If you've ever hit a low point or felt like starting over is impossible, this conversation is for you.

That's why this episode focuses on the human side of the journey: how she's healing, how she's training, and how she's preparing to grind her way from the bottom of the rankings back into competing with the world's best.

What you'll hear in this episode: How she processed grief and burnout while stepping away from the WTA Tour Why 2026 represents more than a comeback — it's a fresh start The mindset shift that helped her rebuild confidence What training looks like when you're starting from the bottom Her plan to climb back into the top ranks The pressure, the hope, the grind… and the excitement for what's next If you're looking for motivation or simply want to understand what life on tour really looks like beyond the match results, this conversation brings clarity and encouragement.

It's time to wrap the 2025 WTA season!

Pritom športové výkony Dominiky, Mariána aj Mareka sú na porovnateľnej úrovni - vyhrať WTA, ktoré Dominika vyhrala, znamená vyhrať finále ženskej svetovej elity. Má teda naša jediná top slovenská tenistka tohto rangu menšie právo na luxus ako chalani – lebo je žena? Prečo teda luxus pri mužoch „nevadi“, ale pri žene áno?A úprimne... nevyžila jedna rodina (alebo aj viac) z Marekovho Ferrari dlhšie než štyri mesiace? (Mareka máme radi, len dávame veci do kontrastu). O tom, ako Dominika vníma rodovú rovnosť, mediálny tlak, lásku a jej podoby, a aj o tom, kedy je čas zo vzťahu odísť, sme sa rozprávali v najnovšej časti podcastu Ženy ako my z dielne Diva.sk.Vo svete vám úspech doprajú, na Slovensku naňho rýchlo zabúdajúDominika vyhrala osem turnajov kategórie WTA a dva turnaje kategórie ITF. Dosiahla na finále na Australian Open v roku 2014 a víťazstvo na WTA Finals v Singapure v roku 2016. Stala sa prvou Slovenkou, ktorá dosiahla majstrovské kolo Grandslamu. V novembri 2019 ohlásila koniec kariéry.Vydala sa, má dve deti, rada sa pekne oblieka, dopraje si a niečo z toho zdieľa aj na Instagrame. Bulvár to však často interpretuje ako vystatovanie sa.„Ja to nečítam, ale som človek z mäsa a kostí, niekedy sa ma to dotkne,“ priznáva Dominika a porovnáva to so svojimi kolegyňami zo zahraničia.„Keď ich kritizovali, tak za ich úspechy. Napríklad Talianka Flavia Pennetta je tvárou značky Giorgo Armani a všade chodí v ich kúskoch. Lieta si private jetom, ale nikto ju za to neohovára, že je to príliš. Tá mentalita je u nás iná.“Musela som vyrásť rýchlejšie ako moje rovesníčky ale rúhala by som sa, keby som tvrdila, že som nemala detstvo„Bola to jediná cesta, ktorou som musela ísť, nebolo žiadne doprava alebo doľava,“ neľutuje svoje detstvo Dominika.Makala na sebe odmalička a ako sama priznáva, za tie úspechy okrem disciplíny vďačí aj ľuďom okolo seba. Hoci peniaze jej dávajú slobodu, nikdy neboli motiváciou. Tie prvé zarobené dokonca ani nečakala.„Prekvapilo ma, že mi za to budú ešte aj platiť. Hoci som musela vyrásť rýchlejšie, bez tenisu by nebola Dominika Cibulková. Nemala som síce stužkovú, ale vynahrádzam si to teraz.“A má jasno, či deti pôjdu v jej šľapajach. Po tenisovej kariére prišlo materstvo: na prvom mieste bol Jakubko a nie Dominika. Materstvo ju prekvapilo svojou intenzitou a tým, ako veľmi a stále chcela byť s tým malým človiečikom. Netají sa ani tým, že pri druhom dieťati to už bolo jednoduchšie.Naspäť do formy sa dostávala takmer 2 roky. Vysvetľuje aj špekulácie o OzempicuDisciplína športovkyne, strava a režim pri chudnutí u zdravého človeka prinesú výsledky. Dominike to trvalo mesiace, svoju cestu zdieľala na Instagrame. Inšpirovala mnohé ženy, no nevyhla sa ani špekuláciám o Ozempicu. V podcaste nám vysvetlila, ako to bolo.S Michalom sme neskutočne zohratí. S manželom Michalom Navarom fungujú ako skvelý tandem. Bol jej manažérom počas športovej kariéry, dnes sú rodičia, partneri a majú biznis. Vo vzduchu však visí téma manželskej krízy, ktorá plní bulvárne plátky. Pred domom aj škôlkou, kam chodí Jakubko, stepujú paparazzi. V podcaste sa okrem iného...

