15th Seed Tennis Podcast

By: the 15th Seed
  • Summary

  • The 15th Seed Tennis Podcast is all about life on the men’s professional tennis tour.

    It is a personal diary of the various tournaments throughout the 2024 season.

    Apart from recording the matches played, it is an opportunity to share personal thoughts and views.

    Tennis is not just about the wins & losses on court, but the journey to make the tour, the preparation, training & injury management, dealing with travel, dealing with down time and of course, experiencing the exhilaration of success and dealing with the devastation of defeat.

    Am more than happy to have others come along and share the journey.

    Will also use the podcast as an opportunity to answer the many questions that receive about the life of a professional tennis player.

    So would welcome any questions, comments or thoughts to “idealinsport@gmail.com”

    Thank you balls boys, thank you Hawkeye ......... “The 15th Seed”

  • Ep 28 Geneva review (1)
    Nov 20 2024

    15th seed

    Late decision to add Geneva to the tournament schedule.

    Going against the strategy of not playing tournaments in the week before a Grand Slam.

    Felt more important to have matches under the belt.

    Have played and won first up.

    Am asked, what is the biggest problem facing tennis today and think the answer may surprise.

  • Ep27 Rome review
    Nov 19 2024

    15th seed

    The life of a professional athlete can be challenging.

    A first match loss means few ATP ranking points, little prize money and not matches under the belt in the lead up to a Grand Slam event.

    There are players who excel on certain surfaces. Clay in particular. Rankings are not particularly relevant when meeting an opponent on that preferred surface. This was the case.

    There is the need to be flexible. As a result of the loss, the tournament schedule is altered. Now off to Geneva which had not been in the plans. There is a need to play more matches.

  • Ep26 Rome preview
    Nov 19 2024

    15th seed

    In Rome feeling poorly.

    Rest prescribed and am off the court in the lead up.

    With a bye first round should be ready to go when my first match is scheduled.

    With the prospect of medication need to be aware of the (appropriate & necessary) WADA rules. Touch on drug testing & the need to advise of your whereabouts during the year.

    Until the first round, thank you ball persons, thank you Hawkeye.
