1974 was a banner year for Jimmy Connors… He entered three Grand Slams and won all three of them. He was ranked #1 in the world and was engaged to Chris Evert. Life was good. But in 1975, things didn't go quite as smoothly. His engagement to Chrissy was called off… and while he was still the most dominant player in the world, he failed to win a Grand Slam, losing in the finals at the Australian Open to John Newcombe, in the finals at Wimbledon to Arthur Ashe, and now in the finals of the US Open to Manual Orantes. Was this the beginning of the end for Connors? Hardly. He would win 5 of his Grand Slam titles starting in 1976 at the US Open where he would there again in '78, '82 & '83 as well as Wimbledon for a 2nd time in 1982. And who would forget his incredible run at the 1991 US Open at at the age of 39. Curry Kirkpatrick hasn't forgotten it. He was covering a good portion of Connors and Evert's careers back when they were the King & Queen of tennis for Sports Illustrated and gives us an inside look at what happened to Jimmy against Orantes in the finals of '75. A simple reason for the shocking win was the Spaniard was sensational on clay courts, and beginning in 1975, Forest Hills surface was clay for 3 years. Advantage Orantes. Curry also tells us what happened on the women's side of the draw as Chris Evert was beginning her dominance of tennis… Having won the French Open in 1974 & '75 as well as Wimbledon a year earlier, Evert added the US Open to her list of achievements… and it was the first of 6 US Open Titles in her storied career as she would win it again in '76, '77, '78, '80 & '82.  Two of tennis all-time greats were dominating tennis in the 70's and Curry was there for all of it and joins us on POP to tell us how Orantes almost didn't even get to the finals and how that loss by Connors was just a blip as he would continue to be a force in tennis for another 15 years! And he tells us how at age 16 “he invented” Chris Evert writing the first major story about her in SI before penning the final installment of her illustrious career in the late 80's when she retired from the sport. Nobody knows Connors and Evert from the mid 70's like Curry Kirkpatrick and he joins us for a record 5th time on the show to regale us with great stories of two of tennis' all-time greats… Jimmy and Chrissy… on the Past Our Prime podcast Learn more about your ad choices.

After 300 episodes of back-and-forth volleys, Brad and David demonstrate the perfect match strategy: serve up the truth, return the nonsense with interest, and always remember that sometimes the best view is from the clubhouse bar.While the world's elites have been double-faulting on everything from COVID responses to foreign policy, Brad and David have been calling the shots with Wimbledon precision. From Trump's power serves to Biden's unforced errors, from the BLM protests' net violations to the Me Too movement's questionable calls, our hosts have provided play-by-play commentary on eight years of political theater. They've watched politicians lob softballs to themselves while completely whiffing on easy volleys, all while the mainstream media kept score like they were being paid by one of the players.The circus of American politics just keeps going to deuce, over and over, with no clear winner except the concession stands.

This week the lads have a special guest in charity hero and Wimbledon legend Xavier Wiggins joining them. First of Danny and Lee discuss the 3-0 away loss to Bolton. In the grand scheme of things the loss isn't the end of the world but we do have to bounce back. The main issue is strength in depth and Marcus Browne once again frustrating the fan base with a very needless and silly sending off but was Joe Lewis's second yellow card worse? They then talk to Xav regarding his Walk92, where he is walking to all 92 clubs in 92 days, the main question is why? Xav talks passionately about the foundations at different clubs and what they do in their local communities, how he is finding it both physically and mentally and then off subject they talk about the recent DT survey regarding season tickets and people selling them back or passing them on. The lads then finish by previewing the big home game against Rotherham on Saturday.

Listeners share stories of when they've lost big but managed to come back, inspired by Amanda Anisimova's comeback in the U.S. Open to make the finals after her infamous "double-bagel" loss at Wimbledon.

Thanks for your patience as we finished up our US Open wrap! One of our birthdays coincided with Rolex inviting a certain president to the tournament, and we conscientiously objected. Aryna Sabalenka and Carlos Alcaraz are your winners (for the first time together). The tournament was a barnburner on the women's side, a fantastic cap to a year which saw four different Slam winners and a few players rewriting their own stories. On the men's side, Alcaraz faced only 10 break points (a record) and pushed a dominant Sinner into rethinking his own game. As is our wont, we talk extensively about other things … including using Mary Carillo's commentary as an example of the necessary risk of expanding sports commentary into something more worldly and immediate.  01:46 Aryna Sabalenka wins with smarts and steadiness 08:56 Animisova-Osaka, now that was a moment 18:27 The Townsend-Krejcikova match was a stunner 21:31 Mary Carillo and the risk of telling the truth 35:47 Carlos figures out Jannik (7 of the last 8 times) 42:19 Thanks, Rolex! The USTA makes a problem worse  50:34 Breaking down the prize money increase 55:45 Allez Félix!   64:50 Novak and everyone else 71:11 Duchess of Kent, Wimbledon icon, dies at 92

