On this premiere episode on THE BIG T, hosts Brad Gilbert, Andrea Petkovic and Mark Petchey dive right into the biggest topic in tennis today which is the split between World #1 Carlos Alcaraz and longtime coach Carlos Ferrero.

Gilbert, who has coached World #1’s Andrea Agassi and Andy Roddick, speaks from experience and reveals the complexity of coaching contracts in tennis while Petchey, former coach of Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu gets emotional over the vulnerable relationship between players and coaches where sacrifice often doesn’t match loyalty.

Also, host Andrea Petkovic and Gilbert also explore the next phase of Ferrero’s career and the possibility of him coaching a WTA player?

Will any top 20 players be sliding into Juan Carlos’ DM’s for a chance to be coached by the top coaching free agent available today?

In this episode we will also include the interview with World #1 Carlos Alcaraz, conducted just prior to his split with Ferrero as Petko caught up with him during an off-season Exhibition match in Miami against Joao Fonseca.

THE BIG T podcast will be available January 7th and new episodes will be released every Wednesday.
