Podcast appearances and mentions of Taylor Fritz

Join Discourse! No pitch, just a link to sign up and show your support!In this week's show, we tackle intriguing physiological questions raised by listeners, explore whether different types of exercise interfere with one another to undermine training benefits, and run the Spotlight across stories from the sports world.In Digest this week (10:02):One of the great swimmers of the last decade, Ariane Titmus, has retired in her prime, leaving us to ponder the difference between athletes who go early and those who hang on. And cynically, those who switch to The Enhanced Games, which this week announced another former Olympian to its ranks. We discuss the carrot of the Enhanced Games, and how it capitalizes on incentives to entice athletes to join the movementWe wonder whether tennis players are playing too much, and whether the data support claims made by players like Taylor Fritz, who believe a combination of the calendar, courts and balls are threatening their welfare?In doping, 21% of athletes competing for Great Britain at the Commonwealth Games admitted to doping in the previous twelve months. That's only slightly better than the results of the same survey in Spanish athletes, which put the figure at 36%. Ross and Gareth discuss why the true figure is likely higher, and what it means for doping and anti-doping's effectivenessOur Center Stage topic (45:19) is a paper that explores a phenomenon called "the interference effect", where different types of exercise aimed at endurance or power/strength, have been thought to cancel each other out, undermining the adaptations from training. We explain the origins of that theory, and explore why things are not necessarily as simple as they seemed, with some practical advice for all those who like to mix their training types.In Listener Lens (1:08:33), Ali Robinson showcases what Discourse has to offer, making a fantastic observation about our most recent guest, cyclist Andrew Feather, and his physiological capacity. He introduces us to concepts of anaerobic capacity, or the W prime, and Ross explains how we can all use this concept (runners too!) to understand our performance limits, and design effective interval training sessions, including a challenge to Gareth to test his capacity and design training.And Finally, we introduce a paper on a metabolic ceiling that limits endurance athletes, with a promise to explore it in a future Spotlight editionShow notesTaylor Fritz shares views on load in tennis in an X exchange with fansTennis website with data on rally length and ace rateSurveys reveal a minimum prevalence of doping in athletesThe original WADA investigation on doping prevalence, 2011Our Center stage paper - the interference effect for power and endurance training Hosted on Acast.

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the opening rounds of the Shanghai Masters 1000 event that is going on this week. With Carlos Alcaraz withdrawing from the tournament before it started, Jannik Sinner seemed to have an easy walk to the title. However, struggling with the conditions, the top seed was forced to retire, leaving a wide open draw. Other top players like Alexander Zverev and Taylor Fritz have also fallen, perhaps creating a chance for Novak Djokovic to pull off a cinderella run at 38 years old to take this Masters 1000 title. But other young talents are waiting in the wings, hoping for a chance to seize a masters 1000 title.Contents: Intro 0:00Sinner Injury Discussion 1:50Seeded Players Dropping 4:27Headline Results 5:45Zverev Comments/Backlash 10:35Upcoming Matches 15:37What's New 20:20Bet of the Week 26:37Match of the Week 29:50

On Monday Match Analysis, Gill Gross breaks down Carlos Alcaraz's 6-4 6-4 win over Taylor Fritz in the final of the Tokyo 500, which reversed the Laver Cup result from just over a week ago. We'll discuss how this recent run of form has turned Alcaraz's season into an all-timer, his use of the dropshot and backhand tactics. We'll also look at Fritz's attempt to replicate the Laver Cup match- where did this match deviate? Then, we'll get into the Shanghai Masters 1000 Preview. Alcaraz has pulled out but reigning champion Jannik Sinner and last year's finalist Novak Djokovic are both present. We'll go quarter-by-quarter in the draw and name dark horses, upset alerts, early popcorn matches and predictions.0:00 Intro1:00 Alcaraz 90 Percent2:20 Laver Cup Revenge4:20 Alcaraz Tactics9:10 Fritz's Attempt To Replicate19:10 Shanghai Intro22:35 De Minaur's Q30:47 Zverev's Q36:15 Djokovic's Q43:45 Sinner's Q48:22 Final Weekend IG: https://www.instagram.com/gillgross_/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gill.gross24/7 Tennis Community on Discord: https://discord.gg/wW3WPqFTFJTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/Gill_GrossThe Draw newsletter, your one-stop-shop for the best tennis content on the internet every week: https://www.thedraw.tennis/subscribeBecome a member to support the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvERpLl9dXH09fuNdbyiLQQ/joinEvans Brothers Coffee Roasters, the Official Coffee Of Monday Match Analysis... use code GILLGROSS25 for 25% off your first order: https://evansbrotherscoffee.com/collections/coffeeAUDIO PODCAST FEEDSSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5c3VXnLDVVgLfZuGk3yxIF?si=AQy9oRlZTACoGr5XS3s_ygItunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/monday-match-analysis/id1432259450?mt=2 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this bulletin ... Northern Territory Police complete Kumanjayi White's death in custody autopsy; RBA Governor says Australia is not close to meeting the supply issue on housing; and in tennis, Taylor Fritz wins against Alexander Zverev, sealing the World Laver Cup win over Europe.

