On KickServe-QuickServe, part of Tennis Channel’s KickServeRadio.com, former American ATP star, Sammy Giammalva joins AZ and Jonny to kickoff this new add to the program
These 3 all go way back to 70’s, and the two former longhorns can’t help but wonder what UT tennis might have done, had Giammalva followed in his father’s footsteps instead of turning pro straight out of high school.
Joined by Taylor Dent, on ATP Tour Finals weekend, TD discusses club ownership, a proper tennis mindset, and how his serve and volley game compares to Pete Sampras
With Rafa and Novak BOTH losing in London, are we finally on the verge of a changing of the guard? And hey Mats, golf with DJ? Do tell!!
Joined by the great STEFAN EDBERG, we examine how in the world these Swedes that both got to #1 in the world, played so incredibly differently!
One of the truly most idolized players of all time, it would stand to reason that Edberg would then coach perhaps THE MOST idolized player of all time, Roger Federer!
Very few in our sport light up a room, a court, or a studio like Bethanie Mattek Sands. Boy did we have fun chopping it up with her!!
“I’m not really big on the whole bubble thing, because it definitely takes away good balance!”
Jimmy Arias is all the sudden one of the hardest working pros in tennis. Tennis Channel analyst, and now Director of Tennis at IMG Academy, this man is always in high gear!
The former Italian Open Champ, and top 5er, Jimmy takes a look at this year’s French, and he and Mats look WAY back at a Monte Carlo final that featured them in their prime.
He was the ultimate French Open Giant-Killer, beating Rafa in ’09 and Roger in ’10, when both were defending champs at Roland Garros
At #4 in the world and hot as a comet, Robin Soderling was seemingly well on his way to winning a major or two, if not more. Then, in the blink of an eye, he was gone. So….why the sudden flame-out??
It was a US Open that was no picnic to put on, but is it “asterisk” worthy? A guy that won it (and two of his buddies) say no way!
Dominic puts the I in Thiem, as the Austrian slugger crawls across the finish line to win his 1st, while Osaka gets #3, her second in NYC.
And what about Moms in tennis? Our take may surprise you!
He’s the “Last One to Get ‘er Done.” Andy Roddick’s 2003 US Open title is the last singles major won by an American man. Has it really been 17 years?
Roddick joins Mats, Jonny, and AZ for an extremely entertaining look back at this Hall of Famers great career. HE thinks he was inducted too early, but we would have none of it!
For Pete’s Sake celebrates the 14-time slam winner’s amazing career, and in segment 3 features Steve Flink, who’s new book PETE SAMPRAS, GREATNESS REVISITED is available to you September 1st. It’s a hell of a read!
The greatest American player of all time? Many insist on it, and how can you blame them? And for that matter, it could be argued that in an absolute “must-win” situation, Pete just might be your guy. Mats Wilander certainly has his thoughts on that!
Vegas Rollers Coach Tim Blenkiron joins the boys in segment 1. The guys talk 1st tournament ever in segment 2. And segment three features some potentially good news about the US Open
At a time when tennis needed it badly, World Team Tennis plays in a West Virginia bubble, and the sport has signs of life!
