  • Asian Swing, Overhauling Technique & Patience on the ATP Tennis Tour
    In this episode, Marcus and Dave sit down to dive deep into the reality of life on the ATP doubles circuit.

    More than just tournament recaps, Marcus opens up about the technical rebuild happening behind his game. He shares what it takes to tear down over a decade of bad habits, the patience required to rewire deep muscle memory under pressure, and how hard it is to trust mechanical changes when matches are on the line.

    • Recapping the Asian Swing: Lessons from competing in China and Tokyo
    • Rebuilding Technique: What Marcus is actively changing in his mechanics
    • The Mental Battle: Staying patient when unlearning years of muscle memory
    • Tour Realities: Navigating doubles life, traveling, and staying sharp mentally

  • Interview special: Coaching, Friendship and the Secret Fight Inside your head
    In this special "This Is Your Life" style episode, ATP 60 Marcus Willis and Dave sit down with tennis coach Ollie Clark for an unfiltered, deeply personal conversation.

    Ollie walks us through his journey into tennis, how his path crossed with Marcus, and what life looks like on and off the court. But behind the outgoing personality, the thriving coaching career and a loving young family Ollie was harbouring a dark struggle with his mental health.

    Ollie opens up about the secret battle he was fighting behind closed doors, proving that you never truly know what someone is carrying—no matter how bright they seem on the outside. Tennis helped Ollie through the tough times and hitting a fuzzy yellow ball is actually worth much more than winning or losing a set.

    This episode discusses sensitive topics related to mental health that some listeners may find disturbing. If you or someone you know is struggling, please don't carry it alone. Reach out to a trusted friend, family member, a mental health charity or contact the Samaritans
