Podcast appearances and mentions of Stan Wawrinka

Capítulo de cierre grabado el mismo domingo de la final masculina, todavía masticando lo que acabamos de ver. Felipe conduce con Martín de vuelta del periplo parisino y el regreso de Hugo Romero después de varias semanas ausente (con gorrito de Rafa para la ocasión).Alexander Zverev finalmente levanta un Grand Slam. Más de cuatro horas, cinco sets, nervios a tope de ambos lados y los recuerdos de Vietnam siempre rondando (Tien en US Open, Alcaraz en RG 2024). Analizamos el partido set por set: el 6-1 demoledor del primer set en 39 minutos, el quiebre emocional del segundo set donde Cobolli encuentra los golpes, el tercer set chicoteado con un break point salvado de 23 shots, el cuarto donde Sacha se quiebra solo con dobles faltas, y el quinto set donde el quiebre clave en el 3-0 con tres break points en contra termina sellando el título.Antes del cierre, también la final femenina del sábado. Mirra Andreeva a los 19 años cumple con las expectativas largamente acumuladas y vence a Maja Chwalinska, la polaca lucky loser que vino desde la quali sin sponsor y casi sin hotel, tapando bocas durante dos semanas. Conchita Martínez como coach detrás del juego españolizado de Andreeva, paciencia y construcción.Y el debate que se viene: ¿dónde queda Zverev en el legado del tenis? Hugo y Felipe lo ponen bajo Medvedev (ser número uno pesa). Más las evaluaciones de pronósticos previos (todos nos caímos feo en algún momento), revelaciones (los italianos Cobolli y Arnaldi, jodar a pesar de la caída, el holandés de Jong como lucky loser hasta octavos), decepciones (Tsitsipas, Shelton y Fritz), la despedida de Stan Wawrinka, el campeón junior brasileño y la mira puesta en la temporada de pasto.Síguenos en Instagram @lucklosers_podcast Twitter @LuckyLoserscast  @luckyloserstenis Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@luckyloserspodcast8246

On parle de Roland Garros, auquel Stan Wawrinka a fait des adieux émouvants, du Giro d'Italie et des espoirs des supporters parisiens avant la finale de la ligue des Champions face à Arsenal.

Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka played their final matches at Roland-Garros this year. They went out in the way they wanted, and on their own brand: Monfils almost pulling a miraculous comeback from two sets to love, but ultimately his body couldn't carry him, and Wawrinka blasting backhand winners, but now unable to match the aggression with defensive play.It was amazing.I will miss them so much.There's something weird, really sad, about watching players like these two, plus others who also played their final Roland-Garros, like David Goffin in the qualifying, and Roberto Bautista Agut, also out in the first round, saying good bye to the sport I love. It felt like I knew them, they were companions of mine. On my tv and other screens, and some lucky times live, I could count on having them around. They would do marvelous things. They would challenge the Big 3 with heart and soul. They would lose most often. They would play each other and fight till they couldn't stand.It was awesome. But every player must leave the Tour one day. At least they were able to go out the way they wanted.Also, wtf is up with the Roland-Garros vs French Open thing? That was probably the dumbest debate we've had in a while. Honestly, it was actually kind of fun lol plus I learned a bit about the recent history of the tournament!Some marketing geeking out in this episode too, if that's something you into.And here's the Christopher Clarey article on The New York Times I quoted: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/24/sports/tennis/a-puzzler-in-paris-french-open-or-roland-garros.html?pagewanted=allFavourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Catherine, David and Matt capture another day at Roland Garros which saw Stan Wawrinka and Gael Monfils say goodbye, Elina Svitolina and Casper Ruud survive, and more players succumb to hot conditions. Part one - Day session. We cover Svitolina's hard fought win over Anna Bondar, overcoming her recent difficulties in that match up. What makes Bondar tricky for her? And how did she come through? Elsewhere, there's chat about Amanda Anisimova's winning return, a tough day for Zheng Qinwen, and Rafael Jodar's emphatic victory. Part two - Night session (38:31). Gael Monfils ended his Roland Garros career with a 6-0 final set loss to Hugo Gaston. Why was this such a weird match? And how will Monfils be remembered? We also pick the bones out of an even more bizarre five-setter between Casper Ruud and Roman Safiullen. Part three - Mousquetaire of the day and Day 3 Order of Play (56:21).Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠Check out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!

