes will be selected to participate in the combine in front of NFL evaluators at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Oct. 3-4. Instead of team scouts, the NFL that evaluates the players and selects a handful to train in the United States for three months, after which final choices are made to allocate players to NFL teams for the 2023 season. And then, they still need to win a spot on the team roster. It will be the fourth international combine after one in Australia in 2018, another in Germany in 2019 and London last year. NASCAR – NASCAR’s wild regular season rolls over into playoffs If NASCAR’s playoff opener at Darlington Raceway was any indication, the postseason is going to be a wild one. Erik Jones became the first non-playoff driver to win NASCAR’s opening playoff race. Several top seeds expected to compete like Chase Elliott, Kyle Larson, Kevin Harvick and Kyle Busch were out of contention at the end. Elliott was the top playoff seed and hit the wall early. Harvick’s car caught fire and he went from ninth in points to 16th on the brink of elimination. Defending series champ Larson was several laps down before finishing 12th.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der fünften Zusammenfassung von den US Open. Am Montag wurden die Viertelfinals in New York komplettiert und es gab durchaus das ein oder andere gute Match zu sehen. Niemeier verpasst die Sensation Nicht ins Viertelfinale geschafft hat es Jule Niemeier, die am Ende in drei Sätzen gegen Iga Swiatek verlor. Dabei hatte Niemeier den besseren Start gegen eine fehlerhaft spielende Swiatek erwischt, nur um dann ab dem zweiten Satz Probleme mit dem Aufschlag zu haben. Am Ende stand ein sicherer Sieg für Swiatek, die im Laufe des Matches auch ihre Form fand. Für die Weltranglistenerste geht es nun gegen Jessica Pegula, die ihrerseits im Achtelfinale gegen Petra Kvitova gewann. Das andere Viertelfinale in der oberen Hälfte bestreiten Karolina Pliskova und Aryna Sabalenka. Pliskova gewann ein enges Match gegen Victoria Azarenka und Sabalenka konnte sich gegen Danielle Collins durchsetzen. Während Collins Probleme mit dem Aufschlag hatte, die sich Sabalenka im Laufe der Parte zunutze machte, lebte Pliskova am Montag von einem sehr guten Vorhand-Tag. Nadal verliert gegen Tiafoe Bei den Herren erwischte es am Montag Rafael Nadal. Er war nur der zweitbeste Spieler im Match gegen Frances Tiafoe. Der konnte seine offensive Herangehensweise in den wichtigsten Momenten über den Lauf des Matches aufrechterhalten. Für Tiafoe ein großer Sieg, er kann nun im nächsten Match gegen Andrey Rublev erstmals das Halbfinale bei einem Grand Slam erreichen. Der hatte am Montag in einem überraschend einseitigen Match gegen Cameron Norrie gewonnen. Das andere Viertelfinale bei den Herren in der unteren Hälfte bestreiten Jannik Sinner und Carlos Alcaraz. Sinner machte es unnötig eng gegen Ilya Ivashka während Alcaraz einige Zeit brauchte, um sich der Aufgabe Marin Cilic zu entledigen. So kommt es nun zum dritten Aufeinandertreffen zwischen Alcaraz und Sinner in diesem Jahr. Die zwei vorherigen Begegnungen hat dabei Sinner gewinnen können.

