Ben and Tumaini read the 126-page decision in the tribunal's decision to convict former No. 1 Simona Halep on two charges of intentional doping, and give you a deep dive into the details of the document and expound on what it all means. In the first half of this episode we get into the details so you don't have to, explaining the reasons why the tribunal was "comfortably satisfied" of Halep's guilt, and how they arrived to those two parallel verdicts through different detection methods. We also discuss why Halep's defenses failed, and what she was trying to achieve with her focus on delays to the process. In the second part of the deep dive, we explore the ramifications of these convictions, the most serious convictions a tennis star has ever received, and what they mean for Halep, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou, and the sport of tennis writ large. There's a lot to unpack here, and it's not always fun, but we hope we can shed some light on this complex case for you. Thank you for listening, and if you enjoy deep dives into tennis please pre-order Ben's biography of Naomi Osaka, coming out soon!

Picture this: A kid growing up in Perth, Australia, watching his father - a  famous Australian tennis player - coaching tennis legend Margaret Court. I am fortunate to have Skip Bowman in conversation with me in our latest episode about all things tennis, scuba diving, and leadership, whether it's on a tennis court, in a deep blue ocean, or a corporate board room. Skip's journey from being a Master Scuba Diver and Instructor to studying organizational psychology and coaching and consulting leaders in some of the largest organizations in the world is an intriguing one. We chat about the revolution of tennis in the 60s and 70s, the remarkable women who paved the way, and the challenges they faced. We delve into how Skip's scuba diving experience and his international cultural immersion when he moved to Switzerland and then Denmark without knowing the language can unleash the next level of growth mindset, leadership, and understanding of the true meaning behind psychological safety. We reflect on the significance of curiosity, reflective capability, and confidence in nurturing a growth mindset and how leaders can tap into these elements to unleash team potential. We explore the digital age, its influences, and implications. We underscore the need to discern between manipulation and exploitation, the various leadership styles we see in global corporations, and how Dolphins - a metaphor for an exemplary leadership style - can shape a safe environment for self-expression. Skip argues that relationships play a crucial role and proposes an interpersonal theory of growth mindset that focuses on helping each other grow and mobilizing supporters. We also discuss the societal programming that leads to the promotion of narcissistic leaders and the need for more complex and clever strategies in today's world.Finally, we address cognitive and collaborative overload in our workspaces, the potential benefits of hybrid working, and the role humor plays in leadership. Join us as we journey through topics of tennis, psychology, leadership, and more - you're in for a thought-provoking ride!Resources:LinkedIn: https://wwNoble SISU Cold Plunge The SISU Cold Plunge creates health benefits through the hormetic stress response.

"Supporting the Legacy of Jimmie "Doc" Horne : Black Tennis History" Tonight we honor, Jimmie "Doc" Horne Sr., by supporting the public tennis center which bears his name. He is a tennis standout once barred from white courts in an era of segregation, did not wait for somebody else to design a program to expose city kids in West Palm Beach to the sport. Nor did he wait to be paid. Retiring after 34 years as a teacher in area schools, he just showed up and did it.  His generosity and commitment helped make him a community legend, say those who gathered to remember him.  There are few in the WPB Black community who played tennis who didn't learn it or at least, in part from “Doc” Horne. In 1990, the city of West Palm Beach proclaimed March 17 as Jimmie "Doc" Horne Appreciation Day. The tennis facilities at Gaines Park are named for him. Mr. Horne passed on December 2, 2008, at age 88.

Welcome to Season 9, Episode 15, of the ParentingAces Podcast. In this week's episode, my guest, sports journalist Cecil Harris, shares some Tennis History with us in conjunction with the release of his new book, DIFFERENT STROKES: SERENA, VENUS, AND THE UNFINISHED BLACK TENNIS REVOLUTION. Why should you care about tennis history? Well, as Cecil explains very eloquently in our conversation, children are inspired by the champions they see on tv. And, especially in an individual sport such as tennis, it's important to teach our kids that the sport is about more than just their own participation in it. Knowing who came before them and understanding their contributions is so valuable. While we're all still on stay at home orders, now is the perfect time to read Cecil's book as a family then open the proverbial door to some discussions about it! To order DIFFERENT STROKES through BookShop.org, click here. You can also find it in our Amazon Shop here.

Until 2009, Rafael Nadal had not lost any of the 31 matches he had played at the French Open. And when he did, it was not at the hands of anyone expected. In this episode of Old Scores, Mihir and Gaurav revisit the 2009 French Open match, when Robin Söderling defeated Nadal, causing one of the biggest upsets in Tennis history. 

It's possibly the greatest tragedy that the world of tennis has seen. Maureen Connolly swept the tennis world, winning nine majors in less than three years... and then, at age 20, was never to play again. In this podcast, Buzz and Remo look at the brief, brilliant career of Little Mo, winner of the first womens Grand Slam. The inimitable Teddy Shingles recalls the curious strategies of her coach, provides insights from his time on the set of the 1970s telemovie of her life, and has something to say about John Newcombe's moustache.

Welcome to Season 8, Episode 27, of the ParentingAces Podcast! This week, things get personal! My father, Carl Goodman, started playing tennis in New Orleans when he was a kid. He has continued playing throughout his life with a short hiatus from the sport while he was in medical school in the early 1960s.  He has seen the game change and develop over many decades and has some very definite opinions on what's good - and what's not! - regarding those changes. In this week's episode, he shares his own Tennis History as well as his thoughts on what we need to do as a community to give the sport back to the kids.

In this week’s episode, we chat with Cindy Brinker and Carol Weyman of the Maureen Connolly Brinker Foundation and Little Mo series of junior tennis events. Not only will you hear about one of my favorite junior tennis events, but you will also learn some Tennis History!  Maureen Connolly, or Little Mo as she was fondly dubbed by a journalist early in her tennis career, was the only woman to win tennis's Grand Slam. Sadly, her life was cut short by ovarian cancer but not before she established the Maureen Connolly Foundation in 1968 to give back to the sport she loved. Now, the MCB Foundation runs several events throughout the year, including the Little Mo series of tournaments for players age 8-12 and the Big Mo tournaments for players age 13-16. These are some of my favorite tournaments in all of junior tennis, so I hope you will listen to the podcast then consider adding one or more of them to your player's schedule!

Taking a conversation that began on Twitter and building it into the longest episode they've ever done on one topic, Ben and Courtney wend their way through the history of women's tennis to discuss which players shaped it the most, from the beginning to the present to the future.There are consensus picks and contentious picks, but whether you agree or disagree with our assessments, we hope you enjoy this lengthy look at who and what made women's tennis the force it is today, and the many different ways in which both positive and negative impact and importance can be measured and assessed. It's all subjective, but it's a great subject, and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.  As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook (leave comments on the episode thread!

The Murray brothers’ five-set win over Sam Groth and Lleyton Hewitt was ‘one of the most memorable days in British tennis history’, according to British Eurosport pundit Annabel Croft.   With Great Britain standing one Andy Murray match win away from a Davis Cup by BNP Paribas final for the first time since 1978, Croft joined David Law (BBC 5 Live) and Catherine Whitaker on the Tennis Podcast to talk about an epic doubles encounter.    "I've never experienced an atmosphere in my life like the one in this arena today,” said Croft. “It’s one of the most memorable days in British tennis history and Judy Murray said to me in New York that winning the Davis Cup is one of Andy’s major ambitions."   Sitting courtside in Glasgow as Bernard Tomic was put through his paces on Saturday evening, the Tennis Podcast team speculated about whether any changes to the team are likely.    ‘‘It is just such a conundrum for the Aussies over who to pick,” said Croft.
