Podcasts about rybakina

Ben and Tumaini are back together in New York, ready to break down the U.S. Open men's and women's draws, and all the stories therein. We discuss Sabalenka's struggles, Rybakina's chance at the No. 1 ranking, Gauff's resurgence, Noskova's (lack of) motivation, and more. On the men's side, we discuss Djokovic's great chances, what to expect from Alcaraz, Djokovic's great chances, both Tiafoe and Fils coming off their historic Cincinnati final, and more. We also talk a bit about the mixed doubles results, and our feelings about Nick Kyrgios after his positive cocaine test. Thank you for listening! You can read Ben's work at Bounces and Tumaini's at The Guardian. Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

Canadian Open 2026 Finals Preview!

Iga Swiatek vs Elena Rybakina — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the FINAL of the 2026 National Bank Open (WTA 1000 Canadian Open) in Toronto. Two of the biggest titles in the sport, a head-to-head locked at 6-6, and a rivalry that keeps refusing to settle.Iga Swiatek is into her first WTA final in nearly a year. The World No. 3 and six-time Grand Slam champion has been ruthless all fortnight — she needed just 64 minutes to sweep Diana Shnaider 6-2, 6-1 in the quarterfinals, then survived a genuine test from Elina Svitolina, coming through 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 for her first win over the Ukrainian in three meetings this season. After a period of questions about her level, this is the resurgence answered on court.Elena Rybakina has taken the hard road every single day. The No. 2 seed and reigning Australian Open champion rallied from 0-3 down in the third against Liudmila Samsonova, then came from a set down to beat Naomi Osaka 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 in a 2 hour 33 minute quarterfinal, and then dropped the opener again before running away with the semifinal against Coco Gauff 5-7, 6-2, 6-2. Three comebacks, one final. And with Aryna Sabalenka out of Toronto, the World No. 1 ranking has been hovering over her week.The head-to-head is one of the best in tennis: 6-6 after 12 meetings. Swiatek leads 4-3 on outdoor hard courts and won their only previous final, in Doha in 2024 — but Rybakina has taken the last two, most recently in the Australian Open quarterfinals in January. Who takes the Toronto title?

Cracked Racquets Editor-in-Chief Alex Gruskin recaps Tuesday's WTA and ATP action in Canada. He breaks down the all-college tennis lineup in Montreal, marvels at exceptional performances from Jodar and Shelton, offers his thoughts on another gutsy Rybakina victory, plus SO much more!! Episode Notes Jodar + Shelton separate from the pack - 4:55 Learner Tien...Tier 1 hard court guy? - 18:25 Nakashima reaches b2b SFs - 22:25 Rybakina survives + Gauff advances - 25:05 Laurel Springs Ranked among the best online private schools in the United States, Laurel Springs stands out when it comes to support, personalization, community, and college prep.

The semi-finals are set in Canada!

Finisce nei quarti di finale l'avventura di Luciano Darderi al National Bank Open di Montreal, sconfitto in due set da un solidissimo Brandon Nakashima. Lo statunitense affronterà in semifinale mercoledì Rafael Jodar, che ha regolato Arthur Fils dopo un primo set equilibrato. Nella parte bassa del tabellone si ritrovano in semifinale i due tennisti USA Ben Shelton (vincitore di Jakub Mensik) e Learner Tien (facile su Merida). Tutti e quattro i semifinalisti hanno un passato nei college.Vanni Gibertini e Luca Baldissera riassumono gli eventi dell'ultima giornata e rispondono alle domande degli ascoltatori. ---Anche per il 2026 ritorna il GoFundMe per le trasmissioni di Vanni Gibertini e Luca Baldissera. https://www.gofundme.com/f/close-call-dirette-e-trasferte-2026-luca-e-vanni

