About this episode
"You’ve got to have everything. That’s not easy. We’ve picked the toughest sport in the world to be professionals at. It is the toughest sport in the world without a doubt.” Pat Cash joins the show this week, catching up with co-hosts Nina Pantic and Irina Falconi while he was in Delray Beach. The Australian is currently working with fast-rising American teenager Brandon Nakashima. Cash is working as a consultant, hoping to help a few pro players on tour. He's got plenty of wisdom to share having been ranked as high as No. 4, won Wimbledon in 1987, and appeared in two Australian Open finals. The esteemed coach has previously worked with Greg Rusedski, Mark Philippoussis, CoCo Vandeweghe and Alexei Popyrin. He shares what he looks for in a new pupil, what stands out to him about Nakashima and how he operates as a coach. He also reveals the inspiration behind his famous checkered bandana, his off-court interests and how he lost his passport on his way to the U.S. last month. Learn more about your ad choices.
