This week we speak to Philipp Born, a tennis coach who has studied various tennis patterns as part of his doctorate.

Philipp talks to us about:

  • Various tennis patterns that he studied for his PhD
  • German League Tennis
  • The importance of second serve speed
  • Advice for juniors

Philipp is super knowledgable about tennis and about different strategies that can be used on-court.  


The episode is slightly different to others - but offers an insight into patterns & strategies that pros use in real life from a different perspective.



Enjoy! 💯
