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)

Former WTA Top 25 player Christina McHale joins the podcast for a wide-ranging chat about the pro game, and how she was able to end her career on her own terms. McHale explains why she decided to make one final tennis push, and what she learned from her return to the court. The 2012 Olympian also dives into the depth on the WTA, and explains why Iva Jovic impressed her firsthand when they practiced together. McHale dives into topics such as Carlos Alcaraz's return from the same injury she had, and explains what that rehab process is really like. She also recaps the titles won by Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev and Barbora Krejcikova this past weekend, and explains why Maria Sakkari's run to the finals in Athens was very special. And McHale reacts to all the recent tennis weddings before setting her sights on the race to the US Open. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

C'est le choc des mondes : le vainqueur du Grand Chelem parisien face au gamin de Londres !Dans cette émission on analyse les deux performances monumentales qui ont validé cette affiche irréelle en demi-finale de Wimbledon.D'un côté, Alexander Zverev qui, face à sa bête noire Taylor Fritz, a été d'un sérieux clinique : 3 petits sets (6-4, 6-4, 6-2) pour chasser ses démons, s'éviter un piège mental et s'offrir sa toute première demi-finale au All England Club. Zverev libéré ? Pourquoi sa victoire contre Fritz prouve qu'il a enfin trouvé la clé sur gazon ?De l'autre côté du filet, Arthur Fery, invité du tournoi, qui a une nouvelle fois surclassé Flavio Cobolli devant un Centre Court en transe. Il devient le deuxième wildcard de l'histoire à atteindre ce stade après un certain Goran Ivanisevic en 2001...

pWotD Episode 3351: Naomi Osaka Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 340,925 views on Sunday, 5 July 2026 our article of the day is Naomi Osaka.Naomi Osaka (Japanese pronunciation: [oːsaka naomi]; born October 16, 1997) is a Japanese professional tennis player. She was ranked as the world No. 1 in women's singles by the WTA for 25 weeks starting in January 2019, the first Asian player to hold the top ranking in singles. Osaka has won seven career singles titles, including four majors: two each at the Australian Open and the US Open. She is the first Japanese player to win a major singles title.Born in Japan to a Haitian-American father and a Japanese mother, Osaka has lived and trained in the United States since age three. She came to prominence at age 16 when she defeated former US Open champion Samantha Stosur in her WTA Tour debut at the 2014 Stanford Classic. Two years later, she reached her first WTA final at the 2016 Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo and entered the top 50 of the WTA rankings. Osaka broke into the upper echelon of women's tennis in 2018, winning her first Tour title at the Indian Wells Open, then defeating Serena Williams in the final of the US Open. After winning the Australian Open in early 2019, she reached the world No. 1 ranking for the first time. Following two more major titles, in 2021, Osaka suffered from depression and other issues, which led to a publicly scrutinized retirement from the French Open and withdrawal from Wimbledon. She took maternity leave in 2023, returning to competition in 2024.Osaka is one of the world's most marketable athletes. In 2020, she ranked eighth among athletes in endorsement income and had the highest-ever annual income of any female athlete. Osaka is also recognized as an activist, having showed support for the Black Lives Matter protests. She was named one of the 2020 Sports Illustrated Sportspersons of the Year for her activism, particularly during her US Open championship run, and was included on Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2019, 2020, and 2021. Osaka was the 2021 Laureus World Sportswoman of the Year. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she became the first tennis player to light the Olympic cauldron during the opening ceremony.On the court, Osaka has an aggressive playing style with a powerful serve that can reach 201 kilometers per hour (125 mph).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:01 UTC on Monday, 6 July 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Naomi Osaka on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kimberly.

