Podcasts about Riyadh

Saudi Arabia burns nearly one million barrels of oil per day to keep its lights on, yet it has cheaper and faster ways to replace this than by building large nuclear reactors. So why is the Kingdom pushing so hard for a civil nuclear deal? This episode walks through the strategic logic that has animated Riyadh's nuclear ambitions for more than a decade. The answer lies in prestige, industrial capacity, and the latent fuel cycle capabilities that come with a power reactor programme, all set against the backdrop of regional tension with Iran.We look closely at the recent Washington announcement that United States Saudi 123 talks have been “concluded,” the unresolved fight over enrichment rights, and the geopolitical pressure being applied to South Korea to align its nuclear exports with American interests. From the legacy of the Quincy pact to the rivalry between Westinghouse and KEPCO, this conversation unpacks how a simple reactor tender has become one of the most consequential energy and security decisions in the Gulf.Listen to Decouple on:• Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6PNr3ml8nEQotWWavE9kQz• Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/decouple/id1516526694?uo=4• Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1516526694/decouple• Pocket Casts: https://pca.st/ehbfrn44• RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/23775178/podcast/rssWebsite: https://www.decouple.media

A Year in Review episode on the first of the month, AND it's a Victory Monday? Andy and Brendan are in high spirits following the holiday weekend and are joined by KVV and PJ for the third installment of the 2025 Year in Review. For those unaware, the date is December 1 and the Chicago Bears are atop the NFC standings. Andy can't believe what he's seeing and is still rolling following a big Black Friday win over the defending Super Bowl champions. The crew discusses David Puig's win at the Australian PGA and some other assorted notes from the first of two weeks down under for the DP World Tour before moving on to the Year in Review. KVV gets called in from the bullpen to handle the WM Phoenix Open to kick things off. He regales his audience with tales of Andy selling off property on "Just a Guyland" before Spieth popped at TPC Scottsdale and dives into LIV's 2025 kickoff in Riyadh. Brendan then takes the baton and looks back on a "muted" Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines. This event moved from Riviera due to the LA fires and was the week after Tiger's mom passed away, leading to a more subdued event than usual. Andy brightens the mood by unpacking the TGL Presidents' Day marathon and what was perhaps the true "Event of the Year," the Mexico Open at VidantaWorld. Everyone takes a great amount of joy as the pillow fight of a playoff between Brian Campbell and Aldrich Potgieter is pored over in great detail. Lastly, PJ closes out this episode with some more TGL memories, including the league's first-ever one day signing and Brendan's second trip to the SoFi Dome. Jake Knapp's big week at the Cognizant Classic is also discussed, but the true news of the week came in the form of letters to Sam Saunders regarding exemptions into the Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill. We will put the Year in Review on pause for a few shows as pro golf heads to one of the world's finest courses for the Australian Open and PGA Tour stars will tee it up at the Hero World Challenge this week.

In this special episode of The TWENTY30 Presented by Bechtel Saudi Arabia, hosts Lucien and Hanaa dedicate the full episode to analyze the significance and future impact of Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince to Washington as a new era in US-Saudi relations begins. This episode features three separate interviews from experts to break down the visit's meaning and to speak to a changing and enhanced relationship between the United States and Saudi Arabia.  After a full recap of the visit and the various agreements and deals signed between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, the hosts first welcome onto the show Dr. Mansour Almarzoqi, Director of the Center for Strategic Studies and Director of the Center for American Studies at Riyadh's Prince Saud Al-Faisal Institute for Diplomatic Studies to talk about the visit within the context of the long history between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, and how Saudi Arabia, now emerging as a global "middle power" is of strategic and economic importance to the United States - which was recognized in the welcoming for HRH the Crown Prince.  Next, the hosts welcome on Saudi businessman Bader Alreziza, joining the show from the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, to break down the reception and impact from the business community and speak to the existing and new opportunities that will emerge from the landmark meeting.  Then, the hosts speak to the Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce in Riyadh (AMCHAM) and Partner at PWC, Darrell McGraw, on how Saudi Arabia is changing as a business and investment landscape, why the energy on the ground in Saudi Arabia is palpable and vibrant now, and how technology cooperation is the new big opportunity for the two countries to further grow their tight bilateral relationship.   After the three interviews, Lucien and Hanaa distill their conversations and provide their take on the new dynamic, business opportunities, and how enduring players in Saudi Arabia -- like U.S.-based Bechtel -- show a model for success in doing business in Saudi Arabia.  The TWENTY30 team is honored to collaborate with Bechtel, whose enduring projects built the Saudi Arabia of today, and whose work today building the Saudi Arabia of tomorrow makes the company an integral part of the Kingdom's transformation and story of change, which is the subject of The TWENTY30 media channels. Bechtel's partnership with the TWENTY30 on this episode reflects the company's over 8 decades of building infrastructure, major projects, transportation systems, mining and minerals, energy and renewable energy, ports, and giga-projects in Saudi Arabia, proving itself time and again not only as the go-to partner for Saudi Arabia's ambitious vision, but also a steady partner for Saudi Arabia dedicated to the Kingdom's enduring national prosperity.

