An in depth conversation about Professional Women's Tennis. Sue Thearle and Sophie Amiach look at the Volvo Car Open in Charleston and the up coming clay season.

Madison Keys can win on clay. Now that she has, maybe she'll finally believe it. The 24-year-old took home her first clay title at the Volvo Car Open, defeating Caroline Wozniacki 7-6(5), 6-2 in the final. The win capped off a resurgent week for Keys, who came into Charleston off two back-to-back heartbreaking three-set losses, and leaves with her 1st title since 2017 Stanford, having beaten three major champions - Jelena Ostapenko, Sloane Stephens, and Wozniacki - to win her fourth WTA title.  Hear from both Keys and her coach Juan Todero after their wildly successful reunion. 

Welcome to the Mini-Break, your daily podcast for the biggest results, storylines, and controversies from the tennis world. On today’s episode, Tennis Channel and Cracked Racquets contributor Cale Hammond joins host Alex Gruskin to talk about the 2019 Volvo Car Open in Charleston, SC. The guys breakdown the results from the 2nd and 3rd rounds of play, highlighting the spectacular runs of Americans Jessica Pegula and Taylor Townsend. They also discuss the continued success of Belinda Bencic, the return to form of both Monica Puig and Caroline Wozniacki, and the rise of Maria Sakkari.

"That's what we hold our hat on: We've got to work a little bit hard than everyone else to be successful."    Charleston tournament director Bob Moran joins the TENNIS.com Podcast with Nina Pantic and Irina Falconi. He shares the biggest challenges in running the Volvo Car Open (3:50) and all the ways the WTA Premier has been innovating each year like using the Volvo Car Open app to provide an in-seat concessions service (5:53).     Speaking of innovation, this February they held a UTR-based pre-qualifying event, allowing any female with a 10.0 or higher to compete for a spot in the qualifying draw. Jessica Ho, a 22-year-old Floridian who had a WTA ranking of No. 516 and a UTR of 11.79, won the wild card.     Moran talks a lot about how important building tennis in the community of Charleston is, and one much-loved member of that Southern community is Shelby Rogers. The 26-year-old made her comeback from knee surgery this week after 13 months off the tour (15:52).     The largest WTA-only clay event in the U.S. has a reputation for being the go-to spot to catch future stars. Past champions and finalists include the likes of Kiki Bertens, Sloane Stephens, Daria Kasatkina, Angelique Kerber and Jelena Ostapenko. Moran looks out for which youngster might be the next star, and even named Bianca Andreescu as one such potential act—notably before she won Indian Wells and withdrew from Charleston (24:31).  Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome to the Mini-Break, your daily podcast for the biggest results, storylines, and controversies from the tennis world. On today’s episode, Tennis Channel and Cracked Racquets contributor Cale Hammond joins host Alex Gruskin to discuss the 2019 Volvo Car Open in Charleston, SC.

“There’s no real moment where you’re 100 percent sure you’re ready to play again. You just kind of have to jump back in and go for it.”    Shelby Rogers joins Nina Pantic and Irina Falconi on the TENNIS.com Podcast this week. The American is ready for her return to the tour at her hometown event, the Volvo Car Open in Charleston. The former world No. 48 has been out for just over a year after undergoing left knee surgery, and explains the ordeal she went through and how the new protected ranking rules are helping her (02:53). She was ranked No. 78 when she played her last match in the first round of Indian Wells in 2018.    Time away from the tour hasn't been all bad though as the 26-year-old got to live a normal life and embraced online school with Indiana University East (06:23). While she was injured, Rogers also tried her hand at working for the Tennis Channel as a commentator, interviewer and host (08:04).     It’s Rogers’ first significant injury, so she shares what she learned and what goes into plotting a comeback schedule, which may include a return to Roland Garros (14:31).    We take a break from the serious stuff to dig up her falsely edited Wikipedia page from years ago which claimed she lost several toes in a car accident and credited power lifting for her comeback (17:33).    Back to business—she explains how her life changed after she reached the quarterfinals of Roland Garros in 2016, including entry into the Elite 8 Club (19:41). And now that she’s had experience working in working for media, she tells us how her perspective has changed (21:36). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Laura Siegemund was on a clay-court roll last spring before she went down in a heap ahead of the French Open, blowing out her ACL during a match at the Nuremberg Open. Sidelined for 10 months, Siegemund used her time to further her psychology studies and dip her toe in public speaking.  Siegemund returns to her hometown tournament at the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix this week as the defending champion. WTA Insider caught up with the German two weeks ago at the Volvo Car Open, where she made her tour-level return.