Grass season is about halfway done, and I don't know what's going on with the WTA (wishing them luck). Big results for Noskova – who just debuted in the top 10 – plus Robin Montgomery, Ben Shelton, Donna Vekic, and the Frans! The news that Serena Williams received the remaining Wimbledon singles wild card trumped everything this week, while her husband hung out at Trump's UFC abomination. Recent Wimbledon champ Marketa Vondrousova was given a 4-year suspension for refusing a doping test in December, a decision that will almost certainly be appealed. Lastly, we give some final thoughts on the Knicks and go down the Stevie rabbit hole again. 1:00 Yep, that singles wild card was for #thismama  14:10 Berlin bagel + it was a good week to be a Fran 24:30 Previous week's results: s-'Hertogenbosch, Stuttgart, Queen's 27:30 Diving into Marketa Vondrousova's 4-year suspension  36:30 Alexis, your presence wasn't actually required 40:50 Corentin Moutet gives up his prize money for what, exactly? 43:00 Catching up with the Knicks and Victor Wembanyama  48:20 Remembering Peabo and igniting the Stevie discussion again

Jimmy and Brett discuss Francis Tiafoe winning the all American final in Halle, for the biggest title of his career. Marketa Vondrousova refused her most recent doping test which has landed her a 4 years suspension from the WTA tour. The inconsistencies in doping punishment continue in the tennis world. Wyndham Clark led wire to wire at Shinnecock Hills to capture his second US Open trophy in 4 years. He held off hecklers in the New York crowd and Sam Burns down the stretch. Wimbledon is just around the corner and the odds to win are more spread out on the ladies side compared to the gentlemen. Who do you have winning it this year?

Serena Williams will be back at Wimbledon playing singles for the first time since 2022!At 44 years old, she played some really good tennis with Mboko before the Canadian injured her knee at Queens. This decision to come back and even play singles at the most well-known tennis tournament in the world is intriguing: what does she want to get from this?While it's practically impossible to see Serena winning Wimbledon, especially after her last win coming seven years ago, plus her age, I still can't complain. She will be back, she will be roaring, involved and full of energy in a way only Serena Williams can be.I hope for at least one win. It will be EPIC.I also talk a bit about how so many promising young women are making good progress on the grass this year, notably Berlin champion Linda Noskova, Berlin semi-finalist (l. Noskova) Alex Eala, and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu.

Serena Williams will be back at Wimbledon playing singles for the first time since 2022!At 44 years old, she played some really good tennis with Mboko before the Canadian injured her knee at Queens. This decision to come back and even play singles at the most well-known tennis tournament in the world is intriguing: what does she want to get from this?While it's practically impossible to see Serena winning Wimbledon, especially after her last win coming seven years ago, plus her age, I still can't complain. She will be back, she will be roaring, involved and full of energy in a way only Serena Williams can be.I hope for at least one win. It will be EPIC.I also talk a bit about how so many promising young women are making good progress on the grass this year, notably Berlin champion Linda Noskova, Berlin semi-finalist (l. Noskova) Alex Eala, and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu. All players with very different styles, different career trajectories, but with great potential to make the next 10-15 years at the WTA be really awesome and competitive.Favourite this podcast if you like our work :)SUBSCRIBE to the YouTube channel!Follow TENNIS AND BAGELS!Twitter/X: https://x.com/TennisAndBAGELSAndre:Twitter/X - https://x.com/RolembergAndreBlueSky Social: https://bsky.app/profile/andrerolemberg.bsky.socialVansh: https://x.com/vanshv2kOwen (BlueSky Social): https://bsky.app/profile/owensports.bsky.socialSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/tennis-and-bagels.