It's a special mid-week edition of the podcast, as host T.J. Rives is back with special guests around the "Ring IV- Night of Champions" ppv card in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Both Saadeq Ahmed (who covered the card live) and Managing Editor for Big Fight Weekend.com, Ricky Carroll are aboard for their perspectives and analysis.The guys talk in order:Saadeq sharing the bizaare' timeline for the show, that saw the main event happen at after 5am Saudi time early into Sunday a.m. The guys also go over the fights starting with Abdul Mason's power punching win over Sam Noakes for the WBO lightweight crown. Mason is on the rise and at 21 years old is boxing's youngest world champ. So, what's in store for him?Next, it was a huge night for Jesse "Bam" Rodriguez to become unified at 115 lb. with a domination of Fernando Martinez for 8 rounds and then flattened him for good with a big left hook in the 9th for the KO. Is Bam deserving of a top 5 pound for pound grade?Continuing, Saadeq gives more insight on how the Bam fight took some life out of the building and even though he was in control with a second round knock down, Devin Haney couldn't overwhelm WBO welterweigh champ, Brian Norman. So, it was a little unsatisfying, even though the still unbeaten Haney was much better than the champ and got the decision win.And, finally, David Benavidez made easy work out of Anthony Yarde by brutally pounding him over 7 rounds and eventual TKO stoppage. Benavide wants curiserweight unfied champ, Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramires, next in Las Vegas in May. We'll see if it happens?Hear from our guys on the "Fight Freaks Unite Recap" on this Big Fight Weekend Podcast" feed and make sure to follow/subscribe on Apple/Spreaker/Spotify!

Is the era of Israel's undisputed regional dominance coming to an end? In this episode, we dissect the rapidly shifting tectonic plates of Middle East geopolitics. We tackle the provocative question: Has Israel lost its power and strategic initiative to rising regional heavyweights? We analyze how the landscape has changed since October 7th, examining the surging diplomatic and economic influence of Saudi Arabia, the assertive, independent foreign policy of Turkey under Erdogan, and the indispensable mediation role played by Qatar.Join us as we explore whether the momentum of the Abraham Accords has stalled and if a new power balance—led by Riyadh, Ankara, and Doha, is redefining the region's future at Israel's expense.This episode includes AI-generated content.

