La presse européenne se fait l'écho de cette réunion de la coalition des volontaires. À Rome, La Repubblica lance un appel au renforcement de la défense européenne et aux livraisons d'armes à l'Ukraine. « Sans soutien militaire à Kiev, appeler à une initiative diplomatique européenne devient lassant », s'insurge le quotidien, avant de poursuivre : « Le soutien militaire et la diplomatie doivent et vont aller de pair : une simple interruption de l'aide militaire rapprocherait encore davantage le risque de guerre en Europe. » Alors que la coalition des volontaires se réunit donc à Paris, le Financial Times, à Londres, révèle ce matin que l'Europe a importé au premier semestre une quantité record de gaz naturel liquéfié russe en provenance d'une installation en Sibérie. Des livraisons pour près de « 6 milliards d'euros » selon le journal. À Madrid, El Pais choisit de donner la parole à l'un de ses journalistes dans un long article. Un texte très personnel, dans lequel Cristian Segura raconte ses longs mois passés sur le terrain, en Ukraine, la pneumonie qu'il a contractée, les chiens rendus fous par les bombes, son stress post-traumatique. Il écrit : « La Russie est en train de perdre la guerre, l'Ukraine ne la gagne qu'à moitié ». « Les arguments en faveur d'une défaite russe en 2026 se multiplient », avance le journaliste. Mais si l'Ukraine « a bâti l'une des armées les plus puissantes du monde » selon lui, Kiev est aussi perdant. D'abord car son déclin démographique est considérable, mais aussi, peut-on lire dans les colonnes d'El Pais, car « le conflit risque de s'enliser ». Et le quotidien de poursuivre : « La Russie est en train de perdre la guerre, mais sa volonté de démanteler l'UE persistera. » À lire aussiGuerre en Ukraine: la coalition des volontaires réunie en sommet à Paris Reprise des hostilités au Moyen-Orient « Téhéran avait un plan pour étouffer l'économie mondiale et survivre. Trump, lui, n'avait aucun plan concret ». Voilà le constat dressé dans les colonnes de Bloomberg. Le média économique tacle violemment la stratégie du président américain, évoquant une « asymétrie des compétences stratégiques » avec l'Iran. « Si l'Iran a perdu la bataille militaire, écrit le titre, il a remporté la victoire en matière de coercition économique » avec la fermeture d'Ormuz. Le New York Times revient lui sur l'échec de Donald Trump à « sécuriser le détroit ». Les derniers développements du conflit « ne sont que le résultat prévisible de l'accord-cadre signé en juin » commentent des analystes américains dans le quotidien. L'un d'entre eux résume la situation ainsi : « la question désormais est celle-ci : qui de l'économie iranienne ou de l'économie mondiale craquera la première ? » Le Guardian, à Londres, s'inquiète de son côté de la crise humanitaire engendrée par le conflit, notamment son impact sur les exportations d'engrais, qui transitent par le détroit d'Ormuz. Et le quotidien de conclure : « Le reste du monde doit tenter de ramener les deux camps à la raison - ou en subir les conséquences ». À lire aussiMoyen-Orient: l'armée américaine annonce une nouvelle salve de frappes contre l'Iran Tennis : sublime victoire de Jannick Sinner à Wimbledon De quoi ravir la presse italienne. « Sinner est trop fort pour tout le monde » s'exclame le Corriere della Serra. « Son service est l'un des meilleurs de tous les temps et le plus beau, poursuit le quotidien, c'est qu'il a une marge de progression scandaleusement importante. » Dans le détail, l'Italien s'est donc imposé sur le gazon londonien en 4 sets face à l'Allemand Alexander Zverev. « Rarement on avait vu un tel Zverev sur un court » s'exclame L'Equipe, mais cela n'a pas suffi. Après être passé à côté de son Roland Garros il y a quelques semaines, l'Italien, « tel un Phoenix, renait de ses cendres », s'extasie le Corrierre della Serra.
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.

Wimbledon will have a nineth first-time champion in as many years. In the Semifinal line up, Coco Gauff and Karolina Muchova played what was possibly the match tie-break of the tournament, with some insane tension, volleys, defense, and even a choke.Muchova goes on to reach her second Grand Slam final, again saving match point, after she came back from 2-5 down in the third set vs Sabalenka at Roland Garros in 2023 - But I am sure Gauff will be back and possibly even win the title soon.Linda Noskova quitely making herself into one of the best grass court players of this generation, winning the Berlin title, and, in terms of consistency and form, is the actual favourite for the final. She was all but too powerful for Marta Kostyuk, who displayed some of the brilliance and fight that is awarding her the best season of her career, but couldn't maintain a balance between aggressive tennis and good shot selection.