Jimmy and Brett are joined once again by friend and tennis connoisseur Spencer Segura to break down all things US Open after attending the final weekend. Carlos Alcaraz has been amazing since Monte Carlo and continued his hot play in Flushing the past two weeks. He has now won 7 or the last 8 matches against Sinner and won his 6th major at just 22 years old. Djokovic is still the third best player in the world, he just can't beat Sinner and Alcaraz. Sabalenka was on a mission to win a slam after coming so close in the first 3 majors of the year. Beating 2 straight Americans to do so. Amanda Anisimova bounced back after her heartbreaking loss at Wimbledon. She has the game to win a major, and now has the experience to build on. shopify.com/connors⁠⁠⁠⁠ for your $1 per month trial period  Follow us on - Twitter - @AdvConnors @JimmyConnors @Brett_Connors Instagram - @AdvConnors @Bretterz @GolddoodIsabella Facebook - Jimmy Connors official Facebook page Leave your questions/topics/or links to stories you want us to talk about next week on Jimmy's official Facebook page.

Carlos Alcaraz is once again on top of the tennis world after capturing his second US Open title in New York and reclaiming the world number one ranking from Jannik Sinner. In a trilogy final that was delayed by 50 minutes due to President Donald Trump's arrival at Flushing Meadows, Alcaraz produced a dominant display to defeat Sinner 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, 6-4. Aside from a brief wobble in the second set, the Spaniard was in command throughout, outhitting his rival by 42 winners to 21 and dropping just one set all tournament. The victory marks Alcaraz's sixth major title at only 22 years of age, putting him ahead of Federer, Djokovic and Nadal at the same stage of their careers. Sinner, meanwhile, struggled with his first serve and could not maintain consistency on what many considered his strongest surface.Join Joel and Chris at Tennis Weekly HQ as they unpack what this result means for both players and the broader Grand Slam picture in 2025. Was this a missed opportunity for Sinner? What was the difference for Alcaraz compared to Wimbledon? And yes, the Drake Curse reared its head again.

Carlos Alcaraz ha vuelto a colocar el deporte español en todo lo alto. Y empieza a ser costumbre. El tenista de El Palmar conquistó anoche Nueva York, el número 1 del ranking ATP y el corazón del público de la Arthur Ashe, todo a golpe de raqueta. La víctima de su show en la 'Gran Manzana' fue un Jannik Sinner que se vio arrollado por el nivel del murciano, apenas un mes y medio después de vencerle en la final de Wimbledon. 'Carlitos' se cortó el pelo, elevó su nivel hasta dar su mejor versión y arrasó el US Open.

De vierde en laatste Grand Slam van het jaar is voorbij. Afgelopen weekend werden de finales gespeeld, waaronder de inmiddels klassieker tussen Sinner en Alcaraz. Drie van de vier grandslamfinales van dit jaar gingen tussen de twee. Sinner won Wimbledon, Alcaraz won Roland Garros en nu dus ook de US Open, waardoor de Spanjaard over de Italiaan heen wipt en de nieuwe nummer één van de wereld is. Bij de vrouwen was het Aryna Sabalenka, die het slechte trackrecord tegen Amerikaanse tegenstanders in grandslamfinales dit jaar doorbrak tegen Amanda Anisimova. We blikten erop terug met tennisjournalist Jon Visbeen. Presentatie: Robert Denneman

Aryna Sabalenka finally ends her Grand Slam drought for the season and edges past Amanda Anisimova in two thrilling sets to retain her US Open title that she captured last year. Join Kim and Chris as they discuss the encounter in Flushing Meadows between two of the biggest ball-strikers in the women's game and whether they thought it lived up to the billing. For Sabalenka, it was not a win without drama having failed to close out the match at the first opportunity but was able to get over the line a nail-shredding tiebreak. How does this win change her outlook on the season and how good must it feel to get revenge on that titanic Wimbledon semi final defeat against the American.For Amanda Anisimova, it was another taste of Grand Slam finals defeat but this time in a completely different manner. From the double bagel dished out at Wimbledon by Iga Swiatek, Anisimova can have her head held high even if falling just short. Join Kim and Chris as they discuss her journey, what needs to happen for her to become a Grand Slam champion and where is it most likely to happen next.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are set for a blockbuster US Open final, and Joel and Kim are here to break it all down at Tennis Weekly HQ.Alcaraz delivered a statement performance against Novak Djokovic, gaining revenge for his Australian Open defeat earlier this year and scoring his first hard-court victory over the 38-year-old Serbian legend. The Spaniard cruised through in straight sets, not dropping a set all tournament, still finding the time to play golf with Sergio Garcia, and secured his spot in a second US Open final as he eyes both the trophy and a return to World No. 1.Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner battled through the night session, overcoming an inspired at times Felix Auger-Aliassime in four hard-fought sets to notch his 300th career win. Despite a mid-match medical timeout, the Italian found his best tennis in the clutch moments to set up yet another Grand Slam showdown with Alcaraz. For the first time in the Open Era, two players will contest three major finals in the same season — Roland Garros, Wimbledon and now New York. Who will claim the US Open crown and the year-end No. 1 ranking?