United States President Donald Trump “looks at Saudi Arabia like a piggy bank or an ATM machine” and that's why the recent Saudi-US summit focused on deals instead of strategic regional issues, such as Sudan, Palestine, Iran and Syria, argues political scientist Gregory Gause, professor emeritus of international affairs at Texas A&M University. Gause tells host Steve Clemons that if Riyadh can seal a deal to house a joint AI data centre, “that's the best guarantee of US security.” He adds that China may be Saudi Arabia's biggest customer but the US is Riyadh's “preferred partner on security, AI, economics and defence cooperation”.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this episode of The Wright Report, Bryan breaks down President Trump's one trillion dollar deal with Saudi Arabia, the political risk created by the lingering 9/11 lawsuit, the White House's continued push for foreign labor, and new polling that shows major headwinds for Republicans. The global brief then moves to Russian sabotage across Europe, Chinese made vehicles spying on Western militaries, and new research from Australia on autism and prenatal nutrition. Trump Signs One Trillion Dollar Saudi Deal: President Trump and Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman agreed to sweeping partnerships that span nuclear energy, rare earth mining, financial services, liquified natural gas, advanced AI chips, and the sale of up to forty eight F-35 fighter jets. The deal promises major job gains in states like Texas, Pennsylvania, Wyoming, Arizona, and Louisiana. Bryan notes that Congress must still approve the fighter sales and that Israel will require a guaranteed technological edge before any jets reach Riyadh. He also warns that the 9/11 families' lawsuit against the Saudi government could disrupt everything. Court filings allege that two Saudi linked men assisted the first hijackers upon arrival in the United States, and a judge has ruled that the evidence is strong enough to move forward. Foreign Labor Controversy and Political Fallout: Trump defended his plan to use H-1B workers for new chip and battery factories, arguing that American workers are not trained for these roles. He acknowledged that the stance is hurting his poll numbers but insisted that "smart people" support his position. Bryan outlines why many conservatives see this as a repeat of past Big Tech abuses and why Silicon Valley's financial support could become a liability for the White House if working class voters feel sidelined. Polls show two thirds of Americans believe the country is on the wrong track, Trump's approval rating sits around thirty eight percent in public surveys, and Democrats hold a fourteen point lead on the congressional generic ballot. Economic Signals Remain Mixed: The trade deficit fell twenty four percent as Americans purchased more U.S. made goods, suggesting the tariffs are strengthening domestic manufacturing. Construction data shows modest growth in housing but weakness in commercial projects. Foreclosures are rising, and Zillow reports that homeowners now face sixteen thousand dollars in annual upkeep on average. Bryan cautions that unless working families feel real relief by summer, the midterms could be difficult for Republicans. Russia Sabotages European Rail Lines: Poland confirmed that Russian intelligence directed two sabotage attempts on rail lines used to deliver weapons and aid to Ukraine. Explosives were placed to derail a passenger train, and investigators arrested two Ukrainian men recruited through online channels. Bryan connects this attack to a wider hybrid war across Europe directed by the GRU, including recent attempts to set off explosives in air cargo shipments. Italy's defense minister declared that Europe is under attack, although Bryan notes that European militaries are too hollowed out to respond meaningfully for years to come. China's Electric Cars and Buses Act as Spy Platforms: The United Kingdom warned that Chinese made hybrid and electric vehicles can record conversations and transmit data back to Beijing. Norway found that Chinese electric buses can be hacked and remotely controlled even in deep underground environments. Israel seized seven hundred Chinese government vehicles after discovering data gathering sensors. Bryan reminds listeners that he first warned of this surveillance threat years ago and says Western governments are only now catching up. Australia Links Prenatal Nutrition to Lower Autism Risk: Researchers found that prenatal supplements containing folic acid, vitamin B12, vitamin D, iodine, and other micronutrients are associated with a thirty percent reduction in autism risk. Scientists suspect a connection to the mother's gut microbiome and its influence on fetal development. Bryan notes that similar gut based treatments have shown promise in Europe and the United States and encourages listeners to remain open to emerging science.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump Saudi one trillion dollar deal, F-35 sale approval Congress, Saudi 9/11 lawsuit al-Bayoumi al-Thumairy, Trump H-1B foreign workers battery factories, U.S. trade deficit drop tariffs, Poland Russia rail sabotage Ukraine, Chinese electric vehicle spying UK Norway Israel, prenatal vitamins autism Australia study

