Episode 24 of the Tennis Abstract Podcast<\/a>, with\u00a0Carl Bialik of the Thirty Love podcast<\/a>, is all about clay. We use last week’s results as a starting point, talking up the runs of Frances Tiafoe, Alexander Zverev, Hyeon Chung, Elise Mertens, and Mihaela Buzarnescu, and discuss the various factors–from teenage training to split-second anticipation–that translate into better results on dirt.<\/p>\n
