Steve Weissman on Nadal's Tennis Mortality, Swiatek's Clay Contenders and More From Madrid + WME Vice Preident Marijn Bal On Becoming A Premier Agent For The Stars

Steve Weissman is one of the premier broadcasters at Tennis Channel, and he returns to the podcast to discuss all the happenings in tennis and his own work life. Weissman discusses the emotional tribute to Rafael Nadal at The Madrid Open, and assesses the Spainard's status as he makes a final push on the clay. The host of TC Live examines Jannik Sinner's injury management, Carlos Alcaraz's upset loss to Andrey Rublev, and whether Daniil Medvedev or Taylor Fritz can seize a huge opportunity in Madrid. And Weissman explains why Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff and Danielle Collins are worthy contenders to Iga Swiatek as the players ramp up for Roland Garros.
And then Marijn Bal, Vice President at WME Sports and one of the top agents in tennis joins the show for a conversation about his journey from Holland to the upper echelon of his profession. Bal explains how he got his professional break at IMG, how he stays committed and organized, and why he enjoys his career more than ever. The agent also discusses the memories of Monica Puig's Olympic Gold Medal, and why Petra Kvitova continues to make him a better person. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
