Karolína Plíšková se snaží co nejlépe připravit na tenisové Australian Open, a v Melbourne jí v tom pomáhá jeden z nejrespektovanějších trenérů na ženském okruhu Sascha Bajin. Němec se srbskými kořeny dříve pracoval pro Američanku Serenu Williamsovou a později už jako hlavní kouč dovedl ke dvěma grandslamovým titulům Naomi Ósakovou. I proto je také hodně populární v Japonsku a právě o tom se teď Karolína Plíšková často přesvědčuje.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit den ersten Resultaten des Jahres. Doch bevor Andreas und Philipp beleuchten, was bei den ATP und WTA Turnieren in Delray Beach, Antalya und Abu Dhabi passierte, blicken sie erst einmal in Richtung Melbourne. Quarantäne-Ärger Dort sind die Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer der Australian Open mittlerweile in der Quarantäne angekommen. Für die einen beginnt damit eine Periode in der sie nur fünf Stunden am Tag zum Training aus dem Hotelzimmer dürfen. Viele der Spielerinnen und Spieler müssen hingegen sogar eine richtige Hotelquarantäne durchmachen. Denn auf einigen der Flüge, die die Spielenden nach Melbourne brachten, gab es positive Tests. Auch sonst halten die Australian Open einige Neuigkeiten bereit, inklusive der Liste an Spielerinnen und Spieler, die sich für das Hauptfeld qualifiziert haben. Sabalenka in Topform In der letzten Woche gab es zudem die ersten Siegerinnen und Sieger auf der Tour zu vermelden. In Abu Dhabi konnte Aryna Sabalenka ihre Siegesserie aus dem Herbst ausbauen und nach Ostrava und Linz auch hier gewinnen. Sie setzte sich dabei gegen die Überraschungsfinalistin Veronika Kudermetova durch. Auch das Halbfinale hatte mit Marta Kostyuk einen Überraschungsnamen zu bieten. Das Herrenturnier in Delray Beach konnte Hurbert Hurkacz für sich entscheiden. Der Pole gewann seinen zweiten Tour Titel im Finale gegen den jungen Amerikaner Sebastian Korda. Für eine Überraschung sorgte Christian Harrison. Der jüngere Bruder von Ryan Harrison galt einst als Talent wurde aber immer wieder durch Verletzungen zurückgeworfen und schaffte es hier als Qualifikant ins Halbfinale. In Antalya gewann abseits der Tennisöffentlichkeit Alex de Minaur im Finale gegen Alexandr Bublik. WTA veröffentlicht Kalender In den News blicken Andreas und Philipp auf den WTA Kalender der ersten Wochen. Zudem gab Dayana Yastremska im Herbst einen positiven Dopingtest ab, den sie nun öffentlich machte. Zu einem Ende gekommen ist die Zusammenarbeit von Alexander Zverev und David Ferrer. Das verkündete der ehemalige spanische Weltklassespieler.

В 2019 году украинка выиграла турниры WTA International в Хуахине и Страсбурге.

One of the premiere figures in the Beverly Hills tennis scene, TONY GRAHAM has lead an amazing tennis life. He came up in LA in the 1970s, honed his craft at UCLA, and turned pro during the sport's golden years where he played, practiced and paled around with legends like McEnroe, Connors, Borg, and the late Vitas Gerulaitis. At UCLA he got to the finals of the NCAA Championship. As a pro he beat Jimmy Arias and finalled Stowe. And when he wrapped up his pro career, he continued the tennis life, coaching and running the courts of the rich, famous and influential.  At one time, Tony was a coach at the Playboy Mansion. Now he facilitates at the super exclusive Executive Tennis Academy and runs the Beverly Hills Invitational. He also presides over one of the greatest tennis courts in the world, the infinity court at The Sheats-Goldstein Residence. On this episode, TONY GRAHAM divulges which former world #1 he pistol-whipped in a practice match while he was matriculated at UCLA . He also shares the story of how a country music superstar became his benefactor, flying him on his private jet to tennis tournaments around the world.  And finally, he lets us know which male American player he thinks will break into the top 10.

