Rajeev Ram & Austin Krajicek on Their Silver Medal Olympic Experience, Beating Nadal & Alcaraz
Épisode 193
mercredi 21 août 2024 • Durée 22:26
🎾🥈 Austin Krajicek and Rajeev Ram won an Olympic Silver medal for Team USA at the 2024 Olympics. I spoke with them a few weeks after the Olympics to hear about their experience in Paris, beating Rafael Nadal & Carlos Alcaraz, working with the Bryan Bros, and more.
We talked about how difficult it was to close out their quarterfinal match against Nadal and Alcaraz with the crowd so against them. What were they feeling and saying in those moments? They also shared how "comforting" it was to have the doubles GOATs, Bob and Mike Bryan, in Paris with them. At the end, they share the overall Olympic experience and how it felt to be there with Team USA.
Rajeev and Austin will both compete at the US Open next week, and I'll be there as well. Watch them and all the doubles action on ESPN Plus. If you're attending in person, let me know. I'd love to meet you.

Marcelo Arevalo Interview: The Highs & Lows of Winning a Major
Épisode 184
mercredi 26 juin 2024 • Durée 26:33
Marcelo Arevalo is a top 10 doubles player on the ATP Tour who recently won Roland Garros for the second time in three years. In this episode, he shares his experience winning the French Open again.
One of the things that makes tennis so difficult is the sustained focus required to win. This can create mental fatigue and stress. Marcelo doesn't dance around that topic in this episode. Instead of the typical canned responses you hear during post-match interviews, he shares how difficult it was during and after winning the tournament.
He also explains:
A strategic adjustment he and his partner, Mate Pavic, made to turn around their semifinal match against the top seeds after dropping the first set.
What he's learned from his new partner, a 7x major champion himself, this year.
His thoughts on how to make doubles more popular.
If you're not a Marcelo fan yet, you will be after. He's an incredibly positive and generous guy with great energy on the court. Vamos Chelo!

How to Approach the Net in Doubles (the right way)
Épisode 93
mercredi 22 février 2023 • Durée 23:12
What is the best way to approach the net in doubles?
There are certain times you might want to avoid the baseline rallies. Maybe you're in an unfavorable matchup from the baseline, you need to put pressure on the opponents, or you're simply more comfortable at the net.
Regardless of the reason, there is a lot you want to consider when approaching the net in doubles.
Is it better to hit deep or short?
Can I approach with a lob?
Should I always hit to the baseline player?
How often should I hit at the net player?
What if I don't like half volleys?
In this episode, I answer all those questions and more.
