<description>&lt;p&gt;After an elite junior career Caty McNally blasted onto the pro tennis scene in 2019, where she played Serena Williams tough in the 2nd round night session at the US Open.

She is now the world #81 and poised to make some noise in 2026.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Caty was remarkably forthcoming in our conversation, we discussed all of the hot button topics of the day, and she painted a very interesting picture of what life for a young American on tour is like.

Caty McNally Talks Tennis with Craig Shapiro

<description>&lt;p&gt;Almost 2 years ago to the day Dan Evans and I chatted via Zoom- I was in New York, he in Stockholm. He was ranked around 35 in the world, getting ready to play the Swedish Open. That summer he won Washington, got to a career high 21, and had dazzled the tennis community with his play against Carlitos Alcaraz at the US Open and then again in China. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Since that moment he has faced multiple injuries, incredibly difficult draws, and the mere reality of the pro tennis tour, where week in and week out every player, on any given day, is a threat. But he's also had incredible moments mixed into this challenging stretch including a remarkably fun ride in the Paris Olympics with Andy Murray, an epic win in the longest match in US Open history, and just this past grass court season, wins over Tiafoe and Tommy Paul in consecutive weeks. Dan and I had an earnest chat, and he pulled no punches. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;By going back in time we hit many of the tour's water cooler topics; the quality of this generation, ball quality, surface speeds and the absolute lack of stylistic variety amongst his peers. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recorded 10.14 Released 10.16&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="shaptennispod.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;The Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast&lt;/a&gt; is Powered By &lt;a href="goldentickettennis.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;Golden Ticket Tennis &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.

2025 US Open Mega Special With Brad Gilbert 

<description>&lt;p&gt;Nenad Zimonjic was summoned to the Djokovic camp before Monte Carlo in 2024, and was on his bag when he won his Olympic gold in Paris, but that's just a portion of Nenad's incredible story. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Born and raised in Belgrade, Nenad was saddled with a worthless passport because of war, that hindered his pro tennis career considerably. He persevered, and became the best doubles player in the world winning 8 majors and 54 tournaments, a Serbian Davis Cupper, a mentor to the younger Serbs Djokovic and Tipsarevic, and all in all lived an incredible life in tennis. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Nenad and I chatted shortly after Novak defeated Alex de Minaur at Wimbledon, and it was a tremendous chat. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recorded 7.7 Released 7. 21&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="shaptennispod.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;The Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast&lt;/a&gt; is Powered by &lt;a href="goldentickettennis.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"&gt;The Golden Ticket&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;hr&gt;&lt;p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'&gt; Hosted on Acast.
