At just 1m65, Justine Henin defied all odds to become World No.1 and win 7 Grand Slam titles. Behind the elegant one-handed backhand and the trophies, her story is one of resilience, loss, and an unshakable belief in herself.In this intimate conversation on Tennis Insider Club, Henin opens up about:Growing up in a small Belgian town and finding her place in the family after tragedy.The role of her brothers, father, and late mother in shaping her character.Why she resisted pressure to change her iconic one-handed backhand.The painful years after losing her mother at 12, and how tennis became both an escape and a fight.Her complicated relationship with her father and the courage to leave home at 17 to pursue her dream.What it really takes to beat bigger, stronger opponents like Serena & Venus Williams.The pressures of early success, burnout, and why she retired at 25.Why she believes academies and parents must work together to protect kids from becoming “broken players.”Life after tennis: motherhood, running her academy, and finding happiness outside the spotlight.

In this episode of the She2.0 Podcast, I sit down with Elisa Kosonen, a former fashion editor turned registered holistic nutritionist and founder of 14 Carrots - a practice helping women reclaim their energy, resilience, and joy in midlife. We talk about:✨ The scary-but-thrilling reality of making a midlife career pivot✨ Burnout red flags every woman should watch for✨ Why perimenopause is the “runway” to menopause - and how to make the landing smoother✨ The transferable skills you already have (yes, you're more qualified than you think)✨ What it really takes to start over at 40+ If you've ever thought “Is this it?” while staring down your career, relationships, or health in midlife, this conversation is proof that change is not only possible, it can be the best thing you ever do.

We're in the business end of the Women's Rugby World Cup, but a former Black Ferns captain is warning against getting cocky. The Black Ferns have made light work of Spain, Japan, Ireland, and South Africa, leading them to the semi-finals. Saturday morning will see them face off against the World No 2 team – Canada. Former Captain Dr Farah Palmer told Mike Hosking that although it's likely we'll make it through and face England in the final, she wouldn't take Canada lightly. She says the last time we played Canada was a draw, and the time before that was a loss, so we need to focus on Canada first, not the finals.

It was the inaugural edition of the São Paulo Open, marking the WTA's return to the city after a long absence. Rakotomanga Rajaonah was outside the top 200 before the tournament; her win vaults her up in the rankings to a career high of No. 131. Key stats/factors:She converted 4 of 8 break point chances, while Tjen managed only 2 of 10. Rakotomanga Rajaonah didn't hit an ace in the final, and committed five double faults, but her serve percentages and second-serve resilience were strong. Tjen had a strong first-serve performance, but she struggled significantly on her second serve. Jovic wins GuadalajaraWinner: 17-year-old Iva Jovic (USA) picked up her first WTA title at the Guadalajara Open Akron (WTA 500 event), beating Emiliana Arango (Colombia) 6-4, 6-1 in the final. With this win, Jovic becomes the youngest winner on the WTA Tour this season. She had to battle in earlier rounds, including saving multiple break points and pushing through some tight matches. In the final, she dominated from the return, saved break points, and used momentum well. The victory also gives a large boost in prize money (~US$164,000) and ranking points, moving her significantly up in the race. Seoul Preview (Korea Open 2025)Here's what to look out for as the tour shifts to Seoul:The Korea Open Tennis Championships in Seoul are a WTA 500 event, outdoor hard courts. Prize money is ~$1,064,510, and a strong field is expected. Key players / seedsIga Świątek — World No. 2, top seed; she's making her Seoul debut. Amanda Anisimova — Seeded high; coming off strong results. Ekaterina Alexandrova — Former Seoul champion, familiar with the conditions. Clara Tauson, Daria Kasatkina, Beatriz Haddad Maia (defending champ), Emma Raducanu among others — mix of experience and rising forms. What to watch / storyline anglesWhether Świątek can break her WTA 500 title drought — she hasn't won a 500-level since Stuttgart 2023. The defending champion Haddad Maia will be looking to defend points and maintain momentum. The wildcard entries (especially local players) might shake things up; local crowd support could matter. Rising players might use this as a springboard late in the season (for rankings, confidence, etc.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Men's tennis has always been defined by legendary rivalries. For nearly two decades, the Big Three – Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Novak Djokovic – treated us to unforgettable clashes on the sport's biggest stages. That era has finally passed, and a new duopoly is taking centre stage. In this weekender episode, we delve into the exciting rivalry between World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and World No. 2 Jannik Sinner, who most recently clashed in the U.S. Open final. They became the first men in history to contest three major finals in a single calendar year. What makes this rivalry so compelling? How do they compare to the Big Three? And will their dominance shape the ATP tour for years to come? Guest: N.