Geoff and Marie's Good Life: Part 7Quiet Little OrgyA retired couple invite some new friends home.Based on posts by Only In My Mind, in 15 parts. Listen to the Podcast at Explicit Novels.Eventually, by nine o'clock that Saturday morning, we had all showered and made our way downstairs for breakfast. I was last into the kitchen as I'd graciously allowed the women to go first. The dressing gowns that we'd bought for our Wednesday sessions came in useful in that Sue and Margie weren't faced with wearing their dancing dresses to eat in.I think they were both surprised at how relaxed the atmosphere was, I mean they had both fucked their hostess's husband the night before. Angie broke a comfortable silence as we ate. "Geoff. You know what you promised?" She meant the anal bareback that she'd been harping on about for a while."Yes my love?""Well," It was unusual for Angie to hesitate; if anything, her life would be much simpler if she did think more before speaking. "The thing is, would you mind if Sue and Margie came shopping to the naughty store and, maybe?" She looked at me as shyly as I'd ever seen her. "Could they watch while you sort of; do me? You know? Up the bum?" Marie snorted at the look on my face.I turned back to Angie. "Are you seriously suggesting that we take two women, who we've barely known for twelve hours, take them shopping in a sex store and then bring them back her to watch you and me having anal sex without a condom?""That pretty much sums it up," she conceded."Okay. As long as we're on the same page. It's fine by me."And so it was agreed. The two 'new girls' would go home in Sue's car, grab an overnight bag each and re-join us at our house for another evening of sexual exploration, including Angie's loss of her last virginity, and then they would go home on Sunday morning.This wasn't quite the weekend I'd imagined!Anyway, the five of us set off about twelve thirty and stopped at the little bistro we'd found on the way to the adult store. Margie and Sue insisted it was their treat to repay us for our hospitality. My clam linguini in white wine and cream sauce was excellent and the women seemed content with their meals too, so it was a contented crew who breezed into the store about an hour or so later.I left the girls to browse at their leisure as there was a particular item that I was interested in. Angie, very much a woman who was happy to get 'in your face' if you pissed her off, also had a well concealed submissive side that we had found by accident. I had resolved that, as a treat, I would buy her a collar that she could wear when she, and only she, decided she wanted to be dominated. I was aware from some basic research that there was an entire sub-culture around this behavior but, in our case, my only interest was to give my lover another way to express herself sexually. When we had experimented before, Marie was happy to play along but got no actual satisfaction from being submissive. With Angie though, as long as we were careful, she could use the experience to deal with some issues from way back.I found the relevant display and, satisfied that the girls were giggling together over something obviously particularly intriguing and probably disturbing from my point of view two aisles over, I made my choice and took it to the counter. The shop assistant approved of my choice. "So sir, for one of your ladies?" He enquired. I nodded. "Not S and M?""No. Just something she can wear to signal when she wants to be more, erm, passive," I explained."Perfect choice in that case," he replied.I took the collar and the receipt and put them in my pocket. I'd decide later when to give them to Angie. There was something else bothering me too, but I needed to speak to Marie first; a proper conversation that would have to wait until this weekend was over. I had an idea, and I hoped that she'd approve, but it was too important to risk getting it wrong.We left, not quite as laden as last time we visited, each of us carrying something designed to make sex even better. Isn't it sad that we're conditioned to find that somehow shameful? Marie regards me as a work in progress to break that conditioning. Ironic really, that it was her reaction to some sexy underwear that led us to where we found ourselves that day.We arrived back home a little after three and, while Marie took Angie upstairs to prepare, I led Margie and Sue into the kitchen to help make a brew while I checked the fridge to make sure that we had something to snack on later, having already had one substantial meal that day. I took Marie and Angie a cup of tea and a plate of chocolate biscuits and left them in the bedroom. I had no wish to be part of whatever they were doing in the bathroom with the bags, tubes and whatnot they had bought that afternoon.While I chatted with our new girls I diced a red onion, prepped some chorizo and sliced some Brie and Blue Wensleydale cheeses. I took a bag of ciabatta rolls out of the freezer to defrost and put a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc in the fridge to chill. Okay, so it wasn't a fine vintage wine but it was going to pair with onion, blue cheese and spiced sausage: why the Hell would I use an expensive wine to wash that down?Our prep done we retired to the living room and chatted about, well, sex while we waited for Angie to make herself ready. I confess that I was a little concerned that she'd invested a lot of anticipation in what we were about to do. It would be her first time and only my second. What if it all went wrong? What if she hated it?I had a thought and dashed to the kitchen. When I returned a minute later both girls looked at me enquiringly."ED22," I explained, rather unhelpfully. The look on their faces made it clear that this was not only insufficient but actually demanded a more detailed explanation than if I had just said that I'd forgotten something. I reminded them of my sexual performance the previous evening and pointed out this would have been remarkable for a man in his twenties, let alone someone of my vintage.I told how I was now in a user trial of a new generation of drug for erectile dysfunction which allowed me, with no particular clinical need, not to put too fine a point on it, to fuck like a steam train for hours. We chatted about that for a while until my wife shouted downstairs. "Geoffrey, ladies, if you're ready, the ceremony is about to begin. Please join us upstairs, remove your clothing and take your seats." It seemed like an excellent idea so that's exactly what we did.Somehow, between helping Angie with her 'purges', my wife had managed to get another couple of chairs into our bedroom though admittedly one was a folding chair from IKEA that we kept for situations where the six seats that came with our dining room suite weren't sufficient. I stood in my dressing gown, waiting for Angie to emerge from the bathroom, feeling like a nervous groom at the altar. Sue and Margie sat in the seats behind me wearing only their bras and panties.Marie, acting as mistress