It's always a marquee episode when Jim Courier returns to the show, and the Hall of Fame player turned A-list broadcaster brings his best yet again. Courier discusses all the action at the ATP Finals in Turin, and recaps the 2024 season which saw Jannik Sinner claim the two majors and the year-end No. 1 ranking. The commentator covers a variety of topics including how Alcaraz grew his game this year, why Alexander Zverev could be on the verge of a slam breakthrough, and the specifics areas that Taylor Fritz can continue to improve in his quest for more success. And Courier examines what the next move might be for Novak Djokovic, while paying tribute to the legendary career of Rafael Nadal on the eve of his final tournament.
And then Austin Krajicek returns to the podcast for a look back at his last year in the game, which saw him reach several enormous milestones. Krajicek dives into his Olympic run with doubles partner Rajeev Ram, which culminated in an Olympic Silver Medal for the Americans. He explains why playing against Nadal and Alcaraz at Roland Garros was a surreal experience, and describes his frame of mind as they were able to notch the victory. Krajicek gets into his physical and mental preparation, his goals for 2025 with Ram as his new tour partner, and why he's excited and ready to perform as a member of Team USA's Davis Cup roster in next week's final. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
