Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit dem ersten Daily von den Australian Open 2022. Andreas und Philipp blicken auf die erste Runde in Melbourne zurück und konzentrieren sich dabei vornehmlich auf die Geschehnisse vom Dienstag. Hier konnte Andy Murray drei Jahre nach seiner Verabschiedung ein 5-Satz-Match gegen Nikoloz Basilashvili gewinnen. Während der Georgier wieder mit dem ein oder anderen spektakulären Winner auftrumpfen konnte, war Murray der solidere Spieler. Für Murray geht es nun gegen Taro Daniel, in der dritten Runde könnte Jannik Sinner warten. Auch bei Philipp Kohlschreiber wurde schon öfter von Abschied gesprochen. Doch der mittlerweile 38-Jährige konnte sich am Dienstag in drei Sätzen gegen Marco Checcinato durchsetzen. Allerdings geht es für Kohlschreiber nun gegen Roberto Bautista Agut. Aber wie Kohlschreiber in der Pressekonferenz in Melbourne verriet, hat er einen Plan für das Jahr 2022. Wenig Probleme hatte Daniil Medvedev. Die Nummer 2 der Weltrangliste trifft in seinem nächsten Match auf Nick Kyrgios. Schon ausgeschieden ist Ugo Humbert, der Medvedev in der dritten Runde hätte gefährlich werden können. Ganz klar ausgeschieden ist auch Jan-Lennard Struff, der sich seine Niederlage gegen Botic van de Zandschulp selber nicht so gant erklären konnte. Bei den Damen musste Angelique Kerber ihren Hut nehmen. Nach überstandener Covid19-Erkrankung fehlte der ehemaligen Australian Open Siegerin die Spritzigkeit, sie verlor in zwei Sätzen gegen Kaia Kanepi. Überstanden hat hingegen ihr Auftaktmatch die Nummer 2 der Setzliste, Aryna Sabalenka, und dass trotz anhaltender Probleme mit dem Aufschlag. Die US Open Siegerin Emma Raducanu konnte in drei Sätzen in die zweite Runde einziehen. Auch ansonsten hielten sich die Favoritinnen am Dienstag schadlos: Iga Swiatek, Garbine Mugurua und Simona Halep konnte alle in zwei Sätzen gewinnen. Für Kontaveit geht es nun gegen ein der besten Teeangerinnen der Welt: Clara Tauson. Muguruza trifft auf die französische Veteranin Alize Cornet.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit dem ausführlichen Blick auf das Turnier in Indian Wells. Wegen Corona vom Frühling auf den Herbst verschoben, produzierte das Turnier in der kalifornischen Wüste zwei überraschende Sieger/innen. Badosa siegt mit Physis Andreas und Philipp beginnen mit der Siegerin bei den Damen. Hier konnte Paula Badosa ihr sowieso schon erstaunliches Jahr vorerst vergolden. Durch ihren Sieg hat sie sogar eine gute Chance sich für das Jahresendturnier zu qualifizieren. Doch erst Mal steht der mit Abstand größte Titel ihrer Karriere in Indian Wells. Im Finale konnte sich Badosa gegen die zweimalige Indian Wells Siegerin Victoria Azarenka durchsetzen. Auch ins Halbfinale geschafft hatten es Jelena Ostapenko und Ons Jabeur. Die Tunesierin erreicht damit zum ersten Mal in ihrer Karriere die Top 10. Für Ostapenko war es eines der klassischen Ausreißerresultate, wie sie es mittlerweile ein paarmal im Jahr raushaut. Auch Angelique Kerber konnte überzeugen, verlor nur in einem knappen Viertelfinale gegen die spätere Siegerin Badosa. Norrie siegt mit Konstanz Bei den Herren gewann Cam Norrie den Titel. Auch der Brite erlebt in 2021 seinen Karrieredurchbruch. Er konnte sich im Endspiel gegen Nikoloz Basilashvili durchsetzen. Während Norries stete Art noch jeden Gegner am Wegesrand stehen ließ, konnte sich Basilashvili mit Powertennis ins Endspiel vorarbeiten. Eine weitere Überraschung war der Halbfinalist Taylor Fritz. Er konnte sich in einem engen Viertelfinale gegen Alexander Zverev durchsetzen. Der vierte Halbfinalist Grigor Dimitrov hatte auf dem Weg in die Vorschlussrunde sogar gegen Daniil Medvedev gewonnen. Dabei hatte er schon mit 6:4 4:1 gegen Dimitrov geführt bevor er dann doch noch in drei Sätzen verlor. Im News Segment sprechen Andreas und Philipp über die Ankündigung der ATP die Vorwürfe häuslicher Gewalt, die immer noch gegen Alexander Zverev im Raum stehen, zu untersuchen. Darüber hinaus gibt es Neuigkeiten zu den Australian Open und die Nominierungen für den Billie Jean King Cup (ehemals Fed Cup), dessen Finals bald anstehen.