The resolution allows for Trump's “board of peace” to oversee multinational peacekeeping forces, Palestinian technocrats, and a local police force that would govern Gaza for a period of two years, while potentially paving a path for a Palestinian state.On Tuesday, President Trump met with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman at the White House. Speaking to reporters from the Oval Office, MBS stated that Riyadh would like to join the Abraham Accords but must see a pathway toward a two-state solution. Also, Trump confirmed that the United States will sell F-35 “stealth” jets to Saudi Arabia, prompting concern from Israel's defense establishment, with the Israeli Air Force saying the deal jeopardizes Israel's air superiority.To discuss the developments unfolding with regards to Israel and the Middle East and the possibility of Palestinian statehood, Dan was joined by Ark Media contributors Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal. CREDITS:ILAN BENATAR - Producer & EditorADAAM JAMES LEVIN-AREDDY - Executive ProducerMARTIN HUERGO - Sound EditorMARIANGELES BURGOS - Additional EditingMAYA RACKOFF - Operations DirectorGABE SILVERSTEIN - ResearchYUVAL SEMO - Music Composer

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman told US President Donald Trump that he wants Riyadh to join the Abraham Accords, the framework for the normalisation of ties between Israel and several Muslim states, but also wants to secure a “clear path” to Palestinian statehood. Saudi Arabia's de facto leader was speaking during a visit the White House, his first since the 2018 murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, which occurred inside the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.Also in the programme: Europe's uneasy standoff with Russia's so-called “shadow fleet”; and we hear from one of the scientists behind a new study which traces the origins of kissing back more than 21 million years...Photo: Donald Trump speaking at black-tie dinner.

Today, Morgan, Jamil, Matt, and Jess unpack Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's high-profile visit to Washington, his first since the murder of Jamal Khashoggi, and a landmark $1 trillion investment announcement alongside a U.S. agreement to sell the Kingdom F-35 fighter jets. The visit, including a business summit at the Kennedy Center, underscores Saudi Arabia's growing economic and strategic importance to the United States.As President Trump deepens ties with Riyadh and pushes for Saudi normalization with Israel through the Abraham Accords, is this a pragmatic step toward regional stability — or a transactional bet with long-term risks? Can trade and tech cooperation truly build a new Middle Eastern “NATO,” or is Washington gambling on partnerships that could prove fragile?@morganlroach@jamil_n_jaffer@nottvjessjones@WMattHaydenLike what we're doing here?

Ghost delivers a massive, real-time breakdown of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman's historic White House visit with President Trump, calling it the most consequential U.S.–Saudi meeting in generations. He tracks every detail of the day—F-35 and F-22 flyovers, the investment announcements, the unusual schedule, the symbolism, and the trillion-dollar commitment that signals a deep strategic realignment. Ghost lays out how Vision 2030, semiconductor reshoring, rare-earth partnerships, LNG expansion, and a new wave of American manufacturing all interlock into a single, long-term plan to secure the next era of global power. He dives into Arab News messaging, analyzes Saudi media signals, explains why the Saudis are diversifying beyond oil, and even breaks down the architectural ambitions reshaping Riyadh. From the UN's Gaza stabilization force to Sudan's civil war, from U.S. troop placement to global supply-chain engineering, Ghost follows the geopolitical threads connecting the Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America, and Washington, arguing that we're watching the formation of a new golden age built on U.S.–Saudi partnership and Trump's economic vision.

Mr. Beast Biography Flash a weekly Biography.This week, Mr. Beast, whose real name is Jimmy Donaldson, made global headlines with the official launch of Beast Land, his first-ever theme park in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The grand opening of this immersive zone during Riyadh Season 2025 brought Mr. Beast onsite, mingling with huge crowds and personally interacting with fans amid a media frenzy.

This challenge, running through December 1, urges creators to post videos of kind acts using dedicated hashtags. The top 10 will join Mr. Beast on stage in Dubai next year, in a move aiming to rewrite the social impact playbook on a global scale, as spotlighted by the campaign announcement on Instagram.Social media, as always, is both a boon and a battleground.

Has having 3 leaders from an early stage accelerated the ambition of Bacchus? Anouschka talks about PR needing to have a commercial impact and needing to generate cash for clients. How does that come through in the approach to Bacchus's work? All of Bacchus' senior staff in London have been with the business for over a decade. That creates great experience and knowledge in the business but can it result in a lack of opportunity for more junior employees?Anouschka talks about how Bacchus made the move into real estate PR? That seems quite a jump from restaurants and hotels? But that was a crucial step for the business right.How does Bacchus create an entrepreneurial culture in its business? “It needs to be a better package than anyone else is offering.”Anouschka has built an international business when lots of her peer agencies have struggled to build an international network. Why did she decide to go international relatively early in Bacchus's journey?“Corporate PR is probably easier than consumer PR!”“Any international entity coming to the UK needs to understand that our press will leave no stone unturned.”How excited is Anouschka about PR's GEO opportunity?If Anouschka had one piece of advice for young PR agency leaders out there, what would it be?“Never compete with anyone but yourselves?”Is Anouschka nervous or positive about the future of the PR agency business?

