Ep. 124 - Tristan Schoolkate (ATP #95) on playing Sinner and Winning 5 set THRILLERS

This week Erik and Aidan discuss the Laver Cup this week, perhaps the strangest tournament in Tennis. It sits in an odd place, as essentially an exhibition, but with matches counting toward players head to head record. The selection process also feels quite strange and biased.

Let us know your thoughts on our choices and be sure to check back next week for another episode!Contents: Intro 0:00Tennis Background 1:30Tennis in Australia 4:03Turning Pro 5:00The Futures Grind 5:58Grand Slam Wildcards 8:00The Impact of the Crowd 13:35Today's Playing Style 14:50Learning to Adapt 17:38The Tennis Mentality 18:36Coaching in Matches 24:13Quick Hitting Questions 26:09Beating Joao Fonseca 38:54Traveling on Tour 42:15Doubles with Bernard Tomic 43:20