of ceremonies also dressed for effect in a pale blue Basque and, well, that was it actually, waited for the tension to rise before she opened the bathroom door with a theatrical flourish. "Angie," she announced, in her most sultry voice. "Your lover is here to rid you of your last virginity. Do you willingly surrender to him?"Angie stepped naked into the bedroom and stood before me. She looked at her friends assembled to witness something that seemed to be really important to her and smiled. "I surrender my body totally to him. I ask that he takes my anal virginity in the knowledge that no man has had my ass before him and nor will any other man after him."If I hadn't realized before, it was out there now. Angie was making a point here, she was giving herself, pledging herself, to me! Fighting the urge to, yes, panic is probably the most appropriate word, I looked to Marie. My wife seemed not just content but actually happily engaged with this small but weird ceremony. I had really wanted to talk to Marie before I took this step but the situation seemed to have arisen before I had the chance, so I decided to take the risk.Stepping to my bedside drawer, I took out a small gift box. It was a generic necklace box I'd found in the loft but it was fine for my purposes. "Angela," she stiffened at my using her full name: that reminded her the time I had hypnotized her and left some interesting legacy imperatives in her subconscious. "Angela, I accept the honor you bestow upon me. It would please me if you would wear this collar as a sign that your body is mine to take, use and bestow at my pleasure."We all watched entranced as she swayed slightly as she comprehended what I'd said. Almost before she could react I was in front of her. "Angela, will you wear my collar?" She looked at me wide eyed and nodded fervently. I continued before she could speak. "You may wear or remove it as you wish but, when you wear it, You. Are. Mine and mine alone. Do you understand?"Angie looked beseechingly at her best friend in the world, my wife, Marie. How would she respond to her husband claiming her best friend's body? With obvious delight was the honest answer. Marie ran to Angie and gave her a massive hug. "Oh, sweetheart," Marie sobbed, tears running down her cheeks. "You'll be like my Sister-Wife. I love you so much."Then Marie turned to me. "God! I love you so fucking much too! When you've finished with Angie, me and the girls are going to fuck you so hard we're all going to be sitting on soft cushions for the rest of the week. Fuck! But you're amazing, you wonderful old softie."While Marie was kissing and hugging me, the other girls descended on Angie. They helped her to put her collar on. Oh! I suppose I ought to describe my gift; The description in the store's on-line catalogue was, 'A discreet, rose gold, slave day-collar for submissives'. It was a fetching circlet of engine-turned pinkish-gold with a small ring, presumably for a leash, at the throat.When the women all settled down, Angie finally replied. "I understand. When I wear your collar my body and mind are yours, and I give them willingly." She thought for a moment. "How shall I address you? Do I call you Sir? Are you my Master?"I'd given that question some thought, even as I was deciding whether to buy the collar in the shop. "I'm still Geoff, and you are my lover, not my slave. You will obey me, though, and I will discipline you if you don't." I looked around the room. The other women seemed content with my approach. Now for the big moment."Angela. Lay on the bed and expose yourself."She took a deep breath. "Yes Geoff."She settled on the side of our bed, sitting upright, facing our little congregation. Slowly she parted her thighs to display a tiny jewel decorating the anal plug that her little ring of muscle was already accommodating to.I looked at the new girls. "Ladies. How would you like to share my new toy?" Without waiting for them to even consider how to reply, I turned to Angie and gazed into her eyes. She knew we were connecting and quivered as her body anticipated my next words. "Angela. Your master commands you. Go to your happy place and come."Sue and Margie were stunned when, at my words, Angie clenched her thighs together and slumped back on the bed giving every sign of climaxing. Margie spoke. "I am definitely asking if I can have whatever Angie's got, for Christmas.""Go on girls," I entreated them. "Before she comes down. Get her prepared. The more aroused she is the less discomfort she'll feel."Marie crossed to stand beside me. "That was lovely what you did for her, just now," she said, hugging me.I kissed the top of her head. "I actually wanted to talk to you first but when I saw how important this was to Angie, I just decided it was too perfect a moment to miss. Did I do right?""You did very well dear," she smiled.We stood like that for a couple of minutes watching two women we'd only met practice their newly discovered lesbian skills on our best friend. "Marie?" I began."Yes dear?""What are we? I mean you, me and Angie? Are we a;” I hesitated to even say the word. "Are we a throuple?""Geoffrey, I adore you but, if you ever use that word again, you and I are going to have a problem.""I know, I felt dirty just saying it. But seemingly not as dirty as Sue." We stopped our conversation and watched, fascinated, as Sue appeared to make Margie and Angie simultaneously shriek with delight. I shook my head to clear it. "Anyway." I tried to maintain my train of thought. "I was going to ask you about Angie's status; you know? Your friend, our lover. What is she? Is she part of our relationship? Or is she just a woman we have sex with? Will you think about it anyway? In the meantime, I think it's time to claim my thrall's last virginity."At some point, Sue and Margie had got naked and I managed to grab some delectable handfuls of flesh as I gently peeled them off Angie's body. I had red somewhere that anal sex in the doggy position is less comfortable for novices than when done prone. It looked like I may be on the way to having enough experience to comment but, for now, I decided missionary would do just fine.Again, research suggested that we should have vaginal sex first to relax my partner; this time, local knowledge, that is my Dom's command to his Sub, emphasized by a post hypnotic suggestion to orgasm followed by a two pronged lesbian assault, suggested to me that she would be about as sexed up as a woman can get without actually having three cocks inside her at the same time.And so, after Angie's lovely ceremony gifting me her last virginity, the moment arrived. Marie stepped up with the dispenser of lube and delicately applied it along little Geoff's length. She stood on tiptoe and kissed me. "Try not to hurt her, Geoff. She's been looking forward to this so much." I nodded. I knew that only too well.I knelt between Angie's thighs and felt rather than saw Marie, Margie and Sue draw close behind me. Angie looked up at me pleadingly. I smiled down at her and gently