Today I chat with the current world number 1 junior Joel Schwarzler. Joel is from Austria with a South African mother and is transitioning to the pro tour.

We chat about:

• Early days playing tennis
• Dislike of his parents watching his matches
• Austrian inspirations
• His coach, former pro Jurgen Melzer
• Junior versus pro tour
• His 1st ATP Point
• Advice for other juniors

I hope you enjoy the chat
