Podcast appearances and mentions of Roland Garros

Episode: 3411 Roland Garros: Airplane pioneer, inventor, and almost combat air ace.  Today, meet Roland Garros.

O padel vem conquistando cada vez mais adeptos na França. A modalidade seduz tanto iniciantes quanto atletas experientes e o Paris Major, campeonato internacional do esporte realizado nas quadras de Roland Garros realizado em setembro, atrai milhares de espectadores. Renan Tolentino, da RFI em Paris Raquetes à mão, quadra e uma bolinha verde que vai e vem sem parar por cima da rede. Esta poderia ser perfeitamente a descrição de uma partida de tênis, mas é do padel que estamos falando. O esporte vem se tornando cada vez mais popular na Europa e, principalmente, na França, onde conta hoje com mais de 850 mil praticantes, entre famosos e anônimos, segundo números da Federação Francesa de Tênis, responsável pela modalidade no país. Para os amantes desse esporte, os motivos para essa popularidade recente e crescente são variados. Atletas amadores ouvidos pela RFI classificam a modalidade, praticada em duplas, como "divertida", "lúdica", "convivial" e "desafiadora". No caso do agente imobiliário Philippe, de 27 anos, o padel começou como uma paixão, que foi aos poucos tomando o lugar do tênis na sua vida, e acabou virando também um negócio, o motivando a abrir um clube da modalidade. “Eu jogo há seis anos. Comecei a praticar porque é divertido. Antes, eu jogava tênis, mas aos poucos fui mudando para o padel porque é bem mais lúdico e eu posso jogar com meus amigos”, conta. Já para a escrivã e atleta amadora Aurélie, de 42 anos, o que mais a atrai é a acessibilidade e o espírito comunitário da modalidade. “Eu jogo há dois anos, mais ou menos. Comecei por influência do meu marido, que já praticava há mais tempo. E, quando a gente abriu quadras de padel no nosso clube, eu entrei de cabeça”. Além da acessibilidade, Aurélie destaca outros fatores que, na visão de um amante da modalidade, podem ter contribuído para tornar o padel um esporte cada vez mais popular. “O aspecto convivial do padel (praticado em dupla) também atrai as pessoas, ajudando a criar uma comunidade em torno do esporte”, resume. “Ao meu ver, é um esporte muito prazeroso, que promove boas interações. Também é muito desafiador, faz a gente pensar, principalmente quando queremos progredir. Mesmo que pareça simples, à primeira vista”, opina a escrivã e atleta amadora francesa.  Roland Garros e celebridades se rendem ao padel Aurélie e Philippe estão entre os mais de 81 mil espectadores que acompanharam o Paris Major, campeonato internacional de padel realizado no mês de setembro na capital francesa. Desde 2022, o torneio ocupa nada menos que Roland Garros, um dos maiores templos do tênis. Um indicativo do patamar que a modalidade vem alcançando na França e no cenário internacional. “Aqui na França, por exemplo, o padel está vinculado à Federação de Tênis. Quando a gente chega aqui em Roland Garros, é incrível ver estes jogadores e jogadoras nestas quadras históricas. Penso que isso é só o começo”, opina Philippe. “Acredito que a popularidade desse esporte se deve justamente a isso, ao fato de ele ser hiperlúdico e divertido, todos podem jogar, mesmo sendo uma pessoa iniciante. Com uma hora de prática, é possível evoluir bastante, principalmente, se compararmos com o tênis, que é um esporte mais difícil [para se evoluir]. Para mim, é isso que faz o padel crescer no mundo todo”, acrescenta. Criado no México, no fim da década de 1960, o padel atrai hoje adeptos de diferentes idades e perfis. Anônimos e famosos estão entre os mais 850 mil praticantes na França, como Zinedine Zidane, lenda do futebol e hoje treinador da seleção francesa. Os jogadores do PSG, Ferran Torres e Fabián Ruiz, por exemplo, estiveram em Roland Garros para prestigiar o Paris Major, ao lado de Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, presidente do clube. Em uma breve entrevista à Federação Internacional de Padel durante o torneio, Ferran disse que gosta de praticar o esporte nos seus momentos de lazer: “Não tenho muito tempo, mas sempre que posso eu jogo padel”, revelou. Semelhanças e diferenças com o tênis Para receber o Paris Major, as quadras de Roland Garros foram adaptadas, sendo cercadas com paredes de vidro nos fundos e grades nas laterais, formando uma espécie de caixa em volta. Assim é uma quadra de padel, no qual, diferentemente do tênis, a bola só sai se ultrapassar essas paredes, de 4 metros de altura. Os duelos são sempre em duplas. Os pontos são marcados quando a bolinha quica duas vezes no lado adversário ou quando ela sai do espaço confinado em volta da quadra. O que gera duelos dinâmicos, com vários rallyes, que ultrapassam muitas vezes os limites das paredes de vidro, algo permitido pela regra. O sistema de pontuação é semelhante ao do tênis, seguindo a sequência 15/30/40 e Game. Para fechar um set, é preciso fazer seis games. A dupla que ganhar dois sets primeiro vence a partida. França se inspira na Espanha No Paris Major em Roland Garros, as duplas eram formadas por atletas de diferentes países. No entanto, apesar de ter sido realizado na França, os espanhóis reinaram no torneio. Jovem promessa da Espanha, Martina Calvo, de apenas 18 anos, acredita que o segredo do sucesso de seu país no padel está principalmente no trabalho de base que a federação nacional faz desde cedo com os atletas iniciantes. “Para mim, está muito claro por que há tantos jogadores espanhóis se saindo bem. Isso é consequência da estrutura que temos desde as divisões de base, pelo circuito de jovens jogadores que temos, com cinco ou seis categorias, formando atletas desde criança, com nove, dez anos. É muito bom que a federação espanhola dê a eles a possibilidade de poder competir a cada semana, fazendo-os buscar novos objetivos sempre. As competições te fazem evoluir muito”, avalia. Martina Calvo e sua dupla, Claudia Fernández, foram vice-campeãs do Paris Major, perdendo a final para Ari Sanchez e Andrea Ustero. Todas espanholas. Diante desse cenário, a França não quer ficar para trás. Para tentar se igualar a nível profissional, a federação nacional criou um centro de treinamento para atletas de elite, em 2025, e anunciou um investimento de € 85 milhões na modalidade. Com esses valores somados à paixão e interesse crescente dos fãs, o futuro do padel se mostra cada vez mais promissor na França e na Europa. Game, set e match… quem vence é o esporte.

