## Resource

The Athletic's Charlie Eccleshare joins the podcast for a wide-ranging topic of the pro game, and to discuss how he became one of the prominent journalists covering tennis. Eccleshare reacts to the news of Carlos Alcaraz's wrist injury and what it means for both the Spaniard and the ATP's top players who can make their move on the clay. The senior writer also recaps the titles won by Arthur Fils and Ben Shelton, and analyzes whether Joao Fonseca, Rafael Jodar or other young players can seize the moment on the dirt. Eccleshare also weighs in on Elena Rybakina's victory in Stuttgart, and examines Aryna Sabalenka's schedule as she aims for her first Roland Garros title. The journalist discusses Iga Swiatek's potential to reclaim her throne in Paris, and gives out his list of contenders as clay season continues. And Eccleshare dives into several topics he's written extensively about, such as tennis player "wearables" and the validity of the underarm serve. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