There was a morning after feeling to Day 6 at the US Open following Serena Williams' defeat on Friday night. But it actually didn't take long for great matches to start happening again, bringing new life to the tournament and giving us plenty to talk about on the podcast. After a night off, Catherine re-joined David and Matt for all of her Serena vs Tomljanovic takes plus lots of chat about Saturday's action. We reflect some more on Serena's legacy before talking about final set tiebreak victories for Petra Kvitova and Andrey Rublev, their beaten opponents Garbine Muguruza and Denis Shapovalov, a surging Frances Tiafoe, an 18th consecutive win for Rafael Nadal against Richard Gasquet, and whether Marin Cilic can trouble Carlos Alcaraz. There's also discussion about some incredibly important words from Victoria Azarenka on the issue of safeguarding against abusive coaches and relationships on the WTA Tour.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit der Auslosungsvorschau für die US Open 2022. Nach all den verschiedenen Siegerinnen und Siegerin, die wir in den letzten Wochen auf der Tour erlebt haben, ist das 4. Grand Slam Turnier durchaus als offen zu betrachten. Medvedev früh gegen Kyrgios? Das Herrenfeld hat als Topgesetzten jedoch einen Altbekannten. Denn Daniil Medvedev hat das Turnier im letzten Jahr gewonnen und zwei Jahre zuvor das Finale erreicht. Er könnte schon recht früh auf Nick Kyrgios oder Roberto Bautista-Agut treffen. Auch im oberen Viertel befindet sich Felix Auger-Aliassime und der Montreal-Sieger Pablo Carreno-Busta. Auch zur oberen Hälfte gehören Stefanos Tsitsipas, Matteo Berrettini und Taylor Fritz. Die unter Hälfte wird angeführt von Rafael Nadal, hinter dessen Form jedoch auch dass ein oder andere Fragezeichen steht. Kann er die fehlende Matchpraxis mit Erfahrung wettmachen? Zu den anderen Topgesetzten in seiner Hälfte der Auslosung gehören unter anderem Carlos Alcaraz, Marin Cilic und Cameron Norrie. Wie gut drauf ist Iga Swiatek? Bei den Damen ist die Sache wie gewohnt noch ein bisschen offener. Hier führt die beste Spielerin des Jahres das Tableau an. Doch wird Iga Swiatek einen Weg durch die Auslosung finden? Sie könnte schon recht früh auf Amanda Anisimova oder Jelena Ostapenko treffen. Auch in der oberen Hälfte sind die Siegerin aus dem letzten Jahr, Emma Raducanu, die zweifache Gewinnerin Naomi Osaka und die Wimbledon-Siegerin Naomi Osaka. Der Abschied von Serena Williams Weit unten im vierten Viertel ist Serena Williams zu finden. Sie könnte schon sehr früh auf die an 2 gesetzte Anett Kontaveit treffen. Doch davor muss Williams erstmal gegen Danka Kovinic gewinnen. Auch Simona Halep ist einer der großen Namen in der unteren Hälfte. Sie könnte im Achtelfinale gegen einen anderen prominenten Namen spielen, Coco Gauff. Ebenso zu finden sind hier zwei der Formspielerinnen der letzten Wochen, Beatriz Haddad Maia und Carolina Garcia.

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.

NCAA – Big Ten votes to add USC, UCLA as members starting in 2024 The Big Ten voted unanimously to add Southern California and UCLA as conference members beginning in 2024. The expansion to 16 teams will happen after the Pac-12’s current media rights contracts with Fox and ESPN expire and make the Big Ten the first conference to stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The announced came almost a year after Oklahoma and Texas formally accepted invitations to join the Southeastern Conference in July 2025. NHL – Red Wings hire Lightning assistant Derek Lalonde as coach The Detroit Red Wings have hired two-time Stanley Cup-winning assistant Derek Lalonde as coach after a lengthy search process. Lalonde was on Jon Cooper’s Tampa Bay Lightning staff the past four years in which they won the Cup twice and most recently reached the final. Lalonde is now in charge of a team in Detroit on the upswing of a long-term rebuild. Lalonde is the first active Cooper assistant to take a head coaching job in the NHL. He replaces Jeff Blashill who coached the Red Wings for seven seasons.  Red Wings General Manager Steve Yzerman hired Lalonde when Yzerman held the same position as GM of Tampa Bay.

Seven of those hits came in the eighth against outfielder Max Schrock, who allowed a two-run homer to P.J. Higgins and a solo shot to Morel. Wisdom’s slam off Graham Ashcraft capped a five-run second, and he also connected against Dauri Moreta in the sixth.

The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission voted Thursday to reclassify a terminal at the Port of Oakland as a mixed-use area where a new ballpark could be built. The vote is the first in a series of hurdles before the team could get permission to break ground for the project. The Athletics have also been working on plans to relocate to Nevada and find a spot for a new stadium in Las Vegas. NBA – 5 players, $1.1 billion: NBA free agency starts with a bang The NBA generated more basketball related income than ever this past season, the total number coming up just short of $9 billion. Business is good. The first night of free agency underscored how good. Nikola Jokic, Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, Karl-Anthony Towns and Ja Morant agreed to extensions worth more than $1 billion by the time they expire, highlighting the moves made Thursday when the NBA’s annual free-agent negotiating window opened. NBA – AP source: Kevin Durant asks for trade from Brooklyn Nets A person with direct knowledge of the decision says Kevin Durant has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. The decision revealed just before the start of NBA free agency undoubtedly will have teams scrambling to put together enormous offers for the perennial All-Star. The Nets have been working with Durant to find a trade partner, and he has multiple teams on his preferred list. That’s according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither the player nor Brooklyn revealed any details publicly. ESPN first reported Durant’s trade request and cited Phoenix and Miami as two of his preferred destinations. Durant is a 12-time All-Star, 4-time scoring champion, 3-time Olympic gold medalist and 2-time NBA champion.