pulled out the tapered stainless steel plug that she'd inserted to ready her sphincter for penetration. Marie took it from me. Before the ring of muscle could recover its usual resting state I pushed forward as firmly as I could without hurting her.Angie gasped as this new intruder made its way inside her bowels. I paused. "Are you okay, babe?" I asked."It's so; It's such a strange feeling," she murmured. "It's not like anything I've felt before. Let me just get used to it for a moment."I paused. I was about two thirds inside her and I didn't seem to be causing her actual pain. I have to admit that I was having to get used to some odd sensations myself. The ass plug made my penetration less awkward than I'd expected, but her ring was tighter around my shaft than a cunt would have been. It was odd too, knowing that the skin on my cock was directly touching her bowel walls. Like Angie said, "such a strange feeling.""Go on. A bit more. I think I'm ready." She tensed, waiting for me to push."No babe. Relax," I told her. "We're nearly all the way there. A bit more lube please." That last comment aimed at Marie.How strange is my life that I can casually ask my wife to lube the part of my cock between my balls and her best friend's backside so that I can take her friend's anal virginity? How strange is her life that she did it anyway with a smile and another kiss for me. I pressed forward again and marveled at the sensation."Oh fuck!" Angie moaned as I bottomed out (Sorry, but I couldn't resist). "Fuck me Geoff. Do it now. Do it hard and fast."So I began, slowly at first, and not my favorite long strokes as I didn't want to pull out accidentally. Another time it might not matter, today it had to be right. So, gradually speeding up, I began to thrust in and out, each time as deep as I could get. I looked wordlessly at Marie and saw that she understood. The bowel doesn't have the same nerve endings as a cunt. We'd discussed this earlier, so Marie and the others began to use their hands on Angie's cunt and clit and their tongues on her tits.I could tell that she was getting close, Hell, so was I, but she wasn't able to keep focus on anything. Her body was just searching for that position, any position that would enhance the pleasure she was striving for. Her hands clutched at the sheets, the heads of the women suckling her tits, her own hair, as if she was trying to contain the sensations in her head. And then, she reached the peak. She seemed to freeze, as if movement would break the spell, and then she cried out, "O fuck! Yes! Yes! Yes!" And then, trembling, she began to relax.It was a relief when she blew, because I was so close myself. I wasn't sure if she even realized I'd come. As we all relaxed, my cock finally softened and slipped out of her bum and I sloped off to the bathroom to clean up. A surreptitious look on the way confirmed the effectiveness of the girls' preparation. I looked clean anyway. Regardless, little Geoff was getting a good wash.When I came out of the bathroom, Angie was sitting up on the bed, excitedly comparing notes with Marie, who'd had anal sex with me once before, although with a condom, and describing the sensation to the new girls who hadn't. From their conversation their attitude could more properly be described as, 'hadn't yet'. My alternate Friday nights for the next few weeks could end up being 'bareback bottom nights', particularly as Marie still wanted to try bareback too, at least once.What about me? Let's be clear, I'm not selfless, but I get pleasure from giving pleasure. I can't understand a man who would pump and dump in a woman in five minutes and think that was fun. I'd rather spend ten minutes loving her tits and at least the same again between her legs, knowing that when I actually enter her the resulting sex will be spectacular. So did I enjoy it? Yes. Would I do it again. Yes, if one or more of the girls wants to. Would it ruin my life I didn't? No. I have a wife and her permission to screw eight mature but attractive sex partners. I'm not going to moan about a shortage of anal sex. It's fun but I sometimes wonder if it's worth the attendant preparation and fuss.Sorry, got a bit introspective there. I went and sat next to Angie. She surprised me when she slipped off the bed and knelt in front of me. "Did I please you, Geoff? " She asked. Good girl. She's remembered she was wearing her collar."You did well," I reassured her. "Even when you wear your collar, I'll keep my promises to you. I was concerned that you were too invested in doing this for the first time. Was it what you hoped for?"She looked serious. "It was amazing and it was something I'd never done and I wanted the experience. But." She looked up at me. "Just as important, I wanted to do something with you that I'd not done with another man; and I knew Marie would be part of it.""Thank you, sweetheart, that was a lovely and special gesture." I bent down to kiss her. "Love you, Angie."As I sat back up I caught Marie's eye. She smiled and inclined her head slightly in acknowledgement of our previous conversation. She'd think about it and then we'd talk.Again, Sue and Margie joined me downstairs while Marie helped Angie clean up. They were only ten or fifteen minutes and when they came down Angie had taken her collar off. Good. I only wanted her to be submissive in the bedroom, anything else might be a step too far.By the time they got downstairs our filled ciabatta were already in the oven and the wine was open and ready to be poured. We sat at the dining table, the five of us just chatting and getting to know each other. Marie explained how our sexual reawakening happened and how it spread to include her friends and then Sue and Margie.When she got to the episode where we made a dirty video they insisted on seeing it so I went into the living room and set up the TV so that I could cast from my phone onto the big screen. When the girls had finished eating, they carried their drinks in to join me and I pressed play.I sat on one sofa with Marie and Angie while Margie and Sue sat together on the other. By the time the video finished I was in the presence of four rather horny women. Marie took charge. "Geoff, you promised Angie that your cock was hers today. So you take her to our room and I'll entertain our guests in the other. See you in a couple of hours." She gave me a huge kiss and herded Sue and Margie upstairs.I turned to Angie. "I'm all yours, sweetheart. What do you want to do?"She looked shyly at me. "You'll think I'm weird.""That ship disappeared over the horizon a long time ago, babe," I replied."Then; Then can we just go to bed and cuddle? I feel, I dunno, overwhelmed? I loved what you did for me but now I think I just want someone to hold me until the world settles again. See? Weird.""Not at all. You feel how you feel. If you need comfort and affection instead of sex, that's fine. I will warn you now though that if we both doze off there's a fair chance you'll wake up with little Geoff wedged into your bum crack."