Catherine and David are rejoined by Matt, who's back from Chicago, to catch up on the week's results so far and speculate about whether Serena Williams will play more than just doubles at Wimbledon. Part one (00:00 - 25:45) - We start with Wimbledon's wildcard decisions. Is a spot being saved for Serena to play singles? Do we think she will take it? Is that something we would like to see? And why does it feel wrong that Dan Evans has been snubbed? Part two - WTA (25:46 - 53:00). We discuss Alexandra Eala's brilliant win over Elena Rybakina, emotional scenes for Paula Badosa after she beat Coco Gauff in Berlin, and why this grass court season feels big for Aryna Sabalenka. Plus, are Madison Keys and Karolina Pliskova dormant volcanoes who are beginning to rumble? Part three - ATP (53:01 - 1:22:03). On the men's side, are Tommy Paul and Alex de Minaur on a collision course at Queen's? Was Corentin Moutet being funny or rude with his f-bomb heavy interview? And who's going to come through a competitive field in Halle?

On today's episode of Cracked Interviews, host Alex Gruskin welcomes Topnotch Management Director of Events Alex Guthrie for a preview of three of the biggest professional tennis events on this summer's calendar. The two dive into the continued growth of professional tennis in the United States, discussing the return of world-class competition to several key markets through the Lincoln Challenger, Memphis Classic, and Ennoble Care Philly Open. Guthrie offers behind-the-scenes insight into what it takes to launch and operate professional tournaments, explains what fans can expect at each event, and shares how these tournaments fit into the broader ATP Challenger and WTA ecosystems. The conversation also explores the unique identities of each stop—from the ATP Challenger action in Lincoln, to the return of WTA Tour tennis in Memphis, to the arrival of the WTA 125 Ennoble Care Philly Open in Philadelphia.

Monica Puig joins the podcast to discuss the changing of seasons in the tennis world, with the pros heading to the grass as the race to Wimbledon intensifies. Puig recaps her time covering Roland Garros, and shares her thoughts on the crucial next step for champions Alexander Zverev and Mirra Andreeva. The Olympic Gold Medalist ponders how Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka can regroup after faltering in Paris, and explains what to expect from Serena Williams in her inspiring comeback to the game. Puig also recaps last week's big storylines on the grass, with Ben Shelton defeating Taylor Fritz for the trophy in Stuttgart and emerging as a threat at Wimbledon. The former WTA pro reacts to Donna Vekic's triumph at Queen's Club, Emma Raducanu's encouraging run to a final, and American Robin Montgomery winning her first WTA tournament. And Puig dives into the nuances of getting your body ready for grass court tennis, and whether handshakes are a requirement in the world of tennis. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

C'est l'une des interrogations de cette saison 2026, que vaut Joao Fonseca sur gazon ? Le Brésilien n'a aucune référence puisqu'il ne dispute que sa deuxième saison sur cette surface qui est loin d'être sa spécialité. 24ème joueur mondial, l'Auriverde ne peut plus se contenter de performer sur dur ou sur terre battue comme à Paris où il a atteint les quarts de finale en sortant notamment Novak Djokovic. Fonseca doit devenir un joueur tout-terrain et performer sur herbe où Wimbledon l'attend d'ici deux semaines. FFonseca a manqué son premier rendez-vous à Halle en étant sèchement battu par Jannick Hanfmann 6/2 6/2. Il ne restera donc qu'un tournoi à Eastbourne pour Fonseca avant Wimbledon ou il n'a jamais dépassé le 3ème tour. Le jeu de Joao Fonseca peut-il être compatible avec la spécificité du gazon ?Nous évoquerons aussi les tournois de Halle du Queen's et de Berlin sans oublier les pronostics. Ce podcast est hébergé par Podcastics, la plateforme pour créer et diffuser votre podcast facilement.