Wimbledon is back! After a rain-interrupted first few hours, the day and tournament suddenly sprung to life as Jack Draper won the opening set against Novak Djokovic, Sloane Stephens and Frances Tiafoe upset Petra Kvitova and Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Andy Murray eventually and agonisingly got the better of Nikoloz Basilashvili.On the podcast, Catherine, David and Matt discuss all of those matches, reflect on what it was like to be on site as Wimbledon returned, and despair at a terrible day for predictions.The Tennis Podcast is presented by Catherine Whitaker and David Law, and features Matt Roberts.

South African Lloyd Harris has been knocked out of the Noventi Open after he lost to Nikoloz Basilashvili in straight sets.

Roger Federer returned to the ATP Tour in Doha last week with a couple of solid matches with room for improvement. Statman Pat and I talk about the Fed Express and how he looked after beating Dan Evans then going down to Nikoloz Basilashvili after having a match point. What will be next for Federer in his return to the ATP?

Le retour de Roger Federer a été au centre de toutes les attentions cette semaine. Le Suisse s'en est plutôt bien tiré. Certes il n'a franchi qu'un tour à Doha mais il a quand même rassuré lors de ses deux premiers match après plus de 400 jours d'absence. Il a d'ailleurs perdu contre le vainqueur inattendu de cet open du Qatar, Nikoloz Basilashvili. On parlera de cette résurrection du Géorgien et on entendra évidemment la satisfaction du Suisse après ce retour. Je vous détaillerai également ce qu'il s'est passé dans les autres tournois: à Marseille et au Chili chez les hommes. A Dubaï et au Mexique pour les filles.  Et puis, elle a fait sensation la semaine passée en rempotant à 18 ans son premier tournoi WTA, elle dispute cette semaine le tournoi de Saint-Petersbourg, Clara Tauson est une des révélations de ce début d'année. Elle est coachée par le Belge Olivier Jeunehomme, il est mon invité cette semaine. J'ai essayé d'en savoir plus sur l'ascension fulgurante de cette jeune femme et on a abordé plein d'autres thèmes également. Si seule son interview vous intéresse sans l'actu, rendez-vous à la 17ème minutes. 

So. Much. Tennis. If this isn't commitment, we don't know what is because we recap five tournaments in this episode AND preview four more. Before starting off with Tennis Talk, we have baby-talk because not one, but THREE pro tennis players becoming parents whether it be for the first or fourth time. On the WTA side this past week we had the 2021 success story, Garbine Muguruza, with a comeback season title in Dubai, as well as Sara Sorribes Tormo with a maiden title in Guadalajara. Again we discuss Doha's champion *sigh* Nikoloz Basilashvili without failing to mention his DV case and how it has been ignored by the mainstream tennis media this past year, especially some questionable coverage of his title run this week. And with that conversation comes the discussion of Doha's real champion, Roberto Bautista Agut, who bested Thiem AND Rublev to make the final. Then we have HOTYR-picked Marseille winner Daniil Medvedev who defeated a personal favorite of ours, man-bunned PHH in the finals. Finally, we discuss Cristian Garin's under-the-radar success in Chile and preview top seeds, Tiebreakers, and Champion Picks for this week's upcoming tourneys including Dubai (ATP), St. Petersburg, Monterrey, and Acapulco. We have more recap action coming up later this week, so until next time, hasta la vista, baby. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/holdontoyourracket/message

Muguruza’s Dubai title makes her computer ranking look even more outdated, Nikoloz Basilashvili and Cristian Garin reverse their losing streaks in style, and the ATP is putting an impressive amount of prize money in the pockets of its players.

Roger Federer returned to action after 405 days and two knee surgeries with a 3-set win over Dan Evans before a 3-set loss to Nikoloz Basilashvili in Doha. Catherine, David and Matt discuss how it felt to watch him play again, what we made of his two performances, whether we were surprised or in any way alarmed by how quickly he faded physically, and our immediate reaction to his decision to skip Dubai next week. Elsewhere, who has more potential out of Fritz and Shapovalov? How has Rublev reached the semi-finals in Doha without even playing a match? How good was Muguruza to beat Sabalenka for the second week running? And what happened to Pegula against Mertens?

