Nick Monroe on Casper Ruud's Title, Nadal's Madrid Finale and Working On "Second Serve," + Alize Lim Talks Broadcating, Monte Carlo and Rybakina Coming For Swiatek's Throne

Tennis Channel Broadcaster Nick Monroe returns to the podcast to discuss the 2024 clay court season, which just saw Casper Ruud win his biggest title ever in Barcelona. Monroe discusses Rafael Nadal's mindset entering Madrid, Jan-Lennard Struff's first career tournament win in Munich, and Taylor Fritz re-claiming the top American spot in the rankings with Ben Shelton & Tommy Paul right on his heels. And Monroe explains why everybody should be watching the "Second Serve" TV show on T2, which he hosts and features a new way to watch tennis.
And then Alize Lim joins the show to discuss why she's determined to end her competitve playing career on her own terms, and how she's become a polished broadcaster. Lim converses about the number of moms on the WTA, Iga Swiatek reaching her 100th week at #1, and how Elena Rybakina claimed the Stuttgart title. The Eurosport commentator also recalls what she learned from interviewing Nadal, and the experiences she had visiting some of the most prestigious tennis schools in the world when she hosted "Academy Life." Hosted by Mitch Michals.