Details of the arrest first reported by TMZ were not immediately available. Bridges was the Hornets’ leading scorer last season and is set to become a restricted free agent and could command a max contract. NBA free agency begins Thursday night. The 24-year-old Bridges averaged career highs with 20.2 points and seven rebounds last season for the Hornets in what amounted to a breakout season while playing alongside All-Star LaMelo Ball. Bridges is also a rapper, who goes by the name RTB MB. Golf – LIV – LIV tees off in Oregon amid criticism over Saudi funding The Saudi Arabia-backed LIV Golf tour’s second event teed off Thursday, angering a group of families who lost loved ones on Sept. 11 and want the Saudi government held to account for the terrorist attacks. About 10 family members and survivors spoke at a small park honoring veterans in tiny North Plains, home to Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club. The LIV Golf series, funded by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, was making its first stop on American soil this week after a debut this month outside of London. Carlos Ortiz took the lead Thursday with a 5-under 67. Dustin Johnson, the 2020 Masters winner, was a shot back, and Hideto Tadihara, Pat Perez and Brenden Grace were two shots off the lead. Golf – PGA – JT Poston shoots 62, leads John Deere Classic by 2 strokes J.T. Poston shot a 9-under 62 on Thursday to take a two-stroke lead in the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic. Coming off a second-place tie last week in Connecticut after also opening with a 62, Poston eagled the par-5 second and had seven birdies in a bogey-free round at TPC Deere Run. He won the 2019 Wyndham Championship for his lone PGA Tour title. Canadian Michael Gligic was second at 64, playing in the final group of the day off the first tee. Vaughn Taylor and Christopher Gotterup followed at 65. Tennis – Wimbledon – Most American men reach Wimbledon’s 3rd round since 1995 There will be eight American men in the third round of Wimbledon for the first time since 1995. That’s also the largest group for the country at that stage of any Grand Slam tournament since the U.S. Open a year later. Brandon Nakashima, Taylor Fritz and Jenson Brooksby all advanced at the All England Club. Nakashima pulled off the biggest surprise by beating 2021 Wimbledon semifinalist Denis Shapovalov of Canada. Four U.S. men will play for a berth in the fourth round Friday: John Isner, Steve Johnson, Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul. Tennis – Wimbledon – COVID-19 at Wimbledon: 3 top-20 men out after positive tests Reigning Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic might be playing in his last Grand Slam tournament for a while because he isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19. And the coronavirus has become a significant matter at the All England Club: Three of the top 20 seeded men in the tournament have pulled out of the bracket after testing positive.

Catherine, David and Matt discuss where the matches were won and lost, how the conditions impacted Zverev vs. Nadal, the emotional toll this tournament is taking on Nadal, what happened to Marin Cilic as he faded, and why reaching a first slam final is a big deal for Casper Ruud.

With everyone still recovering from the very late finish to Rafael Nadal vs Novak Djokovic, Wednesday dawned with Amelie Mauresmo's press conference, and Catherine was there to ask her about why the scheduling has favoured men's matches over women's matches this tournament. Mauresmo's comments - that it's because men's tennis is more appealing - cast a big shadow over the day's play and we talked about why they were so damaging and disappointing on the pod. Elsewhere, we discuss Iga Swiatek's form, whether Jessica Pegula can do even better than Grand Slam quarter-finals, how Daria Kasatkina and Casper Ruud both broke new ground, and Marin Cilic's continued resurgence.

Dans l'actualité sportive du jour, Marin Cilic, 33 ans, a battu le numéro 2 mondial Daniil Medvedev en trois sets, 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, en huitièmes de finale de Roland-Garros.

Monday was the day when the bottom half of the men's draw blew wide open, with Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev both losing to inspired performances from Holger Rune and Marin Cilic. Is that the best Cilic has played since the 2014 US Open? How did Tsitsipas assess the match in his press conference? And who is favourite to come through the bottom half?
