Also: Hey Jonny, is college tennis in some trouble, or this too shall pass??

"Hey Dave, is college tennis currently under siege?"

Doctor Loehr was a true pioneer, and he paved the way for the industry to flourish. RIP, Doc. You were loved by many!

Also, Ethan Quinn made some headlines of his own in Phoenix, winning an all-American final, a thriller vs a very entertaining Marcos Giron. 

Also, the Sunshine Double has been stretched to a standing Triple, as the Arizona Tennis Classic is very high level. Just ask Annacone, he'll tell you himself!

Also, Tennis in Paradise at Indian Wells is right around the corner, but don't sleep on Arizona!  The ATC field is LOADED!

Also...Novak's still hanging tough. And Eliot Spizzirri gets some just due love!

Also, HOW MANY American men in the top 150?

Also...Sabalenka vs Kygrios ? A modern-day King vs Riggs??  Yep, it's gonna happen, so buckle up!

Also, a couple of Steve Denton's A&M boys (Vacherot and Rinderknecht) shake things up in Shaghai, and the American women are making more noise than ever!

Rounding out an amazing WORLD RACQUETS CONFERENCE, Brian Dillman, Andy Zodin and headliner Mats Wilander discussed the concept of "re branding" and how Mats has done so much of that during his Hall of Fame career.

And, Carlitos is now the king, as he and Jannik have a death-grip on men's tennis.

Also, Jonny made a pretty sweet run at The Open in '83.Lost 3rd round to Lendl but almost played Nastase. Ok Jonny...do tell!

And...Venus Williams follows in the footsteps of the great George Foreman, coming out of retirement at 45, to show that some great champions are simply ageless.

Also, this "new two" men's rivalry is now officially on fire, with Sinner the winner, and now they've won 7 straight!

And...quick, who's the last guy NOT named Alcaraz or Sinner to win a major? Took you a second there, didn't it?

Also...Coco's brand appeal is skyrocketing, as she takes down the great Sabalenka, in a ladies final that wasn't too shabby in its own right

And..."hey Mats, how do you enjoy being treated like tennis royalty while in Europe?"

And..."hey Jonny, if Mats doesn't get tripped up by Chesnokov in the quarters in '89, is it possible, perhaps even PROBABLE that Chang doesn't win that lone major?"

And, Racquet Sports Professionals Association (RSPA) CEO Brian Dillman joins the show to talk about the plans going forward for the former USPTA. 

And, "hey Jonny, what's with this Colton Smith?"

On March 15th, AZ sat down with Andre Agassi at Phoenix Country Club during Jonny's Arizona Tennis Classic (ATP Challenger), for 30 minutes of vintage Andre.

Also, are doubles specialists on the ropes? And is Mirra Andreeva on her way to #1?

Also, Mats on Mirra and Jonny on the top 10 American men of all time. A couple of curious choices to be sure!

Also, the US Open is making some pretty bold changes to the mixed doubles event, and we happen to think it'll be pretty good for the fans!

Also, winner winner, Jannik Sinner!

Also...does time in the booth possibly give us a "kinder, gentler" version of Nick Kygrios? We're about to find out!

Also, "hey Jimmy, what are the Americans to do in '25, to make major singles titles a little more likely?"

And...good on ya, Taylor Fritz. Way to go, Coco!

Also, Jonny talks about several players that quietly exceeded expectations in 2024. Although maybe in some cases not as quietly as others!

Also, Lighten up, Frances!! Tiafoe goes uncharacteristically ballistic in Shanghai. A blip or a concern?

Plus, while we're at it, let's not just gloss over the Davis Cup. The finals will be upon us soon. Rafa's last stand? We shall see.

Also, Aryna Sabalenka also handled plenty of adversity in 2024. How big is THIS title for her?

Also, Jonny is a happy camper, as the American men have 5 players in the top 20, for the first time in 27 years!

And...Jonny gives some love to his man the Djoker, who's now career Super-Slam is a Golden cherry on top!

Also...Alcaraz teaming with Nadal in Paris?? We're suddenly all-in on Olympics men's doubles!

