  • Poor Novak?

    Don’t be apologists for poor Novak. You have to be vaccinated to play in Australia and he ran more than one scam in the lead up to the tournament.

Yes, possibly Mira Andreeva or Belinda Bencic could win their first Grand Slam title this year.
Episode 1 - Interview with Kayla Cross
Q: What's the hardest part of being a professional tennis player?
The challenging part would be, we don't really have an off season...it is a lot, you know, you are playing a lot of weeks in a row and it's hard on your body and mental health.
Episode 1 - Interview with Kayla Cross
Q: What do you find the most rewarding part of being a professional tennis player?

Episode 1 - Interview with Kayla Cross
Q: What is the biggest difference you notice if you're getting up against someone who's top 150, top 100 versus maybe that 200 to 300 range?
I think it's honestly, most of it's like the consistency part. At the top level, if you slip up, you lose a lot of momentum and the top players will just grab it and run with it.
