Shownotes

I was very excited to speak to Mark Petchey, former pro players, coach and commentator for over 20 years. I remember seeing/listening to him commentating and providing valuable player insights from my younger days and it was a privilege to speak to him.

We talk about:

  • Wimbledon 2019 reflection
  • Why the speed of the courts must change
  • Roger is the last link to Serve and Volley
  • Mental ability of the top 3/4
  • Look at tennis in 5 years


  • Playing Agassi in 94
  • Beating Chang/Stick/Haas


  • Moving into coaching
  • Andy Murray as a 16 year old
  • Maria Sakkari
  • Esteban Carril
  • Felix Auger-Aliassime ball toss issue


  • Life as a coach v commentator
  • Hawkeye Data
  • Prime video

And more


Hope you enjoy it. 


We have had some audio issues which I though where my fault speaking over guests but after concentrating on not speaking over Mark and our next recording and editing I have realised it my issue but a software issue. Apologies about this and from episode  7 it will be fixed.