Amy Lundy joins to discuss The 2025 Laver Cup, as the very best players in men's tennis battle for bragging rights in San Francisco. Lundy dives into the history of this new popular event, and why introducing Andre Agassi and Yannick Noah as captains is another huge addition to the team competition. The journalist looks at whether Carlos Alcaraz can continue riding high after the US Open, how Taylor Fritz will bounce back after the Davis Cup, and whether new comers Joao Fonseca and Jakub Mensik are ready for this new challenge. Lundy also explains why Roger Federer's presence continues to loom large in the Laver Cup and tennis, and reacts to his comments that the 2025 Roland Garros men's Final was the dawning of a new era. The writer also recaps Barbora Krejcikova's epic win over Emma Raducanu in Seoul, and states her case why a combined Laver Cup featuring the WTA should happen next. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

The quarterfinals in New York brought plenty of fireworks, and we're breaking it all down before looking ahead to the semifinals. Novak Djokovic was clinical against Taylor Fritz and now sets up a blockbuster clash with Carlos Alcaraz. Is Novak the greatest athlete of all time? We debate it. Jannik Sinner's dominance rolls on as he heads into a big showdown with Felix Auger-Aliassime, but does Felix really have a chance? On the women's side, Jessica Pegula's steady run keeps her in the spotlight, while Amanda Anisimova pulled off sweet redemption against Iga Swiatek. Could we be on track for an all-American final? We dive into the possibilities and what it would mean for the tournament. Off the court, there's bracket drama, group chat chaos, and some questionable takes, from whether Fritz's headband was a mistake to the rising La Bubbus trend. 00:00 We're back! 01:08 Semi-Finals Preview and Quarterfinals Recap 02:21 Group Chat Confusion 05:00 Novak Djokovic's Performance So Far 12:22 Alcaraz vs. Djokovic Preview 16:23 Sinner's Dominance and Upcoming Match 19:59 Felix vs. Sinner 20:07 Men's Semifinals Preview 21:24 Women's Semifinals: American Hopes 22:09 Pegula's Path to Victory 25:15 Amanda Anisimova's Redemption 27:49 Osaka's Comeback 32:43 Bracket Challenge Drama and Goodbye!

The usual suspects look back at the US Open quarter-finals... Novak Djokovic takes down Taylor Fritz for the 11th time in a row, becoming the oldest man ever (Open era) to reach the semi-finals of all four grand slams in a single year. He says he was ‘lucky' to win and did at one point complain to the umpire about spectator noise, but nevertheless set up a blockbuster semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz, after the Spaniard eased past Jiri Lehecka. Can he beat Alcaraz 3 times in a row and extend his 5-3 head-to-head? In the top half, Jannk Sinner battered fellow countryman Lorenzo Musetti, losing just five points in first five games, and will now face the tournament's surprise package Felix Auger-Aliasime. Aryna Sabalenka got a walkover into the semi-finals after Marketa Vondrousova was forced to withdraw, and will face a 2024 US Open rematch against Jessica Pegula who breezed past Barbora Krejcikova, who struggled badly on serve And finally, Amanda Anisimova avenged her Wimbledon final humiliation at the hands of Iga Swiatek, calling it ‘the most meaningful victory of my life'. She will face Naomi Osaka, who beat Karolina Muchova, played brilliantly and looks utterly relaxed. Dare we say it: Naomi Osaka is back? Learn more about your ad choices.

We've reached the semifinal round at the US Open, and journalist Chris Oddo joins the podcast to break down all the drama in New York. The TennisNow and USOpen.org writer recaps Novak Djokovic's quarterfinal win over Taylor Fritz, and explains how the Serbian legend continues to reach the business end of slams at age 38. Oddo dives into the brilliance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner as they advanced to the Final Four with ease, Felix Auger Aliassime's major breakthrough, and the unfortunate fortnight for the American men. Oddo also dives into the women's draw which has featured plenty of excellent tennis and feel-good storylines. The journalist analyzes how Amanda Anisimova was able to avenge a brutal loss in the Wimbledon Final and defeat Iga Swiatek in New York, and he summarizes why Naomi Osaka's return to the final weekend of a grand slam is something truly special. And Oddo previews all the semifinal matchups including a rematch of last year's women's final as Aryna Sabalenka faces off against Jessica Pegula, and a transcendent, cross-generational matchup between Alcaraz and Djokovic. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Part one - Day session.

Part two - Night session (27:56). After Novak Djokovic improved to 11-0 against Taylor Fritz, we discuss where Fritz came up short, just how incredible this Grand Slam season has been for 38-year-old Djokovic, and whether he can beat Alcaraz in Friday's semi-final.

