E33 - Craig Shapiro, Podcast Host & Tennis Rascal

Amazing chat with Craig Shapiro - tennis influencer, insider and podcaster.

Craig is the creator and host of the Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast which is my favourite tennis podcast.

I started listening to Craigs' podcast a few years ago when it was known as the Under Review Tennis Podcast. It is an excellent listen; Craig has an incredible list of great guests and is very good at interviewing them and asking interesting questions. He is not only very enthusiastic and funny but his chats are also very informative and you end up always learning something new and surprising. I highly suggest following his podcast and listening to the past episodes.

Craig has been involved in the tennis world for many years; he has had many great experiences and met many interesting people along the way.

He was the racquet technician for Andre Agassi for a few years and toured the world with him and Brad Gilbert.

Following his time on the tour, Craig got involved in TV production working on the Inside the NFL, Wimbledon and championship boxing for HBO Sports as well as working on the documentaries for the Tennis Channel.

He has produced and directed some documentaries including one on Andre Agassi which I recommend watching (https://vimeo.com/361542352), and a mini documentary on Patrick Mourotaglou (https://vimeo.com/383801368)

In our chat we talk about his life and work experiences in tennis, Indian Wells 2021, Andre Agassi, TV Broadcasting, his podcast and tennis podcasting, his recently launched Craig Shapiro Tennis Podcast Tennis Academy which is mostly happening in his mind and cookies with his face!
