PODCAST - Ivanisevic, Tiafoe, De Minaur, Carreno Busta, Martic & Rianna

GORAN IVANIŠEVIĆ ON NOVAK DJOKOVIC - ‘He’s practising even harder than when he was at the age of 22 and that’s why he’s still so good and that’s why he’s going to be even better. The will to practice, the will to improve, the will to be better is amazing you know and he’s taking care of his body. Novak is a genius and he’s a guy who always wants to improve’.VEDRAN MARTIC SPEAKS ABOUT ON-COURT COACHING - ‘It’s ok if you need to say something to a player, but still I believe a lot in concentration in the match, so for a player it’s better to concentrate and not look too much to the coach and expect some unbelievable advice’. UMBERTO RIANNA ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ITALIAN TENNIS - ‘It all started a few years ago when the board of the federation decided to invest in the kids even after their junior years and that was the turning point for us. Everybody is asking me what’s the secret, but there are no secrets, just results and when the federation decided to invest, finally we decided to give resources to be able to help the kids to grow’.FRANCES TIAFOE ON WHY LOSING IN THE US OPEN SEMI-FINAL MIGHT BE THE BEST THING THAT’S HAPPENED TO HIM - ‘It was tough because I really thought I was going to get it done but I think it was the best thing for me not to win it honestly because seeing how everyone responded and all the things I got invited to and I didn’t win it, It built that little extra hunger, so 2023 that’s the goal, to get across that line’.PABLO CARREÑO BUSTA ON LEARNING FROM RAFAEL NADAL - ‘We were partners in the Davis Cup and I learn a lot from him, but probably the consistency and to fight until the end in every moment, that’s very important. You cannot be one hundred per cent everyday, because it’s very tough to be, but Rafa continues all the time to be his best in every moment and I think that’s the best thing from him’.PLUS ALEX DE MINAUR TALKS ABOUT WHAT HE TAKES WITH HIM ON HIS TRAVELS- Show presented by Seb Lauzier- Interviews by Jill Craybas and Chris Bowers- Alex De Minaur Feature by ATP Uncovered