"Getting paid playing with Serena Williams on a daily basis, I don't care if it's in Palm Beach Gardens or a stadium, it doesn't get much than that." Sascha Bajin joined the TENNIS.com Podcast with Nina Pantic and Irina Falconi while he was in New York for the US Open. The 34-year-old has a decorated resume, having worked with Serena Williams, Victoria Azarenka, Caroline Wozniacki, Sloane Stephens, Naomi Osaka and now, Kristina Mladenovic.  The German reflects on how he got his start as a 21-year-old hitting partner for one of the greatest athletes of all time. He would be part of Serena's team for 13 of her 23 Grand Slam wins. He explains how he made the shift to coaching, as he was in Osaka's player box as her coach for her 2018 US Open and 2019 Australian Open victories. Coaching was a natural fit for him thanks to a selfless demeanor that makes him eager to help his player with everything and anything she needs, from picking up laundry to figuring out how to win a match during a changeover. The 2018 WTA Coach of the Year has come a long way, and he's driven to do even more in the months, and years, ahead.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On this week's episode, host Jon Wertheim talks with Sascha Bajin, current coach of Kristina Mladenovic and former coach of Naomi Osaka. After splitting from two-time Grand Slam champion Osaka in February, Bajin signed on with Mladenovic and he discusses the details of his coaching relationship with both players and the approach he takes in his role with different players. Wertheim and Bajin also discuss whether he would consider coaching a men's player; how he handles information when switching between different players; what he has learned from some of his former clients, such as Serena Williams and more. Bajin also talks about his forthcoming book, Strengthen Your Mind, which will be published in Japanese in July and details how he transformed Osaka's mindset and gives insight into his years working with Serena.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Ben and Courtney catch up on the happenings on the tours over the past couple months, which has been dominated by the story of no one dominating. What's to explain the spread of unique winners on both tours? And is the real story, perhaps, the youth movement? We discuss some of the more intriguing individual plotlines from this stretch as well, including Naomi Osaka splitting with her coach Sascha Bajin, how players like her will adjust to clay, Bianca Andreescu's mature breakout, and Denis Shapovalov's rapping and its reception. Then onto the older guard, we talk about Roger Federer's relaxed, low-stakes mood going into clay, and if that could ever be possible for Serena Williams to enjoy in her career. Then we discuss the problematic fave status of John Isner, the coup of ATP chief executive Chris Kermode, the new-look Miami Open, and the slumping Daria Kasatkina.  As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook (leave comments on the episode thread!

On the occasion of our Sesquicentennial, we thank all our listeners, both old and now, who have been along for the ride. We recap all the tennis news from the past two weeks and the winners on both tours: Bencic, Monfils, Opelka, Mertens, Cecchinato, Albot, Djere, Tstitsipas, and Van Uytvanck. We chat about the Osaka-Tsitsipas social media mess, as well as Naomi's words on her split with Sascha Bajin. Finally, we try to grapple with the mess that Martina Navratilova has gotten herself into.     03:26 Recapping a long list of winners the last fortnight 06:25 The dire Long Island Open gets a lift 13:52 Bend it like Bencic in Dubai, if you can! 20:14 Our Québécois fav busts out in Rio 27:44 Tsonga to miss Indian Wells due to Sickle Cell Trait 31:29 What in the hell was Stefanos thinking?! 36:47 Osaka talks Bajin breakup 45:18 Martina Navratilova and her controversial op-ed 68:55 Sometimes you need to call something by its name

In this episode of The Passing Shot, your tennis catch-up podcast, Joel & Kim look back on what has been a jam-packed last couple of weeks in the tennis season. On the WTA side, we discuss all the major events going on at the back-to-back Premiers in Doha and Dubai whilst on the ATP circuit we cover the 500s in Rotterdam and Rio as well as all the 250s in Europe and South America. Elsewhere, we have a look at what's been a very productive week for Dan Evans in Del Ray whilst we get our heads around the surprise split between Naomi Osaka and her coach Sascha Bajin, the current debate surrounding the newly reformed ITF World Tennis Tour and what records were broken at the New York Open (clue: it involves serving and John Isner).