Coco Gauff vs Elena Rybakina — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for the SEMIFINAL at the 2026 National Bank Open (WTA 1000 Canadian Open) in Toronto. A rematch four years in the making, in the exact city where it started.Coco Gauff is into the Toronto semifinals for the FIRST TIME in her career, after three previous attempts that all ended in the quarterfinals. The World No. 4, 31-12 on the season, moved through with a clinical 6-3, 6-1 win over teenage qualifier Alina Korneeva in the round of 16 — her 25th career WTA 1000 quarterfinal — and then received a walkover when No. 12 seed Belinda Bencic withdrew with a hip injury. She arrives fresh. That may matter enormously.Elena Rybakina does not arrive fresh, and it may not matter at all. The No. 2 seed and reigning Australian Open champion has ground her way here through back-to-back survival jobs: down 0-3 in the third to Liudmila Samsonova before winning 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, then a set down to Naomi Osaka in their first-ever meeting before taking it 4-6, 7-6(5), 6-4 across 2 hours and 33 minutes, firing 13 aces and saving four break points in the decider. With Aryna Sabalenka out of Toronto, the World No. 1 ranking is very much in play for her.The head-to-head? They have met exactly ONCE — right here in Toronto in 2022, where Gauff edged it in a third-set tiebreak. Four years on, both are completely different players. Who reaches the final?

Naomi Osaka vs Elena Rybakina — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their QUARTERFINAL at the 2026 National Bank Open (WTA 1000 Canadian Open) in Toronto. Two of the biggest hitters in the sport, meeting for the FIRST TIME ever, with the World No. 1 ranking hovering over the match.Naomi Osaka is playing her best tennis in years. The four-time Grand Slam champion and No. 11 seed has now won 13 of her last 15 completed matches, following her DC Open semifinal run in Washington with a spotless week in Toronto — she has not dropped a set. She beat Panna Udvardy 6-3, 6-4, crushed Elise Mertens 6-1, 6-2 in 71 minutes, and then silenced a sold-out home crowd by ending Leylah Fernandez 6-4, 6-4.Elena Rybakina is the No. 2 seed, the reigning Australian Open champion, and the form player on hard courts on the entire tour — 42 wins in her last 50 hard-court matches and 24-5 in 2026. With Aryna Sabalenka out of Toronto, Rybakina is now within touching distance of the World No. 1 ranking, though she's playing it down: "a lot of matches I gotta win." She needed every bit of her fight to get here, coming back from 0-3 and two breaks down in the deciding set to beat Liudmila Samsonova 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.They have never played a competitive match — only two practice sessions, in Australia and at Roland-Garros. Two of the purest ball-strikers in the game, no head-to-head, and a No. 1 ranking in the background. Who reaches the semifinals?

Cracked Racquets Editor-in-Chief Alex Gruskin recaps a wacky Wednesday in Canada. He offers his thoughts on upsets of Zverev, Medvedev, Cobolli, and Fritz in Montreal. He also breaks down exceptional performances from Korneeva, Samsonova, and McNally, previews his favorite Round 3 matchups, plus SO much more!! Episode Notes Zverev + Medvedev + Cobolli + Fritz knocked out - 2:30 Korneeva, Samsonova, McNally, Joint - 16:00 Fils, Mensik, Jodar, Tien, Fonseca - 26:00 Sabalenka, Rybakina, Swiatek, Gauff - 32:30 Best R3 Women's Matchups - 36:25 Best R3 Men's Matchups - 39:15 Laurel Springs Ranked among the best online private schools in the United States, Laurel Springs stands out when it comes to support, personalization, community, and college prep.

Catherine, David and Matt were live after a couple of late night five-setters as Grigor Dimitrov's feel good run went on and Alexander Bublik ended Frances Tiafoe's hopes. How much regret will Tiafoe have after failing to take any of his nine set points in the third? And just how far can Dimitrov go? It was also a huge day in the women's draw as former champions Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina were both beaten. We discuss Alexandra Eala's extraordinary performance to beat Swiatek and the impact of her win in The Philippines, as well as Elise Mertens holding her nerve to beat Rybakina. Who can capitalise the most from those upsets? In part two we cover the rest of the day's results, including Madison Keys beating Amanda Anisimova in her first match on Centre Court, Flavio Cobolli winning despite losing a 6-0 opening set, Arthur Fery's fifth set tiebreak win over Zizou Bergs to keep British interest alive, and Marta Kostyuk's best ever run on grass.