Few know the business of tennis as well as Tony Godsick, the long-time agent of Roger Federer and one of the founding fathers of the Laver Cup. As preparations continue for the ninth edition of the North America versus Europe men's team event, at London's O2 Arena in September, he explains the rationale for creating the event, alongside Federer, and how its commercial performance is maturing.

It's been impossible to keep up with tennis news lately, with Serena's return, the grass season starting, and the top players continuing to pressure the Slams on prize money and consultation. We had too much on our Roland Garros wrap agenda, so here's the twin to episode 425. We talk about Serena's long-simmering “comeback,” the product tie-ins with Ro and Zepbound, and her successful doubles match with Canadian star Victoria Mboko. We also check in with the ongoing player response to prize money increases (as a proportion of tournament revenue) and what could come next. Finally, we give our unorganized thoughts on the Rafa doc, check in with a kind Reddit user, and give you a Knicks segment that is now -- thankfully -- a time capsule of life before Jalen Brunson was an MVP and NBA champion! 1:30 The "wildfire" … was warranted 11:30 Serena and Vicky ace their first (and only) test 23:10 Is this comeback meant to be a proof of concept for GLP-1 use? 33:10 Wimbledon prize money -- will the increase be enough for “Project Red Eye?” 40:00 Netflix's Rafa documentary was a somewhat harrowing experience 49:30 Admitting I was wrong is important! 52:40 A quick Knicks segment (now a time capsule)
Yes, we're finally back to recap the second week of Roland Garros. That thing we were all dreading has happened, and now we can move on with our lives. First, let's celebrate 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva for expertly managing this unfamiliar moment and bagging her first major; and the qualifier Maja Chwalinska, for reaching her first Slam final and storming into the top 25! As for the men, Madison Keys really clocked their tea when she said the men's anxiety over this opportunity was seeping into everyone's lives. A lot of the late-'90s generation allowed a huge opportunity to slip by, and we kind of felt bad for them. The uncomfortable truth is that That Guy is now a major champion – of a decimated field, to be sure – but a champion nonetheless, and broadcasters, tennis organizations, and sponsors might now have an even easier time avoiding and ignoring the credible domestic violence allegations against him. But try as he (and they) might, the attention isn't going away anytime soon. 4:00 Women's wrap: Maja, Maja 11:00 Things not to do on Bluesky 14:20 Mirra Andreeva joins the top tier 21:45 A lot of guys saw a massive opportunity slip by 27:15 So That Guy won. Now what 36:10 Journalists keeping that man uncomfortable 42:30 Good news! Siniakova/Townsend three-quarters of the way to a Team Career Slam

Rafa opens up about the difficult decision to allow cameras into his private world, the challenge of documenting injuries, family life, and retirement in real time, and why he ultimately trusted the filmmaking process. He also shares his perspective on watching Roland Garros from the outside, mentoring stars like Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Świątek, and what life looks like now beyond the tour.

This week on The Business of Watches, a brand we don't talk about a lot on this channel - Jacob & Co. Complicated, audacious, and expensive, Jacob & Co. watches hold a unique position in the industry. The brand enjoyed a strong 2025, growing sales and volumes, according to estimates by Morgan Stanley and LuxeConsult, bucking the industry trend. And the brand recently got some high-profile exposure on the wrist of the Roland Garros winner with French Open champion Alexander Zverev wearing Jacob & Co. during his matches and on the podium. We sat down in Geneva with Benjamin Arabov, the Chief Executive Officer of Jacob & Co., to talk about the brand's operations and strategy. You might be surprised at how Jacob & Co. watches are produced, the size of its production, and how the brand is being impacted by the war in the Middle East. Finally, looking ahead to next week's episode, number 30 in the history of The Business of Watches, we're planning a special Q&A episode and will gather some of the Hodinkee team, including Editor-In-Chief James Stacey and Editors Mark Kauzlarich and TanTan Wang, to answer your business-related questions.