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Join Bryan Dean Wright, former CIA Operations Officer, as he dives into today's top stories shaping America and the world. In this Monday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan covers the White House's growing anxiety over the economy, the nationwide crackdown on illegal migrant truck drivers, new DHS surges into sanctuary cities, the rise of openly socialist leadership on the West Coast, and escalating tensions with China in the Pacific. White House Softens Tariffs as Prices Rise: President Trump acknowledged that tariffs may be affecting consumers and announced lower rates on coffee, beef, bananas, and other staples. Prices have soared due to weather, crop disease, and global demand rather than tariffs alone. Bryan explains that the cuts signal the administration's concern that working families are still struggling and that midterm voters may blame the GOP if the economy does not improve soon. Families Fear the Cost of Children: A new American Family Survey found that seventy percent of Americans believe raising kids has become too expensive. Bryan warns that this trend threatens the nation's future and highlights the connection between economic strain and family planning decisions. Crackdown on Unsafe Migrant Truck Drivers: The White House pressured California to revoke seventeen thousand driver's licenses issued to migrants who often cannot read English or safely operate heavy trucks. Some judges in Washington blocked the rule on procedural grounds, creating legal limbo. Bryan notes that until courts rule, untrained foreign drivers will remain on American highways. DHS Surge Operations Expand: Federal officers have flooded Charlotte, North Carolina, where one in five residents is foreign born. The move mirrors earlier crackdowns in Chicago, Portland, Los Angeles, and Washington, where crime dropped after DHS deployments. Bryan says New Orleans is next. Catholic Bishops Clash with the White House: The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops accused the administration of racism and fearmongering. Border czar Tom Homan responded that securing the border saves lives and that the Church should focus on its own scandals. Socialists Rise in Seattle and Los Angeles: Seattle elected an openly socialist mayor who supports abolishing the police under a communist economic system. In Los Angeles, another socialist candidate is challenging Mayor Karen Bass. Bryan connects these victories to a wider ideological battle inside the Democratic Party, where figures like Obama and Clinton now embrace democratic socialism while voices like Bill Maher warn against it. Democrats Plan Supreme Court Expansion: Longtime strategist James Carville confirmed that the party intends to expand the Supreme Court to thirteen justices once Democrats regain the presidency and Congress. He expects the party to remove the filibuster for that purpose, declaring the fight against Trump a national emergency. GOP Infighting Grows: Trump attacked Representatives Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie over comments about Epstein files and personal issues. Bryan urges conservatives to stop the internal battles as socialist movements gain ground nationwide. China Leverages Rare Earths and Military Power: Beijing is delaying rare earth shipments and failed to buy U.S. soybeans despite promises. A shortage of yttrium is emerging, although a U.S. company in Indiana will begin refining it next month. Meanwhile, China sent Coast Guard ships into Japanese waters and unveiled a new aircraft carrier, signaling rising tensions in the Pacific. Trump's Narco-Terror Operation Continues: Another drug boat was destroyed in the Pacific under Operation Southern Spear. Critics in the U.K. claim the strikes violate international law, though the White House says cartels qualify as narco-terrorists and legitimate targets. Britain's Leader Shifts Right on Immigration: Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced sweeping new restrictions, ending cash allowances for asylum seekers, requiring work, and imposing twenty-year waits for permanent residency. Bryan notes the political pressure building across Europe as voters demand tougher borders. Saudi Crown Prince to Visit Washington: The White House may sell F-35 fighter jets to Saudi Arabia, though U.S. intelligence fears technology theft and regional imbalance with Israel. Economic deals may also emerge as Riyadh seeks to follow through on earlier promises. Good News from Southeast Asia: Trump brokered a fresh ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia after border clashes. Cambodia is moving closer to the United States, granting new access to a key naval base and pushing out Chinese crime networks.   "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Trump tariff cuts grocery prices, American Family Survey cost of children, migrant truck drivers CDL revocation, DHS Charlotte surge, Tom Homan Catholic bishops border, Seattle socialist mayor police abolition, Los Angeles socialist candidate Rae Huang, James Carville Supreme Court expansion, GOP infighting Epstein files, China rare earth yttrium shortage, Senkaku Islands China Coast Guard, Operation Southern Spear drug boats, UK asylum overhaul Starmer, Saudi Arabia F-35 visit, Cambodia Thailand ceasefire

