In this episode, WTA pro Tamara Zidanšek gets real about life on tour. From the mental battles and injury setbacks to the constant surface changes and pressure of rankings—she doesn’t hold back. We talk about confidence, coaching, journaling, and what it really takes to stay in the game. She also reflects on her deep run at the 2021 French Open and how it changed things.
If you're curious about the behind-the-scenes reality of pro tennis, this one’s a must-listen.
Catherine, David and Matt are back from Paris and here to discuss the first week of the grass court season. Part one - WTA Queen’s. We cover Tatjana Maria’s extraordinary run to the title as women’s tennis returned to The Queen’s Club for the first time in 52 years. How did she use her slice and dice game to defeat the likes of Elena Rybakina, Madison Keys and Amanda Anisimova? And what more could they have done against her? There’s also chat about Zheng Qinwen’s ‘shoenanigans’ and Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter playing doubles together. Part two - Results round up (33m33s). Elise Mertens saves 11 match points against Ekaterina Alexandrova and goes on to triumph in s’Hertogenbosch, Gabriel Diallo wins his first title, and Taylor Fritz continues his dominance over Alexander Zverev. Part three - News (46m30s). We look ahead to this week’s events, including stacked fields in Berlin, Queen’s and Halle, and discuss the main headlines from Wimbledon’s pre event press conference.

Spain has dominated tennis for more than 2 decades, but is their reign finally coming to an end?The country has seen a drop in the number of top 100 players in both the mens and women´s game.In today´s episode we speak to US Coach Chris Lewit who has spent the past 20 years studying Spanish tennis to discuss why this is. We look at the current state and future of tennis in Spain, the impact of more international players training in the country, and why he thinks modernising training methodologies is needed to keep Spain dominant on the world stage.Topics we look into include:Generational shifts in attitudes towards tennis.Has training more international players rather than native Spaniards had an affect?The serve is often neglected in traditional Spanish training.Does this generation of players have the willingness to suffer and sacrifice like Nadal did?Does Carlos Alcaraz represent a new generation of Spanish players with a different style?The future of Spanish tennis depends on evolving methodologies and focusing on grassroots development.Links Mentioned in this episode:-Check out Chris Lewit´s book: The Secrets of Spanish TennisSupport Dan´s 15K Your Way Challenge to raise money for Alzheimer´s Society UKFollow Control the Controllables on Instagram to keep up with all the latest on the show!Find out more about SotoTennis Academy in Spain!