RUNDOWN After 16 days across London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Florence, Mitch returns home exhausted, overfed, broke, and surprisingly fond of Berlin. He and Hotshot Scott break down the trip, from ranking Europe's biggest cities and comparing food cultures to discussing sightseeing fatigue, Segway tours, horseback riding in Tuscany, and the realization that his sons viewed the entire vacation very differently than he did. Fresh off his European adventure, Mitch quickly pivots back to the Mariners and a pitching situation that suddenly looks very different than it did a month ago. With the piggyback experiment shelved for now, the focus turns to Bryce Miller's dominant return to form, Luis Castillo's resurgence after being challenged, and whether Seattle's six-man rotation creates more opportunities than problems. The Mariners' series loss in Detroit quickly turns into a deeper conversation about Andrés Muñoz, whose recent struggles have Brady and Joe (Mariners No-Table) debating whether Seattle can continue treating him as an automatic ninth-inning option. The trio examines bullpen management, the challenges created by the six-man rotation, potential closer alternatives, and whether the trade deadline could force Jerry Dipoto to look for outside relief help. Steve Phillips hasn't jumped off the Mariners bandwagon despite an uneven first two months. He explains why Seattle's pitching depth, second-half track record, and a weak American League still make them a legitimate World Series contender, while also addressing growing concerns about Andrés Muñoz and potential bullpen fixes before the trade deadline. GUESTS Brady Farkas | Host, Refuse to Lose podcast Joe Doyle | MLB analyst, Over-Slot Steve Phillips | Former GM of New York Mets, MLB Network Analyst, SiriusXM host TABLE OF CONTENTS 0:00 | Mitch recaps a whirlwind European family vacation filled with unforgettable sights, culture shocks, and a chaotic front-row experience of Paris Saint-Germain's riot-filled Champions League celebration. 33:42 | The Mariners' pitching surplus is suddenly a good problem, as Bryce Miller's resurgence, Luis Castillo's rebound, and Cade Anderson's rise force Seattle to weigh rotation depth against potential trade-deadline opportunities. 45:28 | Mariners No-Table: The Mariners' bullpen concerns take center stage as Andrés Muñoz's struggles spark closer questions, but strong performances from Bryce Miller, Cole Young, and Colt Emerson help keep Seattle firmly atop the division. 1:09:42 | Steve Phillips: Steve Phillips still sees the Mariners as a legitimate World Series threat, with pitching depth, roster flexibility, and a weak American League outweighing bullpen concerns and lineup questions. 1:29:28 | Other Stuff Segment: Caitlin Clark illness during Commissioner's Cup game, Russell Wilson joining CBS, Russell Wilson Hall of Fame debate, Myles Garrett traded to Rams, Aaron Donald comeback speculation, Rams vs Seahawks offseason comparison, Nolan Teasley hired by Vikings, NFL minority hiring compensation picks, Madden NFL 27 cover featuring Caleb Williams, Brandon Roy and Garfield recruiting scandal, Eastside Catholic recruiting jokes, Nick Saban NIL criticism and congressional testimony, French Open champions Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva, Magda Linette Cinderella run at Roland-Garros.

The French Open is no stranger to accusations of sexism (see: rare night sessions for women). But Adolfo Daniel Vallejo decided to make it his legacy when he blamed a female umpire for his loss at Roland Garros. Luckily, the tournament organizers hit him where it hurts – his wallet.

Zach Heinzerling, the Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated director behind Netflix's new four-part documentary series Rafa. The series follows Rafael Nadal across the final year of his career, from his 2024 return through his retirement, while reaching back across two decades to tell the fuller story of one of the most decorated and most physically punished athletes in the history of tennis. The series goes beyond the 22 Grand Slams and 14 French Open titles to reveal what it cost to win them: a rare, incurable foot condition called Müller-Weiss syndrome, diagnosed when Rafa was just nineteen; years of aggressive medical intervention that left him with perforated intestines; and a 2022 Roland Garros run played on a foot deadened by nerve-blocking injections. For the first time on camera, Rafa removes his sock and shows the foot itself — an image he had guarded from the public for twenty years. The series also explores the formative role of his uncle and longtime coach Toni Nadal, whose tough-love methods shaped Rafa from the age of three; the anxiety and ritual beneath the on-court persona; and the rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic that defined a generation, including the now-famous Laver Cup farewell where Rafa and Federer sat side by side and wept. Featuring testimony from Federer, Djokovic, John McEnroe, and the family, coaches, and inner circle who have stood beside Nadal his entire career, Rafa is less a highlight reel than a portrait of a champion in negotiation with his own body — and an answer, or an attempt at one, to the question of why he kept playing long after that body told him to stop.
