ATP’s Mike Cation & Patrick Kuhle from TennisOne talk Miami Open Week 228 Mar 202300:41:00

Despite the background noise in the confines of the Hard Rock Stadium, really enjoyed these two conversations!

Have enjoyed listening to Mike on broadcasts for years and it's been awesome to get to pick his brain whenever we bump into each other. The conversations begins during a discussion Mike and I had about the tv cameras and then we got busy with the storylines of the tournament. 

Patrick, a friend of the show, has conducted interviews all week at the tournament with the ATP and WTA stars for the TennisOne app and has been creating content around the event on their social channels. Biggggg Wilson guy! 

 

 

Miami Open weekend: Andrey Rublev and Tommy Paul talk with Nate as they push forward26 Mar 202300:30:51

“He (the chair umpire) said you can’t have conversation with your coach. I thought we just changed that rule. I’m just super confused on what we can and can’t do on court…

I think what Frances said is great. Open the whole thing up. Let people walk around. Let young people drink beers while we play tennis. Let me have a conversation with someone in the crowd. I know for me it’s not always the best. But for Foe? Foe can do it the whole match and still play great tennis. I think that would be very interesting to watch.”
