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

In episode 207 of

Catherine, David and Matt catch up as Cincinnati reaches the quarter-finals stage after a Last 16 bonanza which saw both top seeds lose. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 26:35). We react to yet another early exit for Aryna Sabalenka, this time to the impressive Sara Beljek. We discuss what Bejlek did well but also what is going on with Sabalenka. How much trouble is she in heading into New York? There's also chat about Elena Rybakina's chance to seize the World No.1 Ranking, and whether Amanda Anisimova can finally get a win over Jessica Pegula after finding her best form to beat Alex Eala and Linda Noskova. Part two - ATP (26:36 - 46:36). Taylor Fritz is the only Masters 1000 champion left in the field following Alexander Zverev's loss from match point up against Tommy Paul. How much of a concern is Zverev's form ahead of the US Open? We also reflect on Flavio Cobolli's excellent comeback to beat Rafael Jodar, Lorenzo Musetti's quiet run of form which he can now put to the test against Frances Tiafoe, and David's excitement about Arthur Fils is growing. Part three - News (46:37 - 1:14:37). We react to the US Open mixed doubles field, its wildcard announcements, and Nick Kyrgios testing positive for cocaine. We will be live on the US Open stage reacting to the singles draws on Thursday 27th August at 1pm. Please come along if you're at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre that day during Fan Week!

In the second (and longer) part of their recording session this week, Ben and Tumaini fanned out into a range of recent events topics from the last month of tennis, catching up on what's been both a busy yet also quiet stretch of the season.  We start with the uncertainties around Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz for New York, after both missed both Canada and Cincinnati. We also discuss Alcaraz's cornrows (remember those?).  Of players who did play up north, we discuss champs Ben Shelton and Iga Swiatek. We also catch up on rising stars Alex Eala and Rafael Jodar, both of whom are inspiring strong reactions.  We also cover the Marketa Vondrousova doping ban decision in full, and also the WTA's decision to start doing genetic sex tests on its players, news first broken on Bounces. Tumaini then closes the show by describing his in-person experience going to see Ms. Lauryn Hill. Thank you for listening! You can read Ben's work at Bounces and Tumaini's at The Guardian. Our Patreon is back up and running to ensure NCR keeps going and stays ad-free, and we hope you can join in supporting NCR!

The speaker shares their thoughts on the matter, questioning the league's handling of the situation and its implications for the future of women's sports. The WNBA has been at the center of controversy, with some critics accusing the league of being a "grievance league" that prioritizes social justice over fair play. The speaker discusses the league's financial struggles and its reliance on the NBA for funding, highlighting the need for a more sustainable business model. They also touch on the issue of trans athletes in women's sports, citing the recent comments of WNBA players and the league's response. The speaker argues that the WNBA's policies are unclear and inconsistent, leading to confusion and frustration among players and fans. They point to the example of Enis Canner, a trans athlete who has spoken out against the league's policies, and the WTA's decision to implement gender tests for its players. The speaker believes that the WNBA should follow the WTA's lead and establish clear guidelines for trans athletes. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in women's sports, social justice, and the complexities of identity.

Become a Supporter of The Science of Sport for about the price of a coffee, or a gel, and help us keep the lights on, and Gareth's candle burning! Plus, you'll get ad free listening, a weekly Applied show, and a community that argues better than the internet does!Show notesOn the show today, the physiology behind the best women's Grand Tour we can remember, and a doping ban that fits a pattern we have seen many times before.(00:01:00) The Tour de France Femmes was, we think, the best Grand Tour either of us has watched in years, and we explore the nine stages of unpredictable racing that had us intrigued, even if the record will show that Demi Vollering won four of them.(00:05:56) Kasia Niewiadoma's ride on Mont Ventoux, at somewhere between 5.3 and 5.6 W/kg for the climb, is arguably the greatest climbing performance in the history of women's cycling, and we place it against the published power duration curves to show just how far outside the 90th percentile it sits.(00:17:19) Niewiadoma also posted 9.9 W/kg for 86 seconds, and from that single Strava screenshot we work out her FTP and her W', the anaerobic "battery", which lets us answer the question everyone argued about, namely whether being blocked into that corner actually cost her time to rival Vollering. We think the answer is unequivocally yes, and the maths and the principle of pacing explains why.(00:25:50) Praise for Puck Pieterse, sympathy for Marlen Reusser and Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, and a wonder about the 'mature' podium, and the prospect of a handover to the next generation in good time, just not 'our time'(00:41:41) The World U20 Championships, where a 17 year old ran 7:28 solo for 3000m, Tate Taylor doubled up in 9.94 and 19.83, and the ever-turning carousel of youth talent that is sometimes derailed by injury and sometimes deposed by the next young phenom(00:45:46) Jakob Ingebrigtsen returns and wins the European 5000m title in 13:16, off a slow race that played into his hands, and he explains, correctly, that a 5000m is not a test of speed but of how much speed you have left. He also promises he'll be "astonishingly a lot better" next time.(00:52:32) Jonah Koech gets a three year ban after an adverse passport finding. We explain how the biological passport actually works, why two suspicious samples means the values must have been wildly out of the norm, and why his 3.2% improvement should have invited scepticism long before the blood results did. Performance is not proof, but pattern recognition lives on, with this its latest illustration.(01:07:46) The WNBA has no eligibility policy, so two former NBA players have declared for the women's draft to prove the point. We discuss why choosing not to decide is itself a decision, how people are choosing to pretend a problem doesn't exist (or that it doesn't matter if it does), and contrast this with the WTA who have implemented screening for eligibility, and just gotten on with it(01:15:29) And finally, the origins of the steeplechase, which begins with two blokes, an Irish pub, a wager, and two church steeples. Plus a nutritionist on social media who watched 96 seconds and decided we had lost all credibility. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Spain's Migration Meltdown, Ireland Riots, DSA's Secret Senate Candidate, and the Fauci Diary Bombshell | The RundownThis week on The Rundown, Jillian and Fletcher break down the headlines the mainstream media won't touch. Spain's migration crisis just got worse, with 500,000 North African migrants in Libya now positioned to cross into Greece next. Ireland is erupting, with citizens in Belfast setting up roadblocks after a Sudanese migrant tried to behead an Irishman in the street. Wisconsin's DSA-backed governor candidate Francesca Hong wants Thanksgiving canceled and Trump "86'd." Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed's ties to Hasan Piker, ISNA, and CAIR raise serious questions about who's funding his campaign. Plus, Aaron Rodgers gets vindicated after Anthony Fauci's diary reveals he hid his own vaccine injury from the public, and the WNBA won't answer for coaches pushing biological men into women's sports.In this episode:

Catherine, David and Matt react to the first few days of action across Canada as the men's top seeds fall by the wayside. Part one (00:00 - 44:35) Unfortunately we start with an update on the abundance of injury news on the ATP Tour, including Carlos Alcaraz delaying his comeback and withdrawing from Cincinnati, as well as reports in Italy that Jannik Sinner is dealing with a knee issue. What do we make of all that? The tournament in Montreal hasn't been immune to injury woe either and we discuss the sad withdrawal of Felix Auger-Aliassime and the crushing scene of Jack Draper in tears on court. Moving on to the actual tennis, there's chat about Alexander Zverev losing to Tallon Griekspoor, a win for Boric van de Zandschulp over Daniil Medvedev, another opportunity missed by Alex de Minaur, a second straight win for Rafael Jodar over the returning Lorenzo Musetti, and our picks for the title from here. Part two (44:46 - 1:01:45) While the men's event in Montreal has been defined by big names going out, there hasn't been many upsets in Toronto, except for Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova losing to Caty McNally. We discuss that result, Aryna Sabalenka doing enough to keep her No.1 ranking, and more incredible scenes at Alexandra Eala's matches. There's also reaction to Amanda Anisimova's dramatic win over Nikola Bartunkova and a look ahead to some of the blockbuster matches which have been set up. Part three (1:01:46 - 1:16:32) We discuss the first comments from players about the new WTA genetic sex testing policy and take a look at what the WTA appointing IMG as its production partner for broadcast could mean.

Canadian Open chaos!

Coco Gauff made headlines this week by supporting the WTA policy of mandatory gender testing of all female tennis players. This support from Coco Gauff was somewhat surprising…because Coco Gauff has a history of being woke. We reveal and react to Coco Gauff supporting the WTA…and mandatory gender testing. We commend Coco Gauff for speaking publicly…and supporting the WTA policy. We also discuss WNBA players doing the opposite…and explain why the WNBA is hastening their own demise.

Aaron closes Aaronalysis explaining why fraud recovery efforts mean little unless the clawed-back money is actually cut from federal budgets rather than reallocated.

Andy Roddick is back on Served to break down a loaded week of tennis news. Carlos Alcaraz sets social media on fire with full-speed hitting videos ahead of his US Open and Cincinnati title defense. The guys react to Taylor Fritz taking the Washington title over Rafa Jodar, Alexandra Eala's breakout run as the first Filipino to win a WTA singles title, and whether she's officially a top-ten threat? Plus: the ITIA's four-year suspension of 2023 Wimbledon Champion Markéta Vondrousova is confirmed — Andy digs into the ruling, the missed-test protocols every player should know, and why his early sympathy shifted. The crew also covers Cruz Hewitt following in Lleyton's footsteps, Emma Raducanu ruled out of the US Open with a stress fracture, Venus and Serena Williams landing a Cincinnati doubles wildcard, and Novak Djokovic's radical scoring idea. COMMENT BELOW:What do you think of Carlos Alcaraz's practice videos?

We also talk about the Trojan Horse that could be the new genetic testing system implemented by the WTA and offer up our solution. And we play Yes Gawd where we match top players to Greek gods. You don't want to Artemis it.

