The 2023 US Open didn´t disappoint as we saw Coco Gauff win her first Grand Slam title, and Novak Djokovic collect his record-equalling 24th!

It was also an incredible fortnight for our very own CTC Host Dan Kiernan who guided his players to not one, but two doubles titles!

CTC regular Gaby Dabrowski and her partner Erin Routliffe won the Women´s doubles title, while Harri Heliövaara and Anna Danilina won the Mixed Doubles after only meeting at the sign-in desk the week before.

Gaby reunites with Dan for our US Open Review to tell us about her amazing 2 weeks in New York. Also returning to our US Open Panel is:-

Denmark´s Davis Cup Caption Freddie NielsenS&C Coach to Liam Broady, Dan Evans & Sorana Mihaela Cîrstea, Kieron VorsterGB´s Emily Webley-Smith who has been on the women´s tour for more than 20 years. 

We look into many topics including:-

Coco Gauff´s amazing American summer on the back of her new player coach relationship with Brad Gilbert.The influence (or not) of courtside coaching. Are players becoming too dependent on their coaches?Should the Slams be broadcasting what the coaches are saying to players and private moments of the players?What drives Djokovic to keep going?The all-British Men´s wheelchair final between Alfie Hewitt and Gordon Reid

And so much more! Enjoy!

Mentioned in this episode:

Join us for our First Live Show in London!

Control the Controllables is coming to London! We´re hosting our first LIVE SHOW on Friday 19th April 2024.

Join CTC Host Dan Kiernan and special guests as they debate one of the hottest topics in tennis right now: Is the new ‘Elite Tour’ good for tennis?

The new tour being proposed by the Grand Slams would see only the top 96 players compete in a reduced number of tournaments for an exponential rise in prize money.

Join us at Tileyard in London, as we discuss the biggest potential shake up we've ever seen in tennis, and what it means for those of us working in the sport.

Our amazing panel on the night will be:-
John Morris - Tennis super-agent at the heart of these discussions
Freddie Nielsen - 2012 Wimbledon doubles champion and Danish Davis Cup captain
Gaby Dabrowski - 2023 US Open champion and WTA Board Member
Calvin Betton - ATP doubles coach

If you can’t join us in person, don’t worry, you can still follow online live on the night and ask your questions directly to Dan and the panel.
