LEADERS Patrick Ciorcilă. Cum faci cel mai bun turneu WTA din lume. Istorii cu Ronaldinho, Halep și Hagi. Ce se ascunde în spatele unui caiet de sarcini de 700 de pagini și cât de greu este să aduci legende precum Ronaldinho pe un stadion din România? Cătălin Striblea stă de vorbă cu Patrick Ciorcilă, omul care, în ciuda tinereții, a devenit unul dintre cei mai importanți arhitecți de evenimente sportive din țară. Fost jucător de tenis, Patrick a înțeles rapid că pentru a umple arenele ai nevoie de „vectori de imagine" și nume uriașe, dar și de o armată de aproape 1.000 de oameni care să lucreze ceas. Vorbim despre banii din spatele turneelor WTA, despre cât costă o licență, despre presiunea de a gestiona cererile a 60 de sportivi de top și despre eșecul ca etapă obligatorie spre succes. Un episod despre pasiune, business sportiv și rigoarea necesară pentru a pune România pe harta mondială a tenisului. În acest episod vei descoperi: ▶ Cum a ajuns Ronaldinho la Cluj și impactul numelor mari în vânzarea de bilete. ▶ Diferențele de bugete și categorii în circuitele WTA. ▶ Povestea licenței pentru un turneu 250 WTA și ambiția de a trece la nivelul 500. ▶ De ce uzura în tenis este imensă și cum se gestionează cariera scurtă a unui sportiv. ▶ Regulile stricte (și uneori absurde) ale forurilor internaționale.

Alexander Bublik est un joueur à part. C'est assez simple, on adore ou on déteste. Depuis six mois maintenant, le Kazakhstanais fait preuve d'une régularité folle puisque, pour la première fois de sa carrière, il a intégré le top 10. Et il peut espérer voir encore plus haut, puisqu'à Doha, Dubaï et Indian Wells il n'a pas gagné le moindre match la saison dernière.Mais pour y arriver, Bublik va devoir se concentrer à 100%, ce qu'il n'a pas réussi à faire contre Hurkacz. Bublik a multiplié les critiques à l'égard du Polonais tout au long du match mais la différence par rapport à avant... c'est qu'aujourd'hui, il gagne ce genre de matches ! Alors Bublik est-il un génie ou tout simplement un joueur exaspérant ?

The WTA tour is heating up and this week's storylines are too good to ignore. Could Eala-mania be about to hit Doha? Is Emma Raducanu finally finding her rhythm again? And are we witnessing a possible swansong for Sorana Cîrstea in Cluj? In this episode of WTA Weekly, we dive into the biggest talking points across the women's game. From Alex Eala's rapid rise and what it could mean at the Qatar Open in Doha, to a deep look at Raducanu's resurgence, we break down form, confidence, and expectations. We also assess Katie Boulter's return, key results from the week, and what to watch next on tour. Packed with analysis, opinion, and forward-looking discussion, this episode is perfect for tennis fans who want context beyond the scorelines.

S'il y a bien un homme sur la planète tennis qui aime alimenter le débat, c'est Patrick Mouratoglou. Le célèbre entraîneur français a décidé de lancer une nouvelle polémique quelques semaines après avoir affirmé que "J-W Tsonga n'aurait pas battu les Draper, Rune, De Minaur, Fritz régulièrement" ou encore que "le top 10 actuel n'était pas forcément plus faible que l'ancienne génération".Cette fois-ci, "The Coach" a décidé de comparer le Big 3 à Carlos Alcaraz et Jannik Sinner en affirmant ceci : "ceux qui pensent que la victoire de Djokovic contre Sinner à l'Open d'Australie signifie que le Big 3 joue un meilleur tennis qu'Alcaraz et Sinner ont une vision bien trop simpliste. Un seul match ne me fera pas changer d'avis sur ce que j'observe depuis deux, trois ans". Sur les réseaux sociaux, Rafael Nadal s'en est amusé alors que Boris Becker lui a répondu qu'il "était seul avec son opinion".Si Patrick Mouratoglou a un avis… l'équipe de "Sans Filet" également et on vous le partage. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

The TennisWorthy Podcast comes to you from Melbourne Park, where history was made during the Australian Open. Immediately following the men's final, hosts Patrick McEnroe and Chris Bowers were joined by guest Jill Craybas, former WTA player and current commentator, to break down Carlos Alcaraz and Elena Rybakina's titles down under. At just 22, Alcaraz became the youngest male to complete a career Grand Slam, overcoming Novak Djokovic in a high-stakes final. The trio discusses Alcaraz's tactical adjustments, his playful "non-verbal interchange" with the ESPN commentary booth, and Novak Djokovic's remarkable resilience at this point in his record-setting career. They also analyze Elena Rybakina's second major title, her calm determination in defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, and the evolving rivalries at the top of the women's game.The TennisWorthy Podcast, presented by the International Tennis Hall of Fame, uncovers the sport's history and mindset of champions.

Novak Djokovic has done it again. In one of the greatest Australian Open matches of all time, the 38-year-old legend defeats Jannik Sinner in a brutal five-set thriller to book his place in the Australian Open 2026 final against Carlos Alcaraz. In this video, we break down how Djokovic defied age, fatigue, and the odds to outlast one of the game's most explosive young stars on Rod Laver Arena. This post-match analysis dives deep into the tactics, momentum swings, mental battles, and key turning points that defined this epic semifinal. From Djokovic's clutch serving and elastic defence to Sinner's fearless shot-making, we analyse what decided the match, what it means for the Djokovic vs Alcaraz final, and where this clash ranks among the best five-set matches in Grand Slam history.
