Boris Becker is a former German tennis player, coach, and writer, regarded as one of the most charismatic legends of modern tennis. In 1985, at just 17 years old, he made history by becoming the youngest Wimbledon champion, a victory that propelled him to worldwide fame. Throughout his career, he won six Grand Slam titles, a Davis Cup, and an Olympic medal, standing out for his aggressive playing style, powerful volley, and unbreakable competitive spirit.   After retiring, Becker has remained closely connected to tennis as a coach—most notably guiding Novak Djokovic during one of the most successful periods of his career—and as a sports commentator. He has also explored a more personal and reflective side as the author of The Player, an autobiography in which he recounts his meteoric rise, his triumphs, his setbacks, and the lessons learned both on and off the court.

Anlatacağım kişi bir tenisçi. Novak Djokovic. Ama anlatacağım şey tenis değil.Bir motivasyon hikayesi.Hem de ne motivasyon. Dile kolay, tam 18 yıl boyunca bir gün bile kaytarmadan tek bir hedefe odaklanarak tüm rekorları paramparça etti.39 yaşında ama 33 yıldır aynı hedefin peşinde koşuyor.Ama nasıl?Motivasyonu neydi?

Frank convinced Eddie to start using a Whoop, but he's already planning to switch to an Apple Watch and find a new padel partner. Novak Djokovic came up short in the Australian Open Final against Carlos Alcaraz, but did he do enough to prove that he can still compete with the 'Big Two'? Tom Brady has started posting on Instagram like a teenage girl, and Eddie finds it eerily reminiscent of some old pictures of Frank. And Eddie is frustrated by the college football transfer portal, senior leadership at Blackburn Rovers, the Epstein List, and the lack of concern over ties between the Memphis Grizzlies' owner and Russia. 

La mañana en CADENA 100 comienza con música de Ramazzotti y Carlos Santana. Se celebra la victoria de Carlos Alcaraz en el Open de Australia, quien, con 22 años, iguala a Rafa Nadal y se convierte en el tenista más joven en ganar los cuatro grandes. En '¡Buenos días, Javi y Mar!', Ximeno presenta los Jeroglíficos Auditivos sobre tenis, donde se habla del juez de silla. El programa debate la vestimenta en los Grammy, mencionando a Heidi Klum y Justin Bieber, y la importancia de la elegancia. Se juzga el caso de Laura, quien no recogió a sus suegros del aeropuerto. También se juega a elegir artistas para un cumpleaños, como Bad Bunny, Lady Gaga y Prince. Suenan canciones de Taylor Swift, Amy Winehouse, la versión de Maníaca de Abraham Mateo y Kelly Clarkson. Se destaca la deportividad de Novak Djokovic al felicitar a Rafa Nadal en la final del Abierto de Australia. El programa invita a escuchar más contenido en podcast.

President Trump says the Iranians are talking "seriously" with the United States about curbs on their nuclear programme. Iran's supreme leader warns if America attacks, there'll be regional war.We'll be asking where concessions might be made to prevent a military confrontation.Also in the programme: A second woman says she was trafficked to the UK by Jeffrey Epstein for sex with the former prince, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor; a new exhibition explores the legacy of Japan's Samurai warriors; and Carlos Alcaraz triumphs over Novak Djokovic to become the youngest man to win a career Grand Slam in tennis.(Photo shows Donald Trump speaking after disembarking from Air Force One in West Palm Beach, Florida, U.S., January 31, 2026.

There was going to be history on Sunday no matter what, and Ben and Tumaini end their Australian Open coverage with discussion of Carlos Alcaraz's big win over Novak Djokovic, coming back from a slow start to clinch his career slam by winning the Australian Open, his seventh major title overall. We discuss Alcaraz's present and his ambitions for all-time greatness, where this event leaves his rivalry with Sinner, the future for Djokovic, the significance of a post-Ferrero win. We also, as we planned, use our last show of the tournament to look back at one of the early storylines: American players getting questions about U.S. politics in press conferences, and why we think this is a completely fair and rational thing to have happen.

Andy Roddick and Producer Mike break down results from the men's final between Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic in the 2026 Australian Open Men's Final. They discuss the weight of history and how this frames Carlos' achievement as historic. They also talk about how Novak's longevity is not only impressive because he's still playing, but because he is still playing at the highest level possible.  COMMENT BELOW: Let us know your thoughts on the Men's Final below!