Back from our first trip to Roland-Garros, here is part 2 of our RG mid-tournament wrap, this one focusing on the tennis we saw, the happenings on-site, and how the chaotic first week played out more broadly. What's it like to watch a tournament unfold in person while it's already being branded online as chaotic and/or horrible? Well, sometimes your priority is just your next water refill. We'll tell you about players we sought out (Swiatek, Rybakina, Medvedev, Vacherot, Jodar, Tiafoe, and more). We'll take you through the experience of watching Naomi Osaka's walkout and the surreal collapse of Jannik Sinner as it unfolded on Chatrier. As we always do, we'll dip into the messier moments, like the Korpatsch-Wang dust-up, the monumental PR stumbles of Rafa Jodar, and Vallejo's misogynistic bag-fumbling. What a week in Paris; it promises to get weirder before the fortnight is out.      1:00 Nothing new under the sun: Wang pulls a Hingis '99 7:10 She's taking it! Oh – actually, no, sorry 15:25 Iga Swiatek out to Kostyuk 23:10 Telling stories about players and matches we saw: Vacherot, Rybakina, Keys, and more  38:35 Rafa Jodar exonerated, sort of 46:50 Naomi's debut on Lenglen 50:40 James, are you happy to be in Paris?  62:35 Being in Chatrier for the Sinner upset  73:10 Are we all amateur geneticists now?  80:45 These f—ing tarpaulins and Lacoste bollards! 85:25 Wrapping up the draw as it stands

João Fonseca produces an incredible comeback win at Roland Garros 2026 to set up a blockbuster clash with Novak Djokovic, while Elena Rybakina is OUT after a shock defeat in Paris. Iga Swiatek continues her Roland Garros campaign with another strong win, Djokovic moves through, Jakub Mensik survives a brutal five-set battle, and Alexander Zverev cruises into the next round. In this Roland Garros 2026 reaction, we break down all the biggest French Open results from today, including Fonseca's comeback against Dino Prizmic, Djokovic's win over Valentin Royer, Rybakina's upset loss to Yuliia Starodubtseva, Iga Swiatek beating Sara Bejlek, Mensik's dramatic win over Mariano Navone, Rafael Jódar's impressive run continuing, and Zverev's dominant performance against Tomas Machac. We also discuss what Djokovic vs Fonseca could look like in the next round, whether Iga Swiatek is becoming the favourite again in Paris, what went wrong for Rybakina, and which young stars are making a statement at the French Open. Who was the biggest story of the day at Roland Garros 2026? Fonseca's comeback? Rybakina losing? Djokovic winning? Iga Swiatek looking strong? Or Mensik surviving an epic? ❤️ SUBSCRIBE TO GTL: https://bit.ly/35JyOhz ▶️ JOIN YOUTUBE MEMBERSHIP: https://bit.ly/3Fk9rSr

Catherine, David and Matt convene at the end of a quite crazy day at Roland Garros, headlined by Elena Rybakina's defeat in a final set tiebreak.Part one - Women's results. This was a very good day for Iga Swiatek, right? She beat Sara Bejlek, Jelena Ostapenko lost to Magda Linette, and Rybakina was beaten by Yulia Starodubtseva. We discuss all of those matches and their ramifications. Does this propel Swiatek to title favourite? Elsewhere, we cover a devastating injury for Hailey Baptiste, a sad exit for Jasmine Paolini, and some spectacular, no-notes aggro between Tamara Korpatsch and Wang Xinyu.Part two - Men's results (27:24). We get stuck into all things Novak Djokovic - his enthralling win over Valentin Royer in almost four hours beneath the blazing hot sun and his punchy press conference afterwards. How much will this match have taken out of him and what could it mean for his tournament? In the next round he'll face Joao Fonseca who came back from two sets down to beat Dino Prizmic. There's also some distressing Jakub Mensik scenes, a crazy story about Alejandro Davidovich Fokina being abandoned by his coach, and a big reunion between David and the Drop Shot Dragon.Part three - Mousquetaire of the day and Day 5 Order of Play (1:00:25)Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Jakub Mensik survives an absolute clay-court war — and nearly collapses afterward — while João Fonseca continues his breakout run to book a blockbuster showdown with Novak Djokovic.

