PODCAST - Federer, Sampras, Agassi, Borg, McEnroe, Hewitt & Many More

LARS CHRISTENSEN ON THE IMPORTANCE OF STATISTICS - ‘I’ve been doing it from the very beginning, even when he was ten and in the beginning it was about how many unforced errors, how many forced and winners he would do in a match and specifically looking at forehands and backhands and now getting older it’s more about serve and return and serve plus one and return plus one, so it’s getting more specific but I’ve kept the statistics always and I always compare during the year’.ROB MORGAN ON GOAL-SETTING - 'The first thing I always do with a player is sit down and work out what’s the goal, what’s the vision, what does it look like and where do we want to be by the end of the year, so I think sharing a vision is a massive part of coaching. Painting a picture regularly to a player is vital’.ALEX MOLCAN ON LEARNING FROM WATCHING NOVAK DJOKOVIC - ‘Playing against Djokovic showed me it’s not about playing crazy fast or trying to be extremely aggressive, it’s about the head and you know it looks like Djokovic is playing chess. It was a really incredible experience, I learned a lot from it, I saw how maybe I can play, not exactly, but some moves, how he’s thinking, I was re-watching this match a lot and yes, the experience was amazing, it was a good school for me’.SERGIY STAKHOVSKY ON THE WAR IN UKRAINE AND EXPERIENCING OTHER PARTS OF EUROPE - ‘I’m alive, the family is safe, they are in Budapest, they are warm and fed, they go to school, so I think everything is good with them. We all hope we are ok, but unfortunately we don’t know that, it’s unprecedented times, it’s a war, so everybody is trying to live through it to the standards they can. Coming here to Turin after Kyiv has been hit multiple times, coming to a city where it’s quiet and peaceful and people are having fun on the tennis court and cheering for tennis, it’s different’.ROGER FEDERER ON SAYING GOODBYE TO COMPETITIVE TENNIS - ‘I’ve definitely given I feel like everything and more to my career than what I could have done. I got to enjoy and learn what hard work and dedication means, so for me, I don’t know how much more I could have given, could have tried, I tried I feel a lot of different things, but I feel I’m old enough now to call it a day and I feel really good about it.PLUS MCENROE, BORG, SAMPRAS, AGASSI, HEWITT AND MANY MORE PICK OUT THE FAVOURITE MOMENTS FROM THEIR CAREERS-Show presented by Seb Lauzier-Interviews by Jill Craybas and Chris Bowers-Features by ATP Uncovered
