Full Day 3 reaction including Naomi Osaka, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, and the rise of NCAA Tennis in Slams. Andy Roddick and Producer Mike discuss why the "four lost years" of college are now the ultimate training ground. From SMU's world-class facilities to the 34 collegiate players in the 2026 draw, the data proves the old federation model is dying. COMMENT BELOW: What was your favorite match from Day 3? What are the popcorn matches in Day 4?

For the second season running, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner shared all four Grand Slam titles between them in 2025.Three of the four Slam finals – the French Open, Wimbledon and the US Open – were contested by the top two in men's tennis, with the Australian Open, in which Sinner beat Alexander Zverev in the final, the sole exception.It is 10-11 that the great rivals meet in a fourth successive Slam decider in Melbourne this month, a feat last completed by Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal at the 2012 French Open, and the concern for those looking to oppose the top two is that there appears to be a genuine lack of emerging talent.Two-time defending champion Sinner is seeking to complete a hat-trick at Melbourne Park and the Italian looks less likely to slip-up than Alcaraz, who, at 22, will become the youngest man to complete the career Grand Slam should he win the singles title.However, the Spaniard has yet to go beyond the quarter-final stage on four previous trips down under and his decision to split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, who had been alongside him for 15 years and for all six of his Grand Slam title triumphs, seems untimely and could lead to a lack of focus.

Part one - Women's results. We cover Iga Swiatek passing a pretty tough test against Yuan Yue, Mirra Andreeva's Mix credentials after her comeback win over Donna Vekic, victories for Coco Gauff and Amanda Anisimova, more injury concern for Barbora Krejcikova, and the extraordinary scenes around Melbourne Park for Alexandra Eala's match. Part two (49:32) - Men's results. We discuss Novak Djokovic's sharp start, Stan Wawrinka's diesel engine revving again, Marin Cilic getting just over two thirds of the way to a triple bagel, Daniil Medvedev's more aggressive game style, a tough day for Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Learner Tien's five set victory.

Napansin ng buong Pilipinas ang isang batang Pinay na tahimik pero matindi ang dating sa world stage ng tennis.

From her start playing paddle tennis on the streets of Harlem as a young teenager to her eleven Grand Slam tennis wins to her professional golf career, Althea Gibson became the most famous black sportswoman of the mid-twentieth century. In her unprecedented athletic career, she was the first African American to win titles at the French Open, Wimbledon, and the US Open. In this comprehensive biography, Ashley Brown narrates the public career and private struggles of Althea Gibson (1927-2003). Based on extensive archival work and oral histories, Serving Herself: The Life and Times of Althea Gibson (Oxford UP, 2023) sets Gibson's life and choices against the backdrop of the Great Migration, Jim Crow racism, the integration of American sports, the civil rights movement, the Cold War, and second wave feminism. Throughout her life Gibson continuously negotiated the expectations of her supporters and adversaries, including her patrons in the black-led American Tennis Association, the white-led United States Lawn Tennis Association, and the media, particularly the Black press and community's expectations that she selflessly serve as a representative of her race.  An incredibly talented, ultra-competitive, and not always likeable athlete, Gibson wanted to be treated as an individual first and foremost, not as a member of a specific race or gender. She was reluctant to speak openly about the indignities and prejudices she navigated as an African American woman, though she faced numerous institutional and societal barriers in achieving her goals. She frequently bucked conventional norms of femininity and put her career ahead of romantic relationships, making her personal life the subject of constant scrutiny and rumors. Despite her major wins and international recognition, including a ticker tape parade in New York City and the covers of Sports Illustrated and Time, Gibson endeavored to find commercial sponsorship and permanent economic stability. Committed to self-sufficiency, she pivoted from the elite amateur tennis circuit to State Department-sponsored goodwill tours, attempts to find success as a singer and Hollywood actress, the professional golf circuit, a tour with the Harlem Globetrotters and her own professional tennis tour, coaching, teaching children at tennis clinics, and a stint as New Jersey Athletics Commissioner. As she struggled to support herself in old age, she was left with disappointment, recounting her past achievements decades before female tennis players were able to garner substantial earnings. A compelling life and times portrait, Serving Herself offers a revealing look at the rise and fall of a fiercely independent trailblazer who satisfied her own needs and simultaneously set a pathbreaking course for Black athletes.

