About this episode
This week on the Functional Tennis Podcast, I’m joined by American ATP player Aleks Kovacevic, currently ranked #77 ATP Aleks takes us through his surprising journey to the pro tour, from not thinking he’d ever go pro to finding belief during college and climbing the ATP rankings, including a big win over world #5 Andrey Rublev. He opens up about learning to lose , building confidence, and handling pressure on tour. We also dive into his one-handed backhand , how he approaches training and improvement, and why he’s added the Functional Tennis Saber to his warmup to help with timing and focus. Packed with honest insights and practical takeaways, this is a great listen for aspiring players, coaches, and fans of the grind. Fabio This podcast is sponsored by ASICS.
