You think college tennis is a “death sentence” for making it in the pros? Think again, as two former Texas Aggies are on a serious tear at the highest level. Their coach, Steve Denton, joins us!
Also…Sabalenka vs Kygrios ? A modern-day King vs Riggs?? Yep, it’s gonna happen, so buckle up!
Want to hang with the cool kids? They don’t come much cooler than RF. Wilson’s Juan Diego Cuadrado will tell you how YOU can get on the team.
Also, a couple of Steve Denton’s A&M boys (Vacherot and Rinderknecht) shake things up in Shaghai, and the American women are making more noise than ever!
Wilander makes strong showing in Kona!
Rounding out an amazing WORLD RACQUETS CONFERENCE, Brian Dillman, Andy Zodin and headliner Mats Wilander discussed the concept of “re branding” and how Mats has done so much of that during his Hall of Fame career.
They are the player of the year and the story of the year in women’s tennis. Aryna and Amanda have lifted the women’s game in so many ways!
And, Carlitos is now the king, as he and Jannik have a death-grip on men’s tennis.
They play sets to 4, and the matches last about an hour, but it technically counts as a “major” with a cool $mill at stake. Is this the new normal in pro tennis?
Also, Jonny made a pretty sweet run at The Open in ’83.Lost 3rd round to Lendl but almost played Nastase. Ok Jonny…do tell!
Another incredibly touching moment in pro tennis, as de Minaur comforts Davidovich Fokina, after an epic DC final that left the Spaniard in emotional shambles.
And…Venus Williams follows in the footsteps of the great George Foreman, coming out of retirement at 45, to show that some great champions are simply ageless.
Amanda gave it her all on the grass of Wimbledon, and it ended the way it started ironically, with a love and love score line. That aside, she beat #1 to get to the grandest final of ’em all, and that is a beautiful thing.
Also, this “new two” men’s rivalry is now officially on fire, with Sinner the winner, and now they’ve won 7 straight!
So, what do we make of this guy? Super talented, pretty quirky, and really unpredictable. But maybe, just maybe Bublik is ready to get serious about doing some serious winning!
And…quick, who’s the last guy NOT named Alcaraz or Sinner to win a major? Took you a second there, didn’t it?
If this is the new era, the new “it rivalry” in men’s tennis, then we are blessed. Carlitos and Jannik put on a show for the ages, and Wilander was front row for the spectacle.
Also…Coco’s brand appeal is skyrocketing, as she takes down the great Sabalenka, in a ladies final that wasn’t too shabby in its own right!
She’s fierce, and she is coming on strong. Peyton Stearns was a 3rd set TB-winning machine on her way to the Italian semis. Good news for the American women on clay!
And…”hey Mats, how do you enjoy being treated like tennis royalty while in Europe?”
“Well, it reminds my wife that at one time in my life I wasn’t a complete dumba$$!”
