Legend of the game and Grand Slam champion Zina Garrison joins Lucy and Eugene for a special episode to mark International Women's History Month. We spotlight the trailblazer who had a storied career that included a junior world No 1 ranking, junior major titles at Wimbledon and the US Open; 14 singles crowns and 20 in doubles (including three mixed Grand Slam titles) on the professional tour; gold and bronze medals at the Olympics, three Fed Cups and a career-high ranking of No 4. Garrison, who spent the majority of her career inside the top 10, talks about her run to the Wimbledon final in 1990, being put in a box as an African American player, disparities in the game in her era and today, the coaching landscape (especially for women), Portia Archer running things at the WTA, athletes and mental health pressures and much more. The three-time mixed doubles Grand Slam champion also shares her thoughts on the US Open switching things up for 2025 and gives her former charge Taylor Townsend, the current doubles world No 2, her flowers. *Special shoutout to Michael Parks for the assist.

Lucy and Eugene celebrate title winners Felix Auger-Aliassime, who is now a two-time champion on the ATP Tour in 2025, Evan King and Christian Harrison who secured their first tour-level doubles title in Dallas, Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova (the doubles No 2 and No 1) winning their first WTA 1000 crown and Jasmine Paolini and Sara Errani winning the title in Qatar. Mikael Ymer is back! The Swede, playing for the first time since Wimbledon 2023, won on his return to action in an ITF event back in January and has played Davis Cup and a series of Challengers since. The WTA Tour is the gift that keeps on giving this year. The latest WTA 1000 winners Amanda Anisimova and Mirra Andreeva prove anyone can get it. We discuss… We also share our thoughts on Serena's cameo in the Super Bowl halftime show, Jannik Sinner's three-month ban, Elena Rybakina and Emma Raducanu news and the US Open doing things differently for mixed doubles in 2025.

Lucy and Eugene are joined by Christian Basnight, founder of Christian's Court, to review the 2025 Australian Open where Madison Keys secured her first Grand Slam title, Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova did it again in women's doubles and Ben Shelton made another major semi-final. We talk about Keys's championship-winning run in detail, paying particular attention to her semi-final against world No 2 Iga Swiatek and the thrilling three-set final against world No 1 and two-time defending champion Aryna Sabalenka, and give the 29-year-old American her flowers for staying true to her game. Townsend and Siniakova, the top seeds in the women's doubles draw, added to their Wimbledon crown to become two-time slam champions. We discuss Townsend's incredible impact on doubles and her understanding of how poignant and important her achievements are. Coco Gauff, everybodies pick for best-dressed player, looked good during her quarter-final run where she fell to Paula Badosa. Despite talk from the “internet coaches”  we saw marked improvements in the world No 3's game, especially the serve – she finished second in the aces leaderboard which feels significant. Shelton, who lost to eventual champion Jannik Sinner in the last four, had another great AO. Not only did the young lefty make an impact on the tennis court, the charismatic American also spoke out about the awkward on-court interviews he and some of his fellow players endured. We discuss. And to close we rate this year's tournament out of 10 and reveal some of our other favourite moments.

Jannik Sinner has retained his Australian Open crown with a commanding straight-sets win over Alex Zverev, confirming him as the undisputed hardcourt king — experts Simon Rea and Peter Marcato join Jon to analyse the championship match and discuss the implications for both players. Katerina Siniakova and Taylor Townsend have added the Australian Open trophy to their Grand Slam collection after upstaging Hsieh Su-wei and Jelena Ostapenko in the women’s doubles final. Madison Keys is acclimatising to her new identity as Grand Slam champion the day after her major breakthrough with a photo shoot at Melbourne’s iconic Brighton Beach. And we find out which musical artists the fans would like to see perform at the Australian Open finals.