The Ball Boys put the rear in year-end with the ATP and WTA Finals.  Paul is joined by media darling, Brooklyn tennis icon, and co-creator of Talk Hole, Eric Swartau, to break down the final stops on the tour.  We discuss the ASMR of tennis, debate tennis etiquette and that tainted WTA finals ceremony. Plus we cover who came out on top in 2025 between Carlos and Jannik and we have some predictions of who might be retiring and who's taking home some big trophies in 2026.  And we end with a new case in Cross Court, where the new ATP logo is put on trial in the case we're calling “whatever happened to fun.”

Journalist and Host Nick McCarvel joins the podcast for thorough discussion about the 2025 tennis season, and his many roles covering the game. McCarvel explains the differences at each of the four tennis majors, and looks back at the emotional tribute to Rafael Nadal at this year's Roland Garros. The journalist also shares his thoughts on the Sinner/Alcaraz rivalry and their place as the new leaders of the game, why it's a special bonus to have legends like Andre Agassi involved in the sport yet again. McCarvel also looks at the outstanding season on the WTA, which saw Amanda Anisimova's rise to the top and more terrific tennis from Aryna Sabalenka, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff. He examines where tennis coverage can improve, discusses his work with the International Tennis Hall of Fame, and why the Olympics hold a special place in McCarvel's heart. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

It's a packed Monday on Nothing Major. The guys kick things off with the upcoming Battle of the Sexes in Dubai — plenty of curiosity (and a little doubt) about how seriously Kyrgios will take it. Djokovic's 101st career title takes center stage next, with the crew debating his decision to skip the year-end finals and what it means for the tour. There's also a shoutout to Learner Tien's title run in Metz and Venus Williams grabbing a wildcard into Auckland at 45 — still swinging. Then it's time for an ATP Finals breakdown, as we all agree one group is stronger than the other. On the WTA side, Elena Rybakina caps her season with record prize money and a clear message for 2026. To wrap things up, two teases you don't want to miss: Maldives Watch and the mission to help Danielle Collins find a husband. ----------------- 00:00 Intro 00:36 Battle of the Sexes: Sabalenka vs. Kyrgios 03:15 Novak Djokovic's Home Victory 09:35 Learner Tien's Breakthrough Year 14:19 Venus Williams' Wild Card Entry 14:52 Speculations on Player Participation 15:33 Breaking News: Sebastian Korda's Engagement 15:38 ATP Finals Overview 16:07 Shelton vs. Zverev Match Analysis 18:27 Alcaraz's Performance at ATP Finals 21:57 WTA Finals Recap 25:42 Upcoming Topics and Teasers 27:45 Goodbye!

Sarah Koudouzian joins the podcast to discuss her life in tennis, from competitive junior tennis player to co-founder of the fashion brand Richsport, which is quickly becoming one of the most popular fashion brands in the game. Koudouzian shares her stories from playing and the unfortunate injury that ended her dream, and dives into how she moved into the fashion world and became an entrepreneur. The co-founder dives into why her company embraces the elite reputation of tennis but seeks to enrich people who play at levels, and do it in ways that go well above and beyond money and financial resources. Koudouzian dives into how Richsport first gained traction, and why a direct message from WTA star Dainelle Collins led to an iconic collaboration that put the company on the map. And Koudouzian goes into detail about all the happenings of Richsport in the present day, from partnering with college tennis to becoming an active and reliable present onsite at professional tournaments.

The last time Maya Joint sat down with us, in April, she was the world No.78 preparing to make her Billie Jean King Cup debut for Australia. Seven months on, she's a two-time WTA title winner, ranked 32nd and was the first player selected to lead the Culture Amp Australian Billie Jean King Cup team into action for this week's Play-offs in Hobart. Joint's return to The Sit-Down gave us a chance to chat to the teenager about just how far she's come, and the fact she's put herself in contention for a Grand Slam seeding in 2026. Now living in Melbourne, Joint joined Jackson Mansell in Pod Laver Arena to discuss her most recent career highlights, how she's adjusting to the brighter glare of the spotlight, her thoughts on representing Australia, plus what she's doing off court to celebrate her successes and maintain work-life balance.Listen to the full episode with Maya Joint here.

