Alexandra Stevenson and Hugues Laverdière in Serving Aces discuss the one handed back hand - the art of the one-handed backhand and why it is disappearing.  Alexandra says no more one-handed players in men's top 10 with the new rankings.

Sakkari and Pegula let go of their coaches.  Sakkari had Tom Hill for six years.  Pegula had David Witt for five years.  They discuss winners and losers in the different ATP and WTA Tours.

Alexandra mentions the NBA All Star Game.  Tells Ougi about Steph Curry and Sabrina Ionesco from the WNBA.  They did a 3 point challenge shoot-out.  Curry 29 and Ionesco 26.

Ougi and Alexandra get into footwork on the tennis court before and after the shot.  Things to look out for.  Newsy notes with BAFTAS and Peoples Choice Awards, Genesis Open at the Riviera and the disqualification of Jordan Spieth for messing up his scorecard.  The shootings in Kansas City.  In America it's Presidents Day.  Quote of the podcast goes to John Wooden..."We can have no progress without change...whether it be basketball or anything else."