Adiado devido à pandemia da Covid-19, o torneio de tênis de Roland Garros, previsto inicialmente para maio e junho, começou pra valer neste domingo (27), em meio à adaptações impostas diante da evolução da crise sanitária. O espanhol Rafael Nadal é, mais uma vez, o grande favorito, enquanto no feminino a disputa está em aberto. Ainda durante a semana, as novas medidas restritivas anunciadas pelo governo francês para conter o aumento do contágio no país atingiram também os eventos esportivos. Os organizadores tiveram que reduzir de 5 mil para mil o número máximo de pessoas no interior do complexo esportivo de Roland Garros. Guy Forget, diretor esportivo do torneio, lamentou a decisão das autoridades francesas, mas anunciou que os torcedores que adquiriram ingressos e não poderão assistir aos jogos serão reembolsados.  “É o mínimo a fazer, mesmo com um pouco de tristeza porque gostaríamos de acolher as cinco mil pessoas, como estava previsto e como acreditávamos. Lembro que este complexo é imenso, mas infelizmente eles não vamos poder vir e vamos nos organizar para reembolsá-los. O torneio será visto por milhões de telespectadores em todo o mundo e chegou a hora de jogar”, declarou. Um protocolo sanitário rígido foi estabelecido para atender às normas e exigências para proteger a saúde de atletas, treinadores, visitantes e de todos os envolvidos na realização do Grand Slam mais badalado do circuito. Testes regulares de Covid em atletas na chegada a Paris e durante o torneio,  distanciamento físico obrigatório, número reduzido de profissionais como jornalistas no complexo foram algumas medidas anunciadas para garantir a segurança. Mas nem todos se convenceram. A tenista australiana, Ashleigh Barty, vencedora do ano passado, desistiu de defender seu título por causa da pandemia.  Ela deixa o caminho aberto para as adversárias, como a romena Simona Halep, para voltar a erguer o troféu Suzanne Lenglen. Uma das favoritas este ano, Halep lamentou a ausência da atual numero 1 do ranking e disse que era preciso entender e respeitar a decisão de Ashleigh Barty. Antes de entrar em quadra neste domingo, e comemorar o aniversário de 29 anos, com vitória de 2 sets a 0 sobre a espanhola Sara Sorribes, a atual número 2 do ranking afirmou estar preparada para encarar seu torneio favorito.  “Estou confiante para encarar qualquer partida. Fiz uma boa preparação para este torneio em casa e joguei muito em piso de terra batido, por isso estou confiante. É um bom momento e quero aproveitá-lo“, declarou Halep.  Sem a presença também da japonesa Naomi Osaka, que se recupera de uma lesão na coxa, a disputa pelo título feminino está mais aberta este ano. No masculino, os grandes favoritos são bem conhecidos. Rafael Nadal em busca de nova consagração  O espanhol Rafael Nadal vai em busca de seu 13° titulo em Roland Garros e, caso triunfe mais uma vez, atingirá também a impressionante marca de 60 troféus de campeão em torneios no saibro, seu piso predileto. O espanhol pode ainda chegar ao seu 20° título de Grand Slam e igualar a marca do suíço Roger Federer, grande ausente desta edição por se recuperar de um problema no joelho.  Nadal terá um concorrente de peso, o sérvio Novak Djokovic, atual número 1 do mundo, que tenta ganhar pela segunda vez o troféu de Roland Garros.  Thiago Monteiro é a esperança do Brasil Único brasileiro no quadro principal do Grand Slam francês, Thiago Monteiro desembarcou na noite deste sábado (26) na capital francesa depois de uma final no torneio de Forlì, na Itália. Ele perdeu de 2 sets a 0 para o italiano Lorenzo Musetti, mas está confiante para a sua quinta participação em Roland Garros. “Venho de uma sequência de bons jogos. Vinha treinando muito bem, tive umas derrotas duras até esta semana, quando também tive jogos duros, mas consegui reverter situações adversas e voltei a ganhar”, disse o jogador, que não passou na primeira rodada nas duas ultima edições do torneio. Thiago Monteiro estreia contra o georgiano Nikoloz Basilashvili, cabeça-de-chave 31 do torneio e 33° do ranking, um adversário que vai enfrentar pela primeira vez. “Eu já treinei com ele várias vezes, é agressivo, tem golpes fortes, mas não está em um bom momento. Tenho que aproveitar essa fase dele que não é tão boa, mas é jogo de Grand Slam e tenho que estar bem competitivo e com boa cabeça, acreditar que é possível a vitória”, sublinhou, em entrevista à RFI .      O cearense comentou ainda que, diante de tantas mudanças, tem se adaptado a cada torneio. No caso de Roland Garros, que excepcionalmente este ano é disputado no outono, com temperaturas mais baixas, haverá impacto no seu estilo de jogo. “Tenho ouvido que está mais lento, por causa do frio e do outono. A bola é um pouco diferente, mas é aceitar as condições, se adaptar e tentar tirar o melhor proveito disso. O mais importante é competir com tudo. Acreditando sempre na vitória porque isso leva a jogar melhor”, conclui.  .    

