The Importance of Teams - Summarizing Laver Cup

Dennis Timar and I summarize the Laver Cup and discuss the importance of teams in tennis. Teams both meaning team tennis and your team as a pro player, manager, coach, physio, and so on. As always, we get sidetracked onto other topics, like is it a Big 4 or a Big 3?

The Sportbot is a moving tennis ball machine developed by engineer and tennis player Toni Ulcar in Slovenia.

My friend Henrik Wallensten alerted me about this moving ball machine and sent me a video.

And today, the podcast is live, and you can hear Toni talk about the Sportbot, the origin story, what makes it different, and more.

Sportbot is today launching limited pre-orders for delivery in Summer 2023. You can only order via their website. The early-bird price of the Sportbot is €3550, but you only pay a 10% deposit now. The pre-order period is between October 1st to October 11th, 2022.