The US Open is over, and the guys are here to break it all down. Sam, Jack, John, and Steve dive into the men's and women's finals and what really decided them. Carlos Alcaraz overpowered Jannik Sinner with a relentlessness performance that capped off a dominant campaign. Did Sinner ever really have a shot, or was it always Alcaraz's title to lose? The guys don't exactly see eye to eye! In the women's final, Aryna Sabalenka extended her wild tiebreak streak to 19 straight while taking out Amanda Anisimova. With her first Major of the season, she leaves New York looking every bit the rightful World No. 1.

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.

Day 2 of dressage did not dissapoint. Austin O'Connor and Colorado Blue dropped the best Irish test here in 25 years (!!), Oliver Townend and Cooley Rosalent kept the pressure bubbling, and Harry Meade had the most hairy warm-up disruption before somehow pulling it back together. Ros Canter? Cool as ever, reminding everyone why Walter is Walter.

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.

… and breathe! It's been another couple of days of high drama in Round 4 at the US Open in New York City. We kick off with Naomi Osaka's stunning win over Coco Gauff, a straight-sets victory that puts her into her first Slam quarterfinal in more than four years — and marks her first top-five win since 2018. Osaka has always won a Grand Slam every time she has reached the quarterfinals - Joel and Kim discuss can she do it again? We also talk Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic, who both continued their serene progress into the last eight, with the Spaniard looking very much the part on serve (less said about the barnet the better!).Elsewhere, Daniil Medvedev has split with long-time coach Gilles Cervara after eight successful years, sparking questions about where the former World No. 1 goes next. Mouratoglou? Ivanesevic? No one?! Barbora Krejcikova also pulled off the escape of the tournament, saving eight match points to deny Taylor Townsend in a dramatic Arthur Ashe clash that truly showed what Grand Slam champion mentality looks like, whilst a resurgent Felix Auger-Aliassime produced fearless tennis to dismantle Andrey Rublev and book a quarterfinal against the under the radar Alex de Minaur. Plus, we get excited overIga Swiatek's statement win, Marketa Vondrousova's ball bashing upset of Elena Rybakina, and the bizarre “hat-stealing” story - now with an apology from the Polish CEO - that's taken social media by storm!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.

Coco Gauff beat Magdelena Frech 6-2, 6-3 in the first match on Arthur Ashe. The third seed, who said she “felt a lot lighter going on court”, put up some good numbers against Frech. Stat sheet made for nice reading for the 2023 champion, too. Was nearly perfect at the net 10/11, won 71% of points on first serve and only hit four double faults (one in the first and three in the second). Naomi Osaka handled (15)Daria Kasatkina in three sets – 6-0, 4-6, 6-2 on Louis Armstrong. The two-time champ was near flawless in the first set, had a wobble in the second after Kasatkina raised her level, but locked back in during the third set to close out the match and book her place in the second week. The Japanese shared her thoughts on facing Gauff. Felix Auger-Aliassime took down third seed Alexander Zverev in four sets – 4-6, 7-6, 6-4, 6-4 – in a performance that took us back to the days when FAA was a top 10 player. The Canadian was teeing off from the forehand wing and was evidently loving the conditions in New York, which he alluded to during his post-match presser. Venus Williams and Leylah Fernandez are going strong in doubles, they beat Ulrikke Eikeri and Eri Hozumi 7-6(1), 6-1. So are top seeds Taylor Townsend and Katerina Siniakova, who beat Alycia Parks and Dayana Yastremska 6-3, 6-3 on a packed Court 12. Credits: US Open Tennis Championships.

