Podcast appearances and mentions of Naomi Osaka

Jon Wertheim is here on Quick Served with a Day 7 recap. Jon goes into the notable matches from yesterday including Zverev's loss to FAA, Jannik Sinner's (relatively) rocky match against Dennis Shapovalov, Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka finding their form set to battle each other in the next round. All of these stories and more in today's recap ! Stay tuned for tomorrow's Quick Served! COMMENT BELOW Who's going to win the Osaka vs Gauff match? What did you think of Jannik Sinner's match yesterday?

It's a whistlestop episode for Ben and Tumaini, who had a train to catch late Friday night at the U.S. Open. We have a lot to catch up on, including the firestorm created by the Townsend-Ostapenko match and why that hit such a cultural nerve, the bizarre mess of a scene at Iga Swiatek's press conference (which the USTA deleted from the record), Altmaier's avoidance of Tsitsipas' drama, chatter around Carlos Alcaraz's hair, Coco Gauff's struggles, Naomi Osaka sparkling, Ben Shelton and Jack Draper's injuries, the visibility of gambling on site, and a bit more. Thank you for listening! 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. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Tumaini's work at The Guardian! 

Part one - Women's results. Once again, Coco Gauff was the big story as she fought through tears and tremors to beat Donna Vekic. We cover the performance, the press conference and Gauff's prospects in this tournament. Elsewhere, there's chat about Iga Swiatek dropping a set, Catherine reports on a quite extraordinary win for Karolina Muchova, David has all the analysis of another Naomi Osaka victory, and Matt reacts live to Amanda Anisimova's win. Part two - Men's results (37:59). We discuss the way Jannik Sinner shut down the threat of Alexei Popyrin, how Lorenzo Musetti and Flavio Cobolli set up an enticing third round clash, and five set defeats for Karen Khachanov and Stefanos Tsitsipas. Part three - Day 6 order of play (59:05).Tickets are now on General Sale for The Tennis Podcast - Live in Wrexham on Wednesday October 22nd!

Part one - Women's Results. There's only one place to start and that's with Coco Gauff's enthralling win over Ajla Tomljanovic. How did Gauff serve and play generally? What can we read into the sadness of her post match interview? And what could this match mean for the rest of the tournament? Plus, David watched Naomi Osaka win to set up a mouthwatering clash with Hailey Baptiste, Matt reports on Amanda Anisimova, and Iga Swiatek reacted to the news of Taylor Swift's engagement. Part two - Men's Results (35:11). We cover Jannik Sinner's demolition of Vit Kopriva, a vital win for Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard's returning disaster class against Lorenzo Musetti.

Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard fell to 10th seed Lorenzo Musetti in four sets. GMP entered the US Open following a run to the semi-finals in Winston-Salem so the game is in a good place. Felix Auger-Aliassime saw off lucky loser Billy Harris in straight sets but the match had plenty of momentum swings. The 25th seed spoke about the tricky conditions and the role of the crowd. FAA will play Roman Safiullin next after the Russian beat fan favourite Gael Monfils in five epic sets on a packed Court 5. The night session was all about fashions and heart. Naomi Osaka, wearing an all red night fit, saw off Greet Minnen in straight sets, while Coco Gauff, who was also donning red, eventually got past Ajla Tomljanovic in a topsy turvy three-setter.

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by Charlie Eccleshare from The Athletic ahead of the first Sunday start at the US Open. Part one - Press conferences. We cover the news that Novak Djokovic might be about to work with Monica Seles, good vibes from both Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek, how Amanda Anisimova is processing the Wimbledon final experience, some concern over Jack Draper's fitness, and a fascinating chat with Naomi Osaka as she reflected on what happened in Montreal and her new partnership with Tomasz Wiktorowski. Part two - Tournament predictions (47:22). Charlie gives his winners and finalists, we pick out some potential surprise packages, and there's a look at which top seeds could be vulnerable.