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Last week, the US officially launched negotiations within the 15-member United Nations Security Council on a draft resolution that would follow up on Israel and Hamas’s October 9 ceasefire-hostage agreement. Tomorrow, the Security Council is set to vote on the resolution, which would deliver Gaza to an International Stabilization Force (ISF) and an apolitical Palestinian administration overseen by a Trump-chaired Board of Peace. In the first half of the program, Berman gives an analysis of some of the implications for Israel -- and questions the world's appetite for seeing through in the demilitarization of Hamas. US President Donald Trump on Friday said that he was considering agreeing to a deal to supply Saudi Arabia with F-35 stealth fighter jets, which are made by Lockheed Martin. We hear whether a more robust Saudi air force could affect the Middle East and learn why the United Arab Emirates has not yet received its promised planes. The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) said on Friday that the Israeli army had built walls on the Lebanese side of the UN-demarcated Blue Line, the de facto border. We learn about the Blue Line and discuss whether a complaint to the UN has any teeth. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

LionTree's James Lindsay visits the massive studio complex of Merwas in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia (the world's largest music studio, according to Guinness) to converse with Danny Townsend, CEO of SURJ Sports Investment.

The pair hone in on Danny's broad remit, underlining the “dual mandate” of successfully deploying Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) in the sports arena, as well as bringing about genuine social change by expanding youth sport participation and maximizing opportunities for female athletes such as Saudi MMA champion, Hattan Alsaif.This podcast is for information purposes only.

LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ In this punchy Dropping Bombs episode, David Benavidez and Matthew (Mateo) Attalla expose the real playbook for champions inside business and boxing. Benavidez, the "Mexican Monster," breaks down fight‑or‑flight resilience, training until it hurts, and the mindset that keeps him undefeated—and locked in for Riyadh on November 22 versus Anthony Yarde (watch free on DAZN). He gets raw about hitting rock bottom, building a bulletproof prayer routine, and why confidence comes from work, not hype.   Attalla lays out how BOXR went from a condo and parking lots during COVID to four Miami locations and thousands of members, and why boxing's discipline translates directly to leadership, sales, and stress control. Together they unpack Saudi's new money, Jake Paul's fighter‑promoter model, sponsorship economics, and the brutal truth: if you're not getting better, you're slacking. If you're serious about leveling up your life, your business, or your fight game—this conversation is your wake-up call to stop playing small and start dominating.

Catherine, David and Matt discuss Elena Rybakina's title victory in Riyadh and preview the ATP Finals in Turin as the field is finally set. Part one - WTA Finals (00:00 - 49:38). We cover Rybakina's incredible performance to beat Aryna Sabalenka 6-3 7-6(0) in the final and ponder what it might mean for the future. There's also chat about Sabalenka's brilliant victory over Amanda Anisimova in the semi-finals, the triumph of Elise Mertens and Veronika Kudermetova in the doubles, and The Athletic's Matt Futterman delivers some powerful final reflections on his experience of the event. Part two - ATP Finals Preview (49:39 - 1:10:45). We react to the absurd situation in Athens as Novak Djokovic won a remarkable 101st title, breaking Lorenzo Musetti's heart, but then withdrew from the ATP Finals allowing Musetti to participate in his place. After all that, what might happen in Turin? Part three - Reaction to our Jack Draper interview (1:10:46 - 1:24:06) Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!