John, Sam, and Stevie officially enter Roland-Garros mode, where one question takes over the entire men's draw: can anyone stop Jannik Sinner? The guys make their picks, debate why Novak Djokovic somehow keeps showing up near the top of the odds board, throw out dark horses, and come up with increasingly ridiculous theories for how Sinner could actually lose.On the women's side, nobody agrees on anything. Iga, Sabalenka, Coco, Rybakina — the board turns into complete chaos as the guys make title picks, argue over who's being underrated, and try to figure out whether taking “the field” might be the safest bet.Plus: Most Beautiful Courts returns with absurd tennis postcard locations, and things completely derail during an overrated TV show draft featuring Yellowstone, Friends, Stranger Things, airport breakfast outrage, and several takes that may age worse than the Roland-Garros predictions.--French Open Bracket Draw is now live!

They revisit their years on the circuit: the intense training, the competitiveness, and the loneliness of tennis.

Today, Schiavone is fully active in the game, running her Schiavone Team Lab academy near Milan and coaching 18-year-old one-handed backhand talent Lilli Tagger, who she believes has Grand Slam potential.  Kim also discusses her Roland Garros favorites for 2026, making a strong case for why Rybakina belongs in the conversation alongside Sabalenka and Coco Gauff. She breaks down Ben Shelton's serve variety and why it's becoming a weapon even on clay, and reacts to a 19-year-old qualifier stunning everyone at her very first WTA tour event.  Welcome to Love All!

Arthur Fils caps his successful comeback to the tour with the Barcelona crown, while official tennis outlets act h-word on main while they trade on his good looks. Ben Shelton wins his first clay title outside of Texas and marks a surprising milestone for US men. Clay queens Coco and Iga are down bad while Elena, Karolina, and Marta soar; and Carlos' status is questionable for who knows how long. Finally, we talk about the news that interests me most: Marketa Vondrousova has been charged with refusing to give a sample to a doping control officer. Her social media posts about the incident provide interesting context but – as we've seen before – could come back to bite.  2:15 Arthur Fils is the truth! 8:55 Rybakina wins Stuttgart again, Muchova exorcises some demons 14:00 Join Elena's crypto community …  18:35 Ben Shelton, American king of clay? 26:35 Vondrousova's case 37:40 James talks about books and takes another quiz!

Jannik Sinner wins the Sunshine Double without losing a set – a first! – and upends the mini-narrative that said Carlos was running away with the season. Aryna Sabalenka, for her part, snatches back momentum in the Rybakina rivalry and bests bugaboo Coco Gauff in the Miami final. The actual star of Miami turned out to be thirst magnet Arthur Fils, who reached the semis, stunned four-match-point-haver Tommy Paul, and broke containment. We've also got: close reading a tweet about the IOC's new gender policy; the Charleston draw and prize money increase; and the WTA Finals' departure from Saudi Arabia. 2:30 Sinner's win reminds the tennis world to chill with the proclamations 9:55 Sabalenka keeps her head on straight for the final 18:35 Coco's hat: saying nothing was always an option!   26:35 Arthur Fils breaks out in a big way; a thick way, even 33:30 Charleston increases prize money to match the ATP 500 level 37:50 IOC's announcement on trans athletes and what it has to do with Wertheim and Navratilova 46:00 What is holding you back from buying a yacht?  47:45 Listener question: which tennis player would you go on vacation with?

Indian Wells saw two new champs settling old scores – Sabalenka winning her first and upending a  worrying finals trend vs. Rybakina, and Sinner flying under the radar to grab the title over the more headline-grabbing Medvedev. Daniil has managed to refashion his game without losing the old antics, including asking for (and getting) a confounding hindrance call – and no, I don't feel bad for Jack. We talk about Mirra's crashout, IW misplacing the Venus-Leylah wild card, my certified hater status, and Iga's trajectory.
