## Resource

Petko and Petchey are joined for the first time by Notorious "P," Prakash "Worldwide" Amritraj in Rome and they are NOT wasting a single second. Our trio kicks things off with one of the greatest what-were-you-doing-that-day moments in tennis history between Roger and Rafa. They dissect the clay court chaos and upsets ahead of Roland Garros and shed a bright spotlight on the Grand Slam prize money controversy. Plus, a sit down with one of the most inspiring figures on the WTA Tour. Buckle up.

Who is going to outperform their ranking at Roland Garros? Who is a sell heading into Paris? And who do you want in your portfolio for the entire grass and US hardcourt summer stretch? Fan Mail — A parent writes in about her 14-year-old daughter who dominates group classes but struggles to translate her game in tournaments — the crew delivers real, experience-backed advice.…