The US Open 2025 Women's final is set and it's a rematch of THAT Wimbledon semifinals that saw Amanda Anisimova upset the world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a fabulous contest. Anisimova will be hoping to replicate that victory when she faces off against Sabalenka on Saturday night but will the memory of the 6-0 6-0 Wimbledon final defeat be in the back of her mind going into another final. Anisimova stunned two time former champion Naomi Osaka in the semi-final in three tight sets and 3 hours to advance to her second consecutive grand slam final. Osaka at one point was just one game away from a 3rd final in New York before Anisimova bounced back to power to victory. For Sabalenka the test was arguably even tougher in a rematch of the US Open final last year, she went down a set and in the final set only won 4 points against the Pegula serve and they all happened to be in one game whilst Pegula didn't take her 4 break point chances to level the match. Sabalenka will be seeking her 4th grand slam title and her 1st of the season whilst Anisimova will be seeking a maiden grand slam title.Joel and Chris make their predictions and they also preview the Men's semi-finals where Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic face off in the day session and Jannik Sinner takes on Felix Auger-Aliassime in the night session. They also look ahead to the women's doubles final from Flushing Meadows where Taylor Townsends seeks to cap off a phenomenal tournament for the American!

OMG! Pat & Seb finally got together for a brand new episode. So much has happened this summer that they are taking you on a 2 part recap journey. From Maine, to Wimbledon, to Japon and Paris... The boys have been busy. Part 2.

