Alcaraz Conquers Roland Garros, Swiatek Reings Supreme and Djokovic's Future with Greg Rusedski + Pro Adam Walton on Challenger Success and Working His Way To The ATP

Roland Garros 2024 is in the books, and former Top 5 pro Greg Rusdeski returns to the show to discuss how Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek took home the trophies in Paris. The broadcaster analyzes how Alcaraz was able to his third major title, his place in the game as a bonafide superstar, and how his rivalry with new world #1 Jannik Sinner continues to heat up. Rusedski also examines how brilliant Iga Swiatek is on the clay, which players can contend with her during the rest of the WTA season, and if the Polish player will break Chris Evert's record of seven Roland Garros titles. And Rusedski explains why he's not counting out Novak Djokovic when he returns from injury, even if it's in this year's Olympic Games.
And then Adam Walton joins the podcast for a conversation about his journey from a small town in Australia to becoming one of the Top 100 players in the world. Walton discusses his transition from college at the University of Tennessee to the professional ranks, where he started with no ranking points at all. The young player, who recently won his third Challenger title and qualified for the Wimbledon main draw, explains what areas of his game he's been working on and how he deals with the ups and downs of tennis. It's a fascinating chat with a player who worked relentlessly to become a legit pro, and is poised to keep climbing up the tennis ladder. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