Recently, at the Katie Ledecky Invite, a swim meet hosted by Nation's Capital Swim Club and named for their most notable alumna, history was made. Katie Ledecky herself participated in the last night of competition, swimming in the 1,650 freestyle. The 14x Olympic medalist wowed her hometown crowd as she threw down a monstrous 14:59.62, breaking her own American and US Open records in the event and making her the first woman in history to dip under the 15-minute barrier. This swim not only rippled across the entire current swimming landscape, but it will undoubtedly inspire swimmers for years to come. SwimSwam spoke with two young girls, Milly Birch and Emma Stein, who were at the venue during this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Milly, 14, swam in the lane next to Katie during the 1,650 while Emma, 11, was on deck watching with her friends. Listen to how Katie Ledecky is not only breaking down barriers for herself, but showing many more that they can do the same.

The guest on this episode of The Back of the Range is Matt Vogt, a dentist and accomplished mid-amateur golfer who earned one of the most memorable stories in 2025: qualifying for and competing in the U.S. Open at Oakmont. The conversation covers Vogt’s journey from a modest upbringing in Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania, to his college golf days at Butler University, and his later-life resurgence into competitive amateur golf. He recounts his U.S. Open Qualifying experience, the emotional significance of his late father during that run, and the whirlwind aftermath of suddenly finding himself part of golf’s biggest stage. Vogt offers candid reflections on balancing a demanding professional career in dentistry with elite-level amateur competition, sharing how he relies on supportive colleagues and flexible scheduling to make it work. He opens up about nerves, lessons learned, and the surreal experience of teeing off at Oakmont in front of thousands—a moment where adrenaline met disbelief. The discussion also touches on broader themes in amateur golf: the evolution of college recruiting, the rising standard of competition, the mid-amateur “fraternity,” and the ongoing debate about reinstated former professionals competing in mid-am events. The conversation ends lightheartedly, with banter about future tournaments like the Gasparilla Invitational and the Jones Cup, showing Vogt’s grounded personality and enthusiasm for competing with his peers.

Trevor sits down with Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Wesley Morris for a wide-ranging conversation that uncovers the hidden stories in everyday culture.From Carlos Alcaraz's accidental buzz cut becoming the real drama of the US Open (and why men rarely have to explain their appearance), to the deeper meaning behind dead baby names, looted ancient artifacts, and Trump's complicated relationship with museums.They dive into why blockbuster movies have abandoned regular human stories, how Superman reboots reflect America's shifting self-image, and why horror films and death-obsessed songs are dominating right now.Wesley breaks down the superpower of a “critic at large”: spotting trends everyone else misses and connecting them to what they really say about us.Thought-provoking, funny, and full of unexpected insights—this one will make you see the world a little differently.

In this Bonus Episode of Painting Lines, Erik and Aidan join the pod to discuss the shocking split between Carlos Alcaraz and his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero. Ferrero has been Carlos' coach for years, bringing him from his junior days to the height of professional tennis, winning grand slams and reaching the world number one ranking. However, in a surprising move, Alcaraz and Ferrero have parted ways, despite Alcaraz having won the most recent grand slam at the US Open, and ending the year in the top ranking position. It is the perhaps most out of the blue coaching change in the history of tennis, and has left the tennis world reeling.

In this 2025 Season Recap, Andy Roddick, Jon Wertheim, and Producer Mike dig into their “winners and unforced errors” of the tennis season: from successful US Open mixed doubles exhibition to the much-criticized extended Masters 1000 events. They debate the sport's failure to empower creators and players to use match footage, and the power struggle over prize money and revenue share at the Grand Slams. The crew also relives Sinner–Alcaraz's unforgettable Roland Garros epic, Coco Gauff's and Iga Świątek's seasons, Sabalenka's resilience, and the booming depth of American tennis on both tours. Finally, they zoom out to why tennis is “having a massive moment” globally and why that makes the structural mistakes and missed opportunities even more frustrating. COMMENT BELOW What was your biggest “winner” and “unforced error” of the 2025 tennis season?

Andy Roddick (Served) is a Grand Slam-winning tennis champion. Andy joins the Armchair Expert to discuss when his tennis rankings weren't as good as his older brother's until the day it flipped, whether he thinks you're born or made with the disposition of an elite athlete, and how undervalued a skill it is to get beat and go to work the next day. Andy and Dax talk about the dividends gained from taking 10 years off of tennis, the protectiveness his father showed over his career and finances, and his mom bribing him with tickets to the US Open for a good report card.
