Open Curtain by Ayaan Paruthi

What separates champions when the pressure is at its peak? In this episode, I review Ben Shelton and Carlos Alcaraz's semi final US Open match in 2026, their mindset coming into the quarter final and their physical and mental struggles during the game. I cannot end this episode without saying a special thank you to my dad, for helping me analyze this match, helping with the script for episode and teaching me the best lesson in mental tennis - the bigger battle is not on the court, its in your mind. I also used an AI tool to help with the research.