Send us Fan MailEpisode 35: Roland Garros 2026 Recap & The Grass Court Swing BeginsWe're back with a Roland Garros week two recap that had us screaming, crying, and everything in between. Mirra Andreeva claimed her first Grand Slam title at 19, dropping only 17 games in the second week and accepting the trophy in a custom Nike jacket that read "I'd like to thank myself" — because she absolutely should. Meanwhile, qualifier Maja Chwalińska became only the second player in Open Era history to reach a Grand Slam final as a qualifier, jumping from ranked 114 to number 21 overnight, getting a hero's welcome at the Warsaw airport, and somehow almost running out of money for her hotel mid-tournament. Her story — which includes a very public battle with depression in 2021 and a decision to come back to tennis on her own terms — is one of the most moving in recent memory. We also send our love to Hailey Baptiste, who suffered a torn ACL and meniscus in her second round match and has been sharing her recovery journey with breathtaking honesty. On the brighter side, Karolína Siniaková and Taylor Townsend are one US Open title away from a career Grand Slam together, and their post-win press conference might be the most wholesome four minutes of the year.We then head to the grass court swing, where the palate cleanser we all desperately needed arrived in the form of Serena Williams making her competitive return after 1,375 days away. She and Vicky Mboko upset the third seeds at Queen's Club and reminded us all why tennis is worth watching. We break down Donna Vekic going from lucky loser to champion, the deeply pointed wildcard snub of defending Queen's Club champion Tatjana Maria, Alex Eala's win in Birmingham, and Robin Montgomery winning a WTA title in the Netherlands ranked 484th in the world. Resh also delivers an important journalism moment: a full breakdown of why Wimbledon grass and football grass are about as similar as clay and hard court, and why that actually matters for how the ball behaves.In our Five Minutes with the 5%, we talk about Flavio Cobolli — the charming, superstitious, emotionally open 24-year-old from Florence who nearly upset Zverev* in a five-set Roland Garros final and who we are officially rooting for. We also address the men's champion, Alexander Zverev*, with a content warning for domestic violence — including why L'Équipe made the deliberate editorial choice not to put him on their front page after his win. We close out with the ongoing prize money fight (Wimbledon just announced a 20% increase, but players say it's not enough), the rumored Serena/Venus mixed doubles pairing with Sinner and Alcaraz at the US Open, and Resh and Stef's ongoing appreciation for women coaching women across tennis, the WNBA, and the NWSL.Next episode: our Wimbledon preview and thoughts on the Rafa Nadal documentary.

WTA Weekly – Queen's Club Review & Berlin/Nottingham Preview Welcome to WTA Weekly. This week, the grass-court season delivered one of its best stories as Donna Vekic completed a remarkable run to win the Queen's Club title in London. Entering the tournament as a lucky loser after falling in qualifying, Vekic took full advantage of her second chance and capped the week with a 6-0, 7-6(6) victory over home favourite Emma Raducanu in the final. Vekic dominated the opening set before Raducanu fought back impressively in the second. The Brit recovered from a difficult start, built a lead, and even held set points, but Vekic's experience on grass proved decisive in a tense tiebreak. The Croatian eventually converted her fifth championship point to secure her first title in several years. Despite the loss, Raducanu leaves Queen's with plenty of positives. After an injury- and illness-disrupted season, she reached the final without dropping a set before Sunday and recorded victories over multiple top players. Her form suggests she could be a dangerous contender during the remainder of the grass swing and at Wimbledon. As for Vekic, the title continues a remarkable turnaround. She only entered the main draw after a late withdrawal created a lucky-loser spot, yet she navigated the field brilliantly and now heads into Wimbledon full of confidence. Looking ahead, attention shifts to the WTA 500 event in Berlin, one of the strongest grass-court tournaments outside Wimbledon. The field is expected to feature many of the tour's top players, making it a crucial test before the Championships. Meanwhile, the WTA event in Nottingham offers another opportunity for players to gain valuable grass-court matches and ranking points. With Wimbledon just around the corner, every match becomes increasingly important as players fine-tune their games for the year's biggest grass-court event. That's all for this week's WTA Weekly. The road to Wimbledon is heating up, and after Vekic's incredible lucky-loser triumph at Queen's, the grass season has already shown that anything can happen. Learn more about your ad choices.

