Podcast appearances and mentions of Rafael Nadal

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the last few rounds of Wimbledon, with a major focus on the final which featured the two most hyped players in tennis, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz. Both had an interesting run to make the final, with Sinner having an opponent retire while trailing massively, and Alcaraz dropping sets throughout the tournament. The discussion moves from what happened, to what this means to the future, and how these two players are already putting themselves in the history books with the big 4 players, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray.Contents:Intro 0:00Alcaraz-Sinner Rivalry 3:20Sinner Injury Conspiracy 7:27Alternative Wimbledon Outcome 10:24Three Tiers of Tennis 11:23Taylor Fritz Run 14:22Sinner-Alcaraz and the Big 3 17:38Grass Season Superlatives 19:30Segments 28:00Bet of the Week 33:45

It's a story of money, power, and morality playing out on the world's biggest tennis courts. While stars like Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek celebrate Grand Slam victories, a new, powerful force has entered their sport: Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF).This video investigates how, in just a few years, Saudi Arabia has executed a stealth takeover of professional tennis. We'll break down the "sportswashing" playbook—a multi-billion dollar strategy to use the glamour of sport to distract from a troubling human rights record.[1, 2] We explore the timeline of this takeover, from Rafael Nadal becoming a brand ambassador to the lucrative "Six Kings Slam" exhibition that dwarfed Grand Slam prize money.[3, 4]We'll also uncover the perfect storm that made this possible: the WTA's financial crisis after its principled but costly withdrawal from China over the Peng Shuai scandal, and the logistical chaos that followed.[5, 6]But what is the true cost? We examine the stark parallels between celebrated tennis moments and concurrent events inside the Kingdom, including the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, the imprisonment of women's rights activists like Manahel al-Otaibi, and record-breaking numbers of state executions.Finally, we look at the future of the sport, from the internal debate dividing legends like Chris Evert and Billie Jean King, to the PIF's plans to disrupt the traditional tennis calendar and threaten legacy events like the Australian Open. Is this the future of tennis, or a deal with a devil it can't escape?Hashtags:#Tennis #Sportswashing #SaudiArabia #PIF #WTA #ATP #Vision2030 #HumanRights #Geopolitics #Nadal #Djokovic #WTAFinals

Pour soutenir notre projet et soulager la seconde année d'alternance de Joris, nous lançons une campagne de financement participatif sur Tipee : https://fr.tipeee.com/game-set-talk Roger Federer a construit sa légende dans des duels épiques contre Rafael Nadal. Néanmoins, il a aussi très vite été confronté à un certain Novak Djokovic. Un joueur avec lequel une autre rivalité s'est construite, moins séduisante et plus cruelle pour le Suisse. Des défaites dramatiques en finale, des balles de match manquées, oui Djokovic a traumatisé Federer.

Tonight, we're getting to know Brandon NakashimaMeet Brandon Nakashima: The Rising Star of American TennisIf you follow tennis or have ever watched the U.S. Open or Wimbledon, you've probably heard about names like Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, or Coco Gauff. But there's another name you should know—Brandon Nakashima, one of the top young American men's tennis players on the ATP Tour.Brandon might not be a household name just yet, but he's been working his way up through the rankings with quiet confidence, strong discipline, and a game built on consistency and control. He's not flashy like some players, but that's part of what makes him so good—he lets his tennis speak for itself.Early Life and BackgroundBrandon Nakashima was born on August 3, 2001, in San Diego, California. He started playing tennis at the age of 3 with his grandfather and quickly fell in love with the sport. By the time he was in his early teens, Brandon was one of the top junior players in the country.He's of Japanese and Vietnamese heritage, and family is a big part of his life. His calm personality on court is often linked to the way he was raised—focused, respectful, and humble.Instead of turning professional right away, Brandon made a smart move: he played college tennis. In 2019, he spent one season at the University of Virginia, one of the best college tennis programs in the country. Even though he was only 17, he dominated in college matches. After just one season, he decided he was ready to go pro.Turning Pro and Climbing the RankingsBrandon turned professional in 2019 and didn't waste any time making an impact. In his first full year on tour, he reached an ATP final and started playing in Grand Slam tournaments. By 2022, he was ranked inside the Top 50 in the world, which is a big deal for a player in his early 20s.That same year, he made it to the fourth round of the U.S. Open, one of tennis's biggest events. He also won the Next Gen ATP Finals, a tournament that features the best players under 21. Previous winners include top stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, so winning that event showed just how high Brandon's ceiling could be.Playing StyleBrandon isn't the loudest or most emotional player on court, but he's one of the most focused. He's known for his steady baseline play, meaning he does really well in long rallies from the back of the court. He hits the ball cleanly, especially with his two-handed backhand, which is one of his best weapons.He doesn't rely on power alone. Instead, Brandon uses smart tactics, great footwork, and a calm mindset to outplay his opponents. His game is built for hard courts, but he's also improving on grass and clay—two very different and challenging surfaces.Recent Results and What's NextIn 2025, Brandon reached the third round of Wimbledon, defeating China's Yunchaokete Bu and fellow American Reilly Opelka before falling to Italy's Lorenzo Sonego. These wins reminded fans that he's still a strong competitor with the potential to go even further.Now ranked in the Top 80 (as of July 2025), Brandon is focusing on the North American hard-court season, including big tournaments like the Citi Open, Cincinnati Masters, and the U.S. Open.Why He MattersAmerican men's tennis has been looking for its next big star since the days of legends like Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras. While players like Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe, and Ben Shelton are getting a lot of attention, Brandon Nakashima is part of that same group. He might be quieter and more low-key than some of his peers, but he's just as talented and just as hungry to succeed.If you're a fan of sports where hard work and mental strength matter just as much as physical ability, Brandon is a great player to follow. He represents a new generation of tennis players who combine skill with sportsmanship—and he's just getting started.

