Podcast Episode 57: Clay Court Specialists, Return Attackers, and Predictable Servers

Episode 57 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast, with Carl Bialik of the Thirty Love podcast, reviews a week’s worth of ATP and WTA results, starting with Christian Garin and Casper Ruud, the dirtballers who contested the Houston final. We consider the decline of clay-court specialization, and the more aggressive returning style favored by up-and-coming women’s stars such as Amanda Anisimova.

Finally, we express considerable befuddlement over my recent findings about Caroline Wozniacki’s extremely predictable serves.
