Alexandra Eala vs Joanna Garland — full preview, head-to-head breakdown and prediction for their QUARTERFINAL at the 2026 ASIAN GAMES in Aichi-Nagoya. The top seed goes for a medal, and a bounce-back after Singapore.Alex Eala is the TOP SEED here and she has started exactly as she needed to. Days after a chastening second-round exit at the Singapore Open — beaten 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 by World No. 180 Tatiana Prozorova after leading by a set and 4-2 — the World No. 18 answered emphatically, routing Thailand's Patcharin Cheapchandej 6-1, 6-0 in just 55 MINUTES at the Higashiyama Park Tennis Center.She arrives carrying the summer that changed Philippine tennis: the FIRST WTA SINGLES TITLE ever won by a player from the Philippines at the DC Open in Washington, a Toronto round of 16, and a US Open third round as the highest-seeded Filipina in Grand Slam history. A gold medal here would be another first — and the stakes at a Games go beyond ranking points.Joanna Garland is not a soft quarterfinal. Chinese Taipei's leading player, the 25-year-old has been ruthless in Nagoya: a 6-0, 6-0 DOUBLE BAGEL over Mongolia's Martaa Chogsomjav in the first round, then a 6-1, 6-1 win over Mandegar Farzami. That's THREE GAMES DROPPED IN TWO MATCHES. She is ranked outside the world's top 140, but she is playing with total freedom and has had an easier physical passage than most.They have never played. Eala is the clear favourite on ranking and pedigree — but Singapore was a reminder that the gap closes fast when a lower-ranked opponent arrives sharp and believing.

Elena Rybakina has beaten Aryna Sabalenka in both the US Open and the Australian Open in tough three sets, leaving Sabalenka without a major title for the first time since 2022. She's certainly the best player in the world right now, at least she has the highset peak level an has been able to find it when it mattered most.But while Rybakina is a good 1000 points ahead of Sabalenka in the WTA Race, a lot still needs to happen before we call it a season. Two WTA 1000 events are happening in China, a number of 500 events still need to take place, and, of course, the WTA Finals, which can award a maximum of 1500 points to the winner if undefeated.And Sabalenka herself, who will be looking to end the year on a high note after a disappointing season for her standards, should be looking in the rear mirror: the Top 5 is very strong and not far behind, as Coco Gauff and Mirra Andreeva are growing in their games and belief that they deserve to be at the top of the game.As for Iga Swiatek, it doesn't look very good right now, so maybe her sight should be set on just the next tournament ahead, and to having a better 2027 - 2026 was pretty much a year to forget despite a strong showing in the North American swing post Wimbledon.

With an extra long international break upon us, it is time to take our first proper look at what the early parts of the season have delivered, and to Charlie Snr's no great surprise, Spurs have continued to heap more pain on their fanbase. But why? This was also the week where Manchester United released their accounts, showing record revenues, but there is much more to the story than that. Clearlake have now really got the keys to Chelsea, albeit at a price which seems hard to justify based on, well, everything that the club has done in the last few years. Add to all this a look at whether Eddie Hearn really could transform rugby into the powerhouse he believes the sport should be, and why the WTA have been allowed to flutter away a major cash injection from CVC, and we have ourselves a breakdown.Disclaimer:The content of this podcast is intended as commentary and opinion on matters of public interest in the sports industry.