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.

Comme tous les jours, Eric Salliot vous raconte l'US Open 2025 en direct de Flushing Meadows. Aujourd'hui, place à la revanche d'Amanda Anisimova qui a éliminé Iga Swiatek. Après l'humiliation à Wimbledon (6-0, 6-0), Anisimova a pris le dessus sur son adversaire du jour. Elle retrouvera Naomi Osaka en demi-finale pour un duel qui s'annonce bouillant. Chez les garçons, match laborieux entre Félix Auger-Aliassime et Alex De Minaur. Le Canadien l'a emporté en quatre manches et retrouvera le TGV Jannik Sinner en demi-finale, qui n'a pas perdu de temps dans le derby italien face à Lorenzo Musetti (6-1, 6-4, 6-2).

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.

Catherine turned pro after college and has been playing on the ITF and WTA tours, where she has won both singles and doubles titles. During the interview, Catherine reflects on her professional journey, including her favorite tennis moment at Wimbledon. She talks about the "business" and psychology of playing professionally, some of her daily routines and how she manages a busy touring schedule, and then shares helpful coaching advice she's received, and offers advice to aspiring players about facing challenges and building resilience to succeed on and off the tennis court. It's a must watch for any tennis player and any junior player competing competitively.Catherine Harrison's Tennis JourneyCatherine Harrison, a professional tennis player, shares her journey from growing up in Memphis, Tennessee, to becoming a successful athlete. She discusses her early exposure to tennis, influenced by her parents who played collegiately, and her transition to a tennis academy in Florida, which was a significant turning point in her career.Catherine describes her experience at a tennis academy where she had a strict daily schedule from 7:45 AM to 5:30 PM, including match play and fitness sessions. She notes that the club had a competitive culture where the "cool kids" were those who dedicated themselves to training, unlike the more relaxed atmosphere she was used to. After one year due to her parents' living situation, she transitioned from being a good regional player to becoming top 10 in the country, with coach Peter Lebedevs, also a professional tennis tournament director, providing guidance throughout her junior career.Catherine's Journey to Professional TennisCatherine discusses her transition from junior to collegiate to professional tennis, highlighting a pivotal moment at the professional tournament held in Memphis, Tennessee at The Racquet Club of Memphis where she received a wild card and played on the stadium court for her WTA Tour main-draw debut at the 2011 Cellular South Cup, which solidified her dream of becoming a professional tennis player. She emphasized the importance of education, as both her parents played college tennis, and she valued the opportunity to receive a full four-year scholarship. Jeremy and Catherine then talk about her experience at UCLA, where she played college tennis and they share a mutual friend in coach, Giancarlo "G.C." Cava, who had a positive impact on her career. Catherine describes how she initially struggled with being placed lower in the lineup but eventually used that as an opportunity to develop consistency and mental discipline. She achieved a significant breakthrough by winning the Pac-12 tournament as a junior, which helped her transition to playing number one singles and doubles in her senior year.Challenges in Professional Tennis CareerCatherine then discusses the significant differences between college and professional tennis, highlighting the intense pressure and financial risks in the pro circuit. She details the meticulous planning and logistics required for tournaments, including equipment, travel, and health management.Catherine's Emotional Wimbledon VictoryCatherine shares her favorite tennis moment thus far, which was playing and winning matches at Wimbledon in 2022 after years of trying to qualify for the tournament. She describes her emotional journey, from being an alternate to winning her first and second-round qualifying matches, and ultimately reaching the final qualifying round. She manages to overcome her nerves and "nightmares" to win the match by channeling her inner strength. The victory was particularly meaningful for Catherine as it helped her overcome past struggles in important matches and marked her first taste of Grand Slam success.Overcoming Challenges in TennisCatherine discusses the psychological challenges of playing tennis, emphasizing the importance of overcoming adversity and using tennis as a platform to build confidence and resilience. Catherine shares her personal growth through tennis, highlighting the value of making quick decisions and trusting instincts during matches. She describes her morning routine and concludes with advice to aspiring tennis players, emphasizing that success often comes after facing challenges and setbacks.Follow Catherine Harrison on Instagram at / catharris0n

She emphasized the importance of education, as both her parents played college tennis, and she valued the opportunity to receive a full four-year scholarship. Jeremy and Catherine then talk about her experience at UCLA, where she played college tennis and they share a mutual friend in coach, Giancarlo "G.C." Cava, who had a positive impact on her career. Catherine describes how she initially struggled with being placed lower in the lineup but eventually used that as an opportunity to develop consistency and mental discipline. She achieved a significant breakthrough by winning the Pac-12 tournament as a junior, which helped her transition to playing number one singles and doubles in her senior year.Challenges in Professional Tennis CareerCatherine then discusses the significant differences between college and professional tennis, highlighting the intense pressure and financial risks in the pro circuit. She details the meticulous planning and logistics required for tournaments, including equipment, travel, and health management.Catherine's Emotional Wimbledon VictoryCatherine shares her favorite tennis moment thus far, which was playing and winning matches at Wimbledon in 2022 after years of trying to qualify for the tournament. She describes her emotional journey, from being an alternate to winning her first and second-round qualifying matches, and ultimately reaching the final qualifying round. She manages to overcome her nerves and "nightmares" to win the match by channeling her inner strength. The victory was particularly meaningful for Catherine as it helped her overcome past struggles in important matches and marked her first taste of Grand Slam success.Overcoming Challenges in TennisCatherine discusses the psychological challenges of playing tennis, emphasizing the importance of overcoming adversity and using tennis as a platform to build confidence and resilience. Catherine shares her personal growth through tennis, highlighting the value of making quick decisions and trusting instincts during matches.

20 killed in a strike on a Gaza hospital that Israel claims was a tragic accident; a push for renewed debate of net zero in the federal coalition; and in sport, two-time Wimbledon champ Petra Kvitova's career over, after she's knocked out of the U-S Open.

El deporte del miércoles con Jesús Gallego: el incidente en la primera etapa de La Vuelta en España, el segundo partido de Alcaraz en Wimbledon, la concentración de España en el Eurobasket, Celta y Betis se enfrentan en La Liga, el sorteo de la Champions y el mercado de fichajes a cinco días del cierre.

En el episodio de hoy nos metemos de lleno en el mundo deportivo con tres historias que están dando de qué hablar. Primero, el tenis mexicano vive un momento histórico con Renata Zarazúa, quien rompe décadas de sequía y logra hazañas que parecían imposibles en Wimbledon y el US Open. Luego, nos sumergimos en la eterna polémica del arbitraje en el fútbol mexicano y cómo las decisiones del ‘Gato' Ortiz alimentan la narrativa de que al América siempre lo ayudan. Y por si fuera poco, hablamos con Ángel ‘La Coca' González, el cazatalentos que descubrió a Cuauhtémoc Blanco y al Chucky Lozano, con quien debatimos por qué México no explota su verdadero potencial futbolístico. Un episodio que mezcla gloria, controversia y secretos de formación que cambiarían el deporte mexicano para siempre.