Then they pivot to the ATP Finals, unpacking Novak Djokovic's late withdrawal, Lorenzo Musetti's mad dash to Turin, and why the Alcaraz–Sinner rivalry now defines men's tennis.

A weekly podcast covering women’s sports news. This week, the Jillaroos are Pacific Cup Champions, Jamieson Leeson has won Gold at the World Boccia Challenger in Canberra, and Elena Rybakina has won the season-ending WTA finals. For the key story, we discuss a new study revealing the impact of racism on women and girls in community sport in the Australian state of Victoria. *** To celebrate the launch of MORE THAN A GAME GAME, the ultimate women’s sports trivia game making women athletes household names, we’re hitting the road for a pub trivia tour STARTING THIS WEEK thanks to Red Bull!

In another episode that was already released as a video overnight for our Patreon backers, Ben and Tumaini wrap up what was a very busy Saturday in the world of tennis, including three simultaneous finals. We start with the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where Elena Rybakina won a very high-quality, high-level tournament that still looked small. How is the WTA going in Saudi Arabia after two years? Should they extend their stay there? Read Tumaini's column on the state of the WTA for more. We then discuss the down-to-the-wire (down-to-the-netcord?) drama around the race to Turin, where Novak Djokovic made Lorenzo Musetti and Felix Auger-Aliassime sweat it out until the last possible moment before withdrawing from Turin. Was that fair or foul? We also discuss the newly announced "Battle of the Sexes" between Aryna Sabalenka and Nick Kyrgios, which we both think is a bad idea (but for a different perspective, read Ben's interview with the organizer, Stuart Duguid).  And then for a fun finish, Tumaini waxes lyrical about his love for 1 Point Slam, which is returning in Melbourne next year in a much bigger form. Thank you for listening! 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! And we especially thank our GOAT backers: Pam Shriver and J. O'D. And please check out Ben's new writing home, Bounces! And Tumaini's work at The Guardian!

Chanda Rubin – From Carencro to World Tennis Stardom This special episode of Discover Lafayette features an archival interview with Lafayette's own Chanda Rubin, one of the greatest athletes to emerge from our community. Originally recorded in 2014 for Upper Lafayette on the Move, this conversation revisits Chanda's remarkable journey—from a young girl learning to hit tennis balls against a chain-link fence in her family's backyard to becoming a top-ten player in the world. Growing up in Carencro, Chanda was inspired by her parents, Judge Ed Rubin and Bernadette Rubin, who built a tennis court behind their home. What began as family recreation soon revealed Chanda's natural talent and determination. By age seven, she was competing in tournaments; by her early teens, she was winning national titles. Her first tournament at Thomas Park may have ended in defeat, but it lit the fire that propelled her forward. Balancing her education at Episcopal School of Acadiana (ESA) with a burgeoning professional tennis career, Chanda turned pro at just fifteen. Despite traveling the world, she remained committed to academics—so much so that she skipped the French Open to graduate from high school with her class. Later, after retiring from professional tennis, Chanda earned her degree from Harvard University, embodying her lifelong belief in perseverance and education. Rubin is a member of the Louisiana Tennis Hall of Fame and USTA's Southern Tennis Hall of Fame, and is a respected spokesperson for her sport locally and globally. Ranked as high as No. 6 in the world in singles in 1996, Chanda competed on the biggest stages, Wimbledon, the U.S. Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open, facing tennis legends such as Serena Williams, Steffi Graf, Monica Seles, and Martina Hingis. She is one of the few Louisiana natives to have made it on the pro tennis circuit. Her career was defined not just by victories, but by the resilience and focus that continue to shape her success today. Chanda Rubin is a member of the Louisiana Tennis Hall of Fame and USTA's Southern Tennis Hall of Fame. She captured a Grand Slam win in doubles at the Australian Open, as well as a Wimbledon Juniors singles crown at the age of 16. Chanda compiled a career singles record of 399-254 and was ranked as high as No. 6 in the world in April 1996. She ended her pro career in 2006, finishing with seven WTA singles titles and 10 doubles crowns. Chanda also served three terms on the USTA Board of Directors as an elite athlete representative and is a familiar face in tennis broadcasting, providing commentary at Grand Slam events. Chanda remains passionate about education, mentorship, and giving back to the community through motivational speaking and youth outreach. Her story reflects discipline, balance, and a deep appreciation for the lessons that sports and education impart.

