The TennisWorthy Podcast revisits Season 2 to close the year, featuring some of our favorite topics and legends.Today we're focusing on the psychology of tennis, which is not solely about psychology, but about dealing with pressure, keeping emotions at the right level, and generally looking after a player's mental health, which is becoming a more high-profile topic given the ultra-competitive nature of the current professional tennis world. The idea of players using psychologists has really only come in over the past 30 to 40 years. Five Hall of Famers, including Jim Courier, Conchita Martinez, Margaret Court, Patrick Rafter and Esther Vergeer, share their methods for mental fortitude and how they adapted to pressure on court.For more information on the TennisWorthy Podcast and full episode transcriptions, visit tennisfame.com/podcast.

Sam Newman, Mike Sheahan and Don Scott - 'You Cannot Be Serious'
Patrick Michael Rafter (born 28 December 1972) is an Australian former world No. 1 tennis player. He reached the top Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) singles ranking on 26 July 1999. His career highlights include consecutive US Open titles in 1997 and 1998, consecutive runner-up appearances at Wimbledon in 200 and 2001, winning the 1999 Australian Open men's doubles tournament alongside Jonas Bjorkman, and winning two singles and two doubles ATP Masters titles. He became the first man in the Open Era to win Canada Masters, Cincinnati Masters and the US Open in the same year, which he achieved in 1998; this achievement has been dubbed the American Summer Slam. To date, only two players have followed this feat: Andy Roddick in 2003, and Rafael Nadal in 2013. Rafter is the third man in the Open Era to reach semifinals or better of every Grand Slam tournament in both singles and doubles, after Rod Laver and Stefan Edberg, and remains the last man to date to accomplish this. Rafter is also the only player to remain undefeated against Roger Federer with at least three meetings, though the meetings took place early in Federer's career. He is also the only player with a winning record over the Swiss on all the three main surfaces: hard clay and grass.

Today I chat with former pro and entrepreneur Peter Clarke.Peter was a fiery Irish promising tennis who quickly reached an ATP ranking of 229. Retiring quite young today, he got into coaching and soon after set up multiple successful businesses. He talks about growing up in Australia, his tennis days, some good anecdotes and his most recent project is called Coach Life, an online video platform. He chased down coaches worldwide for the past 12 months who worked with today's top players when they were juniors to learn their coaching methods in those early days. Currently, there are over 350 videos to learn from and I haven't watched them all but those I have, I found exceptional. On the platform are the junior coaches of Iga Swiatek, Nick Kyrgios, Tommy Paul, Taylor Fritz, Genie Bouchard, Coco Gauff, Sloane Stephens, Kei Nishikori, Pete Sampras, Francis Tiafoe, Pat Rafter, Denis Shapovalov and many more. Each month a new coach will be added to the platform. And it's not all on-court coaching, there is also fitness, nutrition, mental and more.Check it out here with a free 7-day trial.EnjoyFabioThis podcast is sponsored by ASICS.

On this episode, a very special guest intros the show with a callback to an unfortunate incident in Marko's golf career.Ox and Marko debate whether you can, or can't, have gold plated teeth and it then moves into the boys theory of evolution and how animals have evolved. Don't ask. We can't figure out that tenuous link either. Ox suggests that they might revisit 'evolution chat' in a future episode. We're hoping he forgets.'Can We Still Be Friends' is back and Marko has a scenario to pose to Ox involving him and his wife Trish. Ox reveals a story of when he beat up a kid who sprayed graffiti on his fence, the kid is probably still scarred.And in an embarrassing reveal. We find out that Ox's taste in movies is appalling. Fan of Die Hard? Goodfellas? Sicario? The Bourne movies? Noooo....far worse. He should be ashamed.We bring back the cone of silence this week, and find out Ox and Marko's pickup techniques from years gone by - what worked for them. Obviously being the cone of silence, we can't share it here - and it has to remain in confidence in the Couple of Blokes, Couple of Beers family. But suffice to say, Marko's technique in particular was a disgrace and you may never eat an Allens Snake lolly again.On pickup techniques, Ox reveals the former footy player who was 'best on ground' in this area, and Mark Allen reveals the greatest 'team player' in the history of Australian nightclubs. And Ox and Marko reveal the truth about the kind of guy Pat Rafter really is.Oh and unfortunately, there is another short-statured person gag on the show.