In this week's Out Wide Podcast, Stef and Resh serve up a volley of hot takes and laughs as they break down the drama, triumphs, and fashion statements from Week 1 of the Australian Open 2025. They dish on the WTA's standout stars, including Coco Gauff flexing her tennis muscles, Destanee Aiava turning heads with her on-court vintage couture, and Emma Navarro fighting through marathon three-setters like a champ. On the men's side, American Learner Tien stunned everyone by schooling Daniil Medvedev, and Gael Monfils is proving that age is just a number—he's 38 and still busting moves on the court. They also throw in spicy predictions for the upcoming matches and shine a light on tennis's rising stars, all while keeping things refreshingly un-serious.Chapters (fun edition):00:00 – Welcome to the Tennis Circus: Week 1 Recap!01:16 – Naomi Osaka's Comeback Chronicles05:25 – Coco Gauff: Queen of Confidence07:27 – Taylor Townsend is Owning Doubles (Again)09:04 – Jasmine Paolini Meets GEMS Life Resurgence11:38 – Ons Jabeur is Back (and Thriving)14:06 – OMG Moments: The New Faces of Tennis17:35 – Emma Navarro's Never-Say-Die Attitude21:12 – What's Next: Let's Get Predictive23:26 – Keys vs. Rybakina: Bring on the Fireworks29:19 – Rising Stars: Male Edition35:32 – Wii Avatars, Fashion, and Off-Court Fun39:45 – Outro: See You Courtside!This podcast recap is your ticket to tennis drama with a side of humor.

With week one of the 2025 Australian Open in the books, Lucy and Eugene go through all the action including No 3 seed Coco Gauff steamrolling through to the fourth round where Belinda Bencic awaits*. Listen out for who was pretty much spot on with their prediction for this match. Madison Keys, coming off the back of her title-run in Adelaide, has also looked very good in Melbourne. The newly-married American has made tweaks to her game, and her equipment, and it seems to be paying off. On the men's side, Ben Shelton and Auckland champion Gael Monfils face-off in round four in what should be a thriller! La Monf has played inspired tennis en route to week two and Shelton has looked more impressive in each round. Naomi Osaka had to retire in the third round due to abdominal trouble but the four-time Grand Slam champion picked up two good wins. Jasmine Paolini, who may be carrying an injury, fell to Elina Svitolina in round three but is still going strong in doubles with Sara Errani. So is Taylor Townsend with Katerina Siniakova and Asia Muhammad in mixed with Andres Molteni. *Episode was recorded before any fourth-round matches were played. ***Apologies in adance, this episode is explicit.

Retiring Donald Young and Taylor Townsend take the runners-up crown in mixed doubles after falling in straight sets to Italian third seeds Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori. We appreciate Townsend acknowledging the significance of the presence of black players in the latter stages of the tournament during the trophy presentation. Frances Tiafoe's nerve got the better of him in a thrilling all-American semi-final against eventual runner-up Taylor Fritz. Big Foe was the better player for the majority of the match but he admirably admitted afterwards the occasion caught up with him towards the end of the match. We salute women's singles winner Aryna Sabalenka who beat Jessica Pegula in the final and Jannik Sinner who saw off Fritz in straights in the men's final. Listen out for post-match snippets from Young, Townsend and Tiafoe and to close we share our favourite fits, matches and moments from this year's Open and discuss whether Honey Deuce is actually better than Pimm's.

Taylor Townsend is one of my favorite current professional tennis players because she's unrelentingly aggressive. She's a serve and volleyer which is something no one does anymore! And she's a survivor. Her journey has put her through a lot—she was the best junior player in the world when the USTA refused to back her because, well, she weighs more than the average player. But she was beating everyone! She's been away recently on maternity leave but she'll be back on the WTA circuit soon. We talk about technique, growing as a player, dealing with the USTA, playing against Serena, and much more. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It was an incredible day for the Americans at the US Open with Emma Navarro, Taylor Fritz and Frances Tiafoe all reaching the semi-finals of the singles, while Taylor Townsend and Donald Young also made it through to the mixed doubles final. Catherine, David and Matt cover it all, including Paula Badosa's collapse from 5-1 up in the second set, an awesome performance from Aryna Sabalenka in the night session, how Zheng Qinwen was affected by her late finish, Alexander Zverev's tendency to get passive in big matches, Grigor Dimitrov's devastating injury, and how the crowd will respond to Frances Tiafoe vs Taylor Fritz in the first all-American men's semi-final in a Grand Slam since 2005.

