ATP Stars Stranded In Dubai, Alex Michelsen Joins The Show, & More

Описание: Andy Roddick and Jon Wertheim dive into a heavy week on the ATP tour, ranging from historic statistical milestones to the serious situation in Dubai.
We start with a Racket Rundown talking through the victories of Daniil Medvedev, Flavio Cobolli, and Peyton Stearns. Then we dive into breaking news out of Dubai, where over 40 ATP players and staff—including Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev—found themselves hunkered down in a hotel waiting for airspace to open.

Then, we transition to a lighthearted interview with 21-year-old American star Alex Michelsen. From his childhood bedroom, Alex talks about his transition from an "average junior" to a Top 50 pro, his decision to play right-handed despite being a natural lefty, and the experience of playing for Andre Agassi at the Laver Cup