Theater- en televisiemaker Plien van Bennekom en oud-tennisster Kiki Bertens zijn dit keer te gast op De Perstribune bij Margreet Reijntjes. Plien van Bennekom is theater- en televisiemaker. Samen met Bianca Krijgsman vormt zij het succesvolle cabaretduo Plien & Bianca. Hun doorbraak kwam halverwege de jaren negentig met de absurde VPRO-serie Zaai, waarin ze als twee plattelandsmeisjes een cultstatus verwierven. Daarnaast bouwde ze een veelzijdige carrière op als actrice in films, series en televisieprogramma's. Momenteel is ze te zien als presentator van Heel Holland Bakt Kids, waarin jonge baktalenten de strijd met elkaar aangaan. Kiki Bertens is de succesvolste Nederlandse tennisster aller tijden: ze won meerdere grote internationale toernooien en speelde de halve finale van Roland Garros. Uiteindelijk bereikte ze de vierde plaats op de wereldranglijst. Ze was een gepassioneerde speelster die veel hinder ondervond van de druk die ze zichzelf oplegde. Toen ze stopte als tennisser werkte ze voor de tennisbond en assisteerde ze de captain van het Nederlandse ‘Billie Jean King-cup-team'. Sinds begin dit jaar is ze zelf de captain.

