Description

Our Grand Slam correspondent – Martin Blackman of the USTA – previews American players heading into the Australian Open. With eight men aged 25 and younger in the ATP Tour top 50, Blackman sees a great 2023. Additionally, he says Atlanta native Ben Shelton, who past No. 100 in the world last year, is skyrocketing. He also discusses two top 10 women: former Atlantan Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. We continue to focus on Atlanta as native Alycia Parks sits at No. 75 in the world. The confident 22-year-old, who won in Angers last year, has a big serve and delivers forthright comments on her 2023 goals. Host Sam Crenshaw remembers when he rallied with her years ago. Our junior highlight is Justin Martin of Collierville, Tenn. We honor two USTA Southern award winners Tennis On Campus Club Univ. of North Carolina/Chapel Hill and TOC Leader Crawford Latham of Univ. of South Carolina.
