Nadal's Retirement, Sinner's Shanghai Title and Djokovic's Level With Gill Gross, Dean Goldfine on Coaching Roddick, Working With The USTA And Developing The Next American Stars + An Interview With MarketBeat Open Tournament Director Mark Vellek

  • Summary

  • Gill Gross returns to the podcast on the heels of Rafael Nadal's announcement that he will retire after next month's Davis Cup Final, for a wide-ranging conversation about the Spaniard's decision and legacy. Gross discusses the impact Nadal has made in the record books and off of the court, and breaks down how his ultimate rival Novak Djokovic looked in advancing to the Shanghai final. The broadcaster also recaps Jannik Sinner & Aryna Sabalenka collecting more trophies, the buzz that tense moments in tennis create, and which young men's players he's high on for the longterm. And then Dean Goldfine joins the show for a discussion about his long and distinguished coaching career. Goldfine explains how he started his journey working with Mary Joe Fernandez, and why his partnership with Todd Martin produced so many outstanding moments. One of American tennis' best teachers, Goldfine reflects on his time with Andy Roddick, & his USTA high performance coaching tenure that helped guide young stars like Sebastian Korda & Ben Shelton to new heights. And Goldfine assesses the current landscape of tennis, and why the game continues to evolve and improve. And rounding out this episode we have Mark Vellek, the tournament director for the MarketBeat Open in Sioux Falls. The event is the first time that pro tennis has come to South Dakota, and Vellek dives into the exciting week to come in his home state. The MarketBeat Open features a deep field that includes Chris Eubanks & Learner Tien, and is the first of four USTA Pro Circuit events that will go a long way into determining who wins the Australian Open Wild Card Challenge.
