If you’ve ever hit a low point or felt like starting over is impossible, this conversation is for you. In today’s episode, we sit down with WTA pro, Jamie Loeb, as she opens up about one of the toughest years of her life—including losing her father, stepping away from the sport, and rebuilding herself mentally and physically for a 2026 comeback. Tennis players and fans alike know how overwhelming it can feel when life derails your goals. That’s why this episode focuses on the human side of the journey: how she’s healing, how she’s training, and how she’s preparing to grind her way from the bottom of the rankings back into competing with the world’s best. We’ve covered pro tennis for years, and this is one of the most honest, grounded, and inspiring conversations we’ve ever hosted. Whether you’re an athlete, a fan, or someone simply trying to bounce back from a hard season, her story offers perspective—and a reminder that a comeback isn’t a moment…it’s a process. What you’ll hear in this episode: How she processed grief and burnout while stepping away from the WTA Tour Why 2026 represents more than a comeback — it's a fresh start The mindset shift that helped her rebuild confidence What training looks like when you’re starting from the bottom Her plan to climb back into the top ranks The pressure, the hope, the grind… and the excitement for what’s next If you’re looking for motivation or simply want to understand what life on tour really looks like beyond the match results, this conversation brings clarity and encouragement.

In this episode, Catherine Harrison opens up about the toughest stretch of her career -- multiple injuries, months off tour, and the honest conversations that pushed her to rethink what longevity and success really mean. Now, with 2026 on the horizon, she’s committing fully to doubles to chase the Grand Slam she knows she’s capable of. Tennis fans get an inside look at the mindset shift, the rehab grind, the challenge of rebuilding confidence, and what goes into choosing the right partner. Catherine breaks down how doubles offers a clearer path to winning at the biggest stages, and why this next chapter feels more intentional, more strategic, and more exciting than anything she’s done before. Whether you’ve followed her since UCLA or discovered her on tour, this is Catherine’s open and detailed account and a powerful reminder of why comebacks in tennis matter.

No, it isn't Travis and Taylor...instead, today we have the cutest crossover couple from the NFL and the WTA: Angela and Alex! Angela Kulikov is a CA girl who played college tennis at USC and is now a doubles specialist on the WTA Pro Tour, but can also kick some serious butt in singles and knows a thing or two about football having gone viral as the QB Chick right around the pandemic showcasing her absolute athleticism and ability to do it all! She has seen success on the pro tour and currently is dealing with a few minor injury snafus but always has some fun stories along the way. Alex Ward stands at 6 foot 4 and grew up in Florida…a hot bed for tennis as we all know, but currently wears number 47 and is the Long Snapper for the Los Angeles Rams! He played college football for the Knights at Central Florida but if you happen to see him on a tennis court you probably would assume he played tennis at UCF. He might just be the best tennis player currently on the NFL! Listen to their story on how they met, who loves tennis more, and how they have helped each other along the way as they navigate being pro athletes in two very different sports. We also chat about off seasons, financial security as a pro athlete, training, the mental side of it all and more. Oh and don't miss the big question, WHO IS THE GOAT: Tom Brady or Roger Federer?!

We know you love the classic line of Head Prestiges as much as we do! So it was easy for a few of us to come together and talk about the heritage of these racquets and all the nostalgia around the new intro of the Prestige Classic 2.0! Sporting the iconic maroon color that was introduced with the Prestige Pro 600 in the late 80s, this racquet is not only a great collectible, but it also offers a truly phenomenal hitting experience. With its compact head, thin 19.5mm beam, dense string pattern and low RA the Prestige Classic 2.0 delivers the buttery feedback and mindless precision of a bygone era. That said, this is no mere clone of the original. Head spent over a year experimenting with different layups in order to create a slightly more stable and powerful response without losing the sublime feel that has attracted generations of players. The upshot, according to our TW playtesters, is a more modern Prestige Classic, one that makes it easier to get the ball moving through the court. That said, even without Twaron, this modern remake still captures the magical playability that has defined this racquet since its release over 30 years ago. We tried to answer all your questions in terms of who has played with the Prestiges from the past and which one this plays closest to as well as what makes this racquet a must have!

Babolat is releasing a racquet designed with and endorsed by one of the greatest players of all time, Rafael Nadal! In this episode we learn everything we could want and MORE about this new frame! Completely unique in spec, it boasts a swingweight above 370 (!!!) and a stiffness rating of 70, while the strung weight is just under 12 ounces. We had the chance to speak with Olivier Carlier, Babolat's Global Marketing Manager in the racquet category and picked his brain about this one of a kind frame! We asked him things like: How did this racquet come about?! Take a deep dive into the specs and materials What was it like working with Rafa?! What makes him so unique (swinging such a hefty racquet as efficiently as he does, Rafa's idiosyncrasies and superstitions; etc.) What is the best string set up for this racquet? What is Rafa's string set up? Advantages of high stiffness The cosmetics and how much of a role Rafa played How does this racquet differ from the Pure Aero and more! While we can't all swing as effectively as Rafa, players will find the racquet to absorb and redirect pace, load balls with tons of mass and rock solid stability from everywhere on the court. And this is as close to what Rafa uses that you can get! Even if you can't swing it, it would be a great collectible for any Rafa fan!

You can't HANDLE the truth of what your racquet's pallet shape measures out too! Just kidding! :) But in this episode, we dive deep into all things grip shape and size and get down to the nitty gritty of your racquet's pallet. Troy joins Michelle to talk about the generalizations about the different pallet shapes and sizes. He also gets down to the bare bones and measures the racquets to see if we can de-bunk some of the stereotypes of some of the brands and their grip shapes! Included below are measurements that Troy took of racquets with 4 3/8 grips. (If you are curious as to what a pallet is, we would simply define it as the firm base material underneath the grip on a racquet, or even say, it helps shape the grip of your racquet.)

New racquets from Prince are here! And our playtesters take a deep dive to tell you all about the new Prince Ripstick and Synergy 98! From a super powerful racquet to a unique new string pattern, our team talks about the good and challenging aspects of both of these new, modern frames! Prince Ripstick 100 : With this racquet Prince has created a powerful modern player's racquet with above average comfort for the breed. At 11.2 ounces strung, the Ripstick is not only fast enough for intermediate players, it also packs a near 330 swingweight, giving it enough stability and plow through to tempt the more advanced ball striker. This racquet's comfortable feel comes partly from the extra large O-Ports that surround the hitting area. Prince has delivered an impressive weapon to intermediate players in search of power. The arm-friendly comfort is a nice bonus. Prince Synergy 98 : An impressive weapon with controllable power and outstanding feel. At 11.4 ounces strung this stick is mobile enough for intermediates, but it also packs a beefy 330+ RDC swingweight, which means it has enough stability and plow through for the advanced ball striker. In addition to its control-oriented 98 square inch head, this racquet has an 18x18 string pattern, giving it impressive precision when driving the ball through the court. Other features include a uniquely textured aerodynamic surface (for easier acceleration) along with a CTS beam, which is thinner in the shaft (for better feel) and thicker in the head (for extra power and stability). Experienced players looking for a stable player's racquet with outstanding feel and controllable power should love this one. Questions?! Comments?!
