Robert Cash and JJ Tracy are two rising doubles stars on the ATP Tour. They reached the semifinals of the Dallas Open, propelling their rankings inside the top 100 for the first time. College teammates at Ohio State, the chemistry between them is obvious when they play.
I chatted with them after their quarterfinal win in Dallas about college tennis and a lot more.
- The serve dominance in their quarterfinal win
- Discussing their Dallas Open tournament experience and venue appeal
- Tactical adjustments during the match
- Balancing singles and doubles in JJ's young career (I LOVE this answer!)
- The impact of college tennis on their professional paths
- Inspirations from established players like the team they had just beaten (Krajicek & Ram)
- The popularity and future of doubles
Robert and JJ are now in the ATP 250 Delray Beach Open semifinals at the time of this publishing. I would not be surprised to be chatting with these guys at bigger doubles tournaments for the next few decades.
