Andrea Petkovic is joined by Charleston’s own Alison Riske-Amritraj as they discuss the annual transition from the hard courts to the clay. The hosts talk about their own struggles - and successes - on the ‘dirt’ and which players benefit most on both the European red clay and the less common ‘green’ version played in the USA. Special guest Jessica Pegula joins the show and explains why winning the Credit One Charleston Open title in 2025 was one of her biggest goals. Pegula discusses why ‘staying true to herself’ was something she had to learn as she climbed the ranks on the WTA Tour. She also talks about THE PLAYERS BOX podcast she hosts with Madison Keys, Jennifer Brady, and Desirae Krawczyk, and even shares why she misses arguing with umpires! The episode wraps up with viewer fanmail, including a video submission from a familiar face who’s never been to Charleston and wants advice on what to do there. Then Petko and Ali give their ‘Quarter Season Awards’ to their favorite players and moments from the start of the 2026 Tennis Season.