World Number 27 Nikoloz Basilashvili has been arrested for physical assault against his ex wife. He was released on bail and if found guilty could face up to 3 years in prison. Youtube Channel : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCObs7FwjNmLB3u5fcHiLCWA/

Richtig schlechte Laune in der #mspWG. Das muss man aber nach so vielen Wochen der guten Laune auch mal haben dürfen. Andreas und Tobi beackern heute die ganz tollen Themen. Nicht. Natürlich geht es um die Menschen auf der anderen Seite des großen Teichs. Aber nicht nur. Auch in Georgien finden nicht nur gute Dinge statt. Fußball gestern war auch doof. Tobi ruft die Corona-Meisterschaft wieder zurück. Nur ein 1:1 zu Hause gegen Karlsruhe reicht für Hannover 96 natürlich nicht. Von 24 Punkte braucht Hannover mindestens 21 Punkte um noch ganz oben angreifen zu können. Dummerweise hat man jetzt schon zwei Punkte liegen gelassen. Und das war teilweise sogar noch glücklich. Niemand hätte sich beschweren dürfen, wenn der KSC in Hannover gewonnen hätte. Andreas hingegen ist bereits bei der Aufnahme also locker 9 Stunden vor Anpfiff bereits ein kleines Nervenbündel. Sein Hamburger Sportverein steht vor einem sehr wichtigen Spiel und Andreas überlegt sich schon mal die Route durch den Stadtteil. Also den in München.

Tennis steht still dieser Tage. Das ist keine Neuigkeit und doch müssen Spielerinnen, Spieler, Offizielle und Turnierdirektoren damit umgehen. In der neuen Ausgabe der #ChallengerCorner haben sich Andreas Thies von Chip & Charge und Florian Heer von unserem Kooperationspartner tennis-tourtalk.com des Themas der Challenger-Turniere angenommen. Welche Herausforderungen haben die Turniere bei ihrer Planung? Worauf müssen sie Rücksicht nehmen, was gibt es noch an Potential, vielleicht auf einen anderen Termin zu wechseln. Florian und Andreas haben Metehan Cebeci zu Gast, den Turnierdirektor des Neckarcup in Heilbronn. Cebeci ist nicht nur Turnierdirektor, sondern auch Inhaber der Tennisschule gleichen Namens und eines Tennisshops. Er hat direkt mit den Auswirkungen der Corona-Krise zu kämpfen. Nicht nur wegen der Schule und des Ladengeschäfts, sondern auch wegen des Challengers, das Mitte Mai, zwei Wochen vor den French Open hätte stattfinden sollen. Das Turnier ist gespickt mit Weltklassesiegern in seinen bisherigen sechs Ausgaben. Jan-Lennard Struff und Nikoloz Basilashvili gehörten wie Alexander Zverev 2015 schon zu den Siegern bei diesem Turnier. Auch Kevin Krawietz und Andreas Mies hatten dieses Turnier schon erfolgreich bestritten. 2019 gewannen sie die Doppel-Konkurrenz. Cebeci spricht darüber, dass die Vorbereitungen schon fast abgeschlossen sind und dass er derzeit auf der Suche nach einem Ersatztermin für sein Turnier ist.