Taylor Townsend picked up from where she left off against Jelena Ostapenko, this time seeing off world No 5 Mirra Andreeva inside a busy Arthur Ashe stadium. Townsend was an example of staying in the moment, recovering from an early break down in the first set and seemingly going on to cruise in set two. The doubles world No 1's stardom continues to rise. Now to the defeats, Jasmine Paolini fell to Marketa Vondrousova on Grandstand. The Italian seventh seed was the better player in the first set and had two looks at a break point but was unable to convert. The second set was a complete switchup, and to Paolini's credit she admitted nerves got the better of her. Frances Tiafoe, the 17th seed, had no answer for qualifier Jan-Lennard Struff, who took the American down in three sets. The two-time US Open semi-finalist was unable to create any real openings and was not looking to make any excuses afterwards. And finally, Ben Shelton, the sixth seed, was forced to retire against crafty Frenchman Adrian Mannarino at two sets all. Shelton, who left the court in tears, appeared to have hurt his left shoulder. The 22-year-old was able to put things into perspective in his post-match presser.

It's US Open lead-up week, which can only mean one thing… Mixed Doubles madness! But that's not all — Cincinnati once again proved brutal, delivering one of the toughest two-week stretches on tour as players battled the sweltering Ohio heat and a wave of retirements.

In this tender and illuminating episode, we're exploring what it means to live from your center and shine your light — even when it feels small. Drawing from the words of Jesus in Matthew 5:14, "You are the light of the world," we'll look at three kinds of light we're invited to be in the world: lower lights, luminaries, and lighthouses. Each serves a sacred purpose — including yours. You'll hear the moving backstory behind the beloved hymn “Brightly Beams Our Father's Mercy” and learn why the “lower lights” matter more than we realize — especially for women in midlife who might feel like their light is dim or overlooked. We'll also transition into a guided meditation inspired by questions that invite you to reconnect with your true light:

World No. 3 Alexander Zverev stops by for what might be the funniest and most dehydrated interview of his life. Battling full-body cramps (seriously), Zverev still dives into it all: the crash after the Australian Open final, the mistakes he's owned, and what it'll take to finally leave the 'No Majors' club. The crew discuss mental health, public pressure, and the wild experience of being coached by both Toni AND Rafael Nadal that resulted in an incredible story of Rafa giving a forehand masterclass in the middle of an intense dinner that went until at 1AM.... Zverev gives Sam a hard time, questions the so-called “Golden Generation” of the 1980s, and opens up about traveling with dogs, his growing collection of questionable gold chains, before being put on the Nothing Major Hot Seat.  One of the funniest, weirdest, and most honest chats we've had with a top player. And yes, the cramps made the cut!

Moving Day at the 153rd Open Championship was everything we could have hoped for, and more! Smylie Kaufman spent the day listening to     roars (RORS?) echoing across Northern Ireland, as their native son Rory McIlroy mounted a charge that sees him in the penultimate group on Sunday. Smylie joins Charlie Hulme to explore any possible scenario that doesn't see Scottie Scheffler hoisting the Claret Jug, as the World No. 1 holds a four-shot lead, and has executed his gameplan to perfection at Royal Portrush. SK gives his notes on Haotong Li after watching him post a two-under 69 on Saturday to join Scottie in the final group, while exploring the possibility that two current Ryder Cup outsiders - Matt Fitzpatrick and Chris Gotterup - could find their way onto their respective teams with a top-five finish.

The highlight of the day on the course was World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler posting 64 to head into the weekend with a one-shot lead. Smylie and Charlie discuss whether it's more likely that other players make their way back into the fold, or Scottie runs away with it to win his fourth major, leaving him a U.S. Open title away from a career Grand Slam.