Alexandra Eala is out of the Singapore Tennis Open. The No. 3 seed was beaten 4-6, 7-5, 6-3 by World No. 180 Tatiana Prozorova in a three-hour-nine-minute marathon — and she led by a set and 4-2 in the second. Full post-match analysis of what went wrong.The position Eala was in makes this one sting. She took the opening set 6-4 and broke for 4-2 in the second, a game away from a routine win and a quarterfinal. From there Prozorova took FIVE OF THE NEXT SIX GAMES to force a decider, and then pulled away in the third.For Prozorova it is the win of her career. The 22-year-old Russian had just THREE WTA TOUR-LEVEL WINS to her name before this week in Singapore, and this is her FIRST EVER TOP 20 VICTORY. She had already come through a three-setter against Sofia Costoulas 5-7, 7-6(2), 6-2 in the previous round, so she arrived with court time and clearly with belief.For Eala it is a genuinely disappointing exit. Seeded third, with a first-round bye, withdrawals opening up her section, and a projected route through Vekic and Anisimova, this was the friendliest draw she has had at this level — a real chance at a second career WTA title after her historic first in Washington. Entering cold off a bye against an opponent already sharp from a three-set win is exactly the trap we flagged in the preview, and it played out.In this video: where the second set turned, the serving and break-point numbers, whether the bye and the Asian swing scheduling were factors, how much of this was Prozorova playing above herself versus Eala's own level, and what it means for her ranking heading into the rest of the swing.

What if the spot that hurts is not actually the problem? After 26 years fixing bodies, David Starbuck Smith says most chronic pain starts somewhere else entirely. Exercise therapist and functional anatomist David Starbuck Smith rebuilt the bodies of NFL, ATP, and WTA athletes and consulted for the San Francisco 49ers. In this episode he explains why non-traumatic pain is almost always a whole-body alignment problem, how to spot your own imbalances at home, and why varied movement keeps you strong and pain-free as you age. Meet our guest David Starbuck Smith is a former pro tennis player turned exercise therapist, trained under Pete Egoscue. He is an expert on posture, alignment, and joint mechanics, has written three books on relieving pain, and now coaches clients worldwide through The Daily Motion Lab.

An MRI tells you the what, not the why, and misses the imbalance behind the injury. Roughly 80 to 95 percent of people get back pain; non-traumatic pain means an imbalance. Strengthening an imbalanced body only deepens the imbalance. A painful muscle is usually switched off, not weak; alignment brings the strength back. Movement variety, more than any single workout, is what a Harvard finding links to longevity. Age is not the cause of decline; lost motion is.

Alexander Zverev peut-il faire un bon numéro un mondial ? L'Allemand vient d'enchaîner trois finales de Grand Chelem consécutives et compte deux titres en 2026. Il inscrit son nom parmi les très grands de ce sport. Pourtant, les débats subsistent autour de lui et notamment sur sa personnalité controversée. Côté féminin, Elena Rybakina prend le pouvoir du circuit WTA. La Kazhastanaise titrée face à Sabalenka sur l'US Open s'empare de la place de n°1 mondiale. Dans la planète bleue, Anthony Rech, Eric Salliot et Florent Serra s'interrogent sur la Coupe Davis !
Jimmy and Brett are back from NYC and the US Open and are ready to discuss everything they saw on finals weekend. Joined by traveling buddy and friend of the show Spencer Segura, they break it all down. Zverev gets his second major of the summer and has quickly changed his career narrative from the best to not win one, to a first ballot hall of famer. Ben Shelton had a great two week run, beating quality opponents at every round along the way. He just ran into a better player in the final in Zverev. Ben is getting closer to being the first American man to win a major since Andy Roddick in 2003, what can he do to improve? Elena Rybakina was supposed to be hurt coming into Flushing Meadows. But boy did she play some amazing tennis to take home the trophy and become the newest member of the #1 club. Aryna Sabalenka looked good getting to the US Open finals, but just ran into a player who was player better and was more focused. Maybe this will be a good wake up call for her to try and regain her place at the top of the WTA tour. Leave us a 5 start review and share us with a friend!

Welcome, friends!Why do we LOVE female rage when it's on a screen, hanging in a museum, or packaged into the perfect TikTok edit, yet become deeply uncomfortable when real women get angry?In this episode, we explore the aesthetics of female rage, from the pressure to remain beautiful and agreeable to the racial stereotypes and double standards that shape how women's anger is perceived. We look at what happens when women swallow their anger, what happens when they finally explode, and why female fury can become so compelling when it's transformed into art, literature and pop culture. And what if rage isn't always an explosion? Sometimes, it simply says: ENOUGH.Are. You. Ready?****************Sources & Further Reading:Brescoll, Victoria L., and Eric Luis Uhlmann.

