## Resource

Benjamin Kittay (ATP doubles #107) joins the show to discuss his rise through the doubles ranks and his journey through tennis. We talk his run to the finals at Delray Beach, how he trains, how college tennis helped to prepare him for the next step to the pros, and how he's risen from #1700 in the world to #107 in just nine months. We also discuss the shot heard round the tennis world at the Miami Open. He also gives a small shoutout to Alex Gruskin's tennis skills, and creates a new segment that we have dubbed "Ask the host."
