Tennis Days With Dave Gertler

Return of the Fed, recap on Tokyo and Beijing ATP results, starring Delpo, Raonic, Nadal and Djokovic. James Crabtree and I also make some interesting observations on who's made big movements up and down the ranking in the last 12 months. All with the backdrop of us discussing our own tennis careers, and what our goals should be in the next year.

With Tokyo 3rd round being played, as well as 2nd round of Bangkok and KL, the tour is moving faster than I can keep up with, considering this episode is an intro recorded several days ago to what was supposed to be three seperate interviews for this fourth episode of the podcast. Unfortunately, due to technical and scheduling factors, these interviews have to be left out of this ep. What remains is a little taste of how things were looking a few days ago now. One for the archives! Enjoy. (It's very short)

'Tis the eve of the Men's Final in New York, and all are poised to be educated as to who is the best tennis player in the world. Surely, with the 1 and 2 seeds remaining, this match will be definitive on a whole lot of levels...does Nole have what it takes to fend off the Matador, the Beast, Rafa Nadal? Or is Rafa now the best player in the world? Take a listen to James Crabtree and me, chatting about the pro tennis tour, as well as spinning some ripping yarns about our own recent experiences on the court (or at least mine) in this new-look version of the Tennis Days Podcast, coming at you with some new tunes (my originals) recently recorded in a very good recording studio in Sydney (more of this music to be revealed in future episodes).

Hi and welcome (and thanks for listen) to the 2nd episode of TDP. This week - the US Open is on the verge of beginning. We have three Aussies in action on Day1, plus Federer AND Nadal both playing different opponents on Arthur Ashe. On the women's side we have Venus and Aga Radwanska kicking things off on Ashe. And it's only the FIRST DAY! James A. Crabtree and I chat about some of our predictions for the men's draw. Stay tuned over the course of this Slam for more TDP eps! ENJOY!

Welcome to Tennis Days with Dave Gertler, a regular podcast that attempts to tackle the big happenings on the ATP and WTA tour. This week I'm joined by co-host James A. Crabtree via Skype from Melbourne, and we chat about Federer's racquet choices, Raonic's rise to the top 10, and big wins by James Blake and David Goffin.