Cal continues a summer of storytelling by passing on one about a player you might like to root for in this year's U.S. Open. The backstory of Taylor Townsend shows us how there are winds in life that hold us back and winds that push us forward. And the value of perseverance in between.

Coco Gauff goes down to Emma Navarro again, but this time in three. The 2023 champion's serve deserted her at crucial times and she spoke openly about getting “other opinions” to help remedy the issue. Frances Tiafoe put on another show under the lights, fending off a comeback by the in-form Australian Alexei Popyrin in four quality sets. Big Foe is now looking forward to his third consecutive quarter-final in New York where ninth seed Grigor Dimitrov awaits. In the junior competition, Akasha Urhobo, Tyra Grant, Christasha McNeil and Matthew Forbes all secured first-round wins. And in women's doubles, Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova ousted Heather Watson and Asia Muhammad. Shout out to Anastaia from Ground Pass Pod for joining us.

Jonathan is back from New York after attending the first three days of the US Open. James quizzes him on the record crowds, the heat, where to find the frozen Honey Deuce, the tennis, and his advice for navigating the grounds. We chat about Naomi's divisive kit, Adidas' misstep, and of course the cornrow epidemic. Right, and there was tennis being played, too – Novak & Carlos crash out, the men's draw could see a real breakthrough (or not), and Paolini and Gauff win for Slam consistency this year.    1:50 The crowds: eased by free movement during matches 11:10 Experiences from the grounds: the heat, Taylor Townsend, Ngounoue/Tien 19:55 Searching for the frozen Honey Deuce 28:55 A Manhattan girlie now  30:55 It's called fashion: Ruffles and bows 39:50 The screaming follicles 42:50 First week highlights: Tiafoe d. Shelton, Muchova reminds everyone what she can do 54:30 Alcaraz and Djokovic both out before the second week 60:20 Women's draw chugs along as top seeds remain 72:37 Men's draw: even with the upheaval, the title could still go to the world #1

Coco Gauff stayed the course against Elina Svitolina, coming back from a set down in similar fashion to the match she played against the Ukrainian in Auckland earlier this year. Good to see the reigning champ find good form heading into the second week in New York. Frances Tiafoe and Ben Shelton provide box office, primetime entertainment in the afternoon on Ashe as Tiafoe registers his first win against his compatriot. Novak Djokovic will not be his next opponent. Madison Keys fell in three and we also had a few casualties in women's doubles. Taylor Townsend and Donald Young did get their mixed doubles campaign off to a winning start though. Listen out for interview snippets from Gauff, Shelton and Tiafoe.

We had Madison Keys get things off to a winning start on Arthur Ashe, where Frances Tiafoe followed and looked impressive before Alexander Shevchenko retired. We're getting the third-round matchup we all wanted after Ben Shelton got the job done against Roberto Bautista Agut. Coco Gauff played her first night match and handed Tatjana Maria a bagel en route to victory. The day did start (and end) with a defeat after Taylor Townsend fell to Paula Badosa on Louis Armstrong. Rain and thunder halted Gael Monfils and Casper Ruud but play did resume as we were recording – La Monf eventually falling in four. Listen out for interview snippets from Tiafoe, Shelton and Gauff. We also address the Marketa Vondrousova cornrows situation.

This week, Joy and Taylor start by comparing sports watching experiences on the East Coast versus the West Coast. They also discuss traveling with loved ones and the importance of traveling with like-minded people. They then dive into social media's evolution—has it peaked, or will it keep evolving? The conversation shifts to forgiveness, where Joy shares her relationship with it and Taylor highlights that forgiveness is a personal choice. They wrap up by talking about age, milestones, and the importance of enjoying your own journey without comparing it to others'. Finally, they shout out Taylor Townsend at the U.S. Open and preview the start of fantasy football season.

Ladies' finals day did not disappoint, but it was not to be for our girl Jasmine Paolini who lost out to 31st seed Barbora Krejcikova in three quality sets. Paolini more than gave a good account of herself in a match that was a great advert for women's tennis and doubles, as both had their moments with great net play. The Italian, understandably not as upbeat in press afterwards, was still positive about her incredible Wimbledon campaign and her remarkable 2024 season. In the doubles final, fourth seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova secured the title after beating second seeds Erin Routliffe and Gabriela Dabrowski in two tiebreak sets on Centre Court.  First-time Grand Slam doubles champion Townsend was emotional afterwards and both ladies were in great form in press.

