Mark Petchey kicks off this episode with his analysis of the Laver Cup, where he witnessed Team Europe reclaim the trophy in Berlin. Petchey assesses why the event remains one of the best spectacles on the tennis calendar, how it amplifies the doubles game, and why it's another example of how everything Roger Federer touches turns to gold. The commentator also disscusses the current happenings in the "Asian Swing" section of the season, with Marin Cilic & Jerry Shang claiming trophies, and an enormous combined event with many of the game's stars kicking off in Beijing.And then Magnus Norman, one of the game's premier coaches of the 21st century joins the podcast for conversation about his life in tennis. Norman looks back at his playing career, which saw him reach a major final and #2 in the rankings before it was cut short by injuries. He explains why he chose to become a coach, working with Thomas Johnassen, Robin Soderling and Stan Wawrinka. The Swede recalls Soderling's historic win over Rafael Nadal at Roland Garros, and how he worked with Wawrinka to find that killer instinct that propelled him to three major titles. And Norman reveals why he decided to found the "Good To Great Tennis Academy," the first of it's kind in Sweden.Rounding out the show is Joel Drucker, a prominent writer with decades of experience covering the sport around the globe. Drucker discusses the generational shift at the top of the sport, and why there are always ebbs and flows in the pro game. The writer also examines the state of team events with the Davis & Laver Cups at center stage, and analyzes the pros and cons of mid-match coaching. Drucker is a member of the USTA Northern California Hall of Fame, and on the eve of that honor he professes why writing about tennis is the best job in the world. Hosted by Mitch Michals.

Veteran Tennis.com writer, Racquet Magazine columnist & "Three - A Tennis Show" podcast host Joel Drucker ("Jimmy Connors Saved My Life") stops by to drop some serious knowledge on how the decade of the 1970s transformed the sport of professional tennis into the global juggernaut it is today - including pivotal turning points such as: The groundbreaking World Championship Tennis (WCT) and Virginia Slims Circuit tours that brought standardized scheduling, big-time media exposure and unprecedented prize money to both the men's and women's pro games for the first time' 1973's paradigm-shifting intergender "Battle of the Sexes" competition between inveterate hustler Bobby Riggs and female icon Billie Jean King - an international spectacle whose result both transcended tennis and changed the face of American sports; and World Team Tennis - the innovative, ahead-of-its-time rethink of how the pro game could be played - featuring city-domiciled, co-ed, team-oriented match play on colorful playing surfaces in front of raucous crowds in major indoor arenas from coast to coast. + + + SPONSOR THANKS: 417 Helmets (promo code: GOODSEATS): https://417helmets.com/?wpam_id=3 BUY/READ EARLY & OFTEN:  Jimmy Connors Saved My Life: A Personal Biography (2004): https://amzn.to/46cdPQQ FIND & FOLLOW: Website: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill Instagram (+ Threads): https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable

Ajla Tomljanović knows the hardships of injury all-too-well. For this week's episode, I sit down with one of the best tennis players of her time to chat about the highs and lows of taking time off, and how it feels for her to take a back seat after a runaway year in 2022 defeating legend Serena Williams in her final match at the U.S. Open. She shares a lot about her mentality on and off the court, plus how it feels to have so many eyes on her as a rising star. Plus: How she knows when the "right" time will be to get back into the game after a nagging knee injury, and why she adores training with Omorpho's weighted gear.

Graham sat down with former tennis star Caroline Wozniacki back in 2014. She discusses her meteoric rise to the top of the tennis world, her close friendship with Serena Williams and opens up about golf star Rory McIlroy breaking off their engagement.

Taylor Townsend was once asked to take time off from playing tennis competitively by the USTA to go "work on her health" (despite being the No. 1 junior tennis player in the world). Fast forward, today she's a new mom and recently played in the doubles final at the US Open. For episode 223, I'm talking to Taylor all about body acceptance and how she stands as a role model to women everywhere. We also chat about what it was like coming back to sport after pregnancy, the badass catsuit she dawned in her recent matches, and what she's looking forward to next.