And...an exclusive with Texas Longhorn great, Eliot Spizzirri. You can't help but root for this kid. He is special.

And...Johnny Mac getting a little "makeup blowback"? Is he a bit over the line, or do people just need to get a grip? Honorable mention to Jasmine for her double-final.

AZ and Jonny hold the fort, while Mats takes a very scenic route back to Paris.

Also, did we have the match of the year in women's tennis, at Madrid?

Also, how about a fantasy Davis Cup tie, featuring some of Spain's best ever vs the great Swedes of all-time. I promise you Mats and Alex had some serious fun with this one!

Also, new coach for Novak?? Mats has some thoughts on who and why. AND, who has more "in-game impact", singles coaches or doubles coaches?

Also, Cracked Racquets’ Alex Gruskin brings his high energy, youthful charm to the proceedings, and Mats talks about a nerve-racking experience on the stage at Indian Wells. Carlos & Iga roll in the garden, and Nuno defends his title.

Plus….KickServeRocks, and Jonny’s hot list. Lots to get to, as we all descend on the desert!

And what about the state of men's pro doubles? The new #1 is a great guy and great player, but he's 43 years young!

And, Mats, Jonny, and our rockstar Kevin Cronin all weigh in with some fun thoughts about where we are in '24!

Also, we pay tribute to a legend. Coach Dave Snyder was one of the greats in Texas Longhorn history, and meant the world to Jonny, AZ, and thousands more whose lives he touched over an incredible life in tennis.

And Mats does a nice rendition of Knockin' on Heaven's Door, only to be complimented later for his great job on Stairway to Heaven!! Oh well, can't win 'em all.

And Ben Shelton, Grigor, and Sebbie get some love this week, too. Oh, and we got a REAL rock star joining the show. This thing just keeps getting better!

Also, John Embree calls it a career as USPTA CEO, and what a run he had! Plus, "hey Mats, when you look in the mirror for the first time after reaching #1 in the world, what and who do you see"?

Also: Ben Shelton, the phone thing, really? Maddie Keys, as tough a loss as a player can have. Can she bounce back stronger?

And...nice having 2 Americans in the top 10 in both men's and women's tennis, as the US Open looms large. Looks like BG and Coco are a pretty nice mix!

Also, our sport loses a legend, as we pay tribute to a true tennis industry giant, the late great Billy Freer.

Also, "hey Mats, why could you win the Australian on grass (twice), but never make a final at the big W? French hangover, or what?

And how about Austin Krajicek, single-handedly carrying US men's tennis, with a French Doubles Championship. And now...like the 2 Jokers...he's #1 in the world!

Also, what's your dream French final, now that Rafa has had to break our hearts? And, we pay tribute to Davo, as the Golden Age Aussies lose one of their brothers.

Also, we pay tribute to one of LA's finest. Tony Graham packed a lot of life into 66 years. He will be remembered fondly!

Former Notre Dame star, Andy Zurcher fills us in on a story of incredible inspiration and adversity with a college teammate who faces unimaginable challenges.

And you definitely want to listen to the whole thing, because the end of the show is EPIC!!

Meanwhile over in Phoenix, youth was served, as Nuno Borges nips Sascha Schevchenko in a field that included Berrettini, Monfils, and Schwartzman. And then there's Rajeev Ram. Oh yes, we definitely like him!!

Tennis in paradise may not have The Djoker or Rafa, but Mats Wilander thinks the Americans have plenty to offer the Indian Wells crowds, who have high expectations, and rightfully so.

Also, we examine what players are on the brink of breaking through, as '23 moves toward tennis in paradise.

Americans came out on fire, but fizzled in week 2. Tommy Paul and Ben Shelton showed out bigtime!

Interesting look at the US Davis Cup situation, AND do several signs point to Jessie Pegula making a run down under?

Moments of the year, on the '22 finale of KickServeRadio.com. Thank you Ken Solomon and Tennis Channel. Our third year with TCPN is in the books!!

Djoker takes Tour Finals, and Canada get the Davis Cup. Some interesting lineup decisions, worth taking a look at.

