Targeting Top 100 with Taro Daniel

Behind the Racquet Pod ·

2019/11/04

While Noah hopped down to Charlottesville to join Mike for some commentary, he also had a chance for the podcast to sit down with Taro Daniel. Taro entered the week just outside of the top 100, and reaching that mark carries significant weight for many players, especially with direct entry to the Australian Open guaranteed if you make it. Also, Mike and Noah stayed in the same house for the week, with predictably awful results. Have a listen, and then reach out and let @noahrubin33 and @mikectennis