A full review of the 2026 US Open with one of the most respected voices in the sport: STEVE FLINK, International Tennis Hall of Famer and author of "The Greatest Tennis Matches of All Time" and "The Immortals of American Tennis."Steve has been covering this tournament since the early 1970s, when Bud Collins hired him to do research at Wimbledon and the US Open. He spent 17 years at World Tennis magazine and 15 more as senior writer at Tennis Week. There are very few people alive who can place a fortnight like this one in its proper historical context — so that's exactly what we did.WHAT WE COVERAlexander Zverev beat Ben Shelton 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 for his SECOND Grand Slam title — six years after leading Dominic Thiem by two sets in the 2020 final on this same court and losing. It caps a season with a maiden major at Roland-Garros, the Wimbledon final, and semifinals at all four Slams.Elena Rybakina beat Aryna Sabalenka 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 for her THIRD major and first US Open, denying the two-time defending champion a three-peat that would have made her the first woman to do it since SERENA WILLIAMS in 2012-14. Rybakina has now beaten Sabalenka in both 2026 Grand Slam finals and moves to World No. 1.And the American question Steve has written a book about. Ben Shelton became the first American man in a Grand Slam final since ANDY RODDICK IN 2003, the first Black American man in a US Open final since ARTHUR ASHE IN 1972, and the first in any major final since MaliVai Washington at Wimbledon in 1996 — and the drought now stretches to 23 years. We asked Steve where Shelton fits in that lineage, and what it will actually take.We also get into Shelton's 3:33 A.M. win over defending champion Carlos Alcaraz — the latest finish in US Open history — and where it ranks among great US Open matches; Novak Djokovic's first-round exit to Mariano Navone, his first opening-round Grand Slam loss in twenty years; Zheng Qinwen's run from qualifying to the quarterfinals; and what Jannik Sinner's absence meant for the draw.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 Intro – US Open 2026 review with Steve Flink00:40 Rybakina's US Open title run – injury doubts to champion07:50 Rybakina becomes World No. 1 – handling the pressure10:25 Rybakina vs Sabalenka final – the best servers in women's tennis13:00 Rybakina's net play, movement & improved tennis IQ17:00 Sabalenka's Grand Slam final record – what's next?20:10 Coco Gauff – serve improvements & semifinal run22:45 Jessica Pegula – is time running out for a first Slam?27:20 Linda Noskova – backing up Wimbledon vs Sabalenka28:35 Naomi Osaka's comeback – the 5-0 turnarounds31:10 Alexander Zverev wins the US Open – two Slams in 202633:10 Has Zverev's level improved, or was it the draw?41:35 Ben Shelton – beating Alcaraz, Tiafoe & first Slam final50:40 Novak Djokovic's first-round loss – is time catching up?57:10 Carlos Alcaraz's comeback after 4.5 months out61:05 Final thoughts & wrap-up- Mantis 10%: https://mantissport.com/qualityshot10 (At Checkout)- IM8 10% OFF: https://im8.go2cloud.org/aff_c?offer_id=26&aff_id=2077 (Code QST10 at Checkout)- Acemate: https://www.acematetennis.com?sca_ref=11586466.udoQ3GLV6m55xoG1&utm_source=uppromote&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=standard-affiliate-commission&utm_content=affiliate-QualityShot-Tennis---Copyright Disclaimer: Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Na 35 jaar topsport heeft rolstoeltennislegende Maikel Scheffers deze week bekendgemaakt zijn racket aan de wilgen te hangen. De voormalig nummer één van de wereld heeft een palmares waar toch menig sporter jaloers op zal zijn. Zo won hij in het enkelspel onder meer de Australian Open en Roland Garros, won in het dubbelspel alle vier de grandslamtoernooien en heeft thuis ook nog twee bronzen medailles liggen van de Paralympische Spelen. Gelukkig voor ons allemaal blijft zijn ervaring behouden, want waar hij al in dienst was van tennisbond KNLTB, is zijn contract verlengd en worden zijn werkzaamheden uitgebreid. We gingen er met Maikel over in gesprek. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Alexander Zverev, who was twice accused of domestic violence against two of his former girlfriends, never seemed too likely to win a major title. Three time had he come to a final, three times he was denied, each time getting worse defeats. Now with Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz reaching new heights in the game, playing at a level completely different from anything seen before, it would take nothing short of a miracle for Zverev to win a title.And Zverev got not one, but two such miracles. After winning the most fallen apart draw ever at Roland Garros, Jannik Sinner pulled out of the US Open due to a knee injury and Carlos Alcaraz played his first tournament since coming back from a four-month absence due a wrist injury, and his rust showed against Ben Shelton in an epic 5-setter of a quarterfinal. And so, Zverev once again took advantage of one of the easiest draws in Grand Slam history.Now No.1 in the race, Zverev has not beaten Alcaraz since 2024, and Sinner since 2023. He has only two Top 10 wins in 2026, less than some 30 players. What a weird year in the men's tour. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Na twee weken toptennis is ook de laatste grandslam van het jaar een feit. In Flushing Meadows won Elena Rybakina zaterdag, net als in de Australian Open, van Aryna Sabalenka en Alexander Zverev stak zondag in vier sets een stokje voor de Amerikaanse droom van de eerste thuistitel sinds 2003, door zich van Ben Shelton te ontdoen. Nederlands succes was er ook, want rolstoeltennisser Niels Vink pakt zijn historische 'calender slam' door dit jaar na de Australian Open, Roland Garros en Wimbledon nu ook de US Open te winnen. We spraken erover met Jon Visbeen van TENNiS Magazine. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

