Podcasts about professional tennis

Summer means different things to us all, but if you love a game of tennis then summer sure delivers. And sometimes it gives us more than just a hard-fought match – it can also serve up a conversation starter as to how we should behave, as both players and the crowd. The wind and rain made things challenging for the ASB Classic organisers in Auckland. Regardless, it was a great tournament with sold out crowds and some excellent tennis. I've only just started to watch tennis live over the last few years, and it's become a summer must do. It's a great sport to watch live, especially at the Manuka Doctor Stadium in Stanley St, because it's such an intimate setting. We're so well behaved here in NZ – it takes no prompts for the crowd to go quiet, and it can be a relief when a fan finally gets the courage to yell some encouragement between points. Getting hooked on the ASB Classic is the perfect lead into the Australian Open. A few hours each evening have drifted away while I've been watching on the telly, but with over 90,000 people heading into the Arena on some days, their behaviour can be a little rowdier than here in NZ. A lot has been made of US player Danielle Collins' behaviour towards a hostile crowd a day or so ago, but really all she did was meet them halfway. Playing local favourite Destanee Aiava, the crowd was very obviously behind the Aussie, and this led to combative scenes between the crowd and Collins. Collins made the comment post-match that she thought there were quite a lot of “super drunk” people who had a hard time controlling themselves; but admitted she loved the energy, regardless of which side the crowd are on. During the match Danielle used that energy as motivation and wasn't afraid to bite back, blowing sarcastic kisses and making a pretty brash speech at the completion of her win which was the equivalent to giving the middle finger. Was it classy? No. Was it the way you would like your child to behave? No. But do you blame her? No. It's not fair to just criticize the player's behaviour when she's only matching the crowds. How much abuse would you put up with in the workplace? Sure, heckling is part of sport, but it works best when delivered with good humour or a light touch, not nastiness. If you're doing all the work and others are firing abuse at you from the sideline, is it really any different to the abhorrent behaviour of online trolls? Good on her for being herself and not taking any, you know, crap. Collins has made herself the villain of the tournament. I doubt she cares. You wouldn't get this from a young player establishing themselves on the circuit, but maybe Collins, who's coming to the end of her career, is doing them a favour by challenging the crowd's behaviour. It wouldn't happen here – we're more passive and a little less exciting, but there's nothing wrong with being respectful. I'd much prefer that's the lesson we're passing on to younger generations.

"For me personally, I think I needed that. It built this dog within me...For me growing up, there was no plan B...There was no 'what if.'" Frances Tiafoe Proffeesional Tennis Player Captivating the world with his undeniable talent, charismatic ways and his unique energy on and off the court, Frances Tiafoe shares his journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the most recognizable faces in tennis today. On this episode of The Pivot Podcast, Ryan, Fred, and Channing chop it up with Tiafoe about how it all started and how life has totally changed for him since winning more which has led to his ever-growing fame. The guys talk all things tennis with Frances, explaining how training works, the mindset necessary and how the current landscape is the perfect opportunity for Frances to rise in sports. Elevating the attention of tennis over the past couple years, Frances' matches have become a magnet of entertainment and unwavering outpour of support, from receiving daily texts of A-list athletes to getting private invites to hang with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce to defeating the sport's megastars on global stage has shaped Tiafoe's path in ways he never thought possible. Despite the star-studded encounters, Frances keeps it real, always remembering his roots and the community that's had his back from the start. He's focused on the bigger picture—winning key matches, staying true to himself and pouring into the people and things he loves. With a chance to rewrite history books. Frances opens up about how Venus and Serena Williams have been huge influences on his game, not just as players but as role models. He shares how the pressure to succeed is heavy but carrying that weight has led him to have unimaginable highs such as defeating Rafeal Nadal and going toe to toe with the best players in the world. Never shying away from competition, Frances explains how losing his cool in the heat of the moment or seeming unfocused stems from the passion he has for tennis, not a lack of respect or arrogance toward the sport itself. Looking back at one memorable match that stands out to us all, Frances reflects on how it felt like he was being made an example of and he felt he had no choice but to stand up for himself. He admits to the guys it wasn't his best moment, but it was a learning experience and something he's grown from. While he tries to keep things light and avoid getting too wrapped up in the intensity, he admits it's not always easy. The competitiveness in tennis can make it tough to have authentic relationships, but Frances is committed to staying true to himself and loyal to his day one support system.

