We've got all the tennis you can handle on this week's episode of Inside-In, as esteemed commentator Mark Petchey returns to the podcast to recap title victories for Tommy Paul & Ugo Humbert on the ATP. Petchey also explains what propelled Elena Rybakina to a second title in 2024, why Naomi Osaka is already back at a high level, and the comfort that Iga Swiatek has in the Middle East events. And you won't want to miss Petchey's strong feelings on why Carlos Alcaraz has no need to panic, and why Andy Murray has earned the right to play as long as he desires. And then journalist and commentator Chris Bowers makes his Inside-In debut, discussing how his love affair with the sport of tennis began and why the history of the game should be revered and studied. Bowers details what he learned from writing biographies on Novak Djokovic & Roger Federer, his thoughts on the game in it's current form, and his experience as the host of "TennisWorthy" a podcast presented by the International Hall of Fame. It's an enlightening chat with a man who's covered the game for over 30 years, and considers himself a citizen of the world. Hosted by Mitch Michals. Learn more about your ad choices.
