Talking Tennis

About this episode

In this episode, we break down Jessica Pegula’s impressive title run at the Dubai Tennis Championships, analyzing how she navigated a challenging draw to lift the trophy and what this victory means for her season moving forward. But the spotlight doesn’t stop there. With a growing number of withdrawals, mid-match retirements, and walkovers across the tour, we dive into the bigger conversation: are today’s players being pushed beyond their physical limits? From congested scheduling to mounting injury lists, we explore the toll of the modern tennis calendar — and whether the sport needs a reset. Is this just part of elite competition, or a warning sign for the future of the game? Join us for match analysis, tour insights, and a candid discussion on the physical demands of professional tennis. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
