One of our more international podcasts as tennis coach Calvin Betton joins us from the Rogers Cup in Montreal, James Gray from the Olympics in Paris and George Bellshaw... still at home in London. They discussed... Novak Djokovic exacted revenge on Carlos Alcaraz on Sunday and ‘completes tennis' with Olympic gold. He is just the fifth player to complete the career golden slam, joining Andre Agassi, Rafael Nadal, Steffi Graf and Serena Williams and first man to win gold without dropping a set, although it was pretty close in the final. Zheng Qinwen became the surprise women's champion, beating in-form Donna Vekic. Zheng had an eventful tournament: she retired Angelique Kerber, ended Iga Swiatek's Roland Garros winning streak and had a fall-out with Emma Navarro after which it became clear that basically no-one seems to like her. Iga Swiatek barely spoke after semi-final defeat to Zheng, says she cried for about six hours after defeat but did come back to win bronze. Andy Murray's career is finally over, beaten by Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the Olmypic men's doubles.

My guests on this episode are Tanya Bevington, Head of Communications for IKEA Canada, and Anthony Chelvanathan, Chief Creative Officer at Edelman Canada. They discuss the insights and unique creative partnership behind Ikea Canada's clever and brilliant "Second-Hand Tax (SHT) is Happening" campaign.The brand discovered recently that in Canada, there is a 'harmonized sales tax' (HST) added to sales receipts for resold items, meaning second-hand purchases are taxed twice. Ontario, where the most Canadian IKEA stores are located for instance, has one of the highest HST rates in the country at a whopping 13%. Recognizing that this tax structure actually discourages circular shopping, and with affordability and sustainability at the core of their brand, IKEA has launched 'Second-Hand Tax (SHT) is Happening'. The SHT initiative introduces a counteracting –13% tax for second-hand items purchased from IKEA's "As is" section, the retailer's sell-back and buy-back category located in every store and online. Effectively eliminating the double tax on second-hand items, the SHT tax is designed to raise awareness for this issue, which unfairly places the burden of action on retailers. Nearly every tax-paying country in the world has a similar sales tax structure in place. Sign the petition at change.org so that all Canadians can shop circular for less, for good. About TanyaTanya Bevington: Tanya Bevington is head of Communications for IKEA Canada, a world's leading home furnishing retailer.

Serena Williams says she will retire after the US Open, announcing in a long letter to the tennis world in Vogue that she's “evolving” away from tennis and will focus now on expanding her family and her business Serena Ventures. What's been her impact on the game? What's her legacy? Where does she rank among the greatest of all-time? And what about her clash with Emma Raducanu? Simona Halep is back in the top 10 after winning Rogers Cup beating Zhang, Teichmann, Gauff, Pegula and then Haddad Maia in the final. How much credit should her coach Patrick Mouratoglou be getting? There was a first Masters 1000 title for Pablo Carreno Busta. Is he the most underrated player on tour? Carlos Alcaraz lost to Tommy Paul from a commanding position and spoke about feeling the pressure afterwards. Are we concerned about his US Open chances? Jack Draper beat Stefanos Tsitsipas for the biggest win of his career and a place on the cusp of the top 50. What do we think his ceiling is? Nick Kyrgios beat Daniil Medvedev. Does this change our perspective on Kyrgios's chances at US Open? Dan Evans reached the semis and lost doubles final. After a big week for him, is there any sense that this US Open is last-chance-saloon in terms of having a serious chance of going deep in a grand slam? Andy Murray is set to take on Cam Norrie in Cincinnati, who wins? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, and raised in Oakville, Ontario, Evanka Osmak is best known for her work at Rogers Sportsnet in Toronto. A career in sports television was not part of her initial plan, though...She graduated with a Civil Engineering degree from Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario.

She's been back home in Toronto at Sportsnet ever since 2007 covering everything from the Toronto Blue Jays return to the playoffs in 2015, the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and reporting court side at the Rogers Cup.Catch Evanka weekday evenings on Sportsnet Central along with her co-anchor, Ken Reid and find out more about her work below.

"Comedy is in a way a lot like tennis. You’re by yourself, you’re thinking through a lot of things. If you have a great gig you feel amazing, if you have a terrible gig it’s like taking a hard loss." It's a hilarious episode this week with comedian Elliot Loney. The Australian unleashes some of his best impersonations, which include Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Jim Courier. Loney grew up playing tennis and even chased the pro dream before a skateboarding accident ruined his chances. He got into comedy quite naturally, starting with prank calls to his friends, breaking through with his Bear Grylls video "Man vs Metro 1" and progressing to stand-up. He puts a personalized spin on each impersonation, which is why he wears a sideways hat for Kyrgios and adds poetry to his Nadal skits. He's even met Nadal, quite memorably at the Rogers Cup one year. His YouTube channel boasts a lot of his best work, including a recently launched podcast. He shares how he became friends with Thanasi Kokkinakis and Nick Kyrgios, what the secret to a good impersonation is, and how tennis' ups and downs are similar to comedy.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit einer zweigeteilten Sendung. Andreas und Philipp blicken in dieser Sendung auf ihren ATP und WTA Draft aus dem August 2017 beziehungsweise dem März 2018. Die ersten kleinen Turniere sind geplant Doch zuerst geht es mit den Neuigkeiten los, denn auch in diesen Corona-bewegten Zeiten tut sich etwas. In den letzten Tagen gab es immer wieder konkrete Vorschläge und Konzepte, wie das Tennis zwar nicht zur Normalität zurückkehren könnte, dafür aber doch in einer lokalen und/oder regionalen Variante wieder an Schwung gewinnen könnte. Es gab jedoch auch weitere Absagen zu vermelden, so werden 2020 der Laver Cup wie auch der Rogers Cup (in der Damenvariante) nicht stattfinden. Die US Open wollen eine Entscheidung im Juni treffen. Um diese spielfreie Zeit zu überbrücken, gibt es Bestrebungen von Novak Djokovic mit Unterstützung anderer Spitzenspieler eine Nothilfe für die zwischen 250 und 700 gerankten Spieler zur Verfügung zu stellen. ...

Loser Akash, a young man from India A man police are only identifying as Akash received a BMW for his 22nd birthday… but pushed it into a river because it wasn't the Jaguar he had been hoping for, police claim. Villagers in Yamunanagar, in the northern state of Haryana, were shocked to see a pricey white BMW 3 Series sinking into the Western Yamuna Canal.