For this episode, let's revisit a strategy skills classic featuring an interview with the authors of Fair Shake: Women and the Fight to Build a Just Economy, Naomi Cahn, June Carbone, and Nancy Levit. This book explains that the system that governs our economy—a winner-take-all economy—is the root cause of these myriad problems. The WTA economy self-selects for aggressive, cutthroat business tactics, which creates a feedback loop that sidelines women. The authors, three legal scholars, call this feedback loop "the triple bind": if women don't compete on the same terms as men, they lose; if women do compete on the same terms as men, they're punished more harshly for their sharp elbows or actual misdeeds; and when women see that they can't win on the same terms as men, they take themselves out of the game (if they haven't been pushed out already). With odds like these stacked against them, it's no wonder women feel like, no matter how hard they work, they can't get ahead. Naomi Cahn is the Justice Anthony M. Kennedy Distinguished Professor of Law at the University of Virginia School of Law, as well as the Co-Director of the Family Law Center. Cahn is the author or editor of numerous books written for both academic and trade publishers, including Red Families v. Blue Families and Homeward Bound. In 2017, Cahn received the Harry Krause Lifetime Achievement in Family Law Award from the University of Illinois College of Law and in 2024 she was inducted into the Clayton Alumni Hall of Fame. June Carbone is the Robina Chair of Law, Science and Technology at the University of Minnesota Law School. Previously she has served as the Edward A. Smith/Missouri Chair of Law, the Constitution and Society at the University of Missouri at Kansas City; and as the Associate Dean for Professional Development and Presidential Professor of Ethics and the Common Good at Santa Clara University School of Law. She has written From Partners to Parents and co-written Red Families v. Blue Families; Marriage Markets; and Family Law. She is a co-editor of the International Survey of Family Law. Nancy Levit is the Associate Dean for Faculty and holds a Curator's Professorship at the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law. Professor Levit has been voted Outstanding Professor of the Year five times by students and was profiled in Dean Michael Hunter Schwartz's book, What the Best Law Teachers Do. She has received the N.T. Veatch Award for Distinguished Research and Creative Activity and the Missouri Governor's Award for Teaching Excellence.

John Lloyd joins the podcast to recap the 2026 US Open finals, which saw Alexander Zverev and Elena Rybakina reign over the tennis world. Lloyd explains how Zverev enacted a masterful strategy from start to finish against Ben Shelton, and goes in depth about why Zverev is a different player now that he has broken through and won major titles. The former British No. 1 also evaluates Ben Shelton's game and the American's potential to win a slam in the future. Lloyd reviews the high-quality tennis that Rybakina played in her final victory over Aryna Sabalenka, and why the newly minted No. 1 player in the world has embraced the role. Lloyd also gives his thoughts on Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula as well as a few other players he enjoys watching on the WTA. And Lloyd makes his passionate plea for areas that tennis can improve, from axing early morning finishes and limiting time in between first and second serves, to his more controversial take... the end of best-of-5 sets.

Elena Rybakina is a US Open champion—but could this be only the beginning of a new era of dominance? On this week's WTA Weekly, we reflect on Rybakina's magnificent triumph in New York and ask how many Grand Slam titles she could ultimately win. Does she now have the game—and the belief—to challenge for every major? We also assess the chasing pack after a dramatic US Open. How will Aryna Sabalenka respond to another painful defeat? Can Iga Swiatek rediscover her best tennis? And will Coco Gauff bounce back and add to her Grand Slam collection? Plus, we discuss the biggest stories from Flushing Meadows and what the results could mean for the balance of power at the top of the women's game.

