## Resource

Mark Knowles joins the podcast to reflect on the Sunshine Double, and review the championship performances by both both Aryna Sabalenka and Jannik Sinner in Miami to add to their trophy collections. Knowles explains how Sabalenka has refined her game and embraced the top spot on the WTA, and commends Coco Gauff for competing her way to the final in South Beach. The Tennis Channel broadcaster points out what separated Jannik Sinner from the field in Miami, and breaks down the performances by finalist Jiri Lehecka, talented Frenchman Arthur Fils, and Alexander Zverev. Knowles also discusses his tenure coaching Jessica Pegula, and goes in depth about how working alongside fellow coach and friend Mark Merklein has created an special team dynamic. The former doubles No. 1 reveals how Pegula consistently strives to improve beyond wins and losses, and goes in depth on several topics including the American's refined serve and the challenge of competing against Sabalenka and Elena Rybakina. And Knowles explains the nuances of clay-court tennis as the season commences on the dirt with ATP action in Houston and the WTA event in Charleston. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