FAA continued his good play since US Open in a bid to make the ATP Finals. Victoria Mboko won in Hong Kong picking up her second career title and making her top 20 debut in the WTA rankings. She started the year at #333. All this plus more on the latest Advantage Connors podcast.

Die wêreld-nommer-een, Aryna Sabalenka van Belarus, is ná haar tweede oorwinning in die WTA-jaareindronde in Riaad gereed om haar plek in die halfeindronde te spreek. Sy het die Amerikaner, Jessica Pegula, verslaan maar moet in skoon stelle wen om vordering van die Stefanie Graf-groep te bevestig. Die verdedigende kampioen, Coco Gauff van Amerika, hoop om die uitklopronde te haal na haar sege oor die Italianer, Jasmine Paolini, wat uitgeskakel is. Sabalenka sê sy is vol vertroue dat sy die halfeindronde sal haal:

Welcome back to Tennis Unfiltered, the weekly podcast about tennis that does not hold back. Host James Gray risked his marriage this week by taking two hours out of his holiday to do the podcast, logging on from Athens to discuss the last seven days of tennis with Calvin Betton, Paris Masters-winning coach, and tennis writer and broadcaster George Bellshaw. Here are the stories they discussed: Jannik Sinner won his fifth Masters title and returned to world No 1, for a week at least with Carlos Alcaraz set to overtake him again next week. It also took Sinner to exactly 10,000 points for the 2025 season despite having served at three-month ban in the middle of it. Sinner beat Felix Auger-Aliassime (the indoor GOAT) in the final, having battered Alexander Zverev in the semi-final for the loss of just one game. Carlos Alcaraz meanwhile was knocked out by Cam Norrie, who maintains an impressive record against the Spaniard. But Norrie was beaten by Valentin Vacherot, who followed up his Shanghai title with proof that he is no flash in the pan, and moves into the top 30 in the world for the first time. In the best social media beef of the week, Zizou Bergs managed to catch both Reilly Opelka and Nick Kyrgios in a web of their own egos. The WTA Finals kicked off over the weekend in Riyadh, albeit not in particularly grand style. Coco Gauff was beaten by Jessica Pegula and served 17 double-faults, which meant missing more than a quarter of her second serves, and was broken nine times in all. It begs the question, do year-end finals ever really produce the best tennis? Plus Gauff claimed the WTA is “more interesting” because it has more grand slam champions, while Alcaraz and Sinner clean up on the men's side Three breakout stars won titles on the WTA Tour in the meantime: Janice Tjen of Indonesia; Canada's Victoria Mboko; and a 17-year-old from Austria named Lilli Tagger with a one-handed backhand and a grand slam winner in her box Rohan Bopanna has announced his retirement after 20 years on tour at the age of 45. He won 26 tour-level doubles titles, including the 2024 Australian Open doubles. That also took him to world No 1 at the age of 43, the oldest man ever to do so. He won 539 tour-level matches, won titles with 15 different partners and also picked up a mixed doubles grand slam title at Roland Garros in 2017. Learn more about your ad choices.

Catherine, David and Matt react to Jannik Sinner's title in Paris and the first couple of days of action at the WTA Finals. Part one - ATP. Sinner is the Paris champion and the World No.1 again, but he will finish the season on top or will it be Carlos Alcaraz? We chat about that race, Sinner's astonishing performances all week in Paris, and how the final spot in Turin all comes down to the last week of the season as Felix Auger-Aliassime and Lorenzo Musetti's fates could be decided by Novak Djokovic. Part two - WTA (30:17). We all predicted Amanda Anisimova to win the title at the WTA Finals, but she lost her opening match 6-3 6-1 to Elena Rybakina. So what happened? And can she bounce back? We chat about the disappointing matches so far, Jasmine Paolini being under the weather, and the return of Coco Gauff's double fault issues against Jessica Pegula. Plus, Victoria Mboko has ended the year on a high with another title. Part three - News (50:31). We pay tribute to the retiring Rohan Bopanna and we say goodbye to our beloved Rosie.