Something Major is officially back. John, Sam, and Steve return from Paris to break down a chaotic opening round at Roland-Garros: surprise exits, brutal heat, questionable scheduling, and a few retirement-era feelings creeping in. Paris also says goodbye to Stan Wawrinka and hometown hero Gaël Monfils, who may have given the fans one last classic five-set battle.The guys revisit Medvedev's latest clay-court disaster, while somehow Sam still thinks he's got a chance against Sinner. They also break down Basavareddy's fearless drop-shot clinic against Fritz and Casper Ruud surviving heat issues, a fourth-set bagel, and still finding a way through in five. On the women's side, most top seeds handled business before Genie Bouchard joins the show to break down the draw and make her pick for the title... a pretty popular one!Plus, things get predictably sidetracked with heat complaints, stomach issues, and Sam accidentally eating 30 multivitamins because he thought they were gummy candy... just another completely "normal" pod episode!00:00 Something Major is BACK!01:54 Stan / Monfils Last Dances04:50 Court Placement Debate06:21 Monfils Sendoff07:56 Record Heat at Roland-Garros09:03 Top Seeds Cruise and Ruud Survival11:29 Americans and Rising Teens13:33 Medvedev Shock Exit Debate15:12 Sam's BIZARRE Vitamin Mishap19:20 Women's Draw20:24 Svitolina Survives21:50 Americans And Upsets23:52 Mens Round 2 Preview26:58 Genie Joins Pod30:15 Hockey Bar Detour?30:51 Wrap Up

Qui pourra oublier cette quinzaine magique où "Stan The Man", vêtu de son short à carreaux iconique, a terrassé Novak Djokovic en finale ?Retour sur 2 monstres du tennis sans oublier les tops et les flops et une partie pronostics.Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Tennis coach Mike James joins the podcast to discuss his unique journey to becoming one of the most trusted and respected minds in the sport, with a proven track-record of using analytical data to improve the very best players in the world. James details his path from coaching at an academy in Florida to working with Stan Wawrinka and his coach Magnus Norman, and explains how he ended up at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy, where he established himself as a legitimate performance analyst for current future pros. The coach explains why Holger Rune has all the ingredients to contend with Alcaraz and Sinner, and recalls the Danish star's epic run at the 2022 Paris Masters. James also dives into his personal thoughts on the tennis landscape, from the best-of-five format to the concern with tennis balls on player health, as well as the types of skills needed to truly shine at the apex of the sport.

On this week's episode of The Business of Watches, we head to Nidau, Switzerland, where we sit down with Ben Küffer, the young Chief Executive Officer of family-owned watch brand Norqain. It's a frank discussion of the challenges of starting a brand and creating a signature watch–the Norqain Wild One–at a time when the industry is crowded with competitors, and it's tough to stand out. We focus on Norqain's unique strategy of recruiting former and current professional athletes as not only brand representatives, but also investors and executives. The big news is Norqain's deal to be the official luxury timepiece of the National Hockey League, an agreement guided by former NHLer and Norqain co-founder Mark Streit with some help from superstar and company investor Sidney Crosby of the Pittsburgh Penguins. We also discuss the surprise success of Norqain's 'Enjoy Life' Freedom 60 chronograph that struck a chord with consumers with its ice cream-themed colors and endorsement by Mark Wahlberg to become the brand's top-selling watch. Despite that success, and perhaps in a bid to play the scarcity card, Norqain now says it plans to discontinue the model, at least for now. But first, we're joined by TanTan Wang, who is back from Colorado, and some quality time with Oris's new Big Crown Pointer Date 'Bullseye.' We also talk about the recent headlines in the watch world, including the proposed sale of Richemont's Baume & Mercier to Italy's Damiani Group, as well as Omega's very commercial 300M diver, which it is launching for the Milano Cortina Winter Games. Show Notes 1:57 Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Bullseye 3:15 TanTan's essay and the fight against watch snobbery 3:47 Richemont Sells Baume & Mercier 5:43 Omega Releases A White Ceramic Seamaster 300M For Milano Cortina 2026 9:40 Norqain 10:22 Mark Streit 11:10 Norqain Scores Multi-Year Sponsorship Deal With NHL Aimed At Vaulting Swiss Brands To The Big Leagues 12:03 Sidney Crosby Partners With Watch Company Founded By Former NHLers (ESPN) 18:00 Talking Watches With Jean-Claude Biver 19:55 Norqain Wild One 20:25 BIWI SA 26:00 Hands-On with the Norqain Wild One (Fratello) 30:40 Hands-On With the Norqain Freedom 60 40mm Enjoy Life (Fratello) 35:55 Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono 42mm 37:31 Swiss watch export statistics 39:44 Swiss watch industry employment 45:00 Stan Wawrinka 51:30 Norqain world and values 

