Coaching Simone Bolelli and Federation Politics

This week I speak to Claudio Pistolesi. Claudio is a former player turned coach who has worked with many players over his expansive coaching career. He now looks after a JTCC centre in Jacksonville Florida and consults with pros, one of them being Emil Ruusuvuori.

We chat about many of his experiences on the court and off the court.

Major topics include:

• Intro / Pistol Pete
• Toughest player Claudio has ever played
• Moving into coaching
• Learning from Monica Seles
• Players Claudio has coached
• Working with Robin Soderling
• Daniela Hantuchová
• Deciding to settle down
• Do you miss Rome?
• Berrettini could have gone to US College
• Claudio’s GOAT

Hope you enjoy the episode
