WTA Weekly – Queen's Club Review & Berlin/Nottingham Preview Welcome to WTA Weekly. This week, the grass-court season delivered one of its best stories as Donna Vekic completed a remarkable run to win the Queen's Club title in London. Entering the tournament as a lucky loser after falling in qualifying, Vekic took full advantage of her second chance and capped the week with a 6-0, 7-6(6) victory over home favourite Emma Raducanu in the final. Vekic dominated the opening set before Raducanu fought back impressively in the second. The Brit recovered from a difficult start, built a lead, and even held set points, but Vekic's experience on grass proved decisive in a tense tiebreak. The Croatian eventually converted her fifth championship point to secure her first title in several years. Despite the loss, Raducanu leaves Queen's with plenty of positives. After an injury- and illness-disrupted season, she reached the final without dropping a set before Sunday and recorded victories over multiple top players. Her form suggests she could be a dangerous contender during the remainder of the grass swing and at Wimbledon. As for Vekic, the title continues a remarkable turnaround. She only entered the main draw after a late withdrawal created a lucky-loser spot, yet she navigated the field brilliantly and now heads into Wimbledon full of confidence. Looking ahead, attention shifts to the WTA 500 event in Berlin, one of the strongest grass-court tournaments outside Wimbledon. The field is expected to feature many of the tour's top players, making it a crucial test before the Championships. Meanwhile, the WTA event in Nottingham offers another opportunity for players to gain valuable grass-court matches and ranking points. With Wimbledon just around the corner, every match becomes increasingly important as players fine-tune their games for the year's biggest grass-court event. That's all for this week's WTA Weekly. The road to Wimbledon is heating up, and after Vekic's incredible lucky-loser triumph at Queen's, the grass season has already shown that anything can happen. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Dean's Chat, Drs. Jeffrey Jensen and Johanna Richey welcome Dr. Ron Raducanu for a wide-ranging conversation about podiatric medicine, mentorship, mission work, online discourse, and building a meaningful career in the profession. Originally from Montreal, Canada, Dr. Raducanu shares the unexpected story of how he discovered podiatry after literally colliding with a podiatrist on his way to class during his undergraduate studies at Concordia University. That encounter ultimately led him to the Temple University School of Podiatric Medicine and a lifelong commitment to podiatric education, surgery, and service.The discussion dives into the unique challenges Canadian students face when pursuing podiatric training in the United States, including visa hurdles, residency limitations, and immigration logistics. Dr. Raducanu reflects candidly on his own journey navigating student visas, residency sponsorships, and eventual U.S. citizenship while encouraging transparency and mentorship for future international students entering the profession.Dr. Raducanu also discusses his current private practice model in southern New Jersey, where a collaborative culture allows physicians to focus on their individual strengths while providing comprehensive patient care. The conversation highlights the importance of collegiality, specialization, and professional respect within podiatry, emphasizing how strong teamwork benefits both physicians and patients alike.The episode also explores Dr. Raducanu's extensive commitment to academics and organized medicine, including his decade-long leadership role with the American College of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics. He reflects on building the organization from the ground up and the lessons learned from leading a national nonprofit largely through volunteer effort and determination.One of the most compelling portions of the interview centers on Dr. Raducanu's mission work in Nigeria, where he has helped provide foot and ankle care in underserved communities while working to develop podiatric education pathways within the country's medical system. He shares stories of cultural immersion, resource-limited surgical environments, and his vision for establishing long-term lower extremity care and training programs in West Africa.Finally, the conversation shifts to social media and Dr. Raducanu's role as a moderator on Reddit's podiatry forum, which has grown to over one million views annually. The group discusses the challenges of anonymous online discourse, the need for professionalism in digital spaces, and the importance of creating constructive forums for honest conversations about podiatric medicine. Throughout the episode, listeners are reminded of the power of mentorship, service, collaboration, and authentic dialogue in advancing the profession.

Let's go! Today, we mix it up with the current head coach at Mohawk College, a former D1 player, skills and life coach, Mihai Raducanu! We have a great conversation when the Romanian born who found himself in love with the game early, and once his family immigrated to Hamilton, it was over. Spending his high school years around great coaches and players, including former guest Kyle Julius Mihai started to gain interest at the D1 level.  The self-admitted stoic had a great time at Coastal Carolina and, since then has been expanding his knowledge of the game across the world. Mihai is slowly turning the culture around at Mohawk and impacting the lives of many. Grab a pen and paper, the knowledge dropped in today's episode is next level!

Catherine, David and Matt are back to talk about the opening stages of Cincinnati which has seen brutal temperatures, a power outage, and plenty of compelling tennis too. Part one - ATP Results. We start by taking stock of the careers of Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Casper Ruud after their struggles continued. There's also Lorenzo Musetti's poor form on hard courts, both Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz immediately going out to practise after their latest victories, another tricky week for Joao Fonseca, and a surprise defeat for Alex de Minaur. Part two - WTA Results (45m45s). The match of the tournament so far was Aryna Sabalenka's three hour victory over Emma Raducanu. We discuss Sabalenka's phenomenal tiebreak record, really encouraging signs for Raducanu, and our impressions of the early glimpses of her coaching partnership with Francisco Roig. There's also Madison Keys saving match points to win yet again and Amanda Anisimova losing to Anna Kalinskaya. Part three - Details of our live show in Wrexham on Wednesday 22nd October!

Catherine, David and Matt react to the events of Day 5 at Wimbledon, moments after Aryna Sabalenka wrapped up victory over Emma Raducanu. In Part 1 we discuss the final match of the day and the improvements shown by Raducanu despite her eventual loss to the world no 1. We also look at the defeat of Madison Keys by Laura Siegemund and ask if that's something we should have seen coming, analyse the losses for Naomi Osaka and Elina Svitolina, and discuss big wins for Sonay Kartal and Amanda Anisimova.In part 2 (49m48s) we look at all the men's results including Alcaraz's four set victory against Struff, Fritz's continued progress through the draw, and Rublev's improved form as he beat Adrian Mannarino. There was even more Matt-coded content as Jarry beat Fonseca and Ben Shelton added to history with a 70 second serve-dominated winning game on the resumption of his match. In part 3 (77m27s) we look look ahead to tomorrow's order of play. Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠Check out our ⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠!

On Day 3 at Wimbledon, the tennis continued to be dramatic, with more seeds falling in what is rapidly becoming the major theme of this tournament. In part 1 Catherine, David and Matt begin by discussing the defeat of a weary-looking Jasmine Paolini by Kamilla Rakhimova. Emma Raducanu impressed against Marketa Vondrousova, but what chance does she have against Aryna Sabalenka? We also talk about a strong performance from Madison Keys, Matt's getting excited and nervous about Amanda Anisimova's draw, and we cover disappointment for Boulter who once again lost a match at Wimbledon when she was the favourite. In part 2 (40m34s) we look at the men's draw, which has opened up further with the loss of Frances Tiafoe to a revitalised Cameron Norrie, and Lehecka to an inspired Bellucci. There's excitement about the match that's been set up between Fonseca (who beat Brooksby in arguably the best match of the day) and the resurgent Nicolas Jarry. The prospect of Chilean against Brazilian fans in round 3 is tantalising. And Taylor Fritz will finally get a day off tomorrow after delaying the pod once again with his late night five-set victory over Gabriel Diallo. There's also plenty of coverage of Carlos Alcaraz's victory over plucky Brit Oliver Tarvet. In part 3 (66m58s) we look ahead to tomorrow's order of play, in particular Dan Evans getting the chance to take on Novak Djokovic on Centre Court.
