Description
French tennis player and presenter Alize Lim returns to the show to discuss several intersting stories in the world of tennis, including Naomi Osaka's decision to making a coaching change. Lim examines the potential pairing between Osaka and coach Patrick Mouratoglou, and looks at world #1 Jannik Sinner's hiring of two former members of Novak Djokovic's team. She also covers a wide range of topics including Novak Djokovic's priorities, a few first time title winners on the WTA tour, the 2024 Laver Cup, and what the future holds for Rafael Nadal.
