Steve Smith, Dave Anderson, and Pol O’Callaghan keep things loose on episode 323, with Steve working through a stack of random notes from a weekend at the Battle of Boca. He took a van of Ave Maria players there, including a young player from Madagascar. The group also takes up the future of pro doubles, with Steve and Dave arguing that doubles players should break away and run their own circuit while keeping a place in the majors.
From the tournament, Steve pulls out lessons on backboard work, practicing after matches, charting points, skipping rope, and getting fit. He argues that juniors need to be hungry, be good teammates, and “bleed tennis.” Dave and Pol add their own takes, with Pol sharing how hitting the backboard at Campbell changed his feel for the ball.