I picked Ben Shelton. I was wrong. Alexander Zverev beat him 6-3, 7-6(2), 5-7, 6-2 to win the 2026 US OPEN — his second Grand Slam title, and another year where American men's wait goes on. Full post-match analysis and an honest look at what I got wrong.Zverev was ruthless from the start. He took the opening set 6-3, then won the tiebreak 7-2 to move two sets clear, and even when Shelton found a way back to take the third 7-5 on Arthur Ashe with the crowd roaring, the German simply reset and closed it out 6-2. It's the completion of a redemption arc six years in the making: Zverev was a US Open finalist in 2020, when he led Dominic Thiem by two sets and lost.It caps the best season of his career. He broke through at ROLAND-GARROS this year for his first major, reached the WIMBLEDON FINAL, and made at least the semifinals at ALL FOUR Grand Slams in 2026. He was elevated to top seed here after Jannik Sinner withdrew with a knee injury, and he justified it without ever really being troubled.For Ben Shelton, it's the end of an extraordinary fortnight that still ends in heartbreak. He dethroned defending champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-7(5), 6-1, 6-3, 1-6, 7-6(10-7) in a five-set classic that finished at 3:33 A.M. — the latest finish in US Open history — then beat Frances Tiafoe in an all-American semifinal to become the first American man in a Grand Slam final since ANDY RODDICK IN 2003, and the first Black American man in a US Open final since ARTHUR ASHE IN 1972. The drought he was trying to end now stretches to 23 YEARS.And the head-to-head held: Zverev is now 6-0 against Shelton, having taken 13 of the 15 sets they have played. That was the thing I underweighted in my prediction, and I explain exactly why in this video.In this video: set-by-set breakdown, the tiebreak that decided it, where Shelton's third-set revival came from and why it didn't hold, what I got wrong in my preview, and what comes next for both players.

La réponse se trouve dans le titre ! "Match", comme on appelle généralement ce journal, était à l'origine un magazine de sport, créé en 1926.

He played cricket and rugby league in his youth and was very active sports-wise. At around 16 years of age he was introduced to tennis, got hooked by its international status, and around the same time watched films about the Olympics, becoming attracted to the storytelling. He fell into sports broadcasting and never looked back. As a TV producer with more than 25 years' experience, he covered some of the world's biggest sporting events, including seven FIFA World Cups, four Olympic Games, 19 Roland Garros tournaments, 17 Australian Opens, World Figure Skating Championships, and countless international sports broadcasts, working alongside many of the world's greatest athletes. On the faith side, not only has he been to the Vatican three times, but four years ago he went to the Holy Land and made a film about it that even includes tennis star Serena Williams.

For one last time at Wimbledon in 2026, Catherine, David and Matt were live on YouTube to react to Jannik Sinner beating Alexander Zverev 6-7 7-6 6-3 6-4 to defend his title at SW19. We discuss the way Zverev hit his forehand better than ever to take a one set lead, how Sinner stayed calm to raise his game and level up, and the final two sets which saw the Italian take charge. Should Zverev take the positives from pushing Sinner more than he has done in a while? Or will the fact he still fell short mean this one stings just as much? As for Sinner, we cover the importance of this title for his career as he bounced back from such disappointment at Roland Garros, and what the next few months could look like for him as Carlos Alcaraz's future remains uncertain. We also round up the day's other results, reflect on the tournament as a whole, and say lots of big thank yous as our Wimbledon coverage concludes for another year.