Willkommen zur neuen Ausgabe von Chip & Charge dieses Mal mit dem vierzehnten Tag aus Wimbledon. Am Sonntag wurde das Finale der Herren ausgespielt. Der Sieger hieß wie im vergangenen Jahr auch schon Carlos Alcaraz. Er setzte sich in einem ganz eindeutigen Finale gegen Novak Djokovic durch. Das Match begann mit einem langen ersten Spiel in dem Alcaraz seinem Gegner den Aufschlag abnahm und dann nie wieder so richtig in Gefahr geriet. Schon den ersten Durchgang sicherte sich Alcaraz mit 6:2. Auch im zweiten Satz hatte Alcaraz ganz klar die Nase vorn, bevor er dann bei 5:4 im dritten Satz die ...

Day 11 saw Jasmine Paolini book her place in her second consecutive Grand Slam final, and first at Wimbledon, after a three-set epic against Donna Vekic. The Croatian was the first to settle and took the opening set before Paolini upped it in set two to draw level and then persevered in the third to take it in the match tiebreak. The Italian was good vibes in press, as always, and spoke about how “crazy” it is to make two major finals in a row and also the prospect of facing Elena Rybakina or Barbora Krejcikova in Saturday's championship match. We look ahead to Day 12 where Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova will be in ladies' doubles semi-final action and Lucy reveals what she expects to see from the men in the singles semi-finals.

Taylor Townsend isn't here for any asterisks or qualifiers next to her name. The fan-favorite American joins the podcast in Miami to discuss the challenges of living a full and balanced life as a professional tennis player. 

We've just returned from an amazing experience at the Credit One Charleston Open, a tournament that's been hugely important to women's tennis and continues to be a favorite among players and fans. We do our best to place Charleston in the context of its host city's complex history and explore the tournament's role in helping to develop women's tennis. Danielle Collins was unquestionably the main attraction of the tournament -- winning her second straight title with the loss of one set. We also chat about watching TBS faves Dasha Kasatkina and Taylor Townsend, Vika Azarenka, Jessie Pegula, and Sloane Stephens on the unique Har-Tru green clay. Plus, some tips on attending and our review of the signature cocktail.    00:52 We

She begged to audition for the next one, the jumping off point for a lifelong love-affair with art, musical expression and exploration of the human character and psyche. Autumn's breakout screen role came as the individualist Taylor Townsend on FOX's hit teen drama, ‘The OC.' This launched her into a steady stream of strong female leads on shows like Entourage, No Ordinary Family, Last Resort, and many more. Over the next decade, she became a mother to two boys and found a home telling love stories on the Hallmark Channel, for which she has become a much-beloved and in-demand star. In recent years she's stepped further into her power by executive-producing for the network, as well as co-writing and directing additional projects for stage and screen. HOW TO CONNECT WITH AUTUMN:InstagramWHAT AUTUMN & JUNE TALKED ABOUT:What is Autumn's definition of joyHow she is harnessing her joy right nowWhy Autumn was called to talk about finding joy through divorceBeing the bridge between the dream and the broken dream The catalyst for her divorceDissolving soul contracts and the business of lifeLearning acceptance during this challenging timeInitiation into unconditional love as an awakening and a call to alignmentThe struggles of speaking up for what we need and wantFinding support and asking for helpThe dissonance of past self and current self Taking off the rose colored glasses / seeing realityWhen you know divorce is the right decisionAutumn's inner techniques that helped her find joy through divorceStarting from what is and using acceptance as a key to shift and what that looks likeFrom heroes to villainsThe importance of feeling all of your feelings and how to do itBreaking out of the mainstream narrative Shame, terror, guilt, self doubt The gifts that come after divorceHow to think of divorce as an initiation for your soulPracticing how to choose yourself beyond divorceBecoming the Creatrix & the Phoenix Rising  / Burning everything down to its essence to find joy How to open your heart again after divorce and move forward--------------------------------CONNECT WITH JOY GUIDE JUNE!