Catherine, David and Matt were live in New York to look back on the opening day of the US Open Mixed Doubles and the closing stages of Cincinnati. We start by discussing the Mixed Doubles - what worked, what didn't, how did our feelings about the event evolve, and which teams really stood out? Moving onto Cincinnati, has Iga Swiatek made herself the US Open favourite after her title there? We discuss her victory over Jasmine Paolini in the final, the confidence she's playing with after Wimbledon, and the way she's turned her head-to-head with Elena Rybakina around. There's also chat about where Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are at heading into New York. On the men's side, how much did we actually learn after Jannik Sinner was forced to retire against Carlos Alcaraz in the Cincinnati final? Finally, we cover the shocking prize money discrepancy that still exists in Cincinnati, a couple of US Open talking points, and the retirement of Kyle Edmund.

When you have two guests on one show, you're going to get a variety of topics, especially when they have such diverse interests as tennis great Patrick McEnroe and Broadway icon Melissa Errico. The two, married 26 years, take us on a very friendly and relaxing jaunt through a very old-timey English castle (that somehow has a sauna and Pilates room), various off-the-beaten-path tourist spots in Italy, plus Frankfurt, Copenhagen, and Capri, home of those pants. And we get in plenty of discussion of tennis, which you can enjoy without keeping score (in that weird tennis way), running, or grunting. You can just lie down and let the anecdotes wash over you. Patrick tells us that his older brother, John McEnroe, has recorded a sleep story for a major sleep aid app, but that will cost you money and our show won't. Also, while Patrick will definitely send you to sleep, we have a hard time believing the same about John, having seen him get really super mad at line judges.Listen to Melissa Errico's album Lullabies & Wildflowers on the streaming service of your choice.Go to www.maximumfun.org/join and select Sleeping with Celebrities to support our show.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?Email us at: sleepwithcelebs@maximumfun.org.Follow the Show on:Instagram @sleepwcelebsBluesky @sleepwithcelebsTikTok @SleepWithCelebsJohn is on Bluesky @JohnMoeJohn's acclaimed, best-selling memoir, The Hilarious World of Depression, is now available in paperback.

Adam kicks things off by sharing his excitement for the upcoming Rolex Historics at Monterey's Laguna Seca before chatting about his plans to spend time aboard Rick Caruso's massive superyacht. He then reacts to Stephen A. Smith's explanation of why Pete Buttigieg is polling at 0% among black voters despite leading the 2028 Democratic primary race overall, and weighs in on Denver's bid to host the Gay Games. Then, Adam and Jason “Mayhem” Miller dive into trending headlines, from Emma Raducanu wanting a crying baby removed during a tense 23-minute game, to Jannik Sinner's Wimbledon serve being interrupted by a rogue champagne cork, to Los Angeles officials cracking down on dangerous street takeover meet-ups with tougher penalties and possible jail time.Then, renowned attorney and author Alan Dershowitz calls in! Adam opens by asking about the importance of political balance in American governance before shifting focus to the growing challenges of living in California. Alan connects the homelessness crisis in major cities to policy decisions dating back to Ronald Reagan, while Adam voices concern over the increasing trend of corporations and publications blacklisting people for their political views. They also touch on the controversies surrounding Jeffrey Epstein—including Alan's own legal entanglements, Trump's alleged involvement, and the mystery of Epstein's wealth—before Alan shares his candid thoughts on the Democratic Party and the Obamas.Lastly, Adam recaps his recent fire vlog where he interviews Rick Caruso about how he successfully protected his properties during the Southern California wildfires. Adam and Jason Mayhem Miller discuss the value of trade work, with Adam arguing that college isn't always the best—or only—path to a successful career. They also point out Caltrans work trucks they always see on the freeway and imagine the nightmare of crashing into one. Finally, Adam vents his frustration over a Los Angeles tunnel being tagged with graffiti less than a day after it was repainted, using it as a jumping-off point to rant about modern parenting and the need to teach kids common sense.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH ALAN DERSHOWITZ:BOOK: The Preventive State: Challenge of Preventing Serious Harms While Preserving Essential LibertiesTWITTER: @AlanDershFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnlineHomes.comoreillyauto.com/ADAMOpenPhone.com/adamPluto.tvThriveMarket.com/ACSLIVE SHOWS: August 29 - Provo, UTAugust 31 - Torrance, CASeptember 6 - Charlotte, NCSeptember 12-13 - El Paso, TX (4 Shows)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yesterday, you may have felt a shift in the air around 2:12pm. The squealing. The frantic maths. Whispers of 'TS12', New Heights, showgirls - that's certainly what it was like in the Mamamia office. Taylor Swift has officially re-emerged, and Jessie has a theory about the new album announcement that left the entire Out Loud team absolutely speechless. Plus, we can't agree on a viral tennis match moment. Who decides what public spaces children are allowed to be in? We unpack what happens when society becomes less and less tolerant of children. And, Jessie has some feedback about a type of music dubbed 'the millennials genre'. Don't worry, we explain what it all means and why some of us... are mildly offended.