Eddie has started playing padel, and Frank is settling in nicely to the Minnesota hockey lifestyle. Novak Djokovic is reminding the tennis world that he's still a force to be reckoned with, but has he always been chasing a big two? And Bill Belichick didn't make it into the Pro Football Hall of Fame at the first time of asking, but were his controversies with the New England Patriots enough to deny him being a first ballot HOFer?  And has the Champions League become too convoluted for its own good? Eddie thinks not and believes that the new format may be optimized for gambling, but not for actual football fans. 

At the end of women's final night, Catherine, David and Matt discuss Elena Rybakina's 6-4 4-6 6-4 win over Aryna Sabalenka as she became a two-time major champion. Part one - All the talking points from the women's final including Rybakina's incredible start and finish, how Sabalenka lost her 3-0 lead in the decider, whether or not Sabalenka has a Grand Slam finals problem, the optics of Stefano Vukov receiving a trophy, and what this win could mean for Rybakina's career. Part two (39:59) - A round up of all the doubles and wheelchair results, including an emotional Niels Vink completing the career Grand Slam, and our in-person Tokito Oda experience.

After a dozen days that were mostly dull, the Australian Open kicked into high gear on Day 13, and so Ben and Tumaini stayed up late to discuss what made it so great. Carlos Alcaraz was up big, then was in trouble, then was up against the wall, but finally eked out a rousing win over Alexander Zverev to book his spot in his first Australian Open final.  But instead of being joined by his customary opponent Jannik Sinner for the fourth time in a row in a major final, Alcaraz will face 38-year-old Novak Djokovic, who used his restedness to deliver a redline beauty of a match. We look ahead to the final and how Djokovic might be able to win it, where these losses leave both Zverev and Sinner, and more.

Charles Davis joins live from the Senior Bowl to break down the week's top NFL Draft storylines, offering high praise for Miami offensive lineman Markel Bell and discussing how teams are evaluating this year's quarterback class. The conversation then shifts to Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame snub, with Joe admitting he initially thought the news was a joke as voters face mounting backlash. The crew debates whether Belichick's past cheating scandals should permanently affect his candidacy and compares the situation to steroid-era players being kept out of Cooperstown. Hollywood's Headlines wrap the hour with ESPN promoting the WWE Royal Rumble, a new 30 for 30 on the “Philly Special,” and Novak Djokovic's historic racket heading to auction.

The US Department of Justice has released more than three million new documents relating to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Podcasting from deep within the bowels of Tennis HQ, Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) and Sam (@samtaunton) - resplendent in their finery - talk absolute garbage about the epic event that is, the Australian Open. It's funny garbage, though. The lads analyse Sabalenka and Svitolina's non-handshake, the GruntGate controversy, and make a bold prediction about the amount of foot blisters Novak Djokovic will end up with. Oh, and Sam delivers a rousing message to the remaining Aussies in the draw that will bring a tear to your beady little eyes. I cried. I'm not too proud to admit it. Also, I guess I'm emotional because I miss my family. They have us working crazy hours here and, TBH, I'm reaching my upper limit. I mean, I'm resilient, normally... but this tournament requires a gargantuan effort and... ah look, this is probably not the forum. Anyway, come get an insight into Aryna Sabalenka's inner sanctum as we talk to her strength and conditioning coach, Jason Stacy!

Patrick Mouratoglou is one of the most influential coaches in modern sport, renowned for developing champions through mindset rather than raw talent. Best known for his long partnership with Serena Williams, Patrick believes greatness is never about gifts, it's about mentality, discipline, and professionalism.In this episode, Patrick joins Jake and Damian to unpack his core philosophy that champions are built, not born. He explains why Novak Djokovic became the greatest of all time without Federer's natural genius or Nadal's physical dominance, and shares the extraordinary story of Serena Williams winning the 2015 French Open while battling a 40-degree fever, bedridden between matches, yet mentally unbreakable on court.From the famous cap-hitting moment that established respect with Serena on day one to calling a 13-time Grand Slam champion an “underachiever,” this conversation is a powerful insight into elite performance, leadership, and human potential, and a blueprint for anyone serious about building a champion's mindset.Our partners:Heights