Catherine, David and Matt are together at Flushing Meadows to dissect the US Open draws and analyse what's been said on media day. Part one - Women's draw. We cover why we think this draw is good news for Iga Swiatek, the potential for Elena Rybakina to be a problem for Aryna Sabalenka, and why Victoria Mboko could come through a wide open section. There's also chat about Coco Gauff hiring bio mechanist Gavin MacMillan to help her serve and David explains why he's feeling bullish about Naomi Osaka's chances. Part two - Men's draw (38:16). The big question from the men's draw is whether anyone can stop Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. We analyse their draws and consider the paths of Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton and Alexander Zverev. Part three - Qualifying (1:06:16). We talk about Dino Prizmic and Fran Jones making their way through qualifying and into the main draw.

Caitlin Clark remains on the Fever sideline and hasn't spoken to the media in a month, and Angel Reese became emotional when reflecting on what she learned about herself during her time away from the court. On this episode of “Fearless,” Jason Whitlock examines the mental health issues the WNBA is foisting on its star players, explaining that because sexual identity is such a priority in American culture, the hostility toward these straight players is purposeful. The WNBA, Whitlock illustrates, is not a sports league, but a political movement that would rather have Paige Bueckers, a lesbian, as its representative, than Caitlin Clark. Whitlock reviews other female athletes, including Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka, and Ronda Rousey, who were broken by the pressures of professional sports.

Tennis commentator Jason Goodall joins the podcast to discuss all the action from the North American Hard Court Swing, fresh off the heels of Victoria Mboko and Ben Shelton winning their first Masters 1000 Titles in Canada. Goodall recaps how the teenager Mboko was able to go all the way on home soil, and looks at where finalist Naomi Osaka heads from here. The broadcaster also dives into Ben Shelton's breakthrough and consistency, and highlights the areas in which the American has made the biggest strides with his game. Goodall turns his attention to Cincinnati, where he's on site calling matches at the new and massively upgraded venue in Mason, Ohio. The commentator discusses the returns of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz and the differences they possess in their elite skillsets, as well as what to expect from WTA World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka after some time off. And Goodall dives into several of the game's top storylines such as Novak Djokovic's lack of match preparation, Daniil Medvedev's struggles, and the competitive drive that Coco Gauff takes with her to the match courts. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Catherine, David and Matt were live on Friday night to look back on the dramatic final few days in Canada and ahead to Cincinnati. Part one - WTA Montreal. Rarely have we felt such conflicting emotions watching a tennis match as we did during Victoria Mboko's victory over Naomi Osaka. For Mboko, what made this run so special? And what does this title mean for her future? But what happened to Osaka? How much criticism should she get for her post match speech? And where does this tournament leave her? Part two - ATP Toronto (43m20s). Ben Shelton won his first Masters 1000 title. What developments did we see in his game this week? What gave him the edge over Karen Khachanov in the final? And what's his US Open Mix status? Part three - Coaching news and Cincinnati preview (66m57s). We cover Emma Raducanu's decision to work with Francisco Roig, Holger Rune hiring Marco Panichi, Aryna Sabalenka adding Max Mirnyi as a consultant, and the breaking news that Stefano Vukov has had his WTA Tour suspension lifted.

In another celebratory pod, Lucy and Eugene bask in the glory that went down at the Canadian Open where there was success on both the singles and doubles courts. Victoria Mboko, the 18-year-old Canadian wildcard, completed a fairytale run at her home WTA 1000 going all the way to the final in Montreal and winning the title. The new world No 24 took out Sofia Kenin, Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina before beating four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka in the final. Osaka also played some good ball during her run to the final. The former world No 1, who returns to the top 30, saw off numerous seeds en route to the championship match that was somewhat overshadowed by events post-match. We share our thoughts. Staying in Montreal, Coco Gauff and McCartney Kessler won the doubles title. The American duo, who were linking up for the first time, beat Washington Open champions Taylor Townsend and Shuai Zhang in a thrilling final. Over in The Six (Toronto), Ben Shelton, the new world No 6, handled business. Shelton, a Masters 1000 champion for the first time, came back from a set down to beat 11th seed Karen Khachanov in the final. The 22-year-old American took out world No 4 Taylor Fritz and world No 8 Alex de Minaur en route. To close, we talk Cincinnati Open which began on Canadian Open finals day. “We love this game!

