The last two weeks I’ve leveraged A.I to gauge it’s effectiveness to capabilities in sharing data to more precisely pulling a part key topics explored throughout individual episodes of Beyond Top 10 Tennis to give you a better glimpse or snapshot of what is essentially more than 10,000 words into an easy to digest format. It has been fun but also a lot of work. A.I definitely has its advantages but behind the scenes both of those articles were more arduous to time-consuming than I’d anticipated. And more often than… Read more: From A.I to Tennis Players on Fire, Final Seasons, Top 4 on the WTA and ATP tours & the G.O.A.T Data often Ignored

As the world’s leading scientist and elite performance coach across the tennis landscape, my life’s work has been an unwavering pursuit to unlock the secrets behind developing and sustaining a top 10 tennis ranking among other achievements i.e. Grand Slam success. Through over two decades of research, data analysis, and working with athletes across the globe, I have identified technical rulers as one of the critical lynchpins separating the elite echelon from the rest of the field. This fundamental principle was brought into sharp focus during the latest episode of… Read more: This Week’s Episode with a Twist: Unlocking Tennis Player Autonomy as the Story[line] in Madrid

The onslaught of the game to the highs and lows and everything in between is the reality of what a tennis player signs up for with the sheer driver of love pulling and pushing them all the way. It’s a hard truth but equally a beautiful reality when performance merges with this passion and equates with Grand Slam success. It’s the pinnacle of play and a heart filled with desire — bursting at the seams to lift that elusive trophy. Whether it be once, twice or twenty times more, the truth is forever etched in a player’s… Read more: For the Love of the Game: A [true] Tennis Player’s Reality

This week on Beyond Top 10 Tennis featured the Billie Jean King Cup through to Monte Carlo and Nadal’s return to Barcelona with a significant emphasis on some key ranking progressions and regressions.

You don’t get to be at the Top of the game as its leading scientist and authority… Read more: Tennis Rankings and How to stay on track towards the Top of the Game

A topic that is probably as old as it is has been asked — for decades and then some more. Then add a little extra. A question that essentially remains the catalyst from my playing days — forever getting injured from my earlier years before my later transition into coaching — how to help tennis players to not get injured, before pushing it a little further — a Masters in this very area before eventually tackling my PhD.
