It's her first main draw appearance at the Open since 2015. And she's really, truly, been through a lot this last year. This is her story of how she's found new perspective, fought through covid, self doubt, and is allowing Jamie Loeb to be Jamie Loeb.\n\nThis is the Behind the Racquet Pod\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 31 August 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Behind the Racquet with Paolo Lorenzi<\/span><\/td><\/tr>Mike here: There are few people that I respect more than Paolo Lorenzi. When I heard that he had made his decision to retire last week here in New York, I can say I was genuinely saddened by the news, but am so, so thrilled that Paolo is moving on to the next phase of his life. He is one of the kindest souls off the court, and one of the more ferocious competitors I've ever witnessed. We discuss this dichotomy, and so much more, on this week's BTRPod, with a BONUS EPISODE TOMORROW!\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 30 August 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> \"Lucky\" Loser<\/span><\/td><\/tr>Yeah, you heard about it. Noah Rubin decided yeah, sure, I'll play Andy Murray on Sunday after losing a heartbreaker 20 minutes earlier in Winston-Salem. He was lauded for giving it a go, and at least efforting to put on a show for a packed crowd.\nBut the story, and the pressure of that decision, was a lot more exhausting.\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 25 August 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Behind the Racquet with Taylor Townsend<\/span><\/td><\/tr>Taylor Townsend's life has been a bit different of late, shifting to a new role as Mom, and also just recently returning to the tennis court! She and Noah go WAY back, and after a bit of reminiscing, we walk through how much her life has changed, her recent \"The Players Tribune\" article about her prior battles with the USTA, and how she views and sees the recent discussions in the sporting world over mental health.\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 16 August 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Catching up in Cary with Krueger<\/span><\/td><\/tr>The boys have a quick chat about Noah's return to competitive tennis, and why it's so important to him again after a difficult stretch.\nMike takes a look back at the Atlantic Tire Championships in Cary, North Carolina, some of the surprises and big stories, as well as a quick discussion on Jenson Brooksby, Atlanta, and the potential US Open wild cards.\nThen we hear Mike's chat with Mitchell Krueger, recorded just after the Texan won his title on Sunday.\nSubscribe, and be a part of the discussion, @noahrubin33 and @mikectennis\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 27 July 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Behind the Racquet with Petros Chrysochos<\/span><\/td><\/tr>Petros Chrysochos is 25 years old, from Cyprus, and is currently ranked 359 in the world on the ATP Tour. But his story is fascinating. A junior top 20 player, an NCAA singles and team champion while at Wake Forest in 2018, and since leaving Wake in 2019, he's played professionally while serving his mandatory service time in the army in Cyprus. Remarkable stuff.\nHe and Noah did not overlap at Wake, but their relationship is deep as you'll hear in this wide ranging conversation.\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 19 July 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Update time: Noah talks PTPA, Novak vs the world, and....Sewer Cat<\/span><\/td><\/tr>It's been nearly 3 months since Noah and Mike have caught up and discussed issues of the day, so what better time!\nHere's a little timeline for you, and a note for our patreon supporters, LISTEN TO THE END OF THE SHOW!\n2:00- Noah Life Update\n6:00- Mike got a cat from the sewer\n8:00- Wimby recap, and the Big 3 vs Parity\n16:30- The player reaction to Naomi Osaka\n22:00- Noah's update on the PTPA\nLove y'all, more info on the shirts, and stickers, soon!\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 12 July 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Behind the Racquet with Goncalo Oliveira<\/span><\/td><\/tr>Noah will be back this week, after we air this episode I recorded in Orlando a few weeks ago!\nGoncalo Oliveira will take us on a ride through a fascinating childhood, to say the least. In some ways, it was living the dream; in others, not so much.\nHe's now on the cusp of being a perennial Grand Slam doubles participant. But that's not the goal yet. He'll explain why, and we'll talk about some of the ATP politics as well\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 28 June 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Behind the Racquet with J.C. Aragone<\/span><\/td><\/tr>What a treat to have J.C. stop by my house while he was in Tulsa for a Futures this week. Noah joins us by phone from Minnesota.\nWith J.C., we go through his development and time at Virginia, and then to the in depth discussion on how Type 1 diabetes has affected his life on and off the court. It's changed dramatically over the past 10 years, and is he at a new point in his life?\nNext week on the pod, Goncalo Oliveira.\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 21 June 2021<\/td><\/tr> <\/i><\/td> Behind the Racquet with Ulises Blanch<\/span><\/td><\/tr>Of note, no Noah this week, as he was both traveling, AND he had Islanders rinkside seats while I knocked out this pod, as well as one with Goncalo Oliveira that we'll post soon.\nUli is 23 years old, with a unique childhood that he'll tell you about. Really a fascinating interview, and thanks to everyone for popping in and spending time with me the last couple weeks back on the road!\n-Mike.\n<\/td><\/tr> Posted on 14 June 2021<\/td><\/tr><\/table>1<\/a> 2<\/a> 3<\/a> 4<\/a> 5<\/a> 6<\/a> 7<\/a> 8<\/a> 9<\/a> 10<\/a> 11<\/a> 12<\/a> 13<\/a> 14<\/a> 15<\/a> 16<\/a> 17<\/a> 18<\/a> 19<\/a> 20<\/a> 21<\/a> 22<\/a><\/div><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Behind the Racquet Podcast is the best glimpse you can get in to the ins and outs of professional tennis, told by its players, and voiced by Tennis Star Noah Rubin, and his podcast partner, tennis commentator Mike Cation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15"}],"version-history":[{"count":75,"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2686,"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/15\/revisions\/2686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/behindtheracquet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
