Thai the Enigma
Lots to discuss with Thai-Son Kwiatkowski on the eve of the stacked Indian Wells Challenger. He won Newport Beach earlier this year after a difficult 2019 mentally. How did he turn it around.
Also, he immediately went to Japan after winning that tile, and not for an individual event. Find out why.