How do you double the size of a major sporting venue, rebuild its technology foundation, and still deliver a seamless experience for hundreds of thousands of fans? Recording from Cisco Live, I spoke with Robert Nichols, Principal Technical Architect for the Cincinnati Open, about the enormous undertaking behind one of the most respected tournaments in professional tennis. As an ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 event, the Cincinnati Open recently completed a $260 million expansion that increased the campus from 20 to 40 acres, all while working against a deadline that could not be moved. Our conversation explores what happens behind the scenes when nearly 300,000 visitors arrive expecting every aspect of the event to work flawlessly. From ticket scanning and connectivity to food service, hospitality, broadcasting, security, and crowd management, every part of the operation depends on infrastructure that most fans never think about. Robert explains how the team approached modernization without losing the qualities that have made the tournament special for generations. Accessibility, proximity to the players, and a welcoming atmosphere remain central to the Cincinnati Open experience, even as the venue continues to grow. We also discuss occupancy analytics, connected cameras, wireless networking across 40 acres, and how data helps organizers make better operational decisions throughout the tournament. Along the way, Robert shares insights into the scale of planning required to support one of the largest events in professional tennis. Looking ahead, we examine how AI and automation could influence the future of live events, helping organizers improve operations while keeping the focus firmly on the fan experience. Whether you're interested in sports, technology, operations, or large-scale event management, this episode offers a rare look at what it takes to deliver an event watched by millions worldwide. What part of a live sporting event do you think requires the most coordination behind the scenes?

They also discuss what the title means for his legacy and Hall of Fame case. They debate whether Zverev can add more majors with Sinner and Alcaraz looming, then shift to the women's final where Andreeva wins easily in straight sets ending the Cinderella run from Chwalinska and sparking debate about Andreeva's place among the WTA elite.

Brett and Jimmy check in from vacation to give their opinions on all the craziness going on in Paris at Roland Garros. If Sascha Zverev can't win his first major now then it might never happen. He is the dominant favorite to come out with the trophy but will old demons creep in at the worst time? Aryna Sabalenka once again failed to finish in a grand slam match where she was in total control. This has become a unfortunate trend for the world #1 the past two years. It's a crazy dichotomy where on one hand she is by far the most dominant player on the WTA tour, but also has a hard time taking advantage of her chances to add to her grand slam total. Flavio Cobolli faces off against fellow Italian Matteo Arnaldi in the top half semi making for a great opportunity for both players to make it further that they have ever been before. Can Mirra Andreeva conquer her Roland Garros demons from last year by coming out on top of the women's side?

Zach Heinzerling, the Emmy-winning, Oscar-nominated director behind Netflix's new four-part documentary series Rafa. The series follows Rafael Nadal across the final year of his career, from his 2024 return through his retirement, while reaching back across two decades to tell the fuller story of one of the most decorated and most physically punished athletes in the history of tennis. The series goes beyond the 22 Grand Slams and 14 French Open titles to reveal what it cost to win them: a rare, incurable foot condition called Müller-Weiss syndrome, diagnosed when Rafa was just nineteen; years of aggressive medical intervention that left him with perforated intestines; and a 2022 Roland Garros run played on a foot deadened by nerve-blocking injections. For the first time on camera, Rafa removes his sock and shows the foot itself — an image he had guarded from the public for twenty years. The series also explores the formative role of his uncle and longtime coach Toni Nadal, whose tough-love methods shaped Rafa from the age of three; the anxiety and ritual beneath the on-court persona; and the rivalries with Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic that defined a generation, including the now-famous Laver Cup farewell where Rafa and Federer sat side by side and wept. Featuring testimony from Federer, Djokovic, John McEnroe, and the family, coaches, and inner circle who have stood beside Nadal his entire career, Rafa is less a highlight reel than a portrait of a champion in negotiation with his own body — and an answer, or an attempt at one, to the question of why he kept playing long after that body told him to stop.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup is fast approaching, and Thomas Tuchel has finalized his England squad for the tournament. Frank and Eddie analyze some of his selections. Eddie explains that he understands that the inclusion of Henderson, Madueke, and Gordon shows that Tuchel wants a squad that fits his system, but will it work?  The Premier League season wrapped up with Arsenal as champions, Manchester City slipping up again, and Spurs narrowly avoiding relegation at the expense of West Ham. Roland Garros is underway in Paris, with some of the world's top players on both the ATP and WTA tours protesting prize money, but Eddie thinks they're being tone-deaf with some of their complaints.  Plus, Hull beat Middlesbrough in the Championship playoff final following the controversy of 'spygate'. The Enhanced Games failed to deliver many world records, and would you go out of your way to attend a championship parade? 

