O discuție amplă despre problemele sportului și clasei politice de la noi, despre investiții și birocrația șocantă din România. Despre dopaj, Simona Halep și suspendarea lui Jannik Sinner.

In this exclusive Tennis Insider Club episode, legendary coach Darren Cahill shares untold stories from his time coaching Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt, Simona Halep, and Jannik Sinner. From his biggest coaching regrets to the mental toughness that separates champions, Cahill gives us a deep dive into the psychology of winning in tennis.Brought to you by AG1.Topics discussed:- Cahill's journey from football to tennis- Coaching Hewitt: The Porsche with no brakes

In S2 E1 we discuss BREAKING NEWS about Simona Halep's retirement, the Davis Cup drama between Cristian Garin and ZZ Bergs, and the lackluster and poorly kitted Australian Open highlighted by media antics more than on-court action.

Tennis, stop. Give us a minute, my God. The chaotic February schedule gives us a first-time 1000 title winner (Anisimova), a first-time ATP titlist (Fonseca), Ostapenko's fifth unanswered defeat of Swiatek, and Bencic winning a big title soon after her return from maternity leave. While trying to keep track of tennis results, we also saw the resolution of the Sinner's WADA appeal, the conclusion of the WTA's investigation into Stefano Vukov, and Simona Halep's retirement.  01:40 Anisimova wins Doha, Penko turns her year around 5:35 Fonseca's first title, Schwartzman's swan song, and will the South American swing go hardcourt? 11:40 Alejandro, por qué??? 15:10 Last week: Bencic, Alcaraz, Shapo 19:40 The Sinner Agreement 31:05 US Open makes mixed doubles a glorified exhibition 40:55 Compton's most famous daughter 47:05 Rybakina's coach Vukov suspended for a year  53:30 Simona Halep retires 62:20 We don't need straight men's takes on which men are hot

Ben and Tumaini reconvene for the first time back in their cold home hemisphere to discuss tennis happenings in February, which involve several complex stories. First, we discussed the late-breaking news of Stefano Vukov receiving a one-year ban from the WTA, and the details that were reported by The Athletic about the WTA's reasons. Is this new proactive approach correct? Second we discuss the retirement announcement of Simona Halep, whose legacy became much more complicated in the last few years. How should her career be remembered? We then cover the many changes happening to the August schedule, including the elongated Canada and Cincinnati events, the US Open's Sunday start, and then mostly the U.S. Open's radical revamp of the mixed doubles event.  After some results chats and thank yous, we end with a discussion of Serena at the Super Bowl and our memories of her time with Drake. Thank you for listening! 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! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Tumaini's work at The Guardian! 

On this week's episode of Served with Andy Roddick, Andy is joined by Jon Wertheim for a quick Racket Rundown, presented by Wilson, to discuss Alcaraz, Bencic, and more. Then, Andy and Jon sit down with US Open Tournament Director Stacey Allaster and Eric Butorac, Senior Director of Player Relations & Business Development, to discuss the newly announced changes for this year's US Open Mixed Doubles event. They explore why this decision was made, how it impacts other tournaments and tennis culture, and their vision for the sport's continued evolution. Read US Open Mixed Doubles Press Release here: https://www.usopen.org/en_US/news/articles/2025-02-11/2025_us_open_mixed_doubles_championship_takes_the_spotlight.html Finally, we have a special segment where Social Sophie and Kim Clijsters take over the show—giving Andy the boot!

Is the field of sports science facing a credibility crisis? According to guest Dr Joe Warne, key instigator of the Sports Science Replication Centre at the Technological University in Dublin, most of the research done in the field is unreliable. So what is the true picture, how can studies be done better, what role do journals play in ensuring better standards and how do consumers discern the good from the bad?Show notes:Our Patreon page, where you can sign up for access to the Discourse and other benefitsThe Discourse discussion, for all the post podcast discussions, insights into sports science, and even training and injury prevention advice.

On March 5, the Court of Arbitration for Sport rendered its decision on the Simona Halep appeal: the doping was not intentional and the suspension was reduced to 9 months, time long since served. It's the welcome end to a saga that has dragged on and shaken trust in the sport's anti-doping institutions. But, we're left with ever more questions: Why were the conclusions of the ITIA and CAS so starkly different? What of the biological passport results? What took so long? Why are tennis players often so successful at CAS? Aside from the Halep news, we talk about the early happenings at Indian Wells, the cancellation of Netflix's Break Point, the ATP's annual awkward International Women's Day video, and more.  01:40 CAS accepts Simona's contamination defense and throws out biological passport charge  07:50 Why are the conclusions of ITIA and CAS so vastly different? 15:00 Comparisons to Sharapova, the question of “innocence”  25:00 So where are the “real” dopers? 35:30 Indian Wells: withdrawals, Sinner's win streak, Kerber-Woz revival 45:15 Break Point is over: what went wrong? 50:40 Ruby amends his apology, thanks to Sofya Tartakova 51:50 A (very) slight improvement in the ATP's Women's Day video!

Indian Wells is underway but it was a news-heavy week in the tennis world and Catherine, David and Matt begin by discussing the fact that Simona Halep can return to tennis after CAS reduced her suspension to 9 months. Why did CAS come to such a different conclusion to the ITIA? How do we feel about tennis' anti-doping system in light of this case? And what do we make of Halep receiving a wildcard to play Miami? Elsewhere, there's chat about Netflix not renewing Break Point for season three, a possible WTA grass court event at The Queen's Club, and the main stories from Indian Wells so far. We cover the withdrawals of Rafael Nadal and Elena Rybakina, Carlos Alcaraz's improved form, whether anyone can beat Jannik Sinner, Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka's incredible comebacks, a Last 16 clash between Caroline Wozniacki and Angelique Kerber, and Iga Swiatek redoing her Australian Open experience and making it better.

Ben and Tumaini had a lot to catch up on this week, so we are splitting this episode into two parts. The first part, here, begins with the Court of Arbitration for Sport issuing a radical reversal of the first decision on Simona Halep's positive test, which means Halep can return to tour immediately. We don't have all the answers yet, but what does the dramatic disparity between the two decisions say about the dysfunction of the tennis anti-doping system? In the second part of this episode, we discuss Andrey Rublev getting defaulted from his semifinal in Dubai for berating a line judge, and how that moment should be instructive. Thanks for listening!
