Casper Ruud on Overachieving and Evolving To Compete With The Best + Chris Oddo on Rybakina vs. Sabalenka and The Men's Australian Open Semifinals
Casper Ruud joins the podcast for a chat about his quest to continue chasing the best players in the game, the pride he takes in what he has already accomplished in his terrific career. The former World No. 2 dives into the need to evolve at the top of the sport, how he prioritized his return to the court in 2026, and the steps it took to achieve accolades that make him the most accomplished Norwegian tennis player in history.
And then it's time to preview the business end of the Australian Open with Chris Oddo, journalist for Tennis Now. Oddo dives into Aryna Sabalenka's brilliance on the hard courts, and Elena Rybakina's elite level tennis as she returns to a major final. The writer also shares his thoughts on Novak Djokovic's fortunate route to the semifinals, Jannik Sinner's efficiency, and why Carlos Alcaraz continues to dazzle as he looks to complete the career-slam in Melbourne. Oddo wraps up the show by giving his predictions on Alcaraz's next test with Alexander Zverev, Djokovic's chances vs. Sinner, and what to expect in an epic women's final between Sabalenka and Rybakina. Hosted by Mitch Michals.
