PODCAST - Djokovic Wins Seventh Wimbledon Title

from ATP Tennis Radio Podcast

On this week's show...JOHN NEWCOMBE ON NICK KYRGIOS - ‘I can’t speak for a lot of the other guys, but the ones I do talk to reasonably regularly, Roy Emerson, Rod Laver and Tony Roche and all that, we all think his tennis is great, never criticise his tennis at all, but it’s just sometimes when he hasn’t behaved great on the court, we’ve felt that not only has he let himself down but the image of Australian tennis gets let down a little bit, but no one certainly has been critical of his tennis and his ability as a great young sportsman. He’s doing it his way and maybe one or two guys have come out and been ultra-critical of him, but that’s just how life is’.JOHN NEWCOMBE ON DOUBLES - ‘When you talk about doubles you’re bringing up something that’s a bit of a sore point with me because it’s just a pity to see none of the top payers playing in doubles. I understand best of five sets the top players don’t want to play, but as far as doubles goes, I’d like to see them having to play more doubles in the regular tournaments where it’s two out of three sets’.JOHN NEWCOMBE ON LLEYTON HEWITT’S INDUCTION INTO THE INTERNATIONAL TENNIS HALLL OF FAME - ‘When he was 14 he came to my tennis ranch in Texas and the first week he came up to me and said he’d like to interview me for a school essay and he had 25 questions all written out, very professional and we did the interview and it was little over a year later that we picked him for the Davis Cup team. He came out of the blocks in the first match against Todd Martin who was number nine in the world and he blew him away. It was just a joy to sit on the side of the court, of course he had nerves, but the more nervous he got, the better he played’.FACUNDO LAGONES ON WORKING WITH CAMERON NORRIE - ‘One of Cam’s biggest changes is admitting mistakes and realising them and having honest conversations about what happened in the matches or outside the court and being humble enough to recognise what he needed to work on and not just say it and then forget about it. He is really good at working on things that make him better and not making excuses is giving a big edge over most other players because it’s pretty common to make excuses here on tour and not fix what’s wrong’.PLUS MEKTIC AND PAVIC TAKE OUR GRASS COURT QUIZ-Podcast presented by Chris Bowers, Jill Craybas and Peter Marcato-Interviews by Chris Bowers and Candy Reid-Feature by ATP Uncovered and Kate Flory