In this episode of the All Sports Podcast, Matt, Joel, and Femi discuss the current state of tennis, focusing on Wimbledon and the prospects of British players. They analyze the challenges faced by both men's and women's players, including the pressure on young talents like Jack Draper and Emma Raducanu. The conversation shifts to the emerging stars like Carlos Alcaraz and the legacy of tennis greats such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, and Andy Murray. The episode concludes with a debate about Murray's legacy and whether he deserves a statue at Wimbledon.

Diese Folge hat alles: eine verschnupfte Nase, eine verschnupfte Jessi, die die Nase vor allem davon voll hat, dass Toni nachts um 22 Uhr noch im Kinderzimmer von Sohnemann Leon – der kommt übrigens auch noch zum Zähneputzen vorbei – podcasten will, und einen Felix, der lieber in Österreich und auf Ibiza gleichzeitig wohnen würde. Während Toni nach drei Tagen Trainerdasein heiser ist, aber mit seiner Academy immerhin einen Titel gefeiert hat, stellt sich die Frage: Welcher Trainertyp ist er eigentlich? Mehr Inzaghi oder mehr Jupp? Duracell-Hase oder Hindu-Kuh? Es geht um Urlaubspläne und Urlaubstypen: Campingplatz oder doch lieber Erlebnisurlaub? Felix hat da was von Kollege Lundt empfohlen bekommen, und Toni war mal eben bei Rafael Nadal auf Mallorca – Academy zu Academy, quasi. Nebenbei wird auch über die U21, Ole Werner bei RB, Horst Steffen bei Werder (Trainer-Namen, die nur aus Vornamen bestehen!) und die Club-WM gesprochen, auf die irgendwie niemand so richtig Lust hat. Vielleicht nächste Woche? Mal schauen. Und dann meldet sich auch noch Anrufer Elias und spricht mit den beiden über die Macht und den Einfluss von Social Media im Profisport. Eine Folge zwischen Schnupfen, Sonne und Social Media. Zwischen Heiserkeit und Heiterkeit eben. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

In The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay (Grand Central Publishing, 2025) Christopher Clarey illuminates the skill and determination it took to accomplish Rafael Nadal's most mind-blowing achievement: 14 French Open titles. Nadal has won big on tennis's many surfaces en route to becoming one of the greatest players of all time: securing two Wimbledon titles on grass and four U.S. Open titles on cushioned acrylic hardcourts. But clay, the slowest and grittiest of the game's playgrounds, is where it all comes together best for his tactical skills, whipping topspin forehand and gladiatorial mindset. Clay is to Rafael Nadal what water is to Michael Phelps, which helps explain one of the most impressive individual sports achievements of the 21st century. Clarey draws on interviews over many years with Nadal and his team and with rivals like Roger Federer. Not just a book about tennis, The Warrior draws much wider lessons from Nadal's approach to competition. Check out his site Tennis and Beyond here. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, will be out in the fall of 2025. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 3ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1967 bhí an rialtas ullamh chun laghdú na fíneálacha I gcoinne na bhfeirmeoirí.

I 2002 bhí Paul McCartney, Sting, Elton John, Brian Wilson, Cliff Richard, Ozzy Osbourne, The Corrs, Will Young, Atomic Kitten agus S Club 7 ag an cheolchoirm iubhaile banríon ag Buckingham Palace I Londain.

That was Usher and Will.I.Am with OMG – the biggest song on this day in 2010 Onto music news on this day In 1995 Bryan Adams started a five week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman' Taken from the film 'Don Juan De Marco' it became Adams third US solo No.1, a No.4 hit in the UK. 2002 Paul McCartney, Sting, Elton John, Brian Wilson, Cliff Richard, Ozzy Osbourne, The Corrs, Will Young, Atomic Kitten and S Club 7 all appeared at The Queen's Jubilee concert at Buckingham Palace, London.