In this episode of the GreatBase Tennis Podcast, Steve Smith is joined by returning guest Dave Anderson and visiting coach Kervin Ramos. Together, the trio unpacks key storylines from the 2025 US Open — including matches involving Carlos Alcaraz, Frances Tiafoe, Coco Gauff, Alexander Bublik, and Taylor Fritz — while weaving in lessons for players, parents, and coaches at all levels.Beyond match results, the conversation dives into the mental game, player habits, and the gap between athleticism and discipline. The hosts reflect on the culture of American tennis, the value of fundamental skills like proper court positioning and swing technique, and how today's environment often celebrates flash over foundation.If you're a coach looking to sharpen your eye, a parent wondering how to support your child's tennis journey, or a player trying to build a game that lasts, this one's for you.

It's been an action-packed set of quarterfinals in New York City, with the semifinal line-ups (nearly) now confirmed. In a Wimbledon final repeat, Amanda Anisimova was able to exact revenge on Iga Swiatek (and that double bagel defeat) to make her first US Open semifinal, whilst Felix Auger-Aliassime extended his sparkling run by outlasting Alex De Minaur — who once again fell short of his maiden Grand Slam semifinal. Will he ever get there?We also dive into Novak Djokovic's gritty, guns-out win over Taylor Fritz and ask whether the Serbian can finally make another major final and build on his Australian Open victory against Carlos Alcaraz as the Spaniard marched into the semis without dropping a set, looking as ruthless as ever. Jessica Pegula also brought Barbora Krejcikova back down to earth after her dramatic win over Taylor Townsend, booking a semifinal showdown with World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, who advanced via walkover following Marketa Vondrousova's withdrawal. Can Pegula keep up the curse of Americans and stop Sabalenka from reaching yet another Grand Slam final?SOCIALSFollow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus email the show tennisweeklypod@gmail.com.MERCHPurchase Tennis Weekly Merch through our Etsy store including limited edition designs by Krippa Design where all proceeds go towards the podcast so we can keep doing what we do!REVIEWS***Please take a moment to rate and review the show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Part one - Women's matches. We start by covering Marketa Vondrousova's superb performance to beat Elena Rybakina and Barbora Krejcikova remarkable escape act against Taylor Townsend.

Part two - Men's matches (31:18). The shot of the day came from - who else? - Carlos Alcaraz with a behind-the-back half volley.

Round 3 of the US Open had everything: injuries, drama, and plenty of star power in the stands. We dig into Ben Shelton's tough setback, Sinner's tricky test against Shapo, Alcaraz's dominant run, and Taylor Fritz quietly holding strong. And yes, we even get into the celeb scene, from Russell Wilson and LL Cool J courtside to who didn't quite make the “celebrity cut.” On the women's side, Coco Gauff bounced back after a shaky start, while Taylor Townsend kept the drama rolling. Now all eyes are on the blockbuster clash between Gauff and Naomi Osaka, a matchup that could help define the tournament. We wrap with some chatter on tennis's unwritten rules (do you really have to apologize for a let cord?), a few fan habits that drive us crazy, and an update on our bracket standings… let's just say not everyone's thrilled. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:34 Celebrity Sightings at the US Open 01:56 Ben Shelton's Injury and Perspective 03:37 Jannik Sinner's Performance 05:21 Carlos Alcaraz and His Impressive Run 06:13 Taylor Fritz's Match Recap 07:02 Novak Djokovic's So Far 11:06 Round of 16 Popcorn Matches 13:06 Women's Draw Highlights 13:49 Coco Gauff's Performance So Far 14:34 Taylor Townsend's Impressive Run 19:28 Unwritten Rules of Tennis and Fan Annoyances 20:54 Bracket Updates and Episode Wrap-Up

David is back from holiday to join Catherine and Matt in discussing week one of the Canadian Open, where lots of the big names are out, there has been loads of good matches, and both draws feel pretty open heading into the final few days. Part one - WTA Montreal. We cover Victoria Mboko's special run to the quarter-finals, Coco Gauff's recurring double fault issues, Naomi Osaka's resurgence under new coach Tomasz Wiktorowski, compelling matches involving Madison Keys, Elena Rybakina and Marta Kostyuk, the unorthodox game of Aoi Ito, and the decision to give Eugenie Bouchard a wildcard so she could retire. Part two - ATP Toronto (from 49m). How much meaning can we take from a tournament without Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic? That's the task when assessing the men's event, which has seen Alexei Popyrin mount an impressive title defence so far, Daniil Medvedev continue to slump, and compelling final set tiebreak wins for Taylor Fritz and Ben Shelton. There was also a strange complaint from Alejandro Davidovich Fokina leading to sweet spot social media aggro involving Dan Evans. Part three - US Open news (from 70m15s). With most of the US Open mixed doubles pairings having been announced, we quiz David on his views, and he throws a fun name into the ring for one of the remaining wildcards. There's also the launch of the US Open's matchmaker show to discuss. Tickets are on sale now for the Tennis History Conference at Wimbledon on Tuesday 9th December.