On this week's Serve and Volley, Nick Hilton and Pavel Linshits are back to discuss the last week in tennis and a couple of juicy controversial subjects. THE BASELINE: starting with Gael Monfils' win in Rotterdam and taking in Dan Evans' run in Delray Beach and Naomi Osaka's break with coach Sascha Bajin. BACKHANDED COMPLIMENTS: This week we're looking at Nick Kyrgios. One of the games most exciting players or a squandered talent? COURTING CONTROVERSY: Is the Davis Cup revamp a good or bad thing? Has Gerard Pique ruined tennis? This is a Podot podcast, visit podotpods.com for more and email nick@podotpods.com for sales and advertising. Presented by Nick Hilton and Pavel Linshits. Produced by Nick Hilton.

Three and a half years after an extraordinary title run in Toronto, Belinda Bencic has produced another one, this time in Dubai. On The Tennis Podcast, Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts discuss what makes Bencic such a brilliant player, and wonder whether she can start producing these exceptional weeks more often. Elsewhere in Dubai, Naomi Osaka lost her first match without Sascha Bajin and afterwards gave an emotional press conference. Is there cause for concern? Or are we just not used to a player being so in touch with their emotions? And who might her next coach be? David has a hunch...On the men’s side, Dan Evans came so close to winning his first title, but fell short against Radu Albot in Delray Beach. What made it such a fun match to watch? And how much can Evans achieve this year? In Rio, Felix Auger-Aliassime made his move by reaching the final. Why is he being tipped for stardom? And tribute is paid to the victorious Laslo Djere, who has tragically lost both of his parents to cancer. Finally, Stefanos Tsitsipas won his second career title in Marseille. How significant is it that he’s backing up his form from Australia?

This week on the Lucky Letcord Podcast Richard Pagliaro joins to talk about Naomi Osaka's stunning split with coach Sascha Bajin. He believes that the sky is not falling for the World No.1. We also discuss the impressive title run of Gael Monfils at Rotterdam while also making a point not to overlook the notable performances put in by Stan Wawrinka and Kei Nishikori. We take a peek at the latin swing and admit that we are both mightily impressed by Marco Cecchinato's clay-court game. And we wonder how good American Reilly Opelka might become as we discuss his breakthrough title at the New York Open. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After a few weeks apart, David Law, Catherine Whitaker and Matt Roberts are back together on this week’s podcast, and the only place to start is Naomi Osaka’s split with Sascha Bajin. What could be the reasons behind it ? Should we have seen it coming? And how important is it that she’s prioritising her mental health over her on court success? On a similar theme, is Simona Halep on a mission to prove she can win big without a coach? Her trial period with Thierry Van Cleemput was unsuccessful, but she still reached the final in Doha. What makes her conqueror Elise Mertens such a brilliant player? Elsewhere, the biggest men’s results from the past fortnight are discussed. How good could New York Open champion Reilly Opelka become? What makes Stan Wawrinka’s return to form so uplifting? Will Gael Monfils kick on from his win in Rotterdam? And why should we be paying close attention to the form of Daniil Medvedev? The Tennis Podcast will be weekly throughout 2019 and daily at all the Grand Slam tournaments. It is produced in association with The Telegraph.

February is jam packed with tennis tournaments.

It's all about Serena. It always has been. On this week's episode, Ben and Courtney dissect Serena Williams' return to Indian Wells after 13 years. How was she received (pretty well!)?

We also talk about Sloane Stephens (Queen of the Block), Rafael Nadal (King of the Rant), and the kids from Australia, (Kings of...Australia, I guess).We finish it off by praying to heaven that we don't die in our tiny car. But if the last song we hear on earth is "Your Love", we would be a-ok with that!As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter, and subscribing/reviewing on iTunes or whatever your podcasting platform of choice may be! Episode 100 is coming soon, we promise.
