ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Marc Polmans is now ranked inside the top 60 in doubles after making the Australian Open doubles final but he still sees himself as a singles player.
In this episode, we talk about the reality of balancing singles ambition with doubles opportunity, and how one Grand Slam run can shift your season financially, mentally, and strategically.
Marc shares:
- From not being in the draw to Aussie Open finalist
- The difference between Futures and Challenger level
- Why ranking points at Slams change everything
- His recent racket switch from the Pure Drive to the Pure Aero and how it compares to Wilson’s “Python” prototype
- Whether he’d choose college tennis if starting again today
- And why the Functional Tennis Saber is useful for doubles players
An honest look at the grind of pro tennis and the career decisions players constantly face.
Enjoy