Por primera vez en la historia de Nude Project, grabamos un podcast con público en directo. 200 jóvenes reunidos para escuchar, aprender y motivarse con las palabras de Toni Nadal, el entrenador que estuvo detrás de uno de los mejores tenistas del mundo: Rafael Nadal. Desde el escenario, Toni nos habla de esfuerzo, disciplina, fracaso, talento (y de por qué no cree tanto en él). Su visión es directa, a veces dura, pero siempre real. Porque si algo tiene claro es que “la voluntad es más importante que la motivación, y el éxito solo llega con trabajo”. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Drama, delight and double bagels! It can only mean one thing... the French Open Round 1 catch up at Roland Garros with Joel and Kim. It's been a Brit bonanza in Paris, with 6 of 7 sailing into Round 2 – including Emma Raducanu, who now faces defending champ Iga Swiatek in a blockbuster showdown. Cameron Norrie also pulled off the upset of the round, outlasting Medvedev in five, while Jack Draper kept cool to seal a confident 4-set win.Elsewhere, big names like Sinner, Alcaraz, Sabalenka, Gauff, and Djokovic (fresh off his 100th career title!) breezed through – but it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Americans, with Taylor Fritz and Emma Navarro crashing out early. Plus, Vika Azarenka dished out a ruthless double bagel, Caroline Garcia said her final singles farewell at her home Slam, and Roland Garros paid an emotional tribute to the King of Clay himself, Rafael Nadal, with the Big 4 reuniting to honour his legacy.

No fue suerte. Fue estrategia. Y esto no es para admirarlo desde lejos. Esto es para estudiarlo desde adentro. Porque no solo llegó a ser el número uno. No solo es tenista. No solo tiene la marca personal más sofisticada y elegante del deporte. También es el único tenista billonario en el planeta. Es la segunda persona más admirada del mundo. Y llevó una empresa hasta la bolsa de valores en WallStreet con mucho estilo y estrategia. Quise analizar su modelo de negocio, su marca personal y la manera en que pensó como visionario y como empresario mientras los otros solo pensaban como atletas. Y cómo tú puedes aplicar esa misma estrategia. Porque no necesitas ser tenista para pensar como una leyenda.   Links mencionados:   ⭐️ Únete a Marca Personal 360° CLIC AQUÍ ✨

Once more of a certainty, the results at this year's French Open feel up in the air. Correspondent Gethin Coolbaugh reports.

Capturing the essence of an athlete—let alone defining a career within the grand tapestry of a sport's history—is no easy feat. As the era of the "Big Three" nears its close, Rafael Nadal's reign over clay courts and his unprecedented dominance at Roland Garros stand unmatched—and perhaps forever unrepeatable. On the latest episode of the Beyond The Baselines podcast, renowned journalist Christopher Clarey—former international sports correspondent for The New York Times and International Herald Tribune—offers a multifaceted look at Nadal's legacy: athletic, historical, and deeply human. His new book, The Warrior: Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay, has garnered praise for its insightful, elegant portrayal of the man behind the legend. The book embraces the romance and comments on and depicts the discipline Rafa brought to the tour, but especially to Roland Garros and the Bois de Boulogne in Paris. Clarey paints a picture of Rafa and Roland Garros that would make even the great French impressionists proud. Monet could not have painted a better canvas, as Clarey calls one of his chapters, using the red brick dust to create a pastel in words that tracks and notates an historic and incredible career. In the book, Clarey explores the profound discipline and emotional depth Nadal brought to the game, particularly in Paris' storied Bois de Boulogne. While Nadal will always be synonymous with clay, Clarey is careful to position him within the broader context of tennis history—not merely as a surface specialist, but as a transcendent champion. Nadal's legendary intensity is captured with charm and detail—whether on court or playing fiercely competitive games of Parchisi behind the scenes. Drawing from over three decades of tennis coverage, Clarey delivers not just facts, but a textured portrait worthy of the greatest French impressionists. Indeed, in a chapter inspired by Monet, Clarey uses the red dust of Roland Garros as his palette, crafting a vivid narrative of a once-in-a-generation career. Though anchored in clay—with a staggering 14-0 record in French Open finals—Nadal's résumé extends far beyond. His eight Grand Slam titles on other surfaces equal the career totals of Connors, Lendl, and Agassi. Clarey deftly examines how evolving surfaces shaped Nadal's journey and what those shifts meant to his enduring greatness. Ultimately, The Warrior is more than a biography—it's an artistic tribute to one of the sport's most iconic figures. Nadal's legacy, etched in grit, grace, and red clay, comes alive through Clarey's masterful storytelling.

Tennis legend Rafael Nadal retired last year after a record-breaking career, one that included winning every major championship. In a new biography, Christopher Clarey – former tennis correspondent for The New York Times – considers the player's life and career, with particular focus on Nadal's domination on clay courts. In today's episode, Clarey joins Here & Now's Scott Tong for a conversation about the emotional side of Nadal's game, including the player's rituals and tics, his rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, and his early mentor in the sport.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

A career relentlessly put together by Rafael Nadal has been painstakingly chronicled and analysed by author Christopher Clarey in his new book 'The Warrior - Rafael Nadal and His Kingdom of Clay'. In conversation with David Law, Chris describes the teenage Nadal he knew, his unprecedented, absurd dominance at Roland Garros, and the backlash to his success that followed in France. They talk about the process of putting the book together, and what might follow next, for Nadal, for tennis, and possibly a Novak Djokovic follow-up for the author.The Warrior is available this week, wherever you get your books.Buy tickets for Tennis Podcast Live in London on Thursday 26th June at Shoreditch Town Hall.