It’s a sad day, everyone. Stan Wawrinka’s glorious run has come to an end and no, we’re not crying, you are. To honour the great man, we crack a few cold (lukewarm) ones and reminisce about the good old days. We dive headfirst into all the drama from the last 24 hours, including Jannik Sinner’s case of the cramps, Novak Djokovic’s very close call, and Naomi Osaka’s big announcement. Not to be outdone, Lizzy (@lizzyhoo) makes an announcement of her own and nearly brings Mike (@comedymikegoldstein) to tears. And finally, for anyone getting sick of the ridiculous run of guests we’ve been on, bad luck. We’ve got another one. The one and only Naomi Osaka.

As for Djokovic, just how close did he come to being disqualified for nearly hitting a ball kid? Plus, Lorenzo Musetti beats Tomas Machac in five and Stan Wawrinka says goodbye to the Australian Open in fitting fashion. Part two (41:48) - Women's Results.

Gigi Salmon, Russell Fuller and wheelchair tennis Grand Slam champion Andy Lapthorne discuss day five of the 2026 Australian Open from Melbourne.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge, dieses Mal mit dem zweiten Tag von den Australian Open 2026. Heute gab es in Melbourne weniger spektakuläre Matches als noch am Tag zuvor, lediglich einige kleinere und größere Überraschungen. Bei den Damen hatte Iga Swiatek ein paar Probleme mit ihrer Gegnerin Yue Yuan, vor allem beim zweiten Aufschlag. Letztlich gewann sie jedoch in zwei Sätzen. Nun geht es gegen Marie Bouzkova. Sowohl Tatjana Maria als auch Ella Seidel schieden aus, gerade Seidel war zum Ende hin relativ chancenlos und haderte mit dem eigenen Spiel. Keine Probleme hatte hingegen Jessica Pegula.

Before anything else, our thoughts this week are firmly with teh family of Damian Kust. Damian was a cherished and passionate member of the tennis community whom we lost at the age of just 26. His work covering the Challenger Tour set him apart, but his passion and knowledge was what really made him shine. RIP Damian. Details of his funeral and donations to the foundation his parents have chosen are here: https://x.com/damiankust/status/2009644081207709969 It always feels utterly empty to follow such profoundly sad news with the mundanity of the week's tennis news. Here is what else Calvin Betton, James Gray and George Bellshaw discussed this week... Novak Djokovic has pulled out of Adelaide, his only planned warm-up for the Australian Open, saying he is not physically ready for the challenge Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have not played an ATP event yet this year either, but were busy playing an indoor practice match in front of 15,000 people in Seoul, South Korea. Poland FINALLY won the United Cup, Hubert Hurkacz gaining redemption for spurning two championship points against Alexander Zverev in 2024, beating the German en route to leading his nation to victory... ...but Iga Swiatek's form was far from impressive, and it was Katarzyna Kawa and Jan Zielinski, Luke Johnson's new partner, who were instrumental in securing the title PLUS: No Australian Open wildcard for Nick Kyrgios; there is one for Stan Wawrinka; titles for Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Bublik, Aryna Sabalenka and Elina Svitolina; Emma Raducanu's return; and OF COURSE *that* wildcard in Nairobi.

On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross runs through the first championship Sunday of 2026. We'll start with Alexander Bublik's milestone win over Lorenzo Musetti that secured his place in the top-10. Then, we'll go to Daniil Medvedev's dominant week and win over Brandon Nakashima in Brisbane. Lastly, Hubert Hurkacz was perhaps the biggest mover of week 1 with a strong United Cup, culminating in victory over Stan Wawrinka and glory for Poland.0:00 Intro0:50 Bublik d.
