Pam Shriver on Alcaraz's Roland Garros Absence, The Depth of The Women's Game, and Developing a Performance Mindset

Pam Shriver joins the podcast for an in depth conversation about the state of the current game, and the latest chapter in her tennis life. The Hall of Famer reacts to the news that Carlos Alcaraz will not defend his Roland Garros title, and discusses the impact it will have on Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev. Shriver also breaks down several rising talents including Arthur Fils and Rafael Jodar, and explains why American Ben Shelton is built for the long-haul with his father Bryan guiding his career. Shriver also shares her thoughts on the WTA, and the ultra consistency of World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka. The commentator discusses Elena Rybakina's all-time great serve, Iga Swiatek's attempt to reset her clay court game, and Naomi Osaka's resurgence. And Shriver explains why becoming a volunteer college coach has been extremely fulfilling, as has her work for Yonex in their new "Mindset Performance Program." Hosted by Mitch Michals.