Catherine, David and Matt convened for a live show to discuss Elina Svitolina crowning one of the all-time great title runs, Jannik Sinner completing his set of all the Masters titles, and what it all means for Paris.

And what's the status of The Mix heading into Roland Garros? Part two - ATP (33:49 - 1:13:22) We cover Sinner's tough semi-final win over Daniil Medvedev and his more straightforward victory in the final against Casper Ruud. Could he win all the Masters 1000 events this year? How much mental and physical fatigue is he battling? And who - or what - can stop Sinner is Paris?Part three - The week ahead (1:13:23 - 1:26:33).

Catherine, David and Matt review an eventful few days of action in Rome and look ahead to finals weekend. Part one - WTA (00:00 - 44:40). We discuss how Elina Svitolina and Coco Gauff have both reached the final, including Svitolina's remarkable wins on back-to-back nights over Elena Rybakina and Iga Swiatek, as well as Gauff's battling victory over Mirra Andreeva and gradual improvement in form. Who has the edge in the final? Plus, we analyse Swiatek's tournament and wonder what it means for Roland Garros, and we hear Pam Shriver's observations from her time coaching in Rome. Part two - ATP (44:41 - 1:15:10). We start with Jannik Sinner's record-breaking run as he sweeps through the field while managing some fatigue. But there's plenty of chaos around Sinner to discuss, including a thrilling win for Daniil Medvedev against Martin Landaluce, a late-night, smoke-interrupted epic between Luciano Darderi and Rafael Jodar, and some very graceless quotes from Alexander Zverev. There's collective joy that Arthur Fils will be fit for Roland Garros and sadness that Lorenzo Musetti has withdrawn. Part three - News (1:15:11 - 1:37:03). We react to the news that Andy Murray will coach Jack Draper for the grass court season and give our thoughts on Carlos Alcaraz's Vanity Fair cover.

Catherine, David and the Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare look back on a dramatic opening week at Rome's Foro Italico.Part one - WTA (00:00 - 16:41). Charlie brings us up to speed on the latest stand off between the top players and the Grand Slams over prize money, and Aryna Sabalenka's bold claim that the players are prepared to boycott in order to achieve the revenue share they think they deserve. Is it all hot air? Do the players have a point or are they being greedy?Part two - WTA (16:41 - 50:09). After Charlie explains the bizarre circumstances around Emma Raducanu's pre tournament withdrawal, we get into the nitty gritty of the women's results so far, including a shock early defeat and injury scare for the World Number One Sabalenka. Part three - ATP (50:09). Injury and illness drama also dominated the early stages of the men's event, with Djokovic compromised by stomach issues and Dino Prizmic capitalising in spectacular fashion. Is Dino finally happening? And is there anyone left standing between Darth Sinner and a maiden title in Rome?Become a ⁠Friend of The Tennis Podcast⁠: https://bit.ly/FriendOfTheTennisPodcastCheck out our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠new merch shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: https://www.thetennispodcast.net/shopSign up to receive our free ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (daily at Slams and weekly the rest of the year, featuring Matt's Stat, mascot photos, Fantasy League updates, and more): http://eepurl.com/gbmzRXFollow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (@thetennispodcast): / djqzbwwmk.