As the regular ATP Tour season kicks back into action in Argentina, France and Bulgaria we spend time with some of the game's brightest stars. First we hear from three players in Sofia who, between them, climbed an incredible 164 places in the ATP Rankings in 2018. ATP Tour Uncovered's Gabriel Clarke spoke with Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili, young Russian Daniil Medvedev and first the biggest thing to come out of Greece for quite some time, Stefanos Tsitsipas. And while those three have been in action in Bulgaria's capital Sofia, on the south coast of France in Montpellier 19-year-old Denis Shapovalov has been one of the star attractions. In the off-season ATP Uncovered spent some time with the young Canadian and his new coach, Rob Steckley, ahead of their assault on 2019. Finally this week to Argentina and the third of the ATP 250s reaching a climax in Cordoba. Number 5 seed Nicolas Jarry fell in the first round, but the 23-year-old Chilean enjoyed a strong South American swing this time last year, off the back of a challenger win on home soil. There are three more ATP Tour events next week with 250s in New York and Buenos Aires and the first 500 of the year in Rotterdam – as ever we'll have live commentary of Sunday's Rotterdam Final on ATP Tennis Radio - please join us for that via the TuneIn Radio app or ATPTour.com - and if you can't join us live, listen to next week's ATP Tennis Radio Podcast as we'll round up all the action look ahead to Rio and other key events in February.

We continue our look-back on the story of 2018 with some of our favourite interviews from the year. Picking up the story in Toronto, the sixth ATP masters 1000 of the year but of course there'd been a lot of water under the bridge since Rome – Rafael Nadal winning his 11th French Open and Novak Djokovic confirming that he was well and truly back by taking his fourth Wimbledon and after that Djokovic started as the favourite in Toronto but came up against a red-hot young Greek, Stefanos Tsitsipas who beat him in three sets and afterwards Jill Craybas spoke with his coach and father Apostolos. Onto Cincinnati where all the talk was about Novak Djokovic and a career golden masters and shortly after the Serb clinched victory, he spoke with Paul King. And the plaudits would keep coming for Djokovic after he followed up that success with his third US Open triumph to tie the great Pete Sampras on 14 career grand slams. He would march onto the penultimate ATP Masters 1000 of the year in Shanghai. And it was in China that Lee Goodall went off the beaten track to find out a little more about one of the year's biggest climbers, Georgia's Nikoloz Basilashvili, who had just won his second title of the year in Beijing, which was also just the second of his career. One reason behind that improvement is coach Jan de Witt, formerly with Frenchman Gilles Simon and now enjoying working with the only Georgian at the top of the game. Having beaten Denis Shapovalov, Basilashvili would lose to Shanghai semi finalist Sascha Zverev .. but in the end everyone would bow to Djokovic who beat Borna Coric in the final.. and so we arrived in Paris for the final masters of the year with Djokovic eying the world number 1 ranking. But trumping even that in the headlines was big news in the Grigor Dimitrov camp. Andre Agassi, formerly with Novak of course, was back, this time alongside the struggling Dimitrov and his coach Dani Vallverdu kindly took time out to Seb Lauzier. And if achieving potential is the benchmark for success, one man well ahead of the curve so far is 19-year-old Australian Alex de Minaur. Newcomer of the year in the ATP Awards, he also finished runner-up in the Next Gen finals and closer to home became the Australian number 1 – which is what he was mainly reflecting on when he spoke with Lee Goodall. And from one young man, we finish this week with another… Sascha Zverev's year would finish in the best possible way, achieving the unthinkable for many in beating Novak Djokovic to win his first Nitto ATP Finals.. shortly we'll hear the reaction we got straight afterwards from close friend Marcelo Melo and fitness coach Jez Green.

Inspired by a certain Tennis Podcast presenter’s loss from match point up, David and Catherine begin this week’s show by discussing the phenomenon of ‘choking’ in sport. What causes it? And what’s the biggest choke in tennis history?In Beijing this week, Kyle Edmund didn’t choke, but he did miss a big opportunity to win his first ATP title. How important is it that he overcomes this hurdle sooner rather than later?Two men who have got the title-winning bug, however, are Daniil Medvedev and Nikoloz Basilashvili. David and Catherine hail their respective victories in Tokyo and Beijing, as well as their rise up the rankings in 2018. Why do their efforts seem to slip under the radar compared to those of Shapovalov and Tsitsipas?Caroline Wozniacki, meanwhile, won her first Premier Mandatory title since 2011, doing so without dropping a single set in Beijing. After a few months of injury and poor form, where did this flawless week come from?There’s also time to salute Kevin Anderson’s good nature, debate the different merits of one-handed and two-handed backhands, and discuss the excellent news that Britain will be hosting a Fed Cup tie for the first time since 1993.Catherine ends the show with two bits of advice: 1) Check out Jo Konta’s cute new dog. 2) Consider checking in to Agnieszka Radwanska’s tennis-themed hotel.The Tennis Podcast is uploaded weekly throughout the year and daily at the Grand Slam tournaments.