WTA Weekly is back as we break down a landmark week in Washington that could prove to be one of the defining moments of the 2026 WTA season. Alex Eala made history by capturing her maiden WTA title with a stunning comeback victory over Jessica Pegula, securing a place inside the world's Top 20 and further cementing her status as one of the brightest stars in women's tennis. We discuss just how significant this breakthrough is, whether Eala is ready to challenge for the biggest titles, and how far she can realistically go over the coming months. We also assess Jessica Pegula's disappointing defeat. Should Washington be viewed as a missed opportunity, or does the American remain one of the leading contenders heading into the US Open despite falling short in the final? Plus, we look ahead to the Canadian Open in Toronto, preview the biggest storylines, analyse the key draw implications, and highlight the players to watch as the North American hard-court swing continues.

This show was supposed to be focusing on events at the Washington 500 tournament, but with the finals delayed due to rain, Catherine, David and Matt take the time to catch up on other results and news from the last fortnight. Part one (00:00 - 38:35) We cover 16-year-old Kristina Liutova winning Memphis in her first WTA main draw appearance, Lilli Tagger's triumph in Prague, Arthur Gea's first career title, and a wild week for Bernard Tomic in Los Cabos. Part two (38:36 - 1:20:35) We discuss an assortment of tennis news, including Carlos Alcaraz's return to the practice court and new hairstyle, Amanda Anisimova reuniting with Rick Vleeshouwers, the damning full verdict in Marketa Vondrousova's case, the initial US Open mixed doubles entry list, the 2028 Olympic tennis schedule, and the Australian Open's decision to cap grounds passes. Part three (1:20:36 - 1:42:58) A look ahead to the Canadian Open which began with a strong statement from the tournament director towards the ATP Tour after Jannik Sinner's withdrawal. We'll be back with another show tomorrow to cover all things Washington. For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.

The Athletic's Senior Tennis Writer Matthew Futterman joins the show to discuss the release of his new book, which takes a look at the true price of pursuing your dreams at the highest level in tennis. Futterman explains the idea for the book came to be, and why tennis is a uniquely beautiful yet torturing game that has led many of the best players to retire well before their skills have distinguished. The journalist expands on several of the central characters and themes in the book, which include the American male tennis hopefuls, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner's quest for immortality, Novak Djokovic in the final stages of a legendary career, and the role of tennis parents in the pro game. "The Cruelest Game: Chasing Greatness in Professional Tennis," is available everywhere on August 4. In this episode Futterman takes you behind the scenes of writing this book, and sheds light on how the current ATP and WTA elite are truly wired. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

lexandra Eala makes tennis history at the 2026 Mubadala DC Open!

Our friend and tennis journalist Hanlon Walsh is back to talk tennis, travel and the US Open mixed doubles teams. We chat about: Why would Taylor Townsend play US Open mixed with Zverev? Will we see Vanus and Serena in the mixed and women's doubles draw? Which teams we think will do well at the US Open mixed event.How we would change (and improve!) the event this year. Hanlon's recent trip to Kosovo and why tennis tells a lot about local culture.More random tennis news.Read my latest substack about a bizarre week in tennis this week. And like and subscribe the podcast if you're enjoying our episodes. Also, be sure to check out the Out Wide podcast's episode about the WTA's controversial new genetic testing rule. It's well researched and must listen. For more from us, follow along on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The WTA recently announced that it will require all athletes who wish to compete to undergo a genetic cheek swab test to “prove” they are indeed a woman. This follows the IOC's policy announcement from earlier this year, which itself followed a Trump executive order ahead of the 2028 Olympics. It exists within the larger context of anti-trans legislation and the inescapable language of “protection.” We spend the first half of the episode trying to understand the policy and what has prompted it; the historic context; the broader movement to bar trans women from women's sport and, in some cases, to delegitimize trans identity altogether; and what the current science tells us. Later, we attempt to decipher the barely-followable PTPA infighting and who's fighting for what. We also touch on some tennis results, wedding season, a doping story and a match fixing story, and finally the recently announced US Open mixed doubles pairings. 02:00 The WTA's newest “Women's Eligibility Policy” 08:45 What happens when someone's gender becomes a matter of public speculation 24:30 What the current science tells us 31:00 Will the real PTPA please stand up? 39:10 A lesbian wedding! 46:05 Facundo Bagnis: before he speaks his vitamins bespoke 50:25 Speeding through recent results 56:25 US Open mixed doubles teams: subject to change (hopefully)  

It's wedding season, it's holiday season and it's moving house season, but tennis never stops so Catherine, David and Matt are here to react to the latest results and news since Wimbledon. Part one - We cover a big week for Stefanos Tsitsipas who won the title in Gstaad. Could this help to revitalise him? And will it be validation for ending his coaching relationship with his father? Elsewhere, there's chat about Andrey Rublev winning in Bastad and Daniel Merida continuing his rise with a title in Umag. Part two (32:27) - We discuss a fun week on the WTA Tour in Athens as Maria Sakkari followed in her mother's footsteps and reached the final, while Barbora Krejcikova won the title. Part three (48:06) - We react to some significant coaching changes on the ATP side and the report that the WTA has enacted a policy requiring that all players must undergo genetic sex testing in order to maintain their eligibility to compete on the WTA Tour.For ad-free listening and bonus content, Become a Friend.