Jonathan is back in Toronto after his trip to Charleston for the Volvo Car Open, and reunites with James to bring you #118. On deck for this episode: the WTA's uphill battle for equal footing with the ATP, a reflection on Naomi Osaka and her openness, Cornet's conundrum, the Davis Cup echo chamber, and #ThingsWeLike.   01:26 Tying up some Charleston odds and ends 05:37 The WTA's constant struggle for a piece of the pie 11:05 Naomi's sense of wonder and vulnerability 24:30 Bertens wins in Charleston, Muguruza secures her bag 28:01 Strike three: Cornet's whereabouts 34:36 Davis Cup weekend and James' misstep 39:52 The entrenched opinions surrounding proposed DC changes 48:01 Capital Tennis' out-of-nowhere statement on Tennys Sandgren 54:13 Shoutout to Carol, TBS listener Jonathan met in Charleston! 56:30 Things we like: Jesus Christ Superstar and Love, Simon

You know it's the clay season when Kiki Bertens starts taking home titles. The 26-year-old clay court stalwart kicked off her clay season by capturing the biggest title of her career on Sunday, defeating Julia Goerges 6-2, 6-1 to win the Volvo Car Open.  To win her first Premier title, Bertens had to do it the hard way. After rain washed out play on Semifinal Saturday, Bertens saved match point in a grueling 2 hour and 42 minute semifinal win over Madison Keys before turning around to play the final a few hours later. Not that Bertens minded all too much. The more hours she gets to spend on her favorite surface, the better. And it showed in Charleston. Bertens was all smiles as she joined the WTA Insider Podcast after her long final day, to discuss her up and down season so far, why her game just makes sense on clay, and why she owes Aleksandra Krunic more than just a glass of wine after her title run.

Episode 77 truly struggled to be born, interrupted and amended by the news that shook the tennis world: Serena might be -- and then, definitely is -- pregnant. The night before, we recorded a perfectly fine look at the upcoming clay season and a fun #SeeWhatHadHappenedWas about the French Fed Cup madness. All that is still here, but first, we ride the wave of emotions inflicted upon us by the GOAT troll, Serena Jameka Williams.

It's our sesquicentennial! As Ben and Courtney commemorate 150 episodes (well, actually this is our 181st, but you know we're not much for counting correctly), they first take you on a trip to the south of France, where NCR's France correspondant Carole Bouchard wraps up the Monte Carlo Masters, where Nadal won on clay and it was somehow a surprise. Then, after a detour through Fed Cup, we pivot to the south of the United States, and soak in the sounds of the Volvo Car Open in Charleston, one of our favorite stops on tour with some of our favorite people. You'll hear from four of them: volunteer extraordinaire Lynn Coursey ("She's here!"), Diane Elayne Dees and Daniel Ward of Women Who Serve, and tournament manager Eleanor Adams. Then Courtney and Ben meditate (or something) on their relative experiences with the sports worlds of Portland and Philadelphia.  Ben also announces the upcoming NCRvision Song Contest which will be brought to your in just a few weeks, so be sure to tweet or email us your submissions!  As always, thanks for liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter, and subscribing/reviewing on iTunes or whatever your podcasting app/platform of choice may be.
