    First of Jonathan excellent podcast. Love the insights you and your guest’s give, especially for doubles.

    Yes even from Mr Ram. (As you can guess from my handle I’m a former Umpire…and he could be a handful at times)

  • Great Episode!

    This latest episode is super helpful for club players. Anytime a guest says incessantly “ that’s a great question “ it’s telling. I felt like 80% of the questions dealt with things that can 100% impact my club matches. Well done!!

  • Great tennis content

    This is my favorite tennis podcast by far. Almost all of the guests that Jonathan brings on the show have something helpful listeners can learn from. As a high school tennis coach I can’t count how many of the tips I’ve heard in this podcast that I have shared with my players.

  • The gift that keeps on giving

    This is one of the few podcasts where I can regularly re-listen to episodes and continue to get value. Jonathan does a great job of keeping the listener in mind while interviewing guests. Because of this, the information is valuable and timeless. And that final question of each episode never disappoints. Thanks for this gem Coach Stokke.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Difference Between "Safe" And "Familiar"
Q: How do you use support a new doubles partner while you're playing?
He recommends talking before the match and asking what kind of support the partner wants, since some players prefer encouragement while others want tactical advice or humor.
The Difference Between "Safe" And "Familiar"
Q: Opponents have a huge serve. My partner and I are not returning in at all.
Stokke recommends standing farther behind the baseline to give the returner more time. If necessary, shorten the swing or block the return with slice, rather than continuing to miss while worrying about giving up court position.
Live Mailbag and 3 Things I learned At The US Open
Q: What is something pros playing at the US Open are doing that recreational players should not emulate?
Pros still miss more often than they make, and their decisions under pressure—like shot selection and depth—are what separate them; beginners should focus on consistency, placement, and reading the court rather than chasing every flashy shot.
Marc Polmans: AO Men's Doubles Finalist And Wimbledon Mixed Doubles Finalist
Q: What are the toughest parts of the transition from singles to doubles?
Marc cites net sharpness, quick reflexes, and accurate positioning at the net as the primary challenges, along with learning to operate from the center of the court and reading partner dynamics.
Robert Cash: How he reached the semis of the US Open at age 24
Q: How did your college experience prepare you for the pro tour?
Cash argues that the level in college is very high and weekly competition against top teams built readiness, with practice against strong players helping him adjust to the pro level more smoothly than expected.