David is back from holiday to join Catherine and Matt in discussing week one of the Canadian Open, where lots of the big names are out, there has been loads of good matches, and both draws feel pretty open heading into the final few days. Part one - WTA Montreal. We cover Victoria Mboko's special run to the quarter-finals, Coco Gauff's recurring double fault issues, Naomi Osaka's resurgence under new coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, compelling matches involving Madison Keys, Elena Rybakina and Marta Kostyuk, the unorthodox game of Aoi Ito, and the decision to give Eugenie Bouchard a wildcard so she could retire. Part two - ATP Toronto (from 49m). How much meaning can we take from a tournament without Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic? That's the task when assessing the men's event, which has seen Alexei Popyrin mount an impressive title defence so far, Daniil Medvedev continue to slump, and compelling final set tiebreak wins for Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton. There was also a strange complaint from Alejandro Davidovich Fokina leading to sweet spot social media aggro involving Dan Evans. Part three - US Open news (from 70m15s). With most of the US Open mixed doubles pairings having been announced, we quiz David on his views, and he throws a fun name into the ring for one of the remaining wildcards.

Former pro and current commentator Vicky Duval joins the podcast for a lengthy chat about the Canadian Open, where local prodigy Victoria Mboko is arriving on the big-time after a win over Coco Gauff. Duval discusses Mboko's impressive game, and dives into Clara Tauson's performance in an upset victory over Iga Swiatek. The broadcaster also weighs in on Madison Keys' fighting spirit, Elina Svitolina's renewed confidence, and Naomi Osaka's momentum in Canada after making a coaching switch. In the men's event, Duval dives into Taylor Fritz competitive drive after he advanced in a grueling three-set match with Jiri Lehecka. The former WTA pro also analyzes Ben Shelton's powerhouse style of play, Alex De Minaur's mobility, and whether top-seed Alexander Zverev or rising American Alex Michelsen can go the distance in Toronto. And Duval discusses her own tennis career, and the path that led her to the broadcast booth at Tennis Channel. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Quarterfinals are locked in at the Canada Open—and while star power may be light, the drama and surprises are anything but. With standout performances lighting up both Toronto and Montreal, Joel, Kim, and Chris return to Tennis Weekly HQ to unpack all the action as the US Open draws nearer.This week, they discuss the long-awaited WTA emergence of Victoria Mboko, following her impressive ITF blitz at the start of the season. Meanwhile, Coco Gauff—still top seed—continues to struggle with her serving scaries in singles, though her doubles form remains strong. Why the disconnect? The team weighs in. Naomi Osaka also headlines after bouncing back from a disappointing DC stint with a new coach and fresh confidence, powering into the quarterfinals. What's driving her post-Mouratoglou resurgence?Over on the men's side, tensions flared between Ben Shelton and Flavio Cobolli (though we're not really sure why?), and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina sparked debate after complaining about an early wake-up—much to Dan Evans' irritation. Was he out of line, or does he have a point?Plus, the team looks ahead to the US Open and the surprising announcement of a new tennis-themed dating show, Game Set Matchmaker—which Kim suspected might be a late April Fools' joke. They also debate who deserves the final two wildcard slots at the inaugural Mixed Doubles event—and whether real-life couples like De Minaur/Boulter and Monfils/Svitolina (aka GEMS Life) should get the nod.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.