Catherine Whitaker, David Law and Matt Roberts react to another day of US Open action, headlined by Elena Rybakina winning the match she needed to guarantee that she will be the new women's world number one on Monday. Part one - We cover two more compelling women's quarter-finals as Rybakina beat Zheng Qinwen and Coco Gauff saved a couple of match points to defeat Mirra Andreeva. In what way does Rybakina becoming world number one signal a new era for the WTA? Will this run be a catalyst for Zheng? What happened to Gauff's serve and forehand in the first two sets of her quarter-final? And how did she still manage to win the match? Part two (24:53) - The men's matches were far less interesting on Wednesday but we discuss Karen Khachanov reaching a third major semi-final after Alexander Blockx was forced to retire, and Alexander Zverev's straight sets win against Botic van de Zandschulp. What is going on with Zverev's ball bouncing? Will he pick up his form this tournament or not? And how much of an obstacle will Khachanov be for him in the semis?Part three (39:22) - Preview and predictions for the women's semi-finals.

What is it really like coaching one of the best tennis players in the world and helping them handle the pressure that comes with it? In this episode, we sit down with Jason Stacy, performance coach to Aryna Sabalenka, and not only talk about his new book, The Pressure Code, but the lessons he's learned through coaching, competition, and life. Jason also takes us behind the scenes of working with one of the biggest stars in professional tennis and shares his perspective on handling pressure, overcoming setbacks, building confidence, and learning from difficult experiences. We get honest about Aryna Sabalenka's 2026 tennis season, including some of the challenges, shortcomings, and areas where there is still room to grow, even as the WTA #1 player at the highest level of the game. From professional tennis and high-pressure moments to everyday life, this conversation explores how we respond when things don't go according to plan. And, how pressure can become something we learn to understand, manage, and even use to our advantage. Whether you're a tennis player, coach, athlete, competitor, or simply someone navigating pressure in everyday life, this episode is packed with on AND off court insight!

Enjoy *** Women's seeds out: No 7 Karolina Muchova (lost to Emma Navarro), No 15 Diana Shnaider (lost to Taylor Townsend), No 18 Ekaterina Alexandrova (lost to Marta Kostyuk) Men's seeds out: No 15 Alexander Bublik (lost to Tommy Paul); No 26 Arthur Rinderknech (lost to Daniil Medvedev) I think the Serena Williams thing has run its course. That is not to say she is not a legend of the game, the GOAT in many people's eyes, or that she will not continue to fill stadiums if she keeps playing. But you have to think the integrity of a tennis tournament will start to come under threat if she - in singles or doubles - does not start winning some matches. Caroline Wozniacki on ESPN hinted she was planning to play singles again in 2027. I'm not sure it's a great idea. This was the second time in four years that she and her sister had graced night session on Arthur Ashe for a first-round doubles match, beaten then and beaten on Friday night. The match against the No 14 seeds Maya Joint and Angel Chan did not even get onto ESPN's main channel, instead relegated to ESPN2 so they could build up to Miami vs Stanford uninterrupted. Perhaps that is not such a big deal in the age of streaming but it felt significant. And the Williamses weren't particularly good, either. Chan and Joint are a decent pair - they won a WTA title only last week - but they were so much more polished and efficient than their more experienced opponents, who racked up unforced errors at a far greater rate. They did manage to nick the second set and Chan-Joint did get tight, but from 5-0 up in the deciding breaker, the Williams sisters choked, frankly. Joint has now beaten Serena twice this year but otherwise endured a difficult year, and it showed in pressure moments. Even when match point had been sealed, Joint was still apologising to her partner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
One of us is heading to New York for the 2026 US Open as we speak. On our preview episode, we talk about the first real fight for the women's #1 ranking in a while; the surging Gauff, Swiatek, and Pegula; the absolute state of the men's draw without Jannik and with a questionable Alcaraz; and those poised for huge breakthroughs if things shake out right (Fils? Eala?). We discuss the wild card snub and later non-snub of Stan Wawrinka. Later, some reflections on the mixed doubles exhibition – fun ‘til it wasn't – and the joy of seeing Muchova and Mensik win and the extroversion twins Carlos and Serena hang out together. 1:30 Coco & Arthur take Cincinnati 7:50 The race for #1 and other WTA storylines 10:35 Women's draw 24:05 Wild cards are not meritocratic (and they're not supposed to be) 30:10 Men's draw: Carlos is back, Jannik is not 42:05 The mixed doubles exhibition 51:10 The Roger Federer Laser Light Show 54:30 Remembering Dolly Parton