In this episode, we talk with Tim Smyczek about his experience as a professional tennis player. He played professionally for many years, even in the US and Australian Opens. Tim is known to many when he played in the 2015 Australian Open against Rafael Nadel. In this match, Tim did the “unthinkable” in the tennis world. Tim is very humble when talking about the years he played professional tennis. He retired from tennis in 2019 and is now a devoted family man and is currently working in real estate and private equity. Tim was exposed to Opus Dei (Latin for the “Work of God”) early in his life. He carried this religious practice with him in his tennis life. Opus Dei continues to be a very important way of life and organization for his family (Tim refers to Opus Dei as the Center of Work). Tim is dedicated to the teachings and practices of the founder of Opus Dei, Saint Josemaría Escrivá. Tim talks about one of the “Pillars” of Opus Dei that is important to him: spend time with men who are better than you. For information, follow this link: Opus Dei - Finding God in daily life

John Butler has delivered unparalleled ROI for fans, sponsors, civic partners and the game of tennis via creative and interactive physical programming on-site, on-the-town and in communications to fans and brands around the world. From grassroots ATP Challenger Tour events to top-level ATP Tour spectacles like the Delray Beach Open which John ran for more than three decades, to the charm of ATP Champions Tour legends matches, John has continually innovated to cross market and grow the game's appeal. In this episode, John talks with Peter and me about the state of tennis and the solution he drafted and shared with leaders from the ATP, Tennis Australia and WTA.

In 2021, the International Tennis Hall of Fame inducted its first group of contributors simultaneously: the Original 9. Together in 1970, these nine women broke from the established tennis landscape to sign $1 contracts with promoter Gladys Heldman, creating the first women's tennis tour. The early years of professional women's tennis were challenging, defiant and ultimately, hugely successful in creating equity and a platform for women in sports.Two members of the Original 9, Rosie Casals and Judy Tegart Dalton, along with fellow Hall of Famer Ann Jones, discuss those early years. With Blair Henley, Casals and Dalton share why they risked their careers to break the status quo and why timing in the 1970s was key to gaining momentum. They share memories of playing with and against each other, and the lesser-known hard work behind the scenes of growing women's tennis.Later in the episode, Jones tells Chris Bowers how the camaraderie between the women's players fueled progress in the early years of the Virginia Slims tour. Jones shares how solidarity between the players, regardless of nationality, helped foster a key sense of purpose in making tennis a sustainable career.

Corina Morariu McKee is a former professional tennis player, cancer survivor, and author. She is also Kate's neighbor.

In 2000 she became world No. 1 in doubles and won the 2000 Wimbledon double title with Lindsay Davenport. In 2001, after reaching the singles quarterfinals, the women's doubles final, and earning her second Grand Slam doubles title at the Australian Open, she was diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia and withdrew from the tour for the rest of the season. Following chemotherapy in 2002 she returned to competition in doubles and received the WTA's first "Corina Comeback Award," presented by Jennifer Capriati. She spent the 2005 season playing exclusively in doubles, highlighted by reaching her third Grand Slam final at the Australian Open, her first major doubles final in four years. Corina retired from the tour in 2007. She is an International Sports Ambassador for The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, and the author of a memoir titled: Living Through the Racket: How I Survived Leukemia...and Rediscovered My Self.

He is a trailblazer in a sport full of tradition, pushing the rules to the brink, wearing his emotions on his sleeve and stepping on the court with a flare never seen before yet his calm demeanor and laid back tone caught Ryan, Channing and Fred by surprise as they sat with him for a layered conversation of sports, limelight, family, mental health and surviving scrutiny. Kyrgios' antics during matches are a sharp contrast from the chill man sitting across from the guys and an example of an athlete's reputation in the media not truly representing who that person is. Growing up in Australia, Nick had a unique childhood, spending a decade training from age 10yrs old working towards his goal of becoming a tennis star. His work paid off, and Nick became one of two tennis players on tour to defeat Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic on the first try. Nick shares how expectations were low and he surpassed people's thoughts giving him the reassurance that he didn't need others approval but just needed his own self respect and worth. Not only did he have historical wins on the court, but he did it his way, with trick shots that were unfamiliar at the time and a style not supported by the Tennis faithful.

You've probably noticed there are a lot of streaming platforms available these days. There are the traditional big players like Netflix, Amazon and Apple. There's Disney, with decades of family content, as well as superheroes and Star Wars. But there are also streaming platforms that cater to...everything: Horror films, British TV, Major League Soccer, Professional Tennis, theatrical performances, documentaries, influential classic films and the list goes on. All of those cost money. Add 'em up and you have something approaching or exceeding a traditional cable bill. So it's not serving most consumers well, the streamers are currently struggling to gain market share, while cancelling or not even releasing expensive projects that they've already made and are now pushing to introduce advertising.Add all that up, and what does the future of streaming look like to you? And does it work for anyone?GUEST: Angela Watercutter, Sr. Editor, WIRED

Ep. 102: When Mike and Bob Bryan retired from professional tennis in 2020, they held 118 doubles titles and 16 grand slam doubles championships. They spent 439 weeks ranked #1 in the world, which doubled the streak of any other duo. And while singles tennis tends to capture the popular imagination more than doubles, the brothers' infectious energy on the court earned them the ATP Tour "fan favorites" for 13 consecutive years. These charismatic geniuses of the court valued their relationship more than winning, offering a fitting lesson for any leader who knows that how you react to your teammates when you lose can determine how well you improve to win the next time.
