An exploration of the ongoing debate surrounding professional doubles and its future. In this episode, I directly address the recent comments about doubles from Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim on the Served Podcast, ignited by Reilly Opelka. I also created a separate video addressing the issue (see links in show notes below).I believe one of the problems we face is that there has been an echo chamber culture around the doubles debate. We need people with different opinions to come together for conversations that create change. While I haven't been able to get Andy, Jon, or Reilly on the podcast yet, I thought this was the next best thing.Here's what I attempt to cover.Where I agree and disagree with Andy & JonWhy doubles does have a "user education" problemThe "business case" for doubles specialistsWhy other sports like professional driving or golf can helpThe economics of doubles at the majors vs 250's & 500's (a topic I'm still trying to understand)My vision for a future doubles tourI hope this episode helps keep the conversation going and creates positive change for tennis. I certainly don't have all the answers, but if we can have productive debates and explore solutions tennis will benefit.Show Notes:Opelka's Initial Comments on InstagramAndy & Jon's Reaction on the Served Podcast (minute 25)My 7-minute Video on how a consulting firm might view doubles-----**Join the #1 Doubles Strategy Newsletter for Club Tennis Players** New doubles strategy lessons weekly straight to your inbox**Become a Tennis Tribe Member**Tennis Tribe Members get access to premium video lessons, a monthly member-only webinar, doubles strategy Ebooks & Courses, exclusive discounts on tennis gear, and more.Learn More & Sign Up Here**Other Free Doubles Content**Serve Strategy CheatsheetReturn Strategy CheatsheetServe Strategy 101 - Video Course

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 23ú lá de mí Eanair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 2003 bhuaigh Andy Roddick an Australian Open. Bhí sé an chluiche is faide riamh. D'imir siad nach mór 5 uair a chloig. An cluiche is faide riamh I Melbourne. I 2012 shiúil Eve Hewson ar an chairpéad dhearg do chéad uair ag An Fhéile Scannán Sundance. Bhí sí ann chun a scannán This Must Be The Place a chuir I láthair. I 2003 bhí an chontae ag iarradh onóir a thabhairt chuig Brian Boru. Bhí an Brian Boru Spire ag dul chuig Baile Átha Cliath agus chosain sé níos mó ná 4 milliún euro. Mhol Hugh King an ghluaiseacht den spire I mBaile Átha Cliath agus ceangail a dhéanamh dá fréamhacha sa chontae seo. I 2012 léigh na mílte daoine ó Mheiriceá faoin chontae agus iarthar an tír sa Huffington Post. Tháinig Richard Bangs chuig an chontae agus rinne sé aird a tharraingt chuig an chontae leis an chultúr, bia agus áiteanna le dul. Sin Jessie J le Domino an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2012. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1971 bhí George Harrison an chéad amhránaí ó The Beatles chun amhrán a bheith aige chun dul chuig uimhir a haon. Chuaigh an t-amhrán My Sweet Lord chuig uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain. I 2014 gabhadh Justin Bieber nuair a bhí sé ag tiomáint a Lamborghini I gcoinne charr eile I Miami. Dúirt na póilíní ní raibh sé ag éisteacht leo nuair a stop siad é. Chomh maith leis sin ní raibh a cheadúnas I ndáta. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Ray Elliot I mBéal Feirste I 1939 agus rugadh aisteoir Ewen Bremner san Albain I 1972 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo.