Send us a textThe pendulum swings wildly from political upheaval to celebrity downfalls in this packed episode examining how power, race, and identity shape our experiences in an increasingly chaotic world.Jeremy Corbyn's dramatic political resurrection with his new "Your Party" has sparked hope for those disillusioned with mainstream UK politics, gaining 200,000 members overnight and highlighting the desperate need for genuine representation. Meanwhile, the shocking ethnicity pay gap statistics revealed by Dawn Butler MP (23.8% less for minorities in London) expose the hollow promises of workplace equality without accountability.The stark contrast between Rachel Reeves' tearful parliamentary moment and Diane Abbott's relentless scrutiny perfectly illustrates the unspoken rules of emotional expression for Black women in public life. We're permitted no vulnerability, no softness – a reality that extends from Parliament to corporate boardrooms, where "jokes" at our expense are weapons disguised as humor.Sean Combs conviction serves as a sobering reminder of how power corrupts and silences victims, while Marcus Fakana's imprisonment in Dubai shows how quickly young Black lives can be destroyed when race, culture, and vindictiveness collide. These stories aren't isolated incidents but threads in the same tapestry of inequality.The episode concludes by examining how even financial success comes with hidden penalties through the "HENRY" phenomenon – where high earners face diminishing returns through aggressive taxation without corresponding benefits. It all points to a system designed to maintain imbalance rather than create true opportunity.Ralph Lauren - Oak Bluffshttps://youtu.be/UOT8CUBpERE?si=v-k98k9oNBSHqWGrReferenced Diane Abbott Interviewhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMuBazWdE1ICandace Owenhttps://www.youtube.com/live/FDOnxpViQxY?si=7OhdCqQKbLigratghttps://www.youtube.com/live/PKKLk57tcLs?si=FzAcSzmotlK-ZPKGSponsorships - Email me: hello@toyatalks.com Cc: toyawashington10@gmail.comTikTok: toya_washington Twitter: @toya_w (#ToyaTalksPodcast) Snapchat: @toyawashington Instagram: @toya_washington & @toya_talks www.toyatalks.comhttps://toyatalks.com/Music (Intro and Outro) Written and created by Nomadic Star

Dr Boyce explains why single mothers often break down psychologically.

Pivot Family — you asked, and here we are. Your favorite trio is back: Ryan Clark, Fred Taylor, and Channing Crowder reunite to break down the real stories behind this summer's hottest headlines. From sports and culture to relationships and personal growth, the guys tackle life's toughest pivots—and how one decision can change everything. As always, it's raw, honest, and layered with perspective—locker room wisdom served with laughs, truth, pain, and growth. Lists and rankings are just opinions, and you know what the people say about opinions, so this week, the crew reminds us why impact over income is often the better path. They dive into the cost of fame and the price of trusting the wrong people—like Rams star Puka Nacua's public relationship fallout, and how young athletes with good hearts often get burned. Tyler Lockett's story of remaining a virgin until marriage at 30 opens up a powerful conversation on discipline, faith, identity, and resisting the pressure to perform—on and off the field. But you already know—Channing's take is going to have you in tears laughing, the things he comes up with is just one of a kind! When it comes to sports and culture no topic's off limits: Cam Newton's callout of Jayden Daniels—was it personal? RC says this was a moment Cam should have taken a chance to be wrong instead of go for the sophomore slump chatter. Gillie da Kid's “young bulls ain't taking my spot” energy—is that confidence or stuck in old ways? Asante Samuel coming for Chris Carter—what does it say about legends letting go or how OG's treat rising stars? Then things get a little more serious.... Naomi Osaka's emotional return to the spotlight sparks a vulnerable dialogue on mental health, pressure, and what it means when even greatness doesn't feel like enough. The guys speak openly about loss, injuries, failure, and the quiet battles no one sees. And finally, with Texas devastated by recent flooding, they reflect on how life can shift in an instant—regardless of status or success. Tragedy doesn't discriminate. And as always, The Pivot is about more than just moving on—it's about moving forward with intention, purpose, and gratitude. We hope this episode gives you something—a laugh, a new perspective, or the clarity you didn't know you needed, because that's what family is for! Learn more about your ad choices.