Caroline Garcia serves her way to a title as big as Texas, while Holger Rune grinds his way to a Paris win for ages!

In this candid, very emotional interview, he talks of the episode, and all that has transpired since. 

Also...was is it the rigors fame (or maybe just Johnny Mac's net game) that caused Bjorn Borg to shut it down as early as he did? You can bet your last racquet that Mats has some interesting insights on that!!

It was an epic cherry on top of one of the great sports careers of all time. "It was perfect!"

Are the big three suddenly in the rear view? This generation of 2020-somethings definitely seems to mean business!

What IS agreed upon is that the action will be hot, and the Americans should definitely be in the mix, down the stretch!

Who are some of the other current "popcorn match" players that are must-see at the US Open? Who's hot and who's not? We'll give you our list right here!

Enjoy a spirited tennis-history lesson that will definitely take you back!

And how could it be possible that the country that was banned, ended up better off than had they played? Wait, what???

Who would've thought in 2022, that the top two seeds in the men's singles at a major, would both be on their way to receiving an AARP card!

And Mats enjoys his 40th, with some great on-court mic work, and a nice place on finals weekend!

And suddenly the women’s game has a dominant force, who simply has forgotten how to lose. Can Iga Swiatek win Frenchy #2??

And wait til you hear what TC's main man has in store for fans going forward. Lots and lots to look forward to!

Soon, Tennis Channel will celebrate a BIG anniversary for our main man Mats. Here's a little preview on that!

And in Arizona, Denis Kudla bags the double in incredibly impressive fashion. As far as the Carvana Arizona Tennis Classic was concerned, great job Jonny!!

Leyla Fernandez has a potential career-changing win in Monterrey, and tennis in paradise is not limited to Indian Wells. Arizona has a field of dreams for Jonny Levine!

Serena may not be far behind del Po, and Roger may not be too far behind her. '22 just might be a very "end of an era" kinda year.

And then there's Ashleigh Barty! Number 1 in the world, number 1 in our hearts, In Aussie for the ages! Talk about doing your country proud. Cheers, Ash!!

International incidents, covid, and a potential changing of the guard are all part of the story, as tennis moves into '22 with far more questions than answers.

And how about 2021? We've got the BEST OF 5 of the top tennis stories of the year! It's the '21 season finale of KickServeRadio.com

The WTA, lead by Steve Simon (& Serena, for that matter) seem to mean business, as it relates to the safety and whereabouts of Peng Shuai.

The 2021 Tennis Alumni Reunion brought many generations together to celebrate the best of times, and Longhorn pride was in strong supply November 12th and 13th.

The team at KickServeRadio.com joins the entire tennis community as we wish Murphy Jensen a quick and full recovery from a serious health development he endured in recent days.

What do Federer fans have to be so sad about?

UNTOLD, the Netflix documentary on Mardy Fish is a absolute must see, and here's why!

These two teens, Emma and Leyla will be inextricably linked to one another in tennis history, as well they should be. The question is, can this continue? We certainly hope so!!

No Roger, no Rafa, so it's a slam dunk for Novak, right? Not so fast, says the guy that should've won it last year!

Tennis has had a tough year, and we pay tribute to yet two more that are gone too soon.  Mike DePalmer, Jr. and Mark Turpin. RIP, gentlemen.

Hey Mats, why no Olympics for YOU in 1988?

With all the slipping and sliding, might The Championships ever consider synthetic? Jonny was outraged by the mere thought of it!

Tennis lost a great player, and close friend to many in our sport, Bill Scanlon. The Dallas, Texas Golden Boy will forever be immortal in tennis, doing something no other man has done, or likely will ever do again.

Mats, Jonny, and AZ examine how much of this clay-court season we can use to figure whether or not Rafa is still invincible at RG, and has Ash Barty proven on the dirt that she truly is #1 on the planet?

Also, Mats and AZ marvel at how Nadal leads a seemingly ageless generation at Barcelona. Don Pompan joins AZ and Jonny to talk about a tennis parent experience that is definitely not the norm!
