Love All with Kim Clijsters

4x Grand Slam champion Kim Clijsters and tennis reporter Blair Henley are joined by WTA pro and model Carson Branstine to discuss the realities of life on tour outside the top 100. Carson, currently recovering from a torn labrum, opens up about funding her career without a coach or physio, her viral TikTok calling out player welfare failures, and how she balances tennis with modeling and a new finance venture. Kim adds perspective from her time on the WTA board and her own battles with the tour's injury fine system.  Kim and Blair also break down a busy week in Rome: Sorana Cirstea beating Sabalenka at 36 years old and reconsidering her retirement and Coco Gauff's admission of off-court struggles. They also weigh in on Project Red Eye, the player-led push for greater Grand Slam revenue sharing, and the story of Ukrainian player Oleksandra Oliynykova, who is using her platform to raise funds for the Ukrainian military. Kim closes with a tactical breakdown of Iga Swiatek's backhand slice, explaining why it has become one of the most effective weapons on tour heading into Roland Garros. Welcome to Love All!
