Andy Roddick pulls back the curtain on one of the most overlooked parts of pro tennis—the brutal, nonstop travel that defines life on tour—breaking down the “gritty” logistics and why 95% of players aren’t flying private. He reflects on a 2004 season that saw him rack up over 100,000 miles—enough to circle the globe 4 times—while explaining how constant travel impacts performance and preparation. Roddick mixes insight with stories you won’t hear in a post-match interview, from nearly losing his passport in Russia to a $1,000 bet with Sam Querrey involving a “bull dance” after a match against Rafael Nadal. Fans also get a look at the details behind the scenes, including racket tension at altitude, gear routines, and the real meaning behind his infamous “FIGJAM” Reebok line.

During the fan Q&A segment, Kim reflects on the surprising "post-Slam" loneliness she felt after her 2005 US Open victory and offers tactical advice on overcoming first-round jitters through constant foot movement. The discussion dives into the high-stakes world of tennis media as Blair explains the decision-making process behind "spicy" on-court interviews, while Kim recounts the comical origin of her legendary doubles partnership with Ai Sugiyama. Closing on a personal note, Kim shares the story of when her sons realized she was a famous tennis player.

4-time Grand Slam Champion Kim Clijsters sits down with Roland Garros champion and Italian tennis icon Francesca Schiavone for a candid conversation about life on and off the tour. They revisit their years on the circuit: the intense training, the competitiveness, and the loneliness of tennis. Francesca also shares her 2019 cancer diagnosis, how her discipline as an athlete helped her through chemotherapy, and the role her family, wife, and close friend Flavia Pennetta played in her recovery. Today, Schiavone is fully active in the game, running her Schiavone Team Lab academy near Milan and coaching 18-year-old one-handed backhand talent Lilli Tagger, who she believes has Grand Slam potential. 

Kim also discusses her Roland Garros favorites for 2026, making a strong case for why Rybakina belongs in the conversation alongside Sabalenka and Coco Gauff. She breaks down Ben Shelton's serve variety and why it's becoming a weapon even on clay, and reacts to a 19-year-old qualifier stunning everyone at her very first WTA tour event.

Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim dive into a heavy week on the ATP tour, ranging from historic statistical milestones to the serious situation in Dubai.

We start with a Racket Rundown talking through the victories of Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, and Peyton Stearns. Then we dive into breaking news out of Dubai, where over 40 ATP players and staff—including Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev—found themselves hunkered down in a hotel waiting for airspace to open.

Then, we transition to a lighthearted interview with 21-year-old American star Alex Michelsen. From his childhood bedroom, Alex talks about his transition from an "average junior" to a Top 50 pro, his decision to play right-handed despite being a natural lefty, and the experience of playing for Andre Agassi at the Laver Cup
