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

One of the biggest stories in sports may be happening off the field – and on betting apps. As 60 Minutes correspondent Jon Wertheim reported earlier this year, what was once done in the shadows is now as much a part of the spectator experience as hot dogs and foam fingers. Placing wagers on everything from point spreads to the color of gatorade bottles is now fully legal in most states. But the popularization of sports betting has brought a new wave of concern over gambling addiction – a condition that 60 Minutes has been covering since before it was officially recognized by the DSM. As we grapple with this new normal, we remember a series of stories from the from the 1970s and 80s – when Dan Rather and Harry Reasoner met an extreme compulsive gambler named Irving North whose addiction was destroying his family. We meet his son Larry today as he relives his experience with his father and their time with 60 Minutes. And Wertheim joins us to consider what the past might say about the future.For more episodes like this one, search for "60 Minutes: A Second Look" and follow the show, wherever you get your podcasts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
As contempt for cancel culture and self-censorship on college campuses continues to drive a political divide across the country, correspondent Jon Wertheim reports on a new start-up university, the University of Austin, in Austin, Texas. Labeled by some as an “anti-woke university,” Wertheim speaks to the founders, students, and advisors, about how they believe they're disrupting modern academia by fostering debate and ideological openness in their classrooms. As chatbots continue to evolve, Lesley Stahl reports from Nairobi, Kenya, on the growing market of “humans in the loop” – workers around the world who help train AI for big American tech companies. Stahl speaks with digital workers who have spent hours in front of screens teaching and improving AI, but complain of poor working conditions, low pay, and undertreated psychological trauma.Correspondent Bill Whitaker cruises through Espanola, New Mexico, a town that's a hub of lowrider culture: vintage American automobiles with vibrant paint jobs and street-scraping suspensions. He meets a community of “cruisers” who are turning their hobby's bad-boy reputation on its head, paving a new route as activists and community servants, and claiming a place as custodians of Hispanic culture and champions of fine art.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Days before America elects its 60th president of the United States, all eyes are on Georgia after it was a center of the scheme to overthrow the 2020 election. In this year's high-stakes race, correspondent Scott Pelley reports on how Georgia officials plan to ensure public trust, combat election fraud conspiracy theories, and protect the safety of poll workers. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe versus Wade, 20 states have either banned or severely restricted abortions, six states have voted to protect access to them, and this Tuesday voters in 10 states will decide on adding abortion rights to their state constitutions. To better understand the profound impact of the fast changing and complex legal landscape, correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi visited Texas, the first state to change its abortion laws. Alfonsi interviewed doctors and mothers who say the laws intended to stop abortions are resulting in unintended consequences, hurting women with desired pregnancies and the people who care for them.

The firm now has a market cap of roughly half a trillion dollars, which is larger than the entire country's GDP.
